Speech
Speaking today at a London primary school, Nick Clegg announced a series of measures to help public sector workers do their jobs.
Before I say anything else, I want to start with a thank you. The work you and other public sector workers do is hard.   You do it because, when you get home at the end of the day, you want to know you’ve made a difference. And you have.
Read New support for public sector workers for a summary of the measures announced.
You can’t get more at the sharp end than being the social worker trying to protect a child at risk of violence or abuse; the fire fighter running into a burning building when everyone else is running out; the nurse, doctor or paramedic battling to save the life of someone who’s barely holding on; the teacher seizing on a spark of interest in a class of boisterous teenagers; the policy expert figuring out how we keep the lights on for the next hundred years; the council worker dedicated to saving their local high street or securing essential local services; the probation and prison officers patiently working to turn the life around of someone who has only ever known a life of crime or drug addiction.
This is just a snapshot of the incredible things that you and the rest of Britain’s 5 million public sector workers do every day. For that, you deserve our enduring respect and gratitude. Whatever the pressures, no matter how hard the challenges, you keep our country going and I want to thank you on behalf of myself, my party and the government.
Your contribution is even more remarkable given that – over the last 4 years, in the wake of the biggest financial crisis in living memory, with our public services having to absorb significant spending cuts – every public service has had to do more with less.
In coalition, we’ve had to take difficult decisions on pay and pensions as we deal with the deficit – because there is nothing remotely fair or public spirited about saddling our children and grandchildren with those debts.
You’ve had to make personal sacrifices – to keep more of your colleagues in work and protect essential services for those who need them most.
As a result of those decisions, those sacrifices, our country is back on track. Our country is growing again. More people are in work than ever before.
And while a lot of families are still feeling the squeeze, we are finally through the fire. Up and down the country, people can once again look to their future with hope.
The question is: what next? The job’s not done. We’ve still got a way to go to pay down the deficit and, if the last 5 years were about securing Britain’s recovery, the next 5 years must be about moving from a period of rescue to a period of renewal. How do we learn to live within our means while providing people with the innovative and world class public services they deserve?
That is one of the central questions all political parties must answer at the next general election, and each one of the UK’s main political parties has a different response.

I believe in sound public finances supporting strong public services. I recognise that to build a stable, more balanced economy and a fairer society in Britain, we need both our public sector and private sector to thrive together, and we see you – Britain’s public servants – as our partners in this.
Without growing businesses and the taxes we pay, we don’t have the money to invest in good hospitals and schools. Without educated children and healthy adults, there wouldn’t be growing businesses.
[Political content removed]
And while I would love to come here today to tell you this means immediate relief from the pressure you’ve been under on pay, you know as well as I do, it simply isn’t possible yet.
That is why I think IPSA (Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority) should not grant a pay rise to MPs while everyone else in the public sector has their pay rises restricted and I have told them so.
But there is light at the end of the tunnel: once the deficit is gone and public spending is growing, my party will be able to deliver a better financial deal for all those who work in our public services.
In the meantime, I believe there are concrete steps we can take now as we finish that journey and build some of the best, most resilient and innovative public services in the world. I’m talking about, first, cutting unnecessary red tape to help reduce your workloads; second, giving you more support to deal with the particular stresses and strains that your roles bring; and, finally, ensuring the public sector offers you modern, progressive workplaces.
Firstly, every time I speak to a teacher, nurse, social worker, Jobcentre Plus manager, police officer or council worker one issue comes up again and again: their battle with bureaucracy.
Take teaching. Some people are still under the misguided impression that it’s a profession built around short days and long holidays. But talk to a teacher and they’ll tell you about their working week of 50 hours or more. They’ll also tell you how much of this time they feel is wasted on unnecessary processes, box ticking and form filling.
We’re talking about hours spent struggling to stay on top of piles of incident reports, over-detailed lesson plan templates, health and safety forms, departmental updates, training requests and so on that threaten to engulf them every week. Not to mention the reams of additional evidence which teachers pull together because of a long-held belief that Ofsted inspectors want to see everything written down.
Some of this work is unavoidable. Every school needs to ensure the safety of its pupils and staff and maintain the highest standards possible. But should you really have to fill in multiple risk assessment forms for every school trip when just one form would be better?
