<translate> Joomla! is a truly international application and supports the translation of all strings contained within it. Templates are no exception, and a little extra time spent ensuring that the strings used in your templates are translatable will pay dividends. </translate>
<translate> The language translation system has been designed to be as simple and error-proof as possible. For example, even if a language file is missing, or a particular string has not been translated, Joomla will transparently fall back to showing the untranslated string. There are also some useful tools built into Joomla itself to assist translators in creating a new translation. </translate>
<translate> In this chapter you will learn about constructing language definition files for your template and how to include translations in your template package file. You will also learn how to make sure that all strings used in your template are translatable and how to debug a new translation. </translate>
Location of language definition files
<translate> Important note: Joomla language .ini
files must be saved as UTF-8 without the Byte Order Mark (BOM)[1]. </translate>
<translate> The format of language definition files is very basic. Blanks lines and lines beginning with "#" are ignored and the latter may be used to add comments to the file. Each line consists of a pair of strings separated by an equals sign like this : </translate>
<translate> where "KEY" is a string to be translated and "Value" is the translated string. For example : </translate>
ADDITIONAL_INFORMATION="Additional Information"
<translate> The "KEY" must be in all capitals or the string will not be found. The case of the source string does not matter as strings are folded to upper case before searching takes place. So "additional information", "Additional Information" or even "AdDiTiOnAl InFoRmAtIoN" will be matched. </translate>
<translate> The "KEY" can include spaces and other punctuation characters but there should not be any spaces either side of the equals sign as spaces are significant. If more than one entry has the same left-hand side, the last one to be encountered is the one that will be used. </translate>
<translate> The "VALUE" cannot include double-quote characters ("). To get a double-quote character you must use the HTML special character sequence """ instead. Single-quote characters (') are valid. </translate>
<translate> More information about the discussed changes for the Joomla 2.5 and 3.x series can be found on the page Specification of language files </translate>
<translate> To ensure that your template is fully internationalised you must make sure that certain XML elements are translated and that the language definition files are listed in the templateDetails.xml
file. </translate>
A couple of the elements in the templateDetails.xml
file are used in the Template Manager and are themselves translatable. The description should always be translated. </translate>
name</translate> |
Name of the template. For example, Beez</translate> |
description</translate> |
Description of the template</translate> |
<translate> These fields are also shown to the user during template installation. </translate>
</translate> <translate> All language files must be declared in the templateDetails.xml
file. This is done by adding two <language> elements for each language to be included with the template; one for the front-end strings; the other for the administrator back-end strings. For example, the two British English language files and the two German language files for the Beez template are declared as follows: </translate>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <install version="1.5" type="template"> ......... <languages> <language tag="en-GB">en-GB.tpl_beez.ini</language> <language tag="de-DE">de-DE.tpl_beez.ini</language> </languages> ......... <administration> <languages folder="admin"> <language tag="en-GB">en-GB.tpl_beez.ini</language> <language tag="de-DE">de-DE.tpl_beez.ini</language> </languages> </administration> </install>
<translate> Note that in the administration <languages> tag the folder attribute is used. This is because the language files for the front-end and back-end have the same file names and so cannot exist in the same directory within the template package file. In this example, the administration language files have been placed in a sub-directory called admin to separate them from the front-end language files. </translate>
<translate> In the template itself translations are handled using the JText
static class. It is referred to as "static" because it does not require instantiation as an object before its methods may be used. </translate>
<translate> Most text strings can be translated using the "_" (underscore) method. For example, suppose your template contains the English text "Welcome" which needs to be made translatable. </translate>
<?php echo 'Welcome'; ?>
<translate> Then you would replace the static string like this </translate>
<?php echo JText::_( 'Welcome' ); ?>
<translate> This would cause the translation system to search the appropriate language file for "WELCOME" on the left-hand side of an equals sign. The search is case-insensitive. If this language definition string is encountered </translate>
<translate> then the effect will be to output the string "Welcome!" to the browser. If the user switches to the German language then the German language definition file will be searched for "WELCOME" and this time might encounter the string </translate>
