After Re-organization, DBMS_STATS.RESTORE_TABLE_STATS Restores Statistics Collected After Re-organization Rather Than Those From Before
Last updated on SEPTEMBER 19, 2016
Applies to:Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 220.127.116.11 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
- Table has been reorganized with DBMS_REDEFINITION
- After the reorganization, statistics were restored using a timestamp before the reorganize was started.
- Instead of restoring the old statistics, new statistics were restored as collected after the reorganization of the table
- These "new" statistics may introduce performance issues
- The last_analyzed column in {all|dba|user_tables} shows a date after the reorganization of the table rather than the date as specified in the DBMS_STATS.RESTORE_TABLE_STATS command.
The table in question has been reorganized with DBMS_REDEFINITION, implicitly implying that a new table has been created (thus different object_id).

Give me more
I never thought I'd teach Naomi baby sign language. But we noticed how much Naomi tries to imitate us, and how easy it's been to teach her tricks, (recent trick - "Flying Kiss"), and my friend Lois told us about how her 1yr old son Caleb can sign for "more", "please", "diaper change"!!!. I figured I'd give it a shot. Within a couple of days Naomi started copying me when I made the gesture for "more", and now a couple weeks later, she knows how to signal "more" for when she wants more food!. She still gets frustrated when we take too long to feed her and grunts/whines, but she's starting to use the sign more often. Each time she signals for "more" we give her another bite of whatever she's eating and praise her....then she claps for herself.

Half Pint Heroes
All I can think of when I see this one is me watching the show and the movies. "TURTLES IN A HALF SHELL...TURTLE POWER!" Well, let's not bring that up because EVERY TIME I do manz (and on occasion my boy Ian if we're all together) starts singing that lame ass Vanilla Ice rap from the second movie. *rolls eyes&
Can't you hear the old school sad hulk music playing in the background? Emo Hulk is emo.
I love the merc with the mouth. He's awesome. I'm glad they've temporarily scrapped the Deadpool Origins movie because Ryan Reynolds defected to DC. Maybe they can just do a real movie and get Jon Favreau to direct it or something.
This actually in a weird way reminds me of Kingdom Come, because you know how at the end when they're chillin in a coffee shop and Clark and Diana try to spring a surprise on Bruce? (Which fails) Seeing them three together like this being young reminded me that they stay close as they get older.
I love the look on Logan's face like he's trying to figure out whether or not he really likes the blood on his claws. Of course we know he does, but its still kind of cute in a way.
I wanted to dress up as Harley Quinn for Halloween so bad a few years ago before manz moved out here, but didn't know anyone who'd go as the Joker or maybe Poison Ivy. And then by the time he moved out here the movies were out and every one and their mom (or dad I guess in this case) went as the Joker. So lame. But isn't this an awesome picture?
HAD to save the best for last. I love the maniacal glee on his face. Just what I imagined he looked like as a child.

Ah, such lyrical mastery. :P
And power to the Joker.
I'd pay good money for a nice sized print of each one of these. that's how awesome they are. You always find the good shit! Oh, and sad old school Hulk music FTW. doesn't get any better than that...i can picture David Banner walking down the road with his huge backpack right now.ReplyDelete
Stormy: ...ReplyDelete
Do you know one night Brad sang that whole damned song and wouldn't stop? Damn near drove me crazy.
iamnotstrange: Yeah, there are a lot of these that are amazing on his site. We've started buying all kinds of stuff to put up on our "Batman" wall, and a few other things we're going to get blown up and put on canvas. I'll take pictures!
That Deadpool picture is actually my avatar on Sherdog.ReplyDelete
I like these. Has kinduva Tim Burton take to it.ReplyDelete
@E-Rich: Where'd you see this dude's art at?ReplyDelete
@Pago: Yeah, you're right, they do. And I still like them. (I'm kind of over Tim Burton's style, actually.)