Ask any teacher and they’ll give you at least 2 more examples like that: whether it’s having to highlight their lesson plans in five different colours or inputting every pupil’s marks into countless different spreadsheets in countless different ways at regular points in the year.
I believe it’s time for us to stop that runaway train of bureaucracy in its tracks, giving our teachers more time to do what they do best: creating and planning the best possible lessons and experiences for our children. In government, we’ve already done this for businesses: freeing up money and resources for millions of companies.
We want to do the same for the public sector – starting with teachers. This is part of the wider work being done by Nicky Morgan and David Laws to tackle the issue of workload across the teaching profession, following talks with trade unions.
It has already produced a new myth busting document from Ofsted, which clarifies what’s expected of teachers for school inspections.
And, today, I’m pleased to announce with Nicky Morgan, the Secretary of State for Education, the launch of our new Workload Challenge for teachers.
We’re asking teachers across the country to take a long hard look at how they spend their working day and what pointless processes and paperwork they think should be cut or scrapped altogether.
We want you to then send us your ideas via the Workload Challenge page available on the TES website.
In the New Year, a panel led by teachers and educators will scrutinise the best ideas, then work with Ofsted, the teaching unions and other leading education stakeholders to put them into action starting early next year.
If we can show this pilot working in education, I want to get it rolled out as soon as possible to all our other services too.
At the same time as our challenge is running, we’ve also got teams going into 30 schools to look in more detail at what’s happening on the ground.
Based on the teams’ findings, we’ll continue to work with a cross-section of schools and the teaching unions to highlight best practice and develop tips and tools every school can use to tackle unnecessary workload, whilst also maintaining the highest standards of teaching and management.
Secondly, as well as easing your workloads where we can, I want to do more to help you deal with the specific pressures and demands that come with your different roles.
Many of you choose to work in the public sector because, when you see someone in trouble or in need of support, you want to step in and help. Yet being that person day in and day out – dealing with people who are often disengaged, frustrated, angry or at risk of hurting themselves or other people – can take its toll.
These kinds of pressures are especially acute for Britain’s emergency service workers.
When calls like these come, they need to be ready and, when the shift ends, they go home to their families and try to be a good partner, friend, mum or dad. But if there’s no way of dealing with the day’s challenges, the pressure can become too much – leading to mental health issues.
In the most extreme circumstances, this causes burn out and people leaving the job altogether. In discussions with the government, workers from across our blue-light services have told us that they want more support to prevent and deal with these mental and emotional demands.
Throughout this coalition, I’ve fought for the resources to secure equal treatment for mental health with physical health. In the emergency services, you’re given protective gloves, masks, stab vests, fire fighting kit etc, as well procedures to follow to keep you physically safe. I want to give you that same high standard of protection for your mental health.
That is why I’ve asked the mental health organisation Mind to work with our emergency services personnel to develop and trial a new package of Frontline Mental Health support.
This will include practical tools emergency service workers can use to cope with the strain of working relentlessly busy shifts, answering traumatic call outs, helping grieving relatives and keeping the public safe, healthy and well.
We know this kind of support has already had a huge impact in other countries and services, for example the US Army – where, since 2008, resilience training has helped to reduce rates of anxiety and depression amongst over 1 million soldiers. But it’s not been tried and tested in the UK on this scale before.
We aim to start this pilot in the spring and roll it out across our emergency services more widely as soon as we can.
Mind are already working with employers to raise awareness of mental health problems and reduce stigma, through their Time to Change programme, and I would urge those public sector bodies still to sign up to Time to Change to do so now.
Finally, I recognise that you can’t get the best public services without the best people, and every day we’re competing with the private sector for your talent and skills.
To ensure you stick with us, we need our public services to be offering some of the best places to work in the UK. This means modern, engaging workplaces which look beyond just qualifications to see your potential; give you the chance to progress as far as your talents and ambition can take you; and help you strike that balance between managing the demands of your job and home – whether that’s caring for a sick relative, bringing up children or just leading a more balanced life.
When this government started, for too many young people, it was still a case of who you know not what you know that secured your access to valuable work experience or internship opportunities in the civil service.
Since 2010, we’ve focused hard on levelling that playing field for all young people. This includes establishing 2 new work experience programmes, which give school and college students a chance to see for themselves what working in government is like and gain vital professional experience and skills.
