Esta novela testimonio, trata de llevar a la conciencia de todo hispano residente en los Estados Unidos, as como a los naturales, que tengan la oportunidad de leer esta obra, pueda conocer los sacrificios, por los que tienen que atravesar todo refugiado cubano. Que adems, de enfrentarse a las vicisitudes dentro de su propia patria, antes de abandonarla. Enfrentarse tambin, a un peligro mayor. Y es, la travesa de ese peligroso mar. Gran obstculo que salvar, desde las playas del Mariel, hasta el faro de la esperanza Cayo Hueso.No pudiera decirse, cul de los dos peligros fuera ms grave. Permanecer en Cuba, sufriendo el despotismo de un sistema esclavista y totalitario. Donde el enfrentamiento, es sinnimo de muerte. O navegar hacia la libertad (muchas veces en dbiles embarcaciones) desafiando al mar embravecido.En esta obra, no se trata de englobar nada de lo que es la trama. Son hechos ciertos. Concretos. Vivencias de los personajes que irn apareciendo en el desarrollo de la novela y con los que usted se ir identificando; hasta motivarse progresivamente. Y tal vez, llegar a sentir, las experiencias de cada uno de los personajes.Me siento libre, patriota y adems, martiano. Pero no pretendo que mis palabras hieran susceptibilidades de ninguna ndole, al sealar las injusticias a las que fuimos sometidos.

My Califa's Rehab Rangers booking number is YA-65544; I will never forget it. This is a first-hand narration of growing in the 1980 s and 1990 s around criminally infested streets of Los Diablos County, Califas. This autobiography describes a gang initiation, drug involvement, and twenty years of arrests for various low-level non-violent crimes. It is an adventurous entourage through police precincts and juvenile hall institutions leading to Los Diablos dreadful Twin Titans Corrective Facilities, including Califa s Rehab Rangers. Eventually, we will visit the ever-controversial Immigration and Child Endowments holding camps tossing out legal and illegal immigrants with lifetime deportations ignoring all American-raised families. Part memoir, part inspiration total human institutionalization and dehumanization, uncut. In addition, we will explore human life complexities within today s state-of-the-art prisons and we will see men coping for survival with only their essential necessities to strive. Moreover, questions will abound about our innate free will, that is, are we indeed free from Big Brother? Is the separation of migrant families legal?This story may also serve as an academic reference to our technical legality of incarceration and once inside, what are our constitutions protecting prisoners rights, or should they have any legal protections whatsoever. Indeed, we are forever cognizant that not everything under our sun is a ray of hope for every man; therefore, our daily challenge is to withhold those glorious constitutions that grant us universal liberty of choice. At our day s end, literature is mind s liberty.

Invoke TDD principles for end-to-end application development with JavaAbout This Book• Explore the most popular TDD tools and frameworks and become more proficient in building applications• Create applications with better code design, fewer bugs, and higher test coverage, enabling you to get them to market quickly• Implement test-driven programming methods into your development workflowsWho This Book Is ForIf you''re an experienced Java developer and want to implement more effective methods of programming systems and applications, then this book is for you.What You Will Learn• Explore the tools and frameworks required for effective TDD development• Perform the Red-Green-Refactor process efficiently, the pillar around which all other TDD procedures are based• Master effective unit testing in isolation from the rest of your code• Design simple and easily maintainable codes by implementing different techniques• Use mocking frameworks and techniques to easily write and quickly execute tests• Develop an application to implement behaviour-driven development in conjunction with unit testing• Enable and disable features using Feature TogglesIn DetailTest-driven development (TDD) is a development approach that relies on a test-first procedure that emphasises writing a test before writing the necessary code, and then refactoring the code to optimize it.The value of performing TDD with Java, one of the most established programming languages, is to improve the productivity of programmers, the maintainability and performance of code, and develop a deeper understanding of the language and how to employ it effectively.Starting with the basics of TDD and reasons why its adoption is beneficial, this book will take you from the first steps of TDD with Java until you are confident enough to embrace the practice in your day-to-day routine.You''ll be guided through setting up tools, frameworks, and the environment you need, and will dive right in to hands-on exercises with the goal of mastering one practice, tool, or framework at a time. You''ll learn about the Red-Green-Refactor procedure, how to write unit tests, and how to use them as executable documentation.With this book you''ll also discover how to design simple and easily maintainable code, work with mocks, utilise behaviour-driven development, refactor old legacy code, and release a half-finished feature to production with feature toggles.You will finish this book with a deep understanding of the test-driven development methodology and the confidence to apply it to application programming with Java.Style and approachAn easy-to-follow, hands-on guide to building applications through effective coding practices. This book covers practical examples by introducing different problems, each one designed as a learning exercise to help you understand each aspect of TDD.

LA LEYENDA CUENTA QUE UN DRAGÓN ARRASARÁ CON TODO.EL ÚLTIMO ACABA DE DESPERTAR.Feiyu vive como cualquier adolescente entre clases interminables, cenas familiares y videojuegos. Nada en su rutina parece extraordinario, salvo por un detalle imposible de ignorar: es el último heredero del Tianlong, el dragón celestial, y sobre sus hombros recae la frágil armonía entre el mundo humano y el mágico.Cuando un grupo de cazadores inicia su persecución para impedir que la profecía se cumpla, una marca surge en su rostro: la prueba de que el dragón está despertando en su interior. Obligado a dejar atrás la vida que conoce, Feiyu debe asumir su herencia y convertirse en el líder que ambos mundos reclaman. Pero entonces ella aparece y, por primera vez, él se cuestiona si debe priorizar su vida o cumplir con su deber.Elegir entre el legado y el amor tensará los hilos del futuro… porque el destino, cuando se desafía, jamás perdona.
