by Carlos Eduardo de Magalhães
Super-man, Non-man, Carol and The Invisibles - Novel - Marcos is an architect who, as a student, used to write phrases on the walls of his room such as A man must carry his own suitcase and make his own bed. He lives in São Paulo, in the same building as another Marcos, who is a famous actor. They also have Carol's presence in common. Psychologist, she is married to Marcos architect and is the best friend of Marcos actor, with whom she shared an intense adolescence. Early in the evening, the two Marcos confide to a tired Carol about discoveries they had made. One tells her that he has superpowers, is a superman, sure that he started to crystallize after he threw his arm towards a toothbrush holder and saw him fall, without however touching him. The husband, discouraged, defines himself as a non-man, not yet very clear about what that means. In parallel, five excellent high school students who live in poor neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro steal copper wires underground in the city. They call themselves the Invisibles and slide on their skateboards, slang, anger and dreams through the city streets. Such disparate everyday experiences lived in metropolises. The reality and virtual reality of a video game with its impossible to defeat avatar. The memory of events in distant India, which are not known whether invented or real, but lived in any way. The airports and hotel rooms without identity that are the same in all parts of the planet. With contemporary elements, which define and are defined by this complex, contradictory, powerful and fragile man of the century XXI, the book covers three days that will mark the life of each character. Their ideas of being in this world full of walls and phrases and toothbrush holders will be profoundly modified.

Diseases & disordersFebruary 2000Review of the Hanford Thyroid Disease Study Draft Final Report
by Committee on an Assessment of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Radiation Studies from DOE Contractor Sites: Subcommittee to Review the Hanford Thyroid Disease Study Final Results and Report, National Academy of Sciences
In 1986, officials of the US Department of Energy revealed that the Hanford Atomic Products Operations in Richland, Washington, had been releasing radioactive material, in particular iodine-131, into the environment over a period of years. This information, which confirmed the suspicions of some people in the Pacific Northwest about what they called the Hanford Reservation or just Hanford, created quite a stir. Both the US Congress and citizens of the Northwest became keenly interested in knowing whether these radiation releases had caused human health effects. They were particularly concerned about whether Hanford releases of iodine-131 had led to an increase in thyroid disease among the population of the area. In 1988, Congress ordered a study of the human health effects of exposure to the iodine-131 released from Hanford. Funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the study was carried out by the Seattle-based Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center over the last decade. The study examined estimate of exposure of the thyroid and rates of thyroid disease because iodine-131 concentrates in the thyroid and that organ would be the best indicator of radiation damage in the population. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) asked the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council (NAS-NRC) to give an independent appraisal of the study methodology, results, and interpretation and of the communication of the study results to the public. Review of the Hanford Thyroid Disease Study Draft Final Report constitutes the response of the NRC subcommittee to that request. To respond to the charge, the NRC subcommittee felt that it needed to go beyond the specific questions addressed to it by CDC and develop a broad understanding and critique of the HTDS and the Draft Final Report. As part of those activities, the subcommittee solicited comments from outside experts and members of the public primarily in a public meeting held in Spokane, Washington, in June 1999, where 14 scientists and members of the public made formal presentations to the subcommittee about various aspects of the Draft Final Report. Other members of the public also spoke during four open-comment sessions at the meeting. In addition, efforts were made to evaluate all information materials prepared for the public and additional CDC communication plans. Information was gathered through interviews with journalists, members of concerned citizen groups in the Hanford region, members of the CDC scientific and media staff in Atlanta, and the HTDS investigators. In this summary, the main points follow the structure of our report and are presented under several headings: epidemiologic and clinical methods and data collection, dosimetry, statistical analyses, statistical power and interpretation of the study, and communication of the study results to the public. We then provide a brief synopsis of our response to the questions raised by CDC.

October 2013Data Engineering
by Brian Shive
If you found a rusty old lamp on the beach, and upon touching it a genie appeared and granted you three wishes, what would you wish for? If you were wishing for a successful application development effort, most likely you would wish for accurate and robust data models, comprehensive data flow diagrams, and an acute understanding of human behavior. The wish for well-designed conceptual and logical data models means the requirements are well-understood and that the design has been built with flexibility and extensibility leading to high application agility and low maintenance costs. The wish for detailed data flow diagrams means a concrete understanding of the business' value chain exists and is documented. The wish to understand how we think means excellent team dynamics while analyzing, designing, and building the application. Why search the beaches for genie lamps when instead you can read this book? Learn the skills required for modeling, value chain analysis, and team dynamics by following the journey the author and son go through in establishing a profitable summer lemonade business. This business grew from season to season proportionately with their adoption of important engineering principles. All of the concepts and principles are explained in a novel format, so you will learn the important messages while enjoying the story that unfolds within these pages. The story is about an old man who has spent his life designing data models and databases and his newly adopted son. Father and son have a 54 year age difference that produces a large generation gap. The father attempts to narrow the generation gap by having his nine-year-old son earn his entertainment money. The son must run a summer business that turns a lemon grove into profits so he can buy new computers and games. As the son struggles for profits, it becomes increasingly clear that dad's career in information technology can provide critical leverage in achieving success in business. The failures and successes of the son's business over the summers are a microcosm of the ups and downs of many enterprises as they struggle to manage information technology. Brian started his data modeling career in the late 1970s while working as a consultant to the relational database gurus at IBM. Brian learned from John Zachman at IBM how to use the discipline of engineering when designing data. Brian works at Microsoft where during his 18 years he has served as Microsoft Corporate Data Administrator, Enterprise Architecture Lead Information Architect, Principal Architect, Development Manager and most-fun-one Developer. He spent 16 years with Boeing IT. Brian also worked as Solar Energy Designer, Executive of Boy Scouts of America, musician, comedian and poet and janitor. Brian and his wife and two children live in the Seattle area. He teaches Aramaic in his Methodist church and can be seen on YouTube sounding at times like Jimi Hendrix. He is working on a book of poetry and loves teaching data modeling, database design and data integration. The human brain and the behavior it elicits have provided Brian with years of study in neurology, psychology, sociology and history.
