Life is too short to spend on a job that you either hate, or one that doesn’t give you the sense that you’re doing something to make the world a little better. That’s why I feel so blessed to have built my career in healthcare information technology. After a few unfulfilling jobs in my 20’s, I got my first break in healthcare IT in 1995. It’s very often that I reflect on that as one of the best choices I’ve ever made. Of course, every workplace has its challenging situations and people, but if I could have a do-over I don’t think I could have chosen a much better option considering my background and personality. Well, except for rock guitarist, but I never got good enough to realistically make a living at that.
So if you’re struggling to find your place, or if you are in another segment of technology, let’s look at some of the benefits of working in healthcare IT.
An important aspect of career and personal development is having a good understanding of your own traits, preferences, and habits. Do you thrive on personal interactions and processes? Then you might make a good project manager. Are you more of a task-oriented “heads down” worker? You could do well as a systems analyst or doing medical device support.
You are probably either more of a “generalist”, or the type who thrives on working with complex processes and problems. Either way, there are dozens of paths to a great career in Healthcare IT. You can be as specific or as general as you want.
A great example of how specific this gets can be seen with interface analysts. Interfaces in healthcare are technical components that allow different technology platforms to share clinical data with each other. For example, a lab system needs to send results to an electronic health records system, but that lab system is built with different technology than the EHR. Both systems use a common standard called Health Level Seven (HL7). This standard has rules that all vendors comply with in order to share data. An interface analyst can spend their entire career working just with HL7 and interfaces.
A lot of people who work in healthcare IT could make more money at large tech companies, but find a sense of purpose in supporting the clinicians who deliver care to all of us. We’re always aware that these clinicians depend on us to build and maintain systems that help them to provide the best care possible and comply with all kinds of government and hospital regulations. We all carry a high level of accountability to be sure that the work we do helps our customers and protects patients. A misplaced decimal point in banking can cause a disastrous financial transaction; but the same misplaced decimal in healthcare can kill patients.
In the summer of 2000, the dot-com bubble was at its peak. The economy was red-hot, and I was working for an EMR vendor in downtown Seattle. There were lots of internet companies hiring, so I took the leap and joined one just a mile or so from where I worked. It lasted about seven months. Heading into winter, the bottom began to fall out of the tech industry and for the first time in my life, I got laid off. I also had a wedding planned for the following summer, so it was a stressful time.
At first, I didn’t think I wanted to get back into healthcare, so I tried applying for all kinds of jobs in consulting, banking, and other IT sectors. After a few months of no job offers, my previous employer started looking pretty good. There was an open position doing just about the same thing I had done before- working with HL7 interfaces. They hired me back at a higher salary than when I had left, and I jumped right back in. Then 9/11 happened and the economy continued to tank. Although my company was affected, we were still in decent shape. We rode out the storm, and I stayed in that position for another seven years.
During my short stint at that e-commerce company in 2000, I didn’t see many people over age 40, and the ones that I did work with didn’t seem to connect well with some of the younger workers and weren’t always taken seriously.
In the Healthcare IT space, I’ve seen lots of people in their 50’s and 60’s who have been able to take on new roles, learn new skills, and even move to different organizations. In fact, the U.S. Department of Labor has expressed concern about the overall age of healthcare workers. The average age of an RN in the U.S. is 50. If anything, we need more younger people to join the healthcare IT workforce for the foreseeable future.
As a young kid, I was the one who took things apart to see how they worked. As an applications analyst, I have times where I can play in the sandbox to see what I can come up with. The methods change depending on what technology you’re working with. In a past position, I used a rules-based decision support product to change the way screens flowed into each other on a clinical application. I enjoyed hearing what users didn’t like about the system, and coming up with ways to make the software work better for them. Today, I work mostly in Epic. Among other things, I get to build clinical components that pull in data from various sources to present a complete picture to clinicians who use the system.
If you’ve been around technology for any amount of time, you know that it generally creates about as many problems as it solves. I would be dishonest to say that Healthcare IT has no drawbacks or shortcomings. You can read about some of them here. However, there are lots of areas where electronic records and data analytics are having a real impact on patient outcomes. Electronic Health Records systems are helping to reduce hospital readmissions, helping to manage chronic diseases, and identifying ways to predict and improve disease outcomes.