<translate> and so "Willkommen" will be sent to the browser. Importantly, if the user switches to German but there is no German language file present, or the appropriate string does not appear in the German language file, then Joomla will fall back to sending the untranslated string "Welcome" to the browser, also preserving its original case. </translate>
<translate> Joomla supports some useful debugging mechanisms that can make it easier to locate untranslated strings and diagnose problems with language translations in installed extensions. </translate>
</translate> [[Image:global-config-language-debug-<translate> en</translate>.png|right]]<translate> You activate language debugging via the Administration Back-end by going into Global Configuration and clicking on the System tab. Find the Debug Language field, change the value to "Yes" and save your changes. </translate>
<translate> With this option active all translatable strings are shown surrounded with special characters that indicate their status </translate>
Code</translate> |
Status</translate> |
●Joomla CMS● | <translate>
(text surrounded by bullets) indicates that a match has been found in the language definition file and the string has been translated.</translate> |
??Joomla CMS?? | <translate>
(text surrounded by pairs of question marks) indicates that the string is translatable but no match was found in the language definition file.</translate> |
Joomla CMS | <translate>
(text with no surrounding characters) indicates that the string is not translatable.</translate> |
</translate> <translate> Additional language debugging information can be obtained by activating system debugging. This is done by going into Global Configuration and clicking on the System tab. Find the Debug System field, change the value to "Yes" and save your changes. </translate>
<translate> With this option active all screens have additional debugging information at the end of each page. Currently this includes </translate>
Profile information. This is the amount of time taken to execute code up to various mark points in the code.</translate>
Memory usage. The amount of system RAM used.</translate>
SQL queries executed. All of the SQL queries executed in the process of building the page.</translate>
Language files loaded. A list of all the language files loaded in the process of building the page, including full path information. This can be useful to check that the expected files have been loaded. The number after each file path is the number of times that the file was referenced.</translate>
Untranslated strings diagnostic. A list of all the untranslated strings found and the likely file location given where the JText call was made.</translate>
Untranslated strings designer. A list of all the untranslated strings found but listed in a KEY=Value format so they can be copy-pasted directly into a language definition file (INI).</translate>
</translate> [[Image:debug-plugin-<translate> en</translate>.png|right]]<translate> This system plugin controls what is displayed when debugging is activated in Global Configuration. It is enabled by default. You can access the parameters for the plugin from Extensions → Plugin Manager. Locate the "System - Debug" plugin and click on it. There are three settings of interest to translators.</translate>
Display loaded language files. If set to "Yes" then the debug information will include a list of the language files that were requested as the current page was being generated.</translate>
Display undefined language strings. If set to "diagnostic mode" then a list of untranslated strings and the location of the file containing the call to JText is included in the debug information. If set to "designer mode" then a list of untranslated strings in a format that can be copy-pasted directly into a language definition file is included in the debug information. That is, it displays the list in KEY=String format. If set to "All modes" then both the diagnostic mode and designer mode lists are included in the debug information.</translate>
Strip Key Prefix. Only used when Display undefined language strings is set to "Designer mode" or "All modes". This allows you to strip a prefix from the string to form the key. This is useful if the designer uses a common prefix for their extensions when using JText methods. See example below.</translate>
<translate> Note that the display of untranslated strings will only display the value passed to the appropriate JText method. For example, with the following code: </translate>
echo JText::_( 'Reports Import Configuration' );
<translate> If untranslated, Designer mode will display this as: </translate>
# /administrator/components/com_reports/views/reports/tmpl/default.php REPORTS IMPORT CONFIGURATION=Reports Import Configuration
<translate> If the Strip Key Prefix is set to "Reports", then the display would change slightly to: </translate>
# /administrator/components/com_reports/views/reports/tmpl/default.php REPORTS IMPORT CONFIGURATION=Import Configuration
<translate> Note that the path shown is only a best guess based on a call to the PHP debug_backtrace function. Sometimes it is accurate, sometimes it is not and there are also cases where no file could be determined. In those cases you have to use your best judgement. </translate>

Mammary Gland (Breast) Tumors in Dogs
In this article
The success rate of surgery depends on the biological potential and the size of the tumor. Benign tumors are cured. Bitches with small malignant tumors less than 1 inch (25cm) across have favorable cure rates. Those with large, aggressive tumors are more likely to have metastatic disease and a poor prognosis.