I was using this website my pre-fiancee introduced me to called stumbleupon. You just check off the type of crap you're interested in and it just randomly sends you to websites on the internet. I was stumbling around and, joy and pancakes, I found this guy who makes awesome interpretations of comic book characters.ReplyDelete
is there any way i can get ahold of Minga id rly like him to draw me us some tattoos id ay him good money i love his workReplyDelete

Heat Pumps - How they work and the Renewable Heat Incentive
Heat pumps provide heat from renewable sources and are increasingly being used by homeowners as a viable alternative to oil-fired boilers to provide heating and hot water.
How heat pumps work
Heat pumps take low-level heat from the surroundings and compress it to raise its temperature so it can be used to heat your home and provide hot water. The heat source in question can be the air, the ground or even a nearby source of water.
Air-source heat pumps work like air-conditioners in reverse, extracting warmth from the outside air and typically transferring it at a higher temperature into the central heating and hot water system. Working in a similar fashion, ground-source heat pumps take warmth from the ground via pipework buried in trenches or boreholes and water-source heat pumps source all the heat they need from a nearby river or lake.
Although heat pumps use electricity, they have the potential to generate at least three units of heat for each unit of electricity they use – this means they should be at least as efficient as a gas boiler in carbon and energy cost terms, although this is also very dependent on factors such as design, commissioning and patterns of use. Heat pumps work most efficiently if they run at a lower temperature for a longer period of time and are therefore best suited to use with underfloor heating systems.
The Renewable Heat Incentive
Heat pumps benefit from a Government scheme called the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). The scheme aims to cover the additional cost of the heat pump over and above a replacement oil boiler by providing you with a payment for each unit (kWh) of heat generated by the system. The RHI is payable for seven years but is only payable if your home has loft and cavity wall insulation installed (where applicable). To the end of December 2016 the payments are:
- ground-source heat pump system - 19.33p for each unit (kWh) of heat generated
- air-source heat pump system - 7.51p/kWh

Folly Beach
Frank, Steve and gang, I have met and spoken to every one of you in the past. You are the ones that told me that the only class you ever failed was the ones where your teacher hated you. You told me that the only reason you got fired was because your boss was a prick. You also told me that all of the people at work were jerks and that is why you didn't fit in. Listen up... it isn't everybody elses fault that sh*t doesn't work out for you or go your way... it's yours. I am a habitual lead foot and I have gotten many tickets and pay extra for insurance because of it. It has never once occurred to me that it was the dick head cops fault for all of this. I know I speed and the risk I take when I do it. When I get caught I pay the ticket and the insurance hike and try to remember not to do it again so soon. Take responsibility for your actions and realize this: Deputy James just shot a black man in the line of duty...Now sled is going to be looking over his shoulder until he shoots a couple of white ones so he can prove he is not a profiler. Best of luck to you. By the way, you don't have to worry about the cops trying to make Folly into a tourist destination, the two models you have representing the Folly Beach whiners will keep them out no matter what they do.

Anybody having some more of these helmet cover pics
Regards, Lars
Good pictures Andy, geez he has the cover very tight over the helmet thought doesn't he. Top half can be done with the band but would love to see inside.
Lars I am interested to mate
That was exactly what i thought He almost "painted" it on. It sure has a snug fit! Thanks a lot.
We ( me and wife ) have been discussing this a bit. We will most likely make them like the original German helmet covers. A 3 piece cover. The thinking behind it goes like this: The soldiers would have been familiar, with this way of making covers. Making a flat surface cover a round is not all that easy, so we think they would go for a method that they would have seen before. Anyway, the officer on the pic seems to have made it somehow like this. He made hooks from a outer helmet band , a little similar to the factory made ones. I think i will make those hooks from original WW2 k98 casing material. Maybe something else. We could also make 4 triangles of course. Time will tell. If you guys have a specific helmet you want to cover please post the size This will be a fun project.
