Stonewall Inn was the site of the famous Stonewall riots of 1969, which have come to symbolize the beginning of the militant gay liberation movement in the United States. It is located at 53 Christopher Street, between West 4th St. and Waverly Place, in Greenwich Village, New York City. Stonewall is regarded as the single most important event that led to the modern movement for gay and lesbian civil rights.[1]

Ruby on Rails seems to be a lightning rod for controversy. At the heart of most of the controversy lies amazing productivity claims. Crossing Borders author Bruce Tate has come to understand that Rails isn't a better hammer; it's a different kind of tool. This article explores the compromises and design decisions that went into making Rails so productive within its niche. Then it looks at Rails-inspired ideas that should get more attention within the Java™ community.

Two boys growing up in a violent neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro take different paths: one becomes a photographer, the other a drug dealer.
Really good movie about a favela-ish neighborhood in Rio, and the drug trade as an industry there, the culture of youth violence, and a big ass gang war in a hood that has no police. Cidade de Deus (2002) |

Database Design - Introduction |

The first edition of this site was the outgrowth of a previous book project, Practical Relational Database Design, by Wayne Dick and Tom Jewett. The move online featured condensed discussions, an integrated view of database concepts and skills, and use of the Unified Modeling Language in the design process. I’m grateful for the positive response that the site has received so far, both from my own students and from online readers worldwide. The second edition is largely motivated by the very helpful comments of Prof. Alvaro Monge, as well as by my own observations in two semesters of using its predecessor in class. Major changes include the clear separation of UML from its implementation in the relational model, the introduction of relational algebra terminology as an aid to understanding SQL, and an increased emphasis on natural-language understanding of the design.
Nice intro. Database Design - Introduction |