The addition of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and complete ovariohysterectomy does not improve cure rates, although chemotherapy may offer some relief in bitches with advanced cancers that cannot be surgically excised.
Prevention:Spaying a female before the first heat cycle reduces her risk of breast cancer to less than 1 percent. If she is spayed after one heat period, her risk is still only 8 percent. After two heat cycles, however, there is no reduction in risk.
It is important to examine the mammary glands of unspayed bitches every month, starting at 6 years of age or younger. If you feel a suspicious lump or swelling, take the dog to your veterinarian at once. Experience shows that many owners procrastinate for several months hoping that a lump will go away. Thus, the opportunity to cure many mammary cancers is lost.

Is there anything else you can bring? What about soup and sandwhiches or something? Panera Bread, Subway, etc. Sushi?
pookas is right about the sodium, but the calories/pp arent too bad.
I think its 6-7 ppt+/cup, and rice is 5 pp+/cup.
When I order Chinese I always order whatever dish I like steamed with the sauce on the side...and I dip the sauce, using maybe a 1-2 TBLSs. If you do that your friend can dump as much sauce as she wants and you can dip. Then you only need to count the chicken and the little bit of sauce and rice you have.
Lowers pp+ and sodium!

CIO Perspective: How to Improve the ROI of Your Software
📅Feb 20th, 2015
IT departments spend a good time to justify the return of their investments. However, software investments, taking a significant portion of the investments, are often neglected. Considering that the Pareto rule is in place for software use as well - 20% of the users use 80% of the application, or 80% of the users use 20% of the application etc.- CIOs need to rethink about improving the return on software investment....

Home › Forums › Speaker Forum › Getting Your System Connected › In Ceiling front and rear speakers?
This topic contains 3 replies, has 2 voices, and was last updated by Matt 4 years ago.
December 29, 2010 at 6:36 am #1843
I'm building a house and the living room is spacious but unfortunately doesn't have much walls. Lost of windows and it opens up to the kitchen on the right side. I'm wondering about using in-ceiling speakers for both the front and surround speakers, and placing the center speaker over the fireplace.
I'm planning on putting the center speaker and the TV over the fireplace (top center, in the photo). The green marks are where my walls are.
Any thoughts?
December 29, 2010 at 4:19 pm #1921First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Matt and I'm a new Guru at Aperion. I've worked in the industry for 8 years now.
In-ceiling speakers although not ideal, work amazingly well for wall challenged rooms. You will definitely want the type that have an inclined woofer to direct the sound more accurately to the listening position. The Aperion in-ceiling speakers have this feature. They are also designed for an infinite baffle because the cavity they are placed in is usually open. A couple of tricks would be to build an enclosure behind them with a few cubic feet of airspace and add polyfil to reduce the echo inside. If insulation is already installed then you will want to use a breathable material like cheese cloth or nylon stockings to keep foreign particles like the insulation out of the motor of the speaker.
Just having a good center channel will make this all a little more bearable if you are having doubts about this type of setup. I would also put the TV and center speaker over the fireplace as long as the speaker is able to be directed at the listening position.
I hope this was helpful.
December 30, 2010 at 6:31 am #1868Thank you for your reply, Matt.
I went to the house, and the first floor has been framed. I believe that I can get wall mounted speakers for the fronts. (Thank god. I really wasn't interested in having the front speakers being ceiling-mounted)) The rear will certainly have to be in-ceiling.