Regards, Lars
Still a nice pic Andy

Organ Mountains Sunset
I took a panorama of the flatiron-like foothills at the base of the Organ Mountains outside Las Cruces, New Mexico. I decided to keep one version of the panorama in color and to convert the other to black and white. I like the color of the sunset, but the black and white has a more subtle, silvery glow.

Government must now come clean on reclamation errors
The government's announcement not to appeal against the High Court decision regarding the Wan Chai temporary reclamation should have been accompanied by an apology to the public for the delay caused to the Central-Wan Chai bypass and to the Sha Tin-Central link. The government must explain why it failed to comply not only with the law but also with its own commitments to the public.
Michael Suen Ming-yeung, the then secretary for housing, planning and lands, together with Sarah Liao Sau-tung, the then secretary for environment, transport and works announced, by public circular, in 2004 that the government would comply with the Court of Final Appeal judgment by establishing an 'overriding public need' for any future reclamation and would consult the public.
They also promised to observe the principle of the Protection of the Harbour Ordinance that the harbour belongs to Hong Kong people by law and the government should not damage the harbour without consulting the people as its lawful owners.
The government did not comply with these commitments. Over the next three years, it published four pamphlets and extensively consulted the public on its new Wan Chai reclamation proposal, claiming that the extent would be reduced from the former 26 hectares to 15 hectares. Not one word was said about the 10.7 hectares of 'temporary reclamation'.
Without any proper public consultation, the government, in July last year, gazetted the construction works for this 'temporary reclamation'. When challenged by our society, it claimed that such 'reclamation' was outside the ordinance, but the High Court recently decided it was wrong. Officials have not responded to our demand for an official inquiry into the cause of the government's mistake, which is expensive for the public because of the resultant delay.
Surely the public is entitled to be given a formal apology by the official responsible. Otherwise the administration's much-acclaimed policy of transparency in government and ministerial responsibility is meaningless.

Society for Protection of the Harbour

This is set in the Gifts world, but aside from three minor characters has no connection with the main Gifts story. Set 5 months after Gifts 3-The Mute part2.
He was a pretty child and he was wearing a slave collar, so of course he was naked. It was a high class inn, so normally being alone, he would have been turned away, except that he wore the bracelet on his wrist, which indicated that he was a Bonded Messenger.
He asked for Turc Senson, and he was directed to a middle-aged bearded man, richly dressed, who was nursing a bottle of wine at one of the tables. He stopped about a yard away from the man, so that he could be easily be seen. The man ignored his presence. So Kith just stood there in the way he had been taught by his owner, feet a little apart, hands at his sides, so that nothing was concealed and just waited. If the man thought he could outwait Kith, he was in for a surprise. The boy could stand there for hours without moving.
After an hour, Kith was getting a little bored, but as long as he was a slave, while in Varryn, he couldn't speak until he was acknowledged, despite the fact that he was a Bonded Messenger. Finally the man looked at him, and with curiosity he asked, "How long would you stand there, if I didn't acknowledge you."
Kith explained, "My owner purchased me and several other boys at the age of four. While this was a minor part of what he wanted us for, it was the first thing we were trained to do. We would be put in a position and required to remain in that position until told we could move. Any movement and we would receive a severe whipping.
"By the time we were five we had to be able to remain unmoving for at least four hours, by the time we were eight, a minimum of eight hours was required."
"So you don't think I can outwait you?" the man asked.
"It's highly unlikely, but not impossible, since you are a soldier, you might have received special scout training, which would have included training in how to go into a trance, which would allow you to stay unmoving for long periods. Our owner, never taught us how to use trances, he wanted us unmoving and helpless, yet completely awake and always conscious of our helplessness."
"How do you know I'm a soldier," asked the man.
