"Felicity is a continual progress of the desire from one object to another, the attaining of the former being still but a way to the latter. The cause whereof is that the object of man's desire is not to enjoy once only, and for one instant of time, but to assure forever the way of his future desire... So that in the first place, I put as a general inclination of all mankind a perpetual and restless desire of power after power, that ceaseth only in death. And the cause of this is... that a man... cannot assure the power and means to live well, which he hath present, without the acquisition of more."

go from model to associated table name and back
Given a table object, it returns the related string object; e.g. SubAttribute => ’sub-attribute’. Useful if you want to make a list of all your tables with perhaps their fields listed out to the side.
Ruby
string = table.to_s.gsub( /([A-Za-z])([A-Z])/, ‘\1‘ << replace_char.to_s << ‘\2‘ )
string = string.pluralize if pluralize
string
end
Given a string akin to the name of a table, it returns the related table object; e.g. ’sub_attributes’ => SubAttribute.
Ruby
eval( string.to_s.gsub( /_id/, ” ).singularize.split( ‘_’ ).collect { |word| word.capitalize }.join )
end
