RAD - Rapid Application Development
-is an incremental software development process model that emphasizes an extremely short development cycle.

Activities:
- Business Modeling
- Data Modeling
-Process Modeling
-Application Generation
-Testing and Turnover

Business Modeling
-What information drives the business process?
-What information is generated?
-Who generates it?
-Where does the information go?
-Who processes it?

Data Modeling
-The
information flow defined as part of the business modeling phase is
refined into a set of data objects that are needed to support the
business. The characteristics (called attributes) of each object are
identified and the relationships between these objects defined.

Process Modeling
-The
data objects defined in the data modeling phase are transformed to
achieve the information flow necessary to implement a business
function. Processing descriptions are created for adding, modifying,
deleting, or retrieving a data object.

Application Generation
-RAD
assumes the use of fourth generation techniques. Rather than creating
software using conventional third generation programming languages the
RAD process works to reuse existing program components (when possible)
or create reusable components (when necessary). In all cases, automated
tools are used to facilitate construction of the software.

Testing and Turnover
-Since
the RAD process emphasizes reuse, many of the program components have
already been tested. This reduces overall testing time. However, new
components must be tested and all interfaces must be fully exercised.

RAD Drawbacks
-For large but scalable projects, RAD requires sufficient human resources to create the right number of RAD teams.
-RAD
requires developers and customers who are committed to the rapid-fire
activities necessary to get a system complete in a much abbreviated
time frame. If commitment is lacking from either constituency, RAD
projects will fail.
-Not all types of applications are appropriate
for RAD. If a system cannot be properly modularized, building the
components necessary for RAD will be problematic. If high performance
is an issue and performance is to be achieved through tuning the
interfaces to system components, the RAD approach may not work.
-RAD
is not appropriate when technical risks are high. This occurs when a
new application makes heavy use of new technology or when the new
software requires a high degree of interoperability with existing
computer programs.

Ichigo 100%
is a story of a ordinary boy from mannga who fell in love with the
mystrious girl accidentally  fall infront of him and saw her
strawberry panties.

the story is complete and it has 167 chapters in manga.

Manaka
Junpei, one day goes to the roof of his school to get a beautiful view
of his town. On the roof Junpei encounters a beautiful school girl who
falls on top of him exposing her strawberry panties. The girl runs away
before Junpei can find out her name. Junpei who aspires to become a
filmaker thinks this encounter would be a perfect scene in a movie. So
his search to find this girl begins with only one clue that she wears
strawberry panties.

STROKE: Remember
The 1st Three Letters…. S.T.R.

Sometimes
symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack
of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain
damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S * Ask the individual
to SMILE.

T * Ask the person
to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)

(i.e. It is sunny out today)

R * Ask him or
her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with
ANY ONE of these tasks,
call 999/911 immediately and describe the
symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke ——– Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another ’sign’ of a stroke is this: Ask the person to ’stick’ out
his tongue.. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the
other , that
is also an indication of a stroke.

here is a true to life story of stroke victim:

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone
that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) …..she said she had
just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared
a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening

Ingrid’s husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken
to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke
at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps
Ingrid would be with us today. Some don’t die…. they end up in a helpless,
hopeless condition instead.

It only takes a minute to read this…

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours
he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke… totally . He said
the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting
the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the ‘3′ steps, STR . Read