"Both of your hands are calloused, in ways that could not occur in any other way. You have the same type of callouses, on both hands so unlike many soldiers you can use both arms equally well, but also you have the added callouses on your left arm which indicate that you carry a small shield on that arm. You could be an Armsmaster, but most could not afford to stay at a costly inn like this on a regular basis, but you show no sign of discomfort at being here, so obviously these are the type of quarters you are accustomed to when not in the field."
"Why would the Temple of Flarston, send... a what, a ten year old, to me." asked Turc Senson.
"I was either born a slave, or sold into slavery when I was too young to remember, and many slaves never know exactly when they were born, and that is the case with me. The feeling is that I am about ten, plus or minus six months. I have a message from the temple for you." said Kith. Placing his left hand on the bracelet, he began to speak, and while it was still his voice, it resonated with the voice of the Priest in charge of Bonded Messengers at the local temple. "Kith, is the only fully trained Bonded Messenger we have available at the present moment. It will be at least a week before any others are available. He has never been more than one hundred miles from Corson. If you have a long journey in mind, it would be advisable to wait."
Kith released the bracelet, the jewel ceased glowing, and he brushed the lock of blond hair which had fallen down over his large gray eyes, back into place. The man stood up and dropping a silver coin on the table, "Come with me, what I have to say needs a little more privacy."
He headed for the stairs Kith following obediently behind. He entered the second room and closed the door after Kith entered. He said, "Sit, and we can discuss this."
Kith sank to the floor, into a crosslegged position. Not expecting that Turc was a little disconcerted. "I meant for you to sit on the chair or on the bed."
Kith shook his head, "As long as I'm a slave, it would be very unwise of me to get into bad habits. While I have divine protection when I am carrying a message, that doesn't extend to forgetting my station in life. I can be whipped, just as severely as any other slave, if I offend. The God would only protect me from punishment which was severe enough to affect my ability to deliver the message or unjust punishment."
Turc with a shrug of resignation, sat down facing Kith, despite his years, doing it as easily as the boy had done.
"Why are you still a slave. I thought that if a slave was called to be a Bonded Messenger, the owner had to give him to the temple."
"That is the custom that has been followed, however it is just a custom, not a law. My owner refused to give me to the temple, who would have freed me. He demanded that they pay him the sum that he now considered me worth after the years of training that I had gone through. He put that price at three thousand golds. The temple does not pay for slaves, at least not in one lump sum. As long as I remain a slave they give my owner fifty percent of the sum that is paid for me, to deliver a message."
"Since I have never been more than one hundred miles from Corson, as the message from the temple Priest told you, I haven't earned much money toward my price, and it will probably be years before I have a chance to earn any substantial sums. Once I have earned my freedom price, then I get twenty percent of the fees charged."
"I'm sorry, I hate to do this to a kid, but I have an urgent message that must be delivered. If I have got it right the ritual request is, 'Messenger, I request that you deliver a message for me.'"
Kith smiled, "That is the phrase most commonly used, but actually no ritual is required. Just asking me is sufficient. As long as our God Flarston accepts the message then we deliver it." He held up his wrist and Turc could see the jewel in the middle of the bracelet was glowing. "Where is the message going."
"The County of Wymark, Regent of Wymark, Kalli Senson." Turc said. Kith looked at him completely flabbergasted. "You realize how much that will cost, it's one gold a mile inside Varryn, and two golds a mile outside, and that's there and back. It'll cost almost four thousand golds for the entire trip, and since most of it will be outside Varryn, I'll need expenses as well."
Turc took several pieces of paper out of his pouch, which Kith recognized as the special script, the Bank of Varryn issued, and counted out six of them and handed them to the boy, who placed them on the glowing jewel of the bracelet and they disappeared.
"Can you do that with any paper, I thought the messages you carried were mainly verbal." Turc asked with interest.
"We're limited to about a dozen sheets in total, it's mainly for script, maps and things like that." said Kith, "as you say the messages are generally verbal, but they don't have to be, as long as you remain under the total limit of pages that I can carry."
