Object Relationship Notation (ORN) for Database Applications

Object Relationship Notation (ORN) for Database Applications

Bryon K. Ehlmann

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2009
sidottu
Conceptually, a database consists of objects and relationships. Object Relationship Notation (ORN) is a simple notation that more precisely defines relationships by combining UML multiplicities with uniquely defined referential actions. This book shows how ORN can be used in UML class diagrams and database definition languages (DDLs) to better model and implement relationships and thus more productively develop database applications. For the database developer, it presents many examples of relationships modeled using ORN-extended class diagrams and shows how these relationships are easily mapped to an ORN-extended SQL or Object DDL. For the DBMS developer, it presents the specifications and algorithms needed to implement ORN in a relational and object DBMS. This book also describes tools that can be downloaded or accessed via the Web. These tools allow databases to be modeled using ORN and implemented using automatic code generation that adds ORN support to Microsoft SQL Server and Progress Object Store. Object Relationship Notation (ORN) for Database Applications: Enhancing the Modeling and Implementation of Associations is written for research scientists, research libraries, professionals, and advanced-level students in computer science.

For the first time, Bryony Lavery's plays back in print in one volume Includes the plays Her Aching Heart, Nothing Compares to You, The Two Marias and Origin of the Species. Her Aching Heart is "a deliciously irreverent parody of the historical romance, better known as the bonk-buster...Georgette Heyer never wrote anything quite like it, however and Barbara Cartland would be more than confused by this lesbian romance...hilarious" (Guardian); Nothing Compares to You is an evocation of a woman experiencing the loss of a loved one in the aftermath of a car accident "The characters may be touched by death but laughter is never far away...A haunting show of hidden depth" (Birmingham Post); "In Bryony Lavery's quirky Origin of the Species, an ardent archaeologist digging for prehistoric man finds instead a four-million-year old woman...a telling allegory of the loss of innocence...Lavery's wit and imagination are unquestionably present." (Obersver)Introduced by the author, Bryony Lavery's last play Goliath (adapted from Bea Campbell's book) was a hit at the Bush Theatre in 1997. Bryony Lavery is one of Britain's foremost female playwrights.

Using Arthritis Against Itself

You have to ask the right question to get the right answer. Arthritis sucks. Being diagnosed with arthritis sucks. Being in pain 24/7 sucks. Being told you'll have to live with that pain for the rest of your life sucks even more. When Brydon Davidson suddenly developed arthritis as a fit, active, and healthy 35-year-old, it turned his life upside down. Told by experts that his arthritis and his pain were now permanent and life-long, this was not a future he was going to accept. Focusing on three areas of life - mind, body, and support network - Brydon set about strategically experimenting on himself to try to find a way to rid himself of his pain, and hopefully his arthritis entirely. Using Arthritis Against Itself traces Brydon's three years of experimentation with psychology, medicine, and mythology to his ultimate success of becoming pain-free - and arthritis-free. Giving hope to others that a pain-free, arthritis-free life is possible, Using Arthritis Against Itself is full of useful tips and tricks for anyone experiencing arthritis or other autoimmune disorders
Rebel Speak

Rebel Speak

University of California Press

sidottu
A literary mixtape of transformative dialogues on justice with a cast of visionary rebel activists, organizers, artists, culture workers, thought leaders, and movement builders.Rebel Speak sounds the alarm for a global movement to end systemic injustice led by people doing the day-to-day rebel work in the prison capital of the world. Prison activist, artist, and scholar Bryonn Rolly Bain brings us transformative oral history ciphers, rooted in the tradition of call-and-response, to lay bare the struggle and sacrifice on the front lines of the fight to abolish the prison industrial complex.Rebel Speak investigates the motives that inspire and sustain movements for visionary change. Sparked by a life-changing interview with working-class heroes Dolores Huerta and Harry Belafonte, Bryonn invites us to join conversations with change-makers whose diverse critical perspectives and firsthand accounts expose the crisis of prisons and policing in our communities. Through dialogues with activists including Albert Woodfox, founder of the first Black Panther Party prison chapter, and Susan Burton, founder of Los Angeles's A New Way of Life Reentry Project; a conversation with a warden pushing beyond traditions at Sing Sing Correctional Facility; and an intimate exchange with his brother returning from prison, Bryonn reveals countless unseen spaces of the movement to end human caging. Sampling his provocative sessions with influential artists and culture workers, like Public Enemy leader Chuck D and radical feminist MC Maya Jupiter, Bryonn opens up and guides discussions about the power of art and activism to build solidarity across disciplines and demand justice.With raw insight and radical introspection, Rebel Speak embodies the growing call for "credible messengers" on prisons, policing, racial justice, abolitionist politics, and transformative organizing. Reimagining the role of the writer and scholar as a DJ and MC, Bryonn moves the crowd with this unforgettable mix of those working within the belly of the beast to change the world. This is a new century's sound of movement-building and Rebel Speak.
Modernism, Daily Time and Everyday Life

Modernism, Daily Time and Everyday Life

Bryony Randall

Cambridge University Press
2011
pokkari
Bryony Randall explores the twin concepts of daily time and of everyday life through the writing of several major modernist authors. The book begins with a contextualising chapter on the psychologists William James and Henri Bergson. It goes on to devote chapters to Dorothy Richardson, Gertrude Stein, H. D. and Virginia Woolf. These experimental writers, she argues, reveal everyday life and daily time as rich and strange, not simply a banal backdrop to more important events. Moreover, Randall argues that paying attention to the everyday and daily time can be politically empowering and subversive. The specific social and cultural context of the early twentieth century is one in which the concept of daily time is particularly strongly challenged. By examining Modernism's engagement with or manifestation of this notion of daily time, she reveals a highly original perspective on their concerns and complexities.

Well known English/ Australian entertainers, Patti and Dennis Price, are contracted to appear at the popular La Boit, in Limassol on the island of Cyprus. Their contract in this internationally famous tourist mecca is exended and they invite their beautiful daughter, Tianne, to join them from London where she has been studying to be an actress. Tianne meets the handsome and charasmaic, Rashid, a fellow actor and model who claims to come from Iran, is also an Islamic freedom fighter with strong ties to the PLO. They fall in love and marry in Athens despite Rashid already being married with a family. But being a Muslim he claims his marriage is over and he can have more than one wife but the other compelling reason is that Rashid doesn't have a passport and he desperately wants to get into Australia and can now travel on his new wife's passport. However the marriage becomes very stormy after only a few months with many episodes of domestic violence. After they settle in Australia, Tianne decides to leave Rashid but as he is very jealous and controlling this is not easy for her. Eventually, Tianne's battered and strangled body is discovered on a Gold Coast golf course and a murder warrant is issued for Rashid and he is arrested in Melbourne attempting to flee Austalia under a false name. He is extradited to Brisbane and the ensuing investigation and court cases make Australian legal history. Not in the Public Interest is an intriguing new theory based on a true story as recalled by Tianne's mother, Patti, in her struggle to bring her daughter's murderer to justice but it appears that hidden forces are at work to prevent this from happening.
