Niklas Bjorkman wrote: Firstly I agree with your conclusion. NewSQL takes the best of the traditional databases and NoSQL databases to combine the benefits of both worlds. I do not agree that NewSQL vendors focus on giving scale-out features to transactional data. The NewSQL market is focusing on giving true ACID support combined with extreme performance, stepping away from the traditional relational structures in databases. A lot of developers appreciate the ease of accessing data using SQL and I think we will see more and more databases supporting standard SQL. As you said - NewSQL databases often maintain the...

Keep the Holidays Merry - Move Your Medications

MOUNT PROSPECT, Ill., Dec. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The AWARxE® Consumer Protection Program encourages consumers to move medications from their medicine cabinets into a secure area for the holidays to protect loved ones. It is not uncommon when guests visit that pain pills, stimulants, and tranquilizers are removed from medicine cabinets to support prescription drug abuse habits. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, more than 50% of prescription drug abusers got them from family and friends for free. And sadly, prescription drugs are the most commonly abused drugs among 12 to 13 year olds.

Young teenagers do not realize that prescription drugs, when not taken according to a doctor's directions, can be deadly. Some teenagers secure pills from unsuspecting friends, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, sisters, and brothers, and go to a Pharm Party or a Skittles Party where all those who attend throw various pills into a bowl. Then each teen grabs some pills and ingests them. The pills they take could be anything from Ritalin®, to Tylenol® with Codeine, to Vicodin®, to Xanax®. Taking such combinations could lead to serious injury and even death. Sometimes they mix the pills with alcohol, which can be deadly.

Keep your loved ones safe from themselves. Lock your medicine out of sight in a secure place other than a drawer or cabinet, as these are the first places a determined person will look.