Turc took a piece of thickly folded paper out of his pouch and unfolded it to reveal three pages showing the faces of three men. Kith took them and looked at each and then placed them in the jewel without comment. "Your message, do you want it to be private, or does it matter. If not start anytime."
Turc, "More and more surprising all the time. No it doesn't matter. Dear Kalli, this is your Uncle Turc, I'm in a country called Varryn which is about twelve hundred miles south of where you live. I have been fortunate, at least I hope it's fortunate to discover that before the Count of Wymark died, he was able to get a message off to Varryn, where he banked much of the money that he got out of Camron. His representative here was authorized to hire assassins to kill you and your children. I am sending this message by a Bonded Messenger, they represent a small sect that worships. Flarston, Bonded Messengers will take messages anywhere as long as they are paid the appropriate sum and Flarston approves. When they are carrying a message they are protected by Flarston personally, the only God I have been able to find who actively intervenes in Lythean life. The other Gods do not object because mostly the Bonded Messengers are confined to Varryn and only rarely travel outside of it. The Messenger has sketches of the three assassins hired to do the job. If you can manage to survive, you should be safe, because I have been informed that the money spent on the assassins has drained the account Count Wymark set up here. Your Loving Uncle Turc Senson
Kith said, "Message memorized. Do you wish me to repeat it or any portion of it."
Just out of curiosity, Turc asked, "Repeat the ten words starting from the forty-first word from the end, before Your Loving Uncle."
Kith repeated the ten words requested.
"All right, I didn't really think you had forgotten I was just curious. The reason it's so urgent is that the assassins found out that I might know about them. If I head north, then they'll be sure." Kith started to say something. "I know if they're watching the inn and saw you, and realize that you're a Bonded Messenger, then that will make them sure as well. However I'm not alone here, I have a dozen of my best men with me and half were watching the inn, the other half are watching the assassins."
"There's a ship leaving for Tenve in Scart on the outgoing tide, I want to make sure that you're on it and I intend to make sure the assassins aren't." Kith just nodded, not caring how he planned to stop the assassins.
It was about nine PM and the ship was sailing on the tide, and Kith was a passenger. And the captain was royally pissed by that fact. Being a Varryn ship Kith was traveling for free, and as usual he was being ignored. Being a slave, even the ship's boys thought themselves above him, despite his divine connection, and besides being told to get out of the way, he didn't expect to hear any talk addressed to him, during the entire trip.
He curled up, out of the way on the hard deck, and went to sleep. In the morning he got his portion of the bad food and went out on deck to eat it. The deck was too hot to sit on, but with the leather hard soles of his feet, he didn't find it too bad being on his feet as long as he didn't stay in one place for long. So during the moving he kept moving, again getting a share of food at noon, and then spending the afternoon in the same manner as he had spent the morning.
About an hour before supper, the lookout called down from the crow's nest that he could see another sail on the horizon. Kith could see everyone was apprehensive wondering if it might be a pirate vessel. As it came closer, they see could that's exactly what it was. The ships boys looked at it with excitement. They knew they would not be hurt. They would just be trading one ship for another, or at worst, they would end up as slaves.
A few of the crew might also end up as crew members on the pirate ship, but most of them would end up dead, so they raised as much sail as they could. When they could see that they were not drawing away, the weapons were brought up from below and the men prepared to sell their lives dearly.
Kith, along with the ships boys, and four crewmen who's lives had been spared, watched the burning ship they had been on, go to the bottom. He turned to look at the captain of the pirate ship. Unlike most of his men, he was clean shaven and well groomed, but his face showed that he was a vicious as any of his crew, and much more dangerous.
Kith walked up to the captain. He looked up at the man, and said, "We will be going to Tenve, in Scart, Have your men set sail in that direction."
The captain snarled, "Who do you think you are, you little whelp." and he swung his fist at the boy, intending to teach him a lesson he would not forget. His eyes widened when his hand just stopped, three inches from the boy's head. If he'd been holding a weapon the stop would have been a jolt.
