RDBMS

A relational database management system (RDBMS) is a program that lets you create, update, and administer a relational database. Most commercial RDBMS's use the Structured Query Language (SQL) to access the database, although SQL was invented after the development of the relational model and is not necessary for its use.
The leading RDBMS products are Oracle, IBM's DB2 and Microsoft's SQL Server. Despite repeated challenges by competing technologies, as well as the claim by some experts that no current RDBMS has fully implemented relational principles, the majority of new corporate databases are still being created and managed with an RDBMS.

Tayabas is a special community. Of all the towns around Mount Banahaw, Tayabas has the best panoramic view of this vulcan de agua now regarded as the mystical mountain of the Philippines, which is host to at least half a million pilgrims during Holy Week.


One of the famous occassion that celebrate in Tayabas is Mayohan sa Tayabas, It's a 10 days celebration, from may 6-15. Its a season for the Tayabanses to converge at the mother navel of Quezon province.

Mayohan sa Tayabas is a program of the municipal government that aims to facilitate the process of conscious recollection among community members. Through a 10-day celebration, the Tayabanse is guided to honor the glory and bless the wounds and sacrifices of the past.

Risk management/Risks in cigarette smoking

Risk Management aims to facilitate the exchange of information and expertise across countries and across disciplines. Its purpose is to generate ideas and promote good practice for those involved in the business of managing risk. All too often assessments of risk are crudely made and the consequences of getting things wrong can be serious, including lost opportunities, loss of business, loss of reputation and even life.

There are many risks of smoking and the purpose of this article is to outline the specific risks that are associated with smoking.

1. Smoking kills over 400,000 people a year - making it more lethal than AIDS, automobile accidents, homicides, suicides, drug overdoses, and fires combined. Smoking may be even more dangerous now than 30 years ago, most likely because the lower tar and nicotine levels in most cigarette brands cause people to inhale more deeply.
2. Second-hand or side-stream smoke are also at risk - Smoke that is exhaled not only contains the same dangerous contaminants as inhaled smoke, but the exhaled smoke particles are smaller, so that they can reach distant sites in the lungs of involuntary or passive smokers and do great harm.
3. Smoking a cigarette raises the blood pressure by 5-10 mm Hg for about 30 minutes.
4. Greatly increases your risk of heart disease.
5. Addiction
6. Smoking Related Cancers: Adult Acute LeukemiaAdult, Chronic LeukemiaCervical,CancerEsophagus Cancer, Laryngeal Cancer, Lung Cancer, Kidney Cancer, Oropharyngeal Cancer, Pancreas Cancer, Stomach Cancer, Urinary Bladder.

How to mitigate and probably control these risks:

1. List all the reasons you want to stop - Every night before going to bed, repeat one of the reasons 10 times.
2. Decide positively that you want to stop - Try to avoid negative thoughts about how difficult it might be.
3. Develop strong personal reasons to stop in addition to your health and obligations to others.
4. Begin to condition yourself physically - start a modest exercise program; drink more fluids; get plenty of rest; avoid fatigue.
5. Have realistic expectations - stopping isn't easy, but it's not impossible either.
6. Ask your partner or friend to stop with you.

Project Management

Project Management is the discipline of planning, organizing, and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives.

Here is my sample project, using some project Management tools.

HOW TO QUIT SMOKING?

1. Milestone and gantt chart - Milestone charts are very popular today, especially for management reporting. A major benefit is that it's easy to communicate a great deal of information in a single presentation slide.

2. A Gantt Chart is a graphical representation used in project management that will show the length of time tasks in the project should take, as measured against real time. This helps the project to run more smoothly because:

• you can easily see the order of tasks.


• you can see project progress in terms of where you are and where you should be, because each task is given a time allotment.


• helps you see any dependencies that may exist between tasks

3. PERT?CPM CHART - A PERT chart is a project management tool used to schedule, organize, and coordinate tasks within a project. PERT stands for Program Evaluation Review Technique, a methodology developed by the U.S. Navy in the 1950s to manage the Polaris submarine missile program. A similar methodology, the Critical Path Method (CPM) was developed for project management in the private sector at about the same time.

Red bars are critical paths.

4. WBS - A Work Breakdown Structure is a results-oriented family tree that captures all the work of a project in an organized way. It is often portrayed graphically as a hierarchical tree, however, it can also be a tabular list of "element" categories and tasks or the indented task list that appears in your Gantt chart schedule.

5. Costing is a major component of management accounting. Its purpose is to support the processes of planning and controlling, and to provide data for pricing.