The sound guy I consulted asked if your speakers have "back boxes". I guess this is the enclosure you were mentioning. I'll pass along your thoughts on it.
Thanks again. I'm sure I'll be calling your sales people in a month or so.
February 25, 2011 at 3:17 pm #1922Right we don't sell back boxes, but you can build something cheap with a few cubic feet and be good. Also adding polyfil like what you would find in a
pillow will help deaden any echo's or hollowness. You should add it generously, but don't have to fill the box completely. This will also help to trick the
speaker into thinking the space is larger than what is really there.

Application DetailsI applied online – interviewed at Fidelity Investments.
Interview DetailsPrompt response to my application, which was nice. Initial interview was over the phone for 45 minutes. Nicely done with relevant questions about my current and past work, what I like about the Fidelity position and company; only a few challenging questions: tell me about a time when... The interviewer was clear that the position was entry level and had expectations of completing Series 7 and 66 exams. She said the salary would be $35K with possible bonuses, and this was non-negotiable. She said she wanted to offer me another interview - this one to be on-site with the organization. She prepared me with their possible questions and offered helpful feedback for how to answer thos questions. Due to this, I felt at ease going into the second interview. The second interview: I was in a group of 8 who were ushered into a conference room and introduced to the company by two men who shared their positions and career paths to date. We watched a power point presentation about Fidelity and then were taken as individuals to be interviewed. I was interviewed by two other men who put me at ease and tag-teamed their questions. That part lasted about 35 minutes. They wanted to know what I knew about the company and why I wanted to work for Fidelity. They also asked if I knew about the Series 7 and 66 exams. They answered my questions and led me to think the interview went well and their next step was to meet with the other interviewers and "fight for me" as a new hire. I havent heard yet whether I will be extended an offer. They said it would be up to 2 weeks. It's been 2 days.
Interview Questions- Are you open to receiving feedback about your work and making immediate adjustments? View Answer
No OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview - Application Details
I applied through college or university – interviewed at Fidelity Investments.
Interview DetailsI went to my college career fair and they had my resume. They emailed me to set up a phone interview 2 weeks later for the Technical Summer Internship Program. The first interview was mostly conversational. She asked me my interests and what I am looking for in an internship and the specified technical position. She was very friendly. She then said she'll call back if she finds a match for me.
The recruiter called back in 2 weeks asking for a 2nd interview. It was a very short interview with the department head and a current employee, asking me about my work experience, why I chose my major, what programming classes I took and the grades I got in them. They asked me if I was familiar with SQL & Linux. Then explained me the position and type of work they do. Overall it was fairly easy.Interview Questions- They asked me if I was familiar with SQL & Linux. Answer Question

We talked about my resume and they set me up an interview with a manager. About a week later I had the phone interview with a manager. It lasted about 30 minutes. They told me about what the position entailed and asked me some questions to see if I was qualified. I got word a few weeks after saying that I got the position.

Interview DetailsApplied online via Fidelity website and was contacted by a recruiter within 2 weeks. Spoke with a Recruiter the following week provided an overview of the company, division and position and asked a few questions regarding SQL and Linux experience as these were necessary for the position. Interview was scheduled for the following week. I spoke with the team lead initially who asked questions about my resume and tried to get a feel for related experience. He also inquired about my Linux and SQL experience. After this interview, I spoke with another manager, primarily explaining my resume. After 2 pretty good interviews, I was informed a little over a week later they were going with another candidate. Overall took about a month.

I applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at Fidelity Investments in December 2013.
Interview DetailsApplied online and within two weeks received an email wanting to setup a phone interview. This was rather general in nature. Questions were why are you leaving and why do you want to work here, what do you do at work, and other generic questions. Also, I was given details about the company and how its structured, A day or two later I received another email that now I would need to do another phone interview, this time with the hiring manager and another individual who I think may have been a department lead/director. This interview was technical in nature discussing technologies that i have experience with. Projects and specific accomplishments. we also talk about what their goals were and spoke technically about how I could fit into help them accomplish that. I think the interview went well and Im sure the interviewers would agree. However, based on some of the discussions that we had, think we it became obvious that this position was probably not the right position for me at this time. A day or two after the interview I got a call back from the recruiter with feed back from the interviewers. The process was very pleasant and I admire the communication throughout the whole thing.
