This document provides an overview of key concepts related to database management systems and the relational model. It defines what a DBMS is and lists common applications.

Concepts covered include the three levels of data abstraction in a DBMS, the difference between schemas and instances, and data models. The document also provides definitions and explanations of core relational model concepts such as relations, tuples, attributes, domains, keys, and relational algebra operations.
The document provides tips for summer safety including wearing sunscreen to prevent sunburns, applying bug spray to prevent mosquito bites, and avoiding poison ivy which can cause itchy rashes. Sunburns hurt and turn the skin red, so aloe should be used if sunburned. Bug spray should be applied to arms, legs, and bodies to avoid mosquito bites. Poison ivy has three leaves and causes very itchy skin, so it's important not to scratch if exposed and tell a grown up. Lotion can help poison ivy feel better but hands should be washed after applying and not scratching the area.
The document summarizes basic grammar points taught in Unit 1 including:
1) Personal pronouns, articles "a/an", "the", and demonstrative pronouns "this/it" and "these/they".
2) Possessive adjectives.

4) Questions using interrogative words like what, where, when, how and responses.

The document discusses how ideas evolve gradually and through interaction with others rather than from isolated "eureka moments." Several examples are given of discoveries and inventions that resulted from happy accidents or bringing together different fields of knowledge. Creativity benefits from open exchange of ideas in social settings like coffee houses and salons that historically nurtured intellectual communities in London and Paris.

Celebration of Pedestrian Access & Safety Model Project
Oakland, CA – Senior, disabled and student pedestrian
access and safety have been greatly improved at the busy

focused attention of Mayor Quan’s Pedestrian Access and
Safety Task Force, Oakland’s Americans with Disabilities
Act Programs Division, and the Public Works Agency’s
Department of Engineering & Construction. This
“Neighborhood Streets Safety” project leveraged limited
City street and sidewalk improvement resources to address
the priorities of pedestrians that frequent this intersection.
As part of the Office of Parks and Recreation’s Unity in the
Community celebration on Saturday, June 25, 2011, the
Neighborhood Streets Safety collaborators will hold a
ribbon-cutting ceremony and press conference to celebrate
the greatly improved four-block area.

Not once in all these years I have dealt with your department have I ever

Yes we out here may have complained about the turn around on our

When they were towed after ample warning by you folks. But the

Street Improvement Project
Your expert advice and assistance in pulling together internal
resources and creating publicity for the project was
invaluable. We were extremely demanding and that the
schedule was very tight but you consistently kept to a “can
do” approach—and we did do it! The many community
members in attendance were very impressed with the
ribbon cutting event. (Darn that train wreck for getting in
the way of a good news story!)