We’ve stopped the informal internships arrangements in government which only gave a leg up to those with insider contacts: ensuring that all of our civil service internship places are advertised widely and openly.
In addition, we’ve expanded the number of places available on our Summer Diversity Internship scheme – which targets young people from ethnic minorities or poorer backgrounds – from 175 to 300.
We’ve also created our new fast-track apprenticeship scheme. As you know, for years, the civil service has recruited its future leaders through the tried and tested route of the Graduate Fast-Stream Scheme. But university isn’t for everyone. Many talented young people want to earn while they learn and, if we’re serious about recruiting the brightest and best out there, we need to ensure they get a shot at the top jobs too.
Based on this scheme’s early success, we’ve already doubled the number of fast-track apprenticeship places available in the civil service from 100 to 200 – with plans to double them again to 400 by 2016.
In the coming months, I want to see the scale and reach of these schemes – along with those you’re part of – grow right across our public services. They’ve got to, if we want to secure a diverse public sector built on merit, equipped to challenge outdated thinking, drive innovation and deliver better public services.
For me, it’s critical that people who choose to work in the public sector know that they’re working in modern, progressive workplaces. That is why I think it’s also important we do more to support public sector workers balancing the demands of modern life.
As you know, from April next year, under our new shared parental leave arrangements, if you’re a new mum who wants to return to work before your 12 months of maternity leave is up, or go back to work for a particular project, you can without losing out.
 You can even – as parents – take chunks of time off together.
It’s up to individual employers to decide the extra pay and support they can give to their employees during this shared parental leave period. Ideally, I want to see every public sector organisation doing what they can to help their employees take full advantage of these new rules.
I pushed for the introduction of shared parental leave in the first place, because we fundamentally believe it’s time for us to sweep away the outdated regulations and prejudices which still limit the choices of too many people in this country. Evidence shows promoting flexible working patterns like this can help boost employee productivity, loyalty and retention.
To help get that revolution started in the public sector, working with Francis Maude and the Cabinet Office, I’ve been pushing hard for radical reforms to the way in which the civil service pays and supports its staff after their children are born.
So, I’m pleased to confirm that, from April 2015, the civil service will be offering equal parental pay and support to all its employees – male and female. As result, it will no longer just be new mums working in the civil service who can take maternity leave at full pay. Dads will also be able to benefit from enhanced pay for shared parental leave, if both parents choose to carve up their time between them.
This means more fathers will be able to afford to take time off to spend caring for their new born children. More widely, I want to see this change blaze a trail for other public and private sector organisations to follow – making this option the norm for more working families and increasing the opportunities available to both sexes to earn and care across our society.
And this shouldn’t just be about parents. With an ageing population, there are increasing numbers of people living with long-term medical conditions and receiving care from their family members.
[Political content removed]
This builds on our successful work in government to extend the right to flexible working to everyone, and again I’d like to see more organisations across the public sector and private sector offering more flexible working arrangements to their employees to help family carers juggle their commitments at work and home and stay healthy themselves.
In conclusion, the jobs you do aren’t easy. They’re not for the faint hearted, but you do them because you want to make a difference. I hear that in every job centre, hospital, school, police station, prison and public sector office I visit.
Britain just wouldn’t work without you. That’s why I believe it’s so critical to give you the professional opportunities and support you need to keep doing your jobs well.
This is my commitment and that of my party to you: we’ll keep doing what we can to ensure our government empowers, values and listens to you more.
Only, together, working as partners, can we finish the job we’ve started and finish it fairly: building the stronger economy and fairer society Britain needs to succeed.
Thank you.

At Cambridge school, the admission procedure begins at the start of every academic year i.e. January. The admission is solely based on merit.
For KG to grade I, the admission is subject to vacancies or availability of seats and are based on written tests which are often followed by an interactive session. The application forms must be duly filled in, signed and submitted within 3 days of the date of collection of forms and within the last prescribed date. The application must be accompanied by three passport sized photographs and an attested copy of the birth certificate, original school leaving certificate as well as other necessary documents needed for the admission procedure.
The school collects nominal fees catering to all strata of society. The school believes that each child has the right to education. Tuition fees are collected every month and are inclusive of food, transportation and other activities in school.