Interview Questions- None of the questions were difficult in nature Answer Question

Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at Fidelity Investments.
Interview DetailsThe initial screening was with HR to ask about current job and related information. The second interview was a phone interview with management. The third interview was in-person where you had three different 30-minute interviews with different department managers. They really all just asked questions related to the resume and past jobs, and would wonder off topic to try to find out your personality. It was a pretty easy interview process.
Interview Questions- The questions all seemed to be relatively easy and related to prior experience/knowledge. Answer Question
Negotiation DetailsThere was no negotiation. It was either accept the offer or not. My advice would be to not reveal your current salary. And make sure to make your desired salary higher than what you really want. They do not give good raises and you will be stuck at that salary.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview - Application Details
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Fidelity Investments.

OpinionSyria: The evil results of doing good The Annan Plan is 'worse than feckless', because it buys the Assad regime time and precludes more effective options. 28 Mar 2012 11:16 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, China, Lebanon, Russia In Rwanda, 'Annan's forbearance provided evil men with an opportunity they should not have had', says Grenier [AFP]About the Author Robert Grenier Former CIA station chief Robert Grenier heads ERG Partners, a financial consultancy firm. Story highlightsWashington, DC - Kofi Annan is a good man. We know that. We have all watched him for years. Where there is conflict and misunderstanding, whether among individuals, groups, or nations, he seeks conciliation. When two parties are in armed conflict, he does not take sides; instead, he tries to make peace. But we also know that his instincts, however noble, have sometimes served him badly. That was true in Rwanda, when Annan's forbearance provided evil men with an opportunity they should not have had. It was also occasionally true at the UN, where the corrupt and the abusive sometimes found sanctuary in the nurturing environment of the then-Secretary General's tolerant understanding. And now, once again, we see Kofi Annan on a world stage, following, asWashington, DC - Kofi Annan is a good man. We know that. We have all watched him for years. Where there is conflict and misunderstanding, whether among individuals, groups, or nations, he seeks conciliation. When two parties are in armed conflict, he does not take sides; instead, he tries to make peace. But we also know that his instincts, however noble, have sometimes served him badly. That was true in Rwanda, when Annan's forbearance provided evil men with an opportunity they should not have had. It was also occasionally true at the UN, where the corrupt and the abusive sometimes found sanctuary in the nurturing environment of the then-Secretary General's tolerant understanding. And now, once again, we see Kofi Annan on a world stage, following, as usual, his noble instincts. Annan urges UN unity on Syria Annan was a logical choice for the UN and the Arab League to serve as their joint envoy to Syria. The UN Security Council is at loggerheads. Its permanent members cannot agree on a course of action regarding Syria. China, burdened by its ongoing mistreatment of Tibetans and Uighurs, will not support any action which could set a precedent for international interference in domestic repression. Russia has its own interests in the preservation of the Assad regime, and can cite its abhorrence of protracted civil war to forestall concerted international action against it. The Arab League, for all that it has dealt sternly with Assad, has its own preoccupations and divisions, and collectively flinches from aiding and abetting violent insurrection in an Arab nation. Professional peacemaker Yes, all this makes Kofi Annan a logical choice as emissary. He is, after all, a professional peacemaker. He will not choose sides, and his six-point interim peace proposal for Syria is a model of even-handedness, both as between the regime and the rebels, and as between their respective allies. When circumstances will not permit distinctions between oppressor and oppressed, between aggressor and victim, or between right and wrong, Kofi is your man. The patient Ghanaian will deal impartially with anyone. He will sit, as he did over the past weekend with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, to discuss his peace proposal, as though the latter were earnestly seeking justice in the Levant. But does anyone honestly think that the Syrian regime, committed as it is to a programme of violent intimidation and collective punishment, will provide "full humanitarian access", or a daily "humanitarian