Big data coming to everyday enterprise apps

The emergence of 'big data' in areas such as astronomy, financial services and utilities is "changing profoundly" the world of database management, said Robert Nagel, vice president of software development at InterSystems. What's needed are systems that can handle the ingestion of massive amounts of well-structured data, persistence, rapid logging and checking, and then allowing analysis to begin while the data keeps accumulating. Another example is the third largest trading platform in the world (behind the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ), which runs at a large US investment bank. The bank previously used a system that was developed in house, but it sometimes failed near the end of the trading day, requiring a considerable recovery effort to identify which trades had been committed.

Six Attitudes of Divine Science, II - Everyday Spirituality

Answered the question as to whether or not Christian Scientists have any religious policy or creed. Eddy said, “No, if by that term is meant doctrinal beliefs.” She then proceeded to give 6 important points, or tenets, of divine Science which I will comment on during my next set of blogs. This process has clarified and validated the rules of divine Science which in turn has exposed spiritual benefits.

Tenet #2: “We acknowledge and respect one supreme and infinite God. We acknowledge God’s child, one Christ; the Holy spirit or divine Counselor; and man and woman in God’s image and likeness.”

My comments:

Human beings are not the center of the universe. We confess to a higher power We identify people as in the likeness of Love, Principle, all-knowing God.