Kith pointed the arm with the bracelet at the sails, and a beam of light arced out from it to touch the sail, and where it hit, the sail burst into flame. As quickly as it had started the beam and the fire stopped. Kith said, "We are going to Tenve. If you do not give the order, I will set fire to your sails, and you will be drifting, ready for any passing ship to snap you up, or in the end perhaps run ashore."
After questioning those survivors from the Varryn ship, and finding out that Kith was a servant of the one God who actively interfered in normal life, the captain headed to Tenve, which was a little further than he would normally go just to get rid of a cargo, but he had been there before and didn't expect any trouble. Despite the fact that the rulership had changed hands since he had last been there, and that there was now a Princess instead of a Prince, he was able to sell his cargo much as he had been accustomed to doing. He found the tax was a little higher than it had been, but it wasn't a great deal more, and since he had gotten the cargo for nothing it didn't cut into any profit margins.
The survivors of the Varryn crew were watched while they were in port, but they didn't have any problems with working for a new captain, and the whole crew was glad to see the back of Kith as he walked up the gangplank, not even looking back.
Kith wandered the wharfs for a while, hoping that there would be a ship heading for a Camron port. The only ship that he found that was heading for Camron, had just pulled in and had a cargo to unload and then had to find another cargo, and had some minor repairs to make, so they would be at least four or five days, and might be a week or longer before they left. The urgent nature of the message that he was carrying, meant that Kith would have to start spending some of the expense money that he had been provided with. It took a little searching before he found someone willing to answer questions posed by a slaveboy, but he finally found a sailor who didn't object to his status, and he inquired the way to the temple of the Mother Goddess.
He did not go into the public portion of the temple but headed for the private quarters. He rung the gong that announced guests, and the door was opened by a doorkeeper, a young novice. Seeing that it was just a slaveboy, she was about to close the door in his face when Kith used the bracelet again, to burn a hole in the floor, a couple of inches deep.
The novice stared down at the perfect circle burned into the floor at her feet and took a second look at Kith. He said softly, "It's not a good idea to judge a person, just from the way they look. Please fetch a Priestess or a Priest. Please tell them there is a Bonded Messenger of Flarston at the door."
She looked down at the hole, knowing she would be disciplined. She had made a presumption, and that was against the tenants of the Mother-Goddess. Without a word, and leaving the door open she went to fetch someone in authority. He ended up in the presence the Chief Priestess of the temple.
While not from Varryn, she had read all the books available on the countries immediately surrounding Scart, and knew what a Bonded Messenger was without having to consult written records.
Respecting Kith as she would any servant of the Gods, she asked, "What may I do for you, little one. It is unusual to find one of your kind outside of Varryn, though since we are so close here, it is not uncommon. The doorkeeper should have known about you. She will be disciplined for discourtesy, but we will have to find out whether she neglected her studies, or if someone didn't provide her with the proper information, before we decide whether any other punishment is warranted."
Kith placed a hand on his bracelet and handed her one of the Varryn scripts, he had been provided for expenses. Since the sender hadn't asked for privacy, Kith was able to mention a little about his message. "I have a message to deliver, to a County in Camron. It is an urgent message, about an assassination attempt, and there are no ships leaving for there for at least several days, possibly a week. The message can't wait for that long. I wish to hire a fast carriage, to go the rest of the way. I would have your temple hire it for me, and perhaps if you have any Priests or Priestesses who must go to Camron, they will provide company," and smiling, "and a banner proclaiming, that the passengers are all of a religious order. That will save any problem, about crossing the borders."
"I know that your services are expensive, why not use a Far-speaker?" she inquired.