pause" for those whom it suspects of aiding its adversaries? What are the chances that the tender Mr Assad will release detainees who may promptly rejoin the struggle against him, or that he will permit foreign journalists to freely document his atrocities? Who would want to bet his life, or the lives of those dear to him, that Bashar and his generals will honour a ceasefire, or engage in good faith in a "political dialogue" with those who are challenging their power? Pursuing such "solutions" is worse than feckless, for it forestalls other, potentially effective actions. By permitting the Syrian regime added time, it is morally equivalent to aiding and abetting Bashar al-Assad. Diplomats at the UN embraced the Annan proposals - not because they had any chance of implementation, but because they demonstrated "progress". Diplomats love a process, and that's what the Annan Plan provides them. The hope is that when - not if - the proposals are effectively stymied by Syria, the unanimously approved UN "statement" by which the Annan proposals were launched might then be passed as a "resolution". More "progress". But a feckless statement will not be any more effective for having become a resolution. This is the diplomatic equivalent of Zeno's Paradox, for each progressively smaller step forward slowly converges on, but can never pass the hard barrier of Sino-Russian obduracy. Violence continues Live Box 2011421105226899357 Meanwhile, the Syrian Army that devastated Baba Amr continues its brutal shelling of al-Khalidiya and its offensive in Hama Province. And the rebels of the Free Syrian Army, who are rapidly running out of arms and ammunition, are being progressively forced to flee to Turkey and Lebanon. There are no clean and morally unambiguous options in this conflict, which has already become a civil war with sectarian overtones. In the best of circumstances, there will be considerable bloodshed and much violence and injustice done to innocents. Those countries willing to engage effectively and realistically with the opposition will have the opportunity at least to influence them, however marginally, in positive directions, as some are trying to do in advance of the "Friends of Syria" meeting scheduled for April 1 in Istanbul. But such good as can be done in these circumstances will only be done by those who are willing to climb metaphorically into the ring, and to dirty themselves in the process of providing such assistance as is possible to the oppressed of Syria as they struggle to liberate themselves from an unspeakable regime. It will mean taking sides.It was therefore encouraging to see the agreement reached this past Sunday between US President Obama and Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan to increase the flow of non-lethal aid to the Syrian opposition. This is doubtless but an early step in a process, yet another process. Let us hope that the process continues quickly. For what the situation needs is not high-minded sentiments, but effective, lethal aid to Syrians willing to fight for basic freedoms against a regime that has shed any pretense of legitimacy or respectability. Edmund Burke famously said that all that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. The good and high-minded people, the Kofi Annans if you will, who vote on statements and pass resolutions, who promote quixotic peace proposals, who hold earnest parleys with implacable dictators, may appear to have clean hands in the end. Those who engage, who try to do good in an evil world, on the other hand, will be compromised. But when ultimately the smoke has cleared, both literally and metaphorically, and the final accounting is made, and judgments are passed on all those implicated, either for their action or for their inaction, it will be upon the shoulders of the "good" that the weight of moral opprobrium should fall.

This report was written as an assignment for English 202C at Penn State. Please read this report for grading, and make any suggestions that you think will help me improve it for my final draft. Thank you for your time. Graduate School Analysis: Emory University and Tulane University Prepared by: Sarah Kauder Prepared for: Jason Charneski, Instructor June 23, 2009 Abstract "Graduate School Analysis: Emory University and Tulane University" Prepared By: Sarah Kauder This report was written for the English 202C (Technical Writing) course at The Pennsylvania State University. It is an analysis of the Masters in Public Health degree programs offered at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health, and Tulane University's School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. Research was conducted online at the university websites to find relevant information on which to base the analysis. I concluded that Emory University had the best graduate program for me, because it best fulfilled most of the qualities that I was looking for in a graduate program.

