Django + SQLAlchemy + jQuery
Every new day is a good day to start studying new things and that is why I have just started a new personal project with the purpose of going inside of the Django Web Framework[0], SQLAlchemy Toolkit[1] and, for sure, jQuery[2] Library.
I have put the project on GitHub[3] and anyone can follow the project easily.
Just go on http://github.com/agassner/schoolweb/
See you on new commits!

Discipline + Emotion
Studying Technical Analysis for a long time, I have been always questioning myself about a simple word: Discipline.
According to the dictionary Discipline is:
“1. The practice of making people obey rules or standards of behaviour, and punishing them when they do not.”
“2. The quality of being able to behave and work in a controlled way which involves obeying particular rules or standards.”
So simple and so difficult when involving emotion.
Technical Analysis, initially, seems to be simple and direct but extremely difficult if you are not emotionally well prepared and disciplined. Investing money is not a game and definitely not gambling to enjoy the emotion of playing.
See you disciplined!
PS: The next book of my list is “The Way of the Warrior-Trader: The Financial Risk-Taker’s Guide to Samurai Courage, Confidence and Discipline” – Richard D. McCall
PS2: Discipline at Wikipedia.

An Italian “Family Guy” + Monty Python
Being studied English with some Italians, this stereotype is quite funny.

A tribute of the people who don’t like to take a shower.
This little rat is from a children TV program in Brazil in the 90s. The TV program is called Castelo Rá-tim-bum.
The music is in Portuguese.

The country of the future?
I read an article in The Guardian newspaper which said that Brazil is the country of the future.
First, the phrase “Brazil is the country of the future” I already knew because when my austrian grandfather went to Brazil in the fifties, Brazil had been nominated the country of the future. This article said “…South America’s sleeping giant is finally waking up…”. In my opinion Brazil could be the country of the future if some measures (mainly social and educational) would be taken and I really think its a long way.
I found another article and I think it’s more realistic. There is a good explanation about what happened and is still happening in Brazil.
Charles Andrews wrote at the end of the article:
“Brazil is a beautiful country blessed with vast natural resources, a true democracy and a vibrant people knocking on the door for admission to the first rank of international powers. The downside is seen in endemic corruption, an unwieldy political structure, an over-sized bureaucracy with well-meant but impractical and unfunded pension rights, a plethora of costly and unenforceable regulation and perhaps a widening gap between the very rich and the very poor. Relations with the U.S. are adequate but not as good as they should be.“
Maybe this phrase, mentioned in this article as a joke, “Brazil is the country of the future – and always will be!” it’s not a joke, it’s a pure reality.
See you in the future!

We have to love our beautiful Brazil!
At the moment I’m away from my beautiful Brazil. This is the first time I’m away from my country for a long time. I’m studying English in an English speaking country. It is almost three months since I left home and I miss everything about my country. When I left home I didn’t know that I would miss so many things. I think it is normal to miss family, friends and pets but I miss many other things as well, mostly those things that are the best Brazil has to offer.
First is the food. Sorry to French and Italian people, but we have the best food in the world. We have all of the best ingredients and we can prepare all kinds of food. We have food from all countries. One thing I can’t forget is our delicious meat. Our barbecue is the best!
Second is the weather (including our beautiful beaches). Do you have any doubt? Click here and check the weather.
Third are the friendly, affectionate and warm Brazilian people.
In my opinion every Brazilian, if it is possible, should visit or live temporarily in another, theoretically, better country to prove that our country is the best place to live.
See you!

Yes! It’s true!
That’s my first post. I have nothing interesting to write for today.
But I have one thing to write before I finish this post… “Matt Damon” (see Team America)
See you!