Kith giggled, "I'm afraid you're guilty of presumption, Priestess. Mind-speech is just as common as in the rest of Lythea. We don't know if Flarston changes the talent to another, or if the other Gods do so. but there are no Far-speakers in Varryn. Also while the Astral Spirit can be invoked in Varryn it is limited to a maximum of about twenty miles even for Great Mages."
She looked surprised and a little embarrassed, "That was not written in any of the books that I have read. I will make sure that fact is written down and conveyed to the rest of the religious orders as well. As for companions, we do have a couple of Priestesses and one Priest traveling to Camron, and while we cannot pay based on the amount that a fast carriage will cost, we can pay a portion based on what it would cost to take a wagon or a ship."
His companions had reached their destination, a hundred miles back and Kith was alone as he passed through the gate in the carriage. If the servant who opened the carriage door was surprised to find a nude slaveboy, he made no indication of that fact. He conveyed the boy into the Great Hall with great aplomb.
Being very practical, Kalli and her two sons and their tutor were sitting at the high table, having lessons. Kalli looked up and despite seeing the slave collar, she got up and tapping her eldest son on the shoulder, he also rose and she came around the table to greet their guest.
Before she could say anything, her son, burst out, "Why are you naked. You're much older than me, an " Kalli snapped, "Forsen." cutting him off in mid-word. He tilted his head back and looked at his mother.
Unhappily, he said, "I'm in trouble, aren't I, Mama?"
"Yes," said Kalli, "Do you know what you did wrong?" He thought for a minute, "I was discourteous, Mama, we hadn't even greeted him, when I started asking question."
"The questions were impolite as well, what you asked is none of your business. If you have a chance to get to know him, then the questions you asked might be all right, but not when you don't even know his name. Do you wish your punishment to be later, in private or here, now."
He bit his lip, thinking, looking at Kith, he saw sympathy on the older boy's face. "Now, I want to get it over with and he should see me being punished, since I was discourteous and impolite to him."
She gave him a little push, "All right, go over to Phyl, for your punishment." When he was standing in front of his tutor, and his cousin, Phyl Senson, he unbuckled his belt and let his short trousers fall to his feet, and stepped out of them. Phyl bent Forsen over his knees and taking a short strap from the table, he gave the boy half a dozen strokes on his bare bottom.
Knowing from experience just what a belt or a strap sounded like on bare flesh, Kith could tell that the strokes weren't very hard, but when Forsen stood up he still had a sore bum, which he was rubbing ruefully.
Kalli said, "Now that you've been punished, and you are aware of what you did wrong, you may leave your trousers off for the rest of the day, unless we receive other guests."
Forsen's face which only had a few tears, lit up and he rubbed the tears off of his face. Kalli explained, to Kith. "He only turned seven last month, and started wearing clothes, but he still prefers to be naked. The reason I'm so strict with Forsen and for that matter Kanen though he's much younger, is that I was Count Wymark's mistress, not his wife, therefore both boys are illegitimate, and unless they have impeccable manners, it could cause problems for them later, so they must learn now."
Kith nodded his understanding, "I am a Bonded Messenger, and I have a message for you from your uncle." He placed his hand on the jeweled bracelet, and in his treble voice, which had an echo of Turc Senson he began to speak 'Dear Kalli, this is your Uncle Turc, I'm in a country called Varryn which is about twelve hundred miles south of where you live. I have been fortunate, at least I hope it's fortunate to discover that before the Count of Wymark died, he was able to get a message off to Varryn, where he banked much of the money that he got out of Camron. His representative here was authorized to hire assassins to kill you and your children. I am sending this message by a Bonded Messenger, they represent a small sect that worships. Flarston, Bonded Messengers will take messages anywhere as long as they are paid the appropriate sum and Flarston approves. When they are carrying a message, they are protected by Flarston personally, the only God I have been able to find who actively intervenes in Lythean life. The other Gods do not object because mostly the Bonded Messengers are confined to Varryn and only rarely travel outside of it. The Messenger has sketches of the three assassins hired to do the job. If you can manage to survive, you should be safe, because I have been informed that the money spent on the assassins has drained the account Count Wymark set up here. Your Loving Uncle Turc Senson' Touching the jewel of his bracelet, to retrieve the sketches, Kith handed them to her.