It is an analysis of the Masters in Public Health degree programs offered at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health, and Tulane University's School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. I conducted online research at the University websites to find relevant information based on a set of criteria that I developed. Then I compiled all of my research and formed my conclusions. This report demonstrates my ability to think critically and draw conclusions from my research. It also shows my technical writing ability. I drew up a list of criteria by thinking about the qualities I wanted in my graduate school and degree program. I used the criteria to focus my research on only the aspects of each university in which I was interested. After analyzing each graduate program I drew my conclusions. I decided, based on how well the school met my criteria, that The Program at Emory University would be the best match for me. 1 Introduction In my English 202C course, we were asked to find two Graduate schools that offer a program we were interested in and to write an analysis of them. The following is an analysis of Emory University and Tulane University. They both have schools of public health and offer a Master in Public Health (MPH) degree in International or Global Health. The purpose of this analysis was to determine which school and graduate program best suited my personal and professional goals and standards. The appendix at the end of this report contains a cover letter and my Curriculum Vitae for further reference. Methodology The first step I took was to find a list of the top accredited Schools of Public Health in the country. I found the rankings on the U.S.News and World Report Website. I used this site before when I was looking for undergraduate schools, so I thought that this would be a good place to start. Both Emory and Tulane were ranked in the top fifteen Schools of Public Health in the country. The next step I took was to go to the official websites of Emory University and Tulane University. I chose these sites because they were most likely to have the majority of the information I was searching for. From those sites I found the websites for Emory's Rollins School of Public Health and Tulane's School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. I am very confident that the information I gathered from these sites is accurate and of good quality because it comes from the official websites of the schools and not from an outside source. 2 To determine the focus of my research, I went by a list of criteria. Some of the criteria came from my English instructor and some of them were things that I was personally looking for in a graduate school program. They are the following: 1. The mission and goals of the school 2. The Departments offering an MPH and the areas of specialty they offer 3. The location of the school 4. Opportunities for field experience and involvement with local health organizations. 5. Admission requirements Description and Analysis of Emory University I. Mission and Goals The Mission of the Rollins School of Public Health (RSPH) is "to acquire, disseminate, and apply knowledge and train leaders to promote health and prevent disease in human populations around the world". The goals of RSPH are: - to educate for professional careers in public health through masters programs - to conduct basic and applied research in recognition, characterization and resolution of health problems - to provide support to local, state, federal, and international organizations - to create an environment that supports instruction, research, and service. 3 II. Degrees and Programs RSPH offers six MPH programs. These programs are Behavioral sciences and Health Education, Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, Environmental and Occupational Health, Epidemiology, Health Policy and Management, and Global Health. Within the Global Health program there are four areas of concentration; Infectious disease, public nutrition, reproductive health and population studies, and community health and development. The MPH in Global Health requires 42 credits usually completed in two years. III. Location The MPH degree at Emory University is offered by the Rollins School of Public Health. It was founded in 1990. Emory is located the Atlanta, Georgia suburb of druid Hills. The campus is about a fifteen minute drive from downtown Atlanta, and there is public transportation between the downtown area and Emory. Atlanta is known as the "Public health capital of the World". The offices of the US Centers for Disease Control, The American Cancer Society, The Carter Center, CARE USA, and other state and regional health centers are located in close proximity to the school. IV. Opportunities Due to the close proximity to many public health organizations, there are a lot of opportunities for students to get practical experience in their areas of interest. The school offers global practicum opportunities. RSPH also offers Global field experiences. These give students the opportunity to use the knowledge they gained in their first year in real world settings around the globe. Another opportunity for enrichment is the 4 compañeros exchange program. This is an intensive, week-long program in Mexico in which students are exposed to culture and field work through lectures, lab tours, and field visits conducted in Spanish. V. Admission Requirements The first step in the application process is to fill out the SOPHAS application. This is an online application that many accredited