Over half of hospitals in the U.S. use technology from either Cerner, Epic, or MEDITECH. While I’m not a fan of oligopoly markets, this has created an easy path for technology workers who have these specific vendor skills. In 2015, I moved my family from Seattle to Raleigh in search of better weather and a lower cost of living. Because I had been working as an Epic analyst at a hospital near Seattle for the previous seven years, I was easily able to find a similar position at a hospital in the Raleigh area. On a personal level the cross-country move was just as disruptive as you may think. I had all the adjustments that come with a big change- a different culture, finding my way around, and getting settled. It was a great comfort to go to work every day and see the same familiar processes, technical tools, and applications. Even the department structure of my new job was pretty much the same as my previous one. It was like I took my job with me.
If you are struggling to find a great career path, a career in Healthcare Information Technology could be what you're looking for. Here are seven great things about working in Healthcare IT.

text:
Directory Opus 12.1.1 (beta) is now available for all Opus 12 users.
Added FileType NEWCOUNT argument which lets you create more than one new file at once (e.g. FileType NEW=.txt NEWCOUNT=10).
Added CreateFolder ASK argument to cause the dialog to be displayed even if a name is provided (e.g. CreateFolder "New Folder Name" ASK).
Added drivelabel argument for breadcrumbs path fields, to display drive label along with the drive letter.
The advanced filter control now has a Case sensitive option for Name and several other clauses.
The Favorites item in the folder tree now has a context menu which lets you open the favorites editor (Preferences page).
The Save Tab Group dialog (that's displayed by the Go TABGROUPSAVE command) now has a checkbox letting you control the Close existing tabs flag for the new group.
The Find DUPES command now lets you use the NAME argument to provide a wildcard name filter when searching for duplicates.
The Replace File dialog's rename field now supports more of the features of the regular inline rename field (including capitalization, F2 to cycle selection, and left/right cursor handling).
Photoshop CMYK images with alpha are now supported.
The Music category in the filter control (advanced find) now lets you search on the Year field.
External icon sets can now refer to internal image resources (such as the default toolbar icons) without having to include redundant copies of the image data. The main goal is to allow alternative size (and DPI-scaling) variants of the internal sets. Internal icon sets contain four image sizes (22, 32, 48 and 64 pixels) but until now you only had access to two of the sizes at any given DPI. This also makes it possible to use the flat and glass icon styles at the same time.
The OnGetCustomFields rename script method now lets you assign default focus to one of the custom fields, by setting the GetCustomFieldData.focus property to the name of the field. You can also use !oldname and !newname to assign focus to the standard old and new name fields.
Added an interface for multiple-selection listboxes in script dialogs.
Control.SelectItem now works with multi-selection listboxes. -1 can be given as the index to select all items in the listbox.
New method Control.DeselectItem lets items be deselected.
Control.value now returns and accepts a Vector of DialogListItem objects for multiple-selection listboxes.
New property DialogListItem.selected provides another way to query or set the selection state of items in a multiple-selection listbox.
Fixed problem which could cause sort header to not appear in the default tab of a new Lister when in one of the icon modes.
Fixed problem with displaying correct filetype description for matlab .m files.
The Go FOLDERCONTENT=move (or =copy) command now works from the toolbar in the standalone image viewer.
Fixed problem which could cause slow startup with network favorites displayed in the tree.
Fixed problem which could cause the vertical scroll offset to be reset when going forwards/back in the history (instead of preserving the saved offset).
Scrolling horizontally in list mode by clicking the scrollbar gutter will no longer skip partially visible columns.
The relative date graphs are now based on the timestamps as displayed in the file display. So if milliseconds are not displayed, they also won't be considered when calculating the graphs (same goes for seconds).
CreateFolder now works properly when pipe-separated names are specified on the command line (e.g. CreateFolder blah\1|2|3).
Opus no longer inspects the contents of .tmp files in an attempt to generate thumbnails for them.