Taking the word quite literally, we at Cambridge school built a brand-new building resembling a garden for children; with a grassy quadrangle ringed with bench seats, brightly coloured walls, flowers on the ceiling with concealed lighting and décor which changes with the seasons. The new building has airy classrooms with rubber flooring, colourful desks, chairs and display boards in each class. It also has an activity room with books, toys and computers.
Fun days are often celebrated to make learning exciting for the children. Festive days are celebrated to allow children to enjoy school days without pressure. The school also has play areas for kids to indulge during their games period. The play zone consists of swings, slides, jungle gyms, monkey bars etc. Such play activities will help children to hone their hand and eye coordination, making them active and agile. The school also has a special arrangement for siblings who are in different sessions but wish to play together so that they can keep an eye on the younger siblings as they utilize their waiting hours with fun games and activities.

Colorfall is a generative art project, exploring themes of order, chaos, number and harmony via color. The basic operation of colorfall is powered by the famously chaotic rule 30 from Wolframs elementary series. However, in colorfall, the cells "inherit" the sum of the local values from the previous generation.
As the automaton progresses, in the beginning, the values cascade in a quasi-random manner, each generation populated by larger values than before. But, the cell values cannot continue to grow forever, as they are constrained to a limited number of bits. As the values compound, they reach the limit of what can be stored and they begin to overflow.
As more and more numbers begin to overflow, some resonate inside the limiting interval, forming cycles. These cycles spread and form stable groups that are congruent with the visualization filter, each one becoming a distinct bands of color that streaks down like flowing paint.
Despite their resilence to the tumultuous motion of the automaton, these groups can be extremely sensitive to very small errors in adding and copying their state. Introducing a small error by subtracting 1 from the value of a new cell can often disrupt the entire color-group. The stable band of color is replaced by a splash of many colors that must randomly spread for a time until it either terminates or settles down again in one or more new groups.
The error rate and other parameters can be adjusted is the automaton parameters tab.
For inquires about displaying colorfall, please message me on twitter or send me an email with "colorfall inquiry" in the subject. nathan.epstein.1 (at) gmail.com. Thanks!

Hamilton accepts blame for incident with Albon in F1 Brazilian GP
by Matt BeerLewis Hamilton said he accepts full responsibility for the Brazilian Grand Prix collision with Alex Albon that led to him being penalised by the Formula 1 stewards.
Hamilton knocked Albon's Red Bull into a spin at the tight Bico de Pato corner on the infield while trying to reclaim second with one lap to go following a late pitstop for fresh tyres during a safety car period.
Though Hamilton crossed the line in third and took part in the podium ceremony, he was already under investigation and was given a five-second time penalty soon afterwards - dropping him to seventh in the results.
He had expressed remorse for the incident in immediate post-race interviews and underlined after the penalty that he had no qualms about accepting blame for the tangle.
"I've got a penalty. I totally accept the blame as I was coming from behind," said Hamilton.
"You don't hardly ever see me do that, collisions with anyone.
"In hindsight, I could have waited to come across the line, but hindsight is always a great thing."
The clash cost rookie Albon what would have been his first F1 podium. He finished 14th.
"We'll live to fight another day and that won't be the last time that he's in position for a podium and he'll have many more great races," said Hamilton of Albon.
"So I hope, as hard as it is a pill to swallow, that he can learn from the experience also."
Albon admitted he was "upset" to lose a potential second place but understood why Hamilton tried the move.
"Of course he didn't mean to do it. I'm not angry at Lewis," he added.
He suggested that Hamilton had been in a hurry to overtake him because he still felt he had an opportunity to catch leader Max Verstappen, which Hamilton confirmed.
"It's always a big question of when is the right time to try it," said Hamilton.
"We only had a lap and a half to go. An opportunity came up, I was quicker through Turn 9 [Pinheirinho].
"And I was in shooting distance, so I gave it a shot.
"Ultimately, in my mind, I'm trying to catch Max. It's highly unlikely, but that was the goal."

S&P Close Over 3100 Confirms A Powerful Rally. Salesforce, Adobe, AMAT, Nvidia Showcase Tech Participation
by David H. LernerSummary
- The rally has wide participation. Still, there are great tech names that will lead the rally higher.
- I chart out several tech names that were suffering in the summer and are now either breaking out to moving back to old highs.
- Insider buying continues to offer insights and should be the first filter to find interesting opportunities. The CEO of Dropbox buying $9.5 Million in shares should get your attention.
