1. What's wrong with this picture?
NoSQL database management systems give us the opportunity to store our data according to more than one data storage model, but our entity-relationship data modeling notations are stuck in SQL land. Is there any need to model schema-less databases, and is it even possible? --Theodore Hills, The Hybrid Data Model, Dataversity.net

And now for something completely different: My take on the news
- The man who studies the spread of ignorance. Job security forever.
- 1.4 million for Randomizer app that chooses left or right. By the people responsible for your security.
- Panama Papers Leak Signals a Shift in Mainstream Journalism. Don't worry: those who own the world will shift to other methods.
- In Science, It’s Never ‘Just a Theory’. A confusion I've been lamenting for decades.
- Fearing jihadis, US said to mull pulling troops from north Sinai. This is how the Six Day War started. Why Israel can never rely on international guarantees for its defense.
- How Europe built fences to keep people out. Which is what they criticize Israel for, even though, unlike the EU fences, Israel's is for its existence, not economic reasons.
- Unspoken Reasons for the American Jewish Distancing from Israel. Europe's Jews also deluded themselves that assimilation would save their ass.