Fixed crash in Rename dialog that could be caused by having an empty new name string in Find & Replace mode and turning on the Rename matching filenames as one option.
The move up/down buttons in the Folder Options / Columns tab did not work correctly.
Select FROMSCRIPT (when used from a script, obviously) now works reliably with libraries.
The Copy WHENEXISTS argument is now respected when extracting from zip archives.
When copying files, the replace dialog now re-opens relative to its previous top/right position, so that the mouse doesn't need to move to find the same button from one file to the next.
Fixed problem with folder sizes in infotips which could leave a partially calculated size behind if the initial calculation was aborted.
The Locate toolbar button in the Customize / Keys dialog will now flash the exact button the hotkey comes from rather than just the toolbar (and will expand sub-menus to make it visible, if needed).
If tree path highlighting is on and set to use the configured tab color, it now updates in real time when the tab color is changed.
Ctrl-S (to save a preset) now works in the rename dialog even when the script editor has focus.
The Go OPENCONTAINER command now works correctly in conjunction with the EXISTINGLISTER argument.
Drop-down menu buttons (e.g. those generated by Go FOLDERCONTENT=button) can now be accessed from the keyboard.
When dragging items around on the File Type editor's Context Menu tab, the line indicating where the item would end up could appear one item above or below the actual location.
The image viewer no longer resets the scroll position when moving from one image to another (unless the zoom level is also reset due to Preferences).
The Preferences / File Operations / Double-click on Files / Use internal picture viewer for... option didn't work if the Left double-click event for the Recognized images filetype was undefined. It now defaults to Show if not set but can still be overridden via the filetype editor if needed.
On Windows 8 and 10, the Set Wallpaper command had to be run twice to be effective if the desktop had been set to a solid color. A workaround has been added so this is no longer the case.
Improved Lister resizing performance when resizing from top/left of Windows when composition is enabled.
Setting labels on files in library paths always saved the label to the config, ignoring the "save to NTFS" flag.
Fixed problem where labeled folders would lose their labels in the folder tree when moved/copied (until a tree refresh).

NATICK, Mass. -- Before a series of late-winter nor'easters covered New England with heavy snow, a small group of Human Research Volunteer Soldiers from the U.S Army's Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center, or NSRDEC, practiced their land navigation skills in the woodlands of nearby Fort Devens, Massachusetts.
During their voluntary, 90 day assignment to NSRDEC, Human Research Volunteer, or HRV, Soldiers spend the majority of their time supporting Army scientists and engineers with human performance-based research inside NSRDEC's unique research facilities and laboratories where they test everything from new ruck sacks and prototype ration technologies, to virtual reality-based training platforms.
Essentially, the primary function of an HRV Soldier is to be the human in the Army's human performance focused research. It's an indispensable role within a growing and pivotal field of research that is laying the groundwork to modernize the Army's greatest asset -- the individual Soldier.
Yet, as newly trained Soldiers, the fundamental combat skills they learned in basic and advanced individual training can rapidly diminish if not performed regularly. To maintain their combat readiness while serving the Army S&T community, NSRDEC's non-commissioned officers responsible for their daily supervision began incorporating a field training regimen into the HRV schedule with the first group of young Soldiers to arrive in FY2018.
"It's important for HRV Soldiers to be proficient in the basic Soldier skills they'll be using when they leave Natick and get to their first units" said Staff Sergeant Anthony Sandoval, the Operations NCO for NSRDEC's Headquarters Research and Development Detachment. "Part of our job as NCOs is to make sure they're ready."
To accomplish this, Sandoval's team of NCOs developed and implemented a condensed field and weapons training program around the HRVs busy schedules supporting NSRDEC research studies designed to brush up on their land navigation and marksmanship skills.
"These are critical skills for all Soldiers to have, but especially this group of HRVs because they are all 11 Bravo's [Military Occupational Specialty 11-B - Infantry] including two female Infantry Soldiers," said Sandoval. "Every Soldier needs to practice repeatedly for these maneuvers become second nature."
NSRDEC's NCOs made sure the field training didn't conflict with the HRV's obligations as research subjects.