We've Talked About How this Rally is Broad-Based and Spent Time on the Leadership of the Industrials. There's Tech Too.
At the time that I am completing this article, the market has climbed ever higher. I would not be surprised if all the major indexes close at or very near their highs. Also, the VIX has fallen below 12.5; in fact, it is at 12.12. I don't recall seeing this level for quite some time. This tells me that market participants are very comfortable and even complacent. I believe there is more room to run as the expectation is that there is no pulling back going into the weekend.
Let's look at each of the above tech names and how far they've come in the last month. The notion is, they are going much higher as part of the leadership of this rally.
Salesforce (CRM) after flatlining for months, recently broke to its highs. While it's down fractionally right now, we are looking forward to Dreamforce 2019 next week, and I think the announcements there should power it meaningfully higher. Let's take a look at the 1-month and then 3-month chart to see where we are going.
The big move here is clear with something like a 25-point move in less than a month.
There is no "voodoo" chart formation here, it is plain for all to see. You have a rolling over in price for CRM, and then, you have a very strong rejection of bearish sentiment. This type of reversal can last a long time. Obviously, if the analyst confab previously mentioned is not well accepted by market participants, CRM will be repriced. I am fairly certain that CEO Benioff most likely has a good story to tell.
Adobe (ADBE) right off the bat, I can tell you that very recent interviews with Shantanu Narayen, CEO of ADBE, confirm that ADBE's business is going very well indeed.
This 1-month chart of ADBE is almost a carbon copy of the CRM chart. In this case, we see a rise of almost 40 points in less than a month. It is below the all-time high back in July. Let's now take a gander at the 3 months.
Holy cow, we have another rolling over in price and then, a strong rejection of the bears. I did not look at the charts before I started writing. I like to share my impressions in a fresh way, so you get my unvarnished thinking. I do generally know the price movement of well-known tech names, I knew they have improved nicely in price, but the similarity in the charts are striking. This is beginning to look to me like there was an overall positioning action. Major market participants were rejecting this cohort of stocks wholesale. Let me go further before we draw any larger theme. A strict chartist would wait for ADBE to break above the previous high, but, with this overall rally, I am pretty certain that ADBE will go back to the old high and exceed it.
Applied Materials (AMAT) The next name on the list is AMAT. AMAT just reported earnings and hit their numbers into the stratosphere, so it might distort the overall look of the chart. Let's see...
In this case, I put the trend-line up until today's news. AMAT shot up nearly 10% today. Aside from the blast higher, we see that AMAT has a very nice upslope, though not as sharp as the prior two. In fairness to AMAT, it is a chip equipment manufacturer, and the prior two are cloud software names. This is the 3 months chart, there was no rejection of the bears, but this huge repricing of AMAT and putting it into the all-time high category to me says that there is more upside for AMAT. Also, please keep in mind what such good news means for the chip industry in general. Chip manufacturing machinery growth speaks to the confidence of the chip companies, which, in turn, means that the end-users such as cell phones, laptops, data centers, and even car manufacturers are feeling more confident. Chips are no longer about PC manufacturing any longer. Chips are everywhere, chips are foundational to our world. Now let's look at Nvidia.
Nvidia (NVDA)
We see the same upslope as the others. Please note that Nvidia reported earnings today as well. They handily beat the report, but, in this case, NVDA was already moving well higher. NVDA is also trading well below its old highs. I would not be surprised that after the stock settles down next week, it resumes this strong upward retracement towards its old highs. The next chart is 6 months instead of 3 months because Nvidia has been running up steadily. Check it out...
NVDA had a lot of difficulties last year, mostly due to over-ordering because of the trade situation. I think all of these charts confirm that they have room to run and they should be studied for a trade. These names are not the best-known names, but they are part of the tapestry of stocks that create a bullish environment besides being great trades on their own. CRM, ADBE, AMAT, and Nvidia could all be bought, do the research and make up your own minds. Nvidia was just upgraded by three separate analysts. Consider using today's weakness to begin a position.
Analyst Corner
Thermo-Fisher Scientific ( TMO ) has been initiated to Outperform by Evercore ISI
My Take: TMO as part of the medical equipment world should do well. I have not spent enough time with these names, but there are some that present great investment and trading opportunities.
