Se habla español (Spanish Edition)





Se habla español smells like french fries, tastes like Coca-Cola and hamburgers, but it also has the flavor of nachos and salsa, and of mango-guava smoothies. This collection of short stories reflects the Latin American experience in the United States. These are works by 36 young writers who entered the literary world during the ’90s with a style described as serious, yet irreverent. Edited by Edmu ndo Paz Soldán and Alberto Fuguet, it explores the space occupied by the United States within the Latin American cultural imagery. It illustrates the contradictions presented by the dream of material progress and the nightmare of ruthless capitalism, and the fulfillment of all desires over the mirage of a never- attainable promise.

Blurb in Spanish: Se habla español tiene el aroma de french fries, el sabor a Coca-Cola y hamburguesas, pero también a nachos y salsa, a cortaditos y smoothies de mango-guayaba. Esta colección de cuentos muestra la experiencia latinoamericana en Estados Unidos. Son piezas escritas por 36 autores jóvenes que irrumpieron en el mundo literario de los años noventa, con una propuesta se ria pero irreverente. El libro, compilado por Edmundo Paz Soldán y Alberto Fuguet, explora el lugar que ocupa Estados Unidos en el imaginario cultural latinoamericano. Asimismo, ilustra las contradicciones del sueño del progreso material y la pesadilla del capitalismo salvaje, y cuestiona la satisfacción de los deseos a la luz del espejismo de una promesa que no cesa de alejarse.

A few nice International images I found:

Cumulonimbus Cloud Over Africa (NASA, International Space Station Science, 02/05/08)




Image by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center

Editor's Note: Due to popular demand, I'm going to start uploading high-rez versions of the Earth images, unless Flickr Pro gets too full. :)

Cumulonimbus Cloud over Africa is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 16 crewmember on the International Space Station. Deemed by many meteorologists as one of the most impressive of cloud formations, cumulonimbus (from the Latin for "puffy" and "dark") clouds form due to vigorous convection of warm and moist unstable air. Surface air warmed by the Sun-heated ground surface rises, and if sufficient atmospheric moisture is present, water droplets will condense as the air mass encounters cooler air at higher altitudes. The air mass itself also expands and cools as it rises due to decreasing atmospheric pressure, a process known as adiabatic cooling. This type of convection is common in tropical latitudes year-round and during the summer season at higher latitudes. As water in the rising air mass condenses and changes from a gaseous to a liquid state, it releases energy to its surroundings, further heating the surrounding air and leading to more convection and rising of the cloud mass to higher altitudes. This leads to the characteristic vertical "towers" associated with cumulonimbus clouds, an excellent example of which is visible in this image (right). If enough moisture is present to condense and continue heating the cloud mass through several convective cycles, a tower can rise to altitudes of approximately 10 kilometers at high latitudes to 20 kilometers in the tropics -- before encountering a region of the atmosphere known as the tropopause. The tropopause is characterized by a strong temperature inversion where the atmosphere is dryer and no longer cools with altitude. This halts further vertical motion of the cloud mass, and causes flattening and spreading of the cloud tops into an anvil-shaped cloud as illustrated by this oblique photograph. The view direction is at an angle from the vertical, rather than straight "down" towards the Earth's surface. The image, photographed while the International Space Station was passing over western Africa near the Senegal-Mali border, shows a f ully-formed anvil cloud with numerous smaller cumulonimbus towers rising near it. The high energetics of these storm systems typically make them hazardous due to associated heavy precipitation, lightning, high wind speeds and possible tornadoes.

Endeavour Over Tasman Sea, Australia (NASA, International Space Station Science, 02/19/10)




Image by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center

The space shuttle Endeavour is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 22 crew member on the International Space Station soon after the shuttle and station began their post-undocking relative separation. Undocking of the two spacecraft occurred at 7:54 p.m. (EST) on Feb. 19, 2010. Below the orbiter is the Tasman Sea coast of New South Wales, Australia from Jervis Bay (between the two peninsulas on the left of the image) to the city of Eden.

Family Therapy: Concepts and Methods, 9th Edition

Family Therapy: Concepts & Methods is the definitive, classic in the field and covers all the major schools and developments in Family Therapy.

 

Just some of the features that make this book so widely used -

• Brief biographies and photos of some of the leading family therapists of the twentieth century 
• Extensive coverage of professional ethics, reflecting the need for students to have increased awareness of professional issues in family therapy
• Unique issues family therapists encounter when providing home-based services
  Latest research and data - often before th at research is published in other forums

 

The Ninth Editon continues this tradition with many exciting revisions including:

• several new case studies
• a new summary of major theoretical concepts
• a new section on working with common forms of family trianges
• new sections on Sex and the Internet and Neuroscience and Relationships
• and much more!

 From the Preface -

"One thing that tends to get lost in academic discussions of family therapy is the feeling of accomplishment that comes from sitting down with an unhappy family and being able to help them. Beginning therapists are understandably anxious and not sure they’ll know how to proceed. (“How do you get all of themto come in?”) Veterans often speak in abstractions. They have opinions and discuss big issuesâ€"postmodernism, narrative reconstructionism, second-order cybernetics. While it’s tempting to use this space to say Important Things, I prefer to be a little more personal. Treating troubled families has given me the greatest satisfaction imaginable, and I hope that the same is or will be true for you."

Question by B: What is the relationship of the database development process to the information systems development process?

Can you help me?

So far I have, "The goal of the database development process is to produce an operational database for an information system." Is this true?

So far I have read that the Information systems development process includes phases of implementing an operational database.

But I don't know how that relates to the Database Development Process as a relationship between the two.

Please help!




Best answer:

Answer by Steven
Are you taking BUS173 by any chance ;-)

The database development process is an important part of the information systems development process. The database development process produces the data model that specifies the operational database for the information system. The data model is usually the most important artifact for an information system.