"We started with classroom sessions for basic and advanced land navigation before bringing them out to the [Land Navigation] course at Fort Devens," said Sergeant Andrew Cochran, HRDD platoon sergeant. "We are retraining them on the M-4 rifle/carbine and crew-served weapons to maintain their marksmanship skills."
"We also arranged for them to get some time on the EST [Engagement Skills Trainer] when it's not being used for research purposes," said Cochran.
As they help Army scientists' research and develop future Soldier performance capabilities, HRV Soldiers are honing their own lethality. And it's the NSRDEC's NCOs who make it happen.

text: If the traditional counsels of faith concerning human work are not also brought to the economic structures which both create work and cause worklessness, those glowing and cautionary precepts are likely to take on a ghostly quality. Traditioned people may continue to write, preach, and career counsel in terms of personal and communal meanings of work. Others, with an equal show of right, may line up with whoever is lining up for more jobs, wages, or benefits. But all this can take place while economic structures themselves become such as render classical theological distinctions between work, action, and contemplation—or between the one call and the many callings—simply less and less applicable. Some judge that this is now the case.

How do I know what level I should try?
Call us on 1300 739 483, or email via our contact form. We will chat with you about your prior training, if any. That information, combined with the time since you’ve attended regular classes, will help us to suggest a suitable level. We always recommend that students returning to ballet classes start with a very moderate level. This helps to ease the body back into classical technique, whilst refreshing the “ballet brain”.
From your phone call or email, we’ll ascertain your best class to try and we will register you. We will help you to prepare for your first class by advising what to wear, what to bring, where to park, etc. Your teacher will be expecting you and you will be warmly welcomed!
I didn’t study ballet as a child. Can I still join?
Yes! If you have no prior ballet experience then Entry Level 1 is the ideal class for you. We commence new EL1 classes at the beginning of each term. Students must start at the beginning of term so as not to miss valuable content in the early weeks. During term we welcome enquiries and waitlist students for the following EL1 intake. Waitlisted students will be given priority of placement in new EL1 classes.
Are men welcome in the school?
Absolutely! Elancé welcomes men wishing to explore or return to classical ballet training. Male students can enrol in any level-appropriate class.
Are classes casual or term-based?
The majority of Elancé students enroll by term. Elancé term dates are unique. Four terms, each of 12 weeks duration, run “back to back” from January to December. New students with prior ballet experience are welcome to start at any time during term and fees will be adjusted according to the week of commencement. Dance cards are available to students from EL5 to PL6 who are unable to attend on a term basis.
There are several fee options available to students. These are discussed with you at the point of your enquiry.
Elancé does not assume a level of fitness prior to commencing classes. You will be placed in an appropriate class and your fitness will gradually increase over time.
What if I don’t have a ‘dancer’s body’?
Providing you are in sound health, the body you have is all you need!
Elancé is relaxed about individual’s choice of dancewear. Some students elect to wear aerobics-style workout gear whilst others choose traditional ballet wear. Ballet shoes are required. We do suggest that fitted clothing is more suitable in order that the teacher can better see body line and position. Long hair is required to be secured away from the face. Our experience has been that as students begin to think of themselves as dancers, they prefer the more traditional ballet wear.
Appropriate clothing (including layers that can be removed as the body temperature increases) water bottle, sweat towel, ballet shoes, focus and enthusiasm!
Will I have to wear pointe shoes?
No, there is no pointe work involved in the training.
No. All classes at Elancé are ‘open’ classes.
Do I have to do performances?
No, Elancé does not conduct end-of-year productions. In classes, we train technique and artistry in equal measure. Technique is simply the framework to support the dance!

With all the companies offering to host your website, you might not find it all that simple to decide which one is the best for your requirements and thus you will have to do some exhaustive research with regard to finding the best internet web site hosting services. Things to look out for include reliability, pricing, speed, software as well as bandwidth/disk space and finally, support and/or security.
You can master internet marketing from the bottom-line basics to the latest advanced secrets. GVO Academy and its incredible team of instructors will coach you right at your computer through live workshops, streaming videos, and Q&A sessions. This training is FREE with your GVO Titanium Hosting Account.