Disney ( DIS ) Price Target Raised from 150 to 160 at JPMorgan Chase by Analyst Alexia Quadrini
My Take: DIS is a member of my MADGAG acronym. I believe DIS will now power much higher, based on the growth of its Disney+ subscribers. Many market participants faulted DIS for undercharging its offering. The news that they jumped the subscription of the HULU live TV service by 25% should reassure you that DIS is not interested in losing money.
Ping Identity ( PING ) Price Target Boost to $23 at RBC with an Outperform
PING is in the identity business like Okta Inc. (OKTA). PING performed very well financially. I suggest being able to compare and contrast each service in order to pick the winner. I tend to favor OKTA out of experience. PING might be better.
Grubhub ( GRUB ) Barclays analyst Deepak Mathivanan upgrades from Underweight to overweight PT raise from $27 to $51
My Take: First of all, kudos for the gutsy call. Secondly, I am excited because, if GRUB runs up anywhere close to this new PT, I want to bet against this name. GRUB just has too many strikes against it. I put it in a similar category as UBER and LYFT.
Piper Jaffray, Wedbush, and JPMorgan Chase all raised PT on Nvidia . 290 with a Buy, 325 with an Outperform, and a 295 with an Overweight concomitantly.
My Take: You know my take, buy NVDA.
Applied Materials has two new raises, PT 70 and 67 by Key Corp. and Royal Bank of Canada concomitantly.
My Take: It's a buy. I would wait a bit as I would with NVDA and hope the price settles a bit.
Insider Corner
I want to note the huge number of insider buying this week. Not sure if it's because it is after earnings or some seasonal factor. I just think it's worth noting. As always these are trades that caught my eye.
Dropbox ( DBX ): Andrew Houston CEO buys $9.5 Million worth of shares
My take: DBX has been outperforming, it's a buy.
Keurig Dr Pepper ( KDP ): Mary Beth DeNooyer (Insider) buys $174,300 of shares
My take: We also had Robert Singer, Director, recently buy 150K shares as well on November 11. KDP is interesting to me based on the multiple buyers. Look for confirmation in other related areas.
PetIQ ( PETQ ): John Newland, CFO, buys nearly $1 Million in shares
My Take: I never heard of PetIQ, but the CFO buying that level of shares gets my attention. Then, I looked at their recent earnings:
Third Quarter 2019 Net Sales Increased 42% Year-Over-Year to $186 Million Reiterates the Full Year 2019 Outlook
I also surfaced the company description off of Yahoo Finance:
PetIQ, Inc. operates as a pet health and wellness company. It operates through two segments, Products and Services. It manufactures and distributes veterinarian services and veterinarian-grade pet products, including prescription (Rx) medications, over-the-counter (OTC) flea and tick preventatives, and health and wellness products for dogs and cats.
I don't own a dog but I was tempted to call them. Instead, let's put this on our action list and look for a reason to accumulate this name...
Trinity Industries ( TRN ) Brandon B Boze (Director) buys $830K worth of shares
My Take: This caught my eye because this same guy bought a similar amount a few weeks ago. I looked deeper, and this same guy has been buying millions of dollars' worth of shares on a very regular basis. Therefore, this is not a timing data situation. In my defense, the last time I wrote about TRN, they also announced an enormous order for railcars. At this point, more purchasing news from this individual will be less important to me. That said, if someone new joins the party, that will prick my ears.
Have a great weekend!
Disclosure: I/we have no positions in any stocks mentioned, but may initiate a long position in NVDA over the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

rethinkmodel.manage - Automatic database and table creation¶
Automatic database initialisation tools.
This module proposes some functions to automatically create database and tables by introspecting modules. It can be used in Python, or from command line (in progress).
The way to go is th create a python script, named “manage.py” for example, that will do the job. For example:
import rethinkmodel
from rethinkmodel.manage as manage
import myproject.dataModule # this is your module
# you should configure your RethinkDB connection here
rethinkmodel.config(...)
# Check if the configured database exists
manage.check_db()
# this will introspect module to find
# each "Model" object and create tables.
# It will also create database
manage(myproject.dataModule)
-
rethinkmodel.manage.
auto
(member: Type[rethinkmodel.model.Model])[source]¶ Automatic database and table creation for the given type (Modelchild).