schools of public health use. Along with the online application, prospective students must also take the GRE, obtain three letters of recommendation, send in school transcripts, write a personal essay, and demonstrate that they have had volunteer/field/work experience. The average GPA is 3.6 for graduate students, and the minimum GPA for the Global Health department is 3.0. The average GRE scores are; 551 verbal, 664 quantitative, and 685 analytical. The Global Health department considers 1200-1300 to be a competitive range for GRE scores. Description and Analysis of Tulane University I. Mission and Goals The mission of the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine is "to advance public health knowledge, promote health, and well being, and prevent disease, disability, and premature mortality". This is accomplished through rigorous education, research, partnerships, and service. The school also has a set of goals: - to provide educational opportunities that prepare students to identify, resolve, and prevent public health problems 5 - to advance knowledge - to improve community health through disease prevention and health promotion II. Degrees and Programs Tulane offers an MPH degree in Biostatistics, Community Health sciences, Environmental Health Sciences, Epidemiology, Health Systems Management, International Health and Development, and Tropical Medicine. The MPH program requires the completion 42 credits. III. Location Tulane University is located in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is situated in the central business district six blocks from the French Quarter. The area is the regional center for health care programs. IV. Opportunities There are many opportunities for research while studying at Tulane. Students are able to work with a variety of centers and institutions to do this research. Some of these centers are: the Center for Evidence-Based Global Health, the Center for Infectious Diseases, the Center for Health Equity Research, and the Office of Global Health. V. Admission Requirements The school uses the online application SOPHAS. It also requires it's applicants to get three letters of recommendation, write a career statement of no more than 1500 6 words, and submit a CV. For the International Health degree program, the minimum GPA is 3.0 and the minimum GRE combined score is 1000. Results The MPH program in Global Health at Emory University (RSPH) meets many of the requirements that I have for graduate school. It is located near the headquarters for some of the largest public health organizations in the country, which creates great opportunities for field experience. I love warm weather and I hate winter, and both RSPH and Tulane are located in the southern United States where it is warm almost all year. The suburb RSPH is located in is beautiful, and its vicinity to the city of Atlanta really nice. Being located ten minutes from downtown Atlanta is great because there are lots of activities to do, places to go, and restaurants to eat at. Tulane is actually located in the central business district of New Orleans which I don't really like very much. I like being near a city, but I do not know how much I would actually like living in a large city. The location isn't the only aspect that I am basing my decision on, the Academics are also very important. I am really interested in nutrition and disease prevention and the Global Health department at RSPH offers nutrition and Infectious diseases as areas of concentration within their MPH program. Tulane offers an MPH in International Health and development which I like, but they don't really have any areas of concentration. The admission process at both schools is very similar. Both require the SOPHAS online application. They also request the same number of reference letters, and a 7 personal goal statement. The average GRE and GPA for RSPH students is higher than at Tulane, which indicates that it might be easier to get accepted to the Tulane MPH program. Conclusions If I had to decide between RSPH and Tulane, I believe that RSPH at Emory University would be the best school for me. The Global Health Degree program at RSPH would definitely take me in the right direction towards my future goals. One of the factors that has solidified my decision is the school's close proximity to all of the Public Health organizations in Atlanta. I would have many opportunities to gain practical experience while taking classes, which is very important. Doing the research for this report has shown me what I am looking for in a graduate program, and it has definitely helped me make this decision.

I have been interested in Global health for a long time and I have been doing some research on the Universities that offer a Masters in public health degree in Global or International Health. I have read a lot about the Global Health program at the Rollins School of Public Health and I am very interested in applying to your school. I was wondering if you could help me begin the application process and point me towards some faculty members that I could speak with to learn more about the program. On the school website I noticed that RSPH has close relationships with some of the nearby public health organizations such as the CDC. I am really interested in gaining some more practical experience and want to know if there is a way to intern with one of these organizations before starting my graduate studies. Any help or advice you could give me would be much appreciated. I have enclosed my CV for reference. Thank you for your time.