Also, you need to be sure in your mind as to what kind of internet web site hosting services are available and then decide as to which features are most suitable for your needs. Basically, internet web site hosting services use the client architecture as well as hosting in order to load content on to a server which will then allow your website’s pages as well as other important data to be shown online in the form of HTML.
To a beginner, learning about internet web site hosting services can often seem to be a very daunting task. Although, after studying the available information pertaining to what internet web site hosting services are, it will become a lot simpler to choose the right kind of web hosting service provider.
The first thing that you need to consider when evaluating various kinds of internet web site hosting services companies is the reputation and also the reliability of the web hosting company. With thousands of such companies, this can also prove to be not so easy to achieve. However, if you expend a little effort, you will be rewarded by being able to locate a suitable internet web site hosting services company and in any case, it is better to opt for one that has a few years of solid experience in this field.
The second most important thing that you need to look for when evaluating internet web site hosting services is the amount of storage space that you get. This often starts off from hundred KB and max out at two GB and above. Obviously, you need to have just enough space to meet all of your website’s requirements and no more.
After determining how much storage space you need, you should then turn your attention to bandwidth space offered by the internet web site hosting services company. This is important because it helps in getting your website ranked high on search engine rankings pages.
Lastly, you need to look at the level of support – both offline and online that the internet web site hosting services company provides and here again, you need to choose a company that is always available 24x7x365. If you ensure that these points are adequately addressed by the company offering internet web site hosting services, you will be able to enjoy using your website and your internet marketing will become more successful.

WASHINGTON  Hawai'i would receive at least $358 million for military projects next year under the defense authorization bills that passed the House and Senate yesterday.
The state would get at least $311 million for military facilities and construction and $46 million for research and development, including money to buy land and enhance Schofield Barracks and Hickam Air Force Base for a planned Stryker Brigade Combat Team. Another $17 million would go for the Saddle Road realignment project on the Big Island.
While Hawai'i lawmakers welcomed the money as important to the state's economy, they were disappointed with House language that would give the Defense Department more flexibility to get around the Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act for training exercises.
The Senate version, with the help of Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawai'i, allows the military to develop its own management plan as long as threatened or endangered species are adequately protected.
President Bush asked Congress to exempt the military from several environmental laws to preserve training and readiness. The Pentagon has told Congress that federal critical habitat plans to save animals and plants  including some in Hawai'i  complicate military training.
But environmentalists, and several Democrats, accused the military of exaggerating these claims to avoid the law. The military can now obtain exemptions to environmental law during wartime or for national security reasons.
Akaka and Sen. Dan Inouye, D-Hawai'i, voted for the Senate version. Rep. Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawai'i, voted for the House version, although he said "anti-environmental Republicans have hijacked this legislation to weaken" environmental law.
Rep. Ed Case, D-Hawai'i, said he could not vote for the bill despite his support for the military and the projects in Hawai'i.
"The fact is that the Defense Department in Washington, D.C., simply got greedy," he said. "Citing heightened national defense needs, with which we all agree, it seized the opportunity to avoid compliance with some of the most foresighted laws of the last decades."
House and Senate negotiators will meet to settle differences between the two versions before voting on a final bill and sending it to President Bush. The legislation only authorizes the money; lawmakers still have to approve spending it later this year.
A Stryker brigade, with 300 Stryker vehicles and 3,600 soldiers, could eventually bring $693 million in construction to the Islands. The brigade, part of the Army's transformation to a faster, more agile force, would form out of the 25th Infantry Division (Light) based at Schofield Barracks. Hickam Air Force Base would be expanded for additional C-17 aircraft that could transport the Stryker vehicles.
The Pentagon, however, has not made a final decision to pay for a Hawai'i brigade.

After months of hard work from contractors, staff and volunteers the interior of the Middle Wallop based Museum has been transformed into a fully equipped 21st century attraction.
Visitors can now see the enormous difference that has been created since the Museum’s closure in November 2018, which includes new aircraft, new exhibits, better lighting, a whole host of interactive and exciting audio visual displays.
The funding for the re-development plan, called Project Eagle, came from a Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) grant made possible by money raised by National Lottery players, and was matched by a further £900,000 raised by the Museum itself, bringing the total project costs to nearly £3 million.
The project focused on the expansion and modernisation of the Museum’s archive which contains a matchless record of Army flying exploits, and a complete update and reinterpretation of its unique collection.
The AFM is the only museum in the world dedicated to telling the internationally significant story of British Army flying. The museum’s unique location allows visitors to see Army aircraft in action, and tells stories of famous operations, from daring glider landings at Pegasus Bridge in Normandy on the eve of D-Day to operations in Suez, Sierra Leone, Northern Ireland, the Falklands, Iraq and Afghanistan.
• Two aircraft brought out of store and on display for the first time (Islander and A109).
• Around 180 new information panels featuring hundreds of never seen before pictures from the Museum’s archives.
• New interactives (2 installed; 2 on the way).
• Four new oral history sound stores.
• 7 Touch-sensitive screens to find out more about aircraft, training and Middle Wallop airfield during World War Two.
• 2 New audio-visual presentations featuring film from the archives included in the displays.
• More artefacts brought out from stores being featured in the displays.
• New look Explorer’s World for kids, featuring dressing up station, soft play area and ball pit.
• Two new dressing up stations (bringing the total up to three).
• Refurbished Education Centre to enhance the Museum’s STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) offering to schools.

The Cottbus World Cup is currently being held in Germany. The last two days have been qualification competitions for all the different events for men and women. There is a significant Indian representation at the competition, where top gymnasts from the country like Dipa Karmakar and Aruna Reddy on the women’s side and Rakesh Patra and Ashish Kumar on the men’s side, plan to compete.
The field for the World Cup is more competitive than ever before, considering the new FIG rules that now allow gymnasts to fight for an Olympic spot via the Apparatus World Cup route, of which Cottbus is the first one.
During the qualification round, Dipa Karmakar successfully performed her two vaults and comfortably qualified for finals in sixth place. The others put in their top efforts, with Rakesh Patra performing rings, but was unable to qualify finishing in 14th place on the event. Ashish Kumar performed floor but ended up only in 24th place.
Unfortunately, Aruna Reddy attempted her new vault but it did not go as planned and she injured herself on the first vault, and as a result could not complete the competition.
The second day of qualifications included beam for Dipa Karmakar and Parallel Bars for Rakesh Patra and vault for Ashish Kumar. Despite giving their best none of the athletes made the finals for their respective events.
Today, was the Vault final for women, where the pressure was on for Dipa Karmakar to medal. She did not disappoint and performed her two vaults with ease landing her a 14.316 average which was enough to win the bronze medal. This means Dipa is now awarded with 20 points to add to her Olympic Qualifications points chart, in order to make it to the Olympics.
We are extremely proud and ecstatic for Dipa and we hope she continues the success for the competitions to come!

In this part of the SQLAlchemy tutorial, we cover the SQLAlchemy's Object Relational Mapper.
Another problem is what we call the object-relational impedance mismatch. It is a set of conceptual and technical difficulties that are often encountered when a relational database management system is being used by a program written in an object-oriented programming language or style. In Python, we work with data that are placed within objects. In database systems the data is stored in tables. The programmers need to do conversions between the two ways of handling data. This is something that is not related to the core problems of our applications.
One of the solutions is object-relational mapping. ORM tools address the above mentioned issues. There are several ORM tools for the Python language. The SQLAlchemy is one of the most widely used ones.
The SQLAlchemy Object Relational Mapper maps (a) user-defined Python classes to database tables, (b) table rows to instance objects, and (c) columns to instance attributes. The SQLAlchemy ORM is built on the SQLAlchemy Expression Language.
When using ORM, we first configure database tables that we will be using. Then we define classes that will be mapped to them. Modern SQLAlchemy uses Declarative system to do these tasks. A declarative base class is created, which maintains a catalog of classes and tables. A declarative base class is created with the declarative_base() function.
After we have done the configurations, we create a session. A Session is the primary interface for persistence operations in the SQLAlchemy ORM. It establishes and maintains all conversations between our program and the database.
The following program creates a table in memory and then prints the data to the console.
Eight cars are created in the Cars table.
A declarative base class is created with the declarative_base() function.
The user-defined Car class is mapped to the Cars table. The class inherits from the declarative base class.
The declarative Base is bound to the database engine.
The create_all() method creates all configured tables; in our case, there is only one table.
A session object is created.
With the add_all() method, we add the specified instances of Car classes to the session.
The changes are committed to the database with the commit() method.
We query for all data from the Cars table. The query() method loads all instances of the Car class and its all() method returns all results represented by the query as a list.
We iterate through the result set and print two columns for all returned rows.
In the next example, we add a single car to the Cars table.
The script connects to the SQLite database and adds a new row to the Cars table.
We connect to the SQLite test.db database.
The mapping of the user-defined class to the database table is performed.
The session object, which is ORM's intermediary to the database, is created.
A new instance of a mapped Car class is created.
The add() method adds the new object to the session.
The changes are committed to the database.
We verify that the new car was successfully added to the database.
The session query's filter() method is used to apply a filter criterion on the query object.
The example prints cars whose names end in 'en' string.
The filter() method takes a filtering criterion, which is an SQL expression object. The criterion is created with the like() method.
There are two cars in the table that end in 'en' string.
The in_() method implements the SQL IN operator.
The code example selects and prints columns for rows with Ids chosen by the SQL IN operator.
The filtering criterion is created by the in_() method. The method takes a list of Ids.
In the last example, we deal with a relationship between two tables. A foreign key is established.
We have Author and Book classes which are mapped to the Authors and Books database tables. (The SQL to create the tables is listed in the first chapter). A foreign key constraint is implemented between the two tables. A foreign key is defined by the ForeignKey type and the relationship() function.
A one to many relationship is built between the two classes. The first argument of the relationship() function is the name of a class we build the relationship with. As a result, the author object will have a Books attribute.
The AuthorId of the Book class is a foreign key. It is defined by the ForeignKey type. It references the AuthorId column in the Authors table.
This line creates an Author attribute for the Book class.
In this query, we get all books written by Leo Tolstoy. The filter() method applies a filtering criterion on the query. The first() method gets the author object.
We go through the result set and print all the retrieved books. The Books attribute was created with the relationship() function.
This query returns the author of the Emma title. The query returns the book object, which has a built-in Author attribute.

Tottenham forward,Harry Kane, opening goal in today’s Boxing Day fixture between Spurs and Southampton has seen him break Alan Shearer’s 23 year-old Premier League record for goals in a calendar year.
Kane’s 22nd minute strike at the Wembley, was Tottenham’s first goal in a 5:2 win offer struggling Saints. It was the 37th time the forward has found the net in 2017, an unprecedented feat in the history of the Premier League. In Spurs last Premier League fixture against Burnley, the 24 year old had scored a hat trick moving ahead of Robin Van Persie(35 league goals in 2011) and equaling Shearer’s tally of 36 league goal scored while he was playing for Blackburn in 1995. With his strike,today, he is now the sole owner of the record and the second consecutive Englishman to attain the milestone.
The England forward who got a second goal in the 67th minute of the game, equally moved ahead of Barcelona’s marksman Lionel Messi as the most prolific goalscorer across Europe top five leagues in 2017.
Kane tally stands at 38 league goals in 2017 and 55 goals overall for Spurs and England. Messi, with 54 for Barca and Argentina, now finds himself a goal short and he will not be able to make amends this year as the Spanish La Liga will not restart till 2018.
According to Opta, Kane has netted 48 club goals across all competitions in 2017, with only Paris Saint-Germain’s Edinson Cavani and Messi — who have 50 each — having more among players within the major five European leagues.
In Spurs’ last Premier League outing on Dec. 23, Kane scored a hat trick in the 3-0 win against Burnley, his seventh treble of 2017.
After that game Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino said he is running out of words to praise Kane.
“I have to congratulate Harry, 36 goals, he has the same record that Alan achieved,” Pochettino said. “He is such an important player. I always praise him during three-and-a-half years in charge because not only with goals, but with his attitude, professionalism, ethics, how we works on the pitch is fantastic.