"My uncle isn't an alarmist, how serious does he think the threat is?" she asked Kith.
"My Lady, we are very expensive messengers. The cost to deliver the message and for the return journey will be almost four thousand golds, and he provided me with an additional two thousand golds for expenses. I would say he regarded it very seriously." Kith said, earnestly.
Kith decided to stay at the castle for a while, but he arranged with Kalli to pay off the carriage. If he stayed close to the children, he could at least give them some protection, since until he returned with the payment to the temple the message wasn't considered delivered and Flarston would warn him if there was any danger. For the first time in his life, he had time to play. He was interested in the model of the castle that had been made by the carpenter, which duplicated the castle in miniature, and he was very amused by the trouble Kalli had in keeping Forsen inside of his short trousers instead of out.
He discovered that though Forsen was beaten quite often, they were fairly light beatings, most noble children were beaten much more often and much harder. He did witness several others, Forsen with an insatiable curiously, seemed incapable of staying out of trouble. Kanen, since he was a couple of years younger was given a bit more leeway, and he seemed more able to stay within the bounds than Forsen did.
He satisfied Forsen's curiosity about why he was naked. That while slavery didn't exist in Camron, there was a treaty between Camron and Varryn, that a citizen of Varryn could bring up to three personal slaves into the country if they were willing to pay twenty percent of their value each year in tax to the Camron crown. He himself was naked because he was a servant of Flarston and when he had gone into the service of the God, his owner had not agreed to give him to the temple as was the custom, but demanded he be paid three thousand golds as Kith's price.
Since he had no owner with him, in fact Kith was not a slave in Camron, and if he chose to stay there he could have removed his slave collar anytime he wished. As a servant of Flarston however, he had to return to Varryn and the collar and his nudity served to remind him that he was still a slave in Varryn, and several other of Varryn's allies, and that he shouldn't start doing things in other countries which would earn him severe punishment in Varryn.
The assassins showed up about a week later, and if Kalli hadn't known they were coming, they could have been very dangerous, and several of the men sent by Kalli to make them quietly disappear, ended up dying themselves. But in the end, though the assassins didn't disappear quite as quietly as Kalli had wanted, they did indeed disappear, and no questions were asked by the Royal bureaucracy. Prince Tamen and the rest of the Royal family considered assassins fair game.
If Count Wymark had still been alive, he would have made his way somehow to Varryn and strangled his agent personally. He had specified, Camron assassins be hired, and the agent, both lazy and greedy had ignored that part of the instructions.
About a week after the assassins disappeared, Turc Senson and his men showed up, They had been trying to follow the assassins, but through no fault of their own had been delayed. Turc was relieved that Kith had delivered the message in plenty of time, and he was aware of why the boy had stayed.
Turc said to the boy, "You can keep the rest of the script that I gave you."
Kith looked up at him seriously, "I can't do that. You made a deal through me, with a Priest of the temple of Flarston, and once made it can't be altered. Even if you had made the deal directly with a priest, not even he could alter it. I can't even return the script for one thousand golds that you gave me. I must return all money received to the Priest in charge of Bonded Messengers. They will arrange for you to receive the money back. But I want to thank you, This trip will pay off almost two thousand golds of my purchase price, and since I completed it successfully, I will be trusted as much as any other Bonded Messenger, so that I should be able to pay the remainder off fairly quickly."
He shook Forsen's hand and was surprised when the boy gave him a quick hug. Forsen said, "How many times do you think I'll get whipped before you get home."
Kith considered it, "At least half a dozen times."
Kalli said dryly, "You can't be going very far then."
She and Turc laughed and Kith giggled, while Forsen looked puzzled. He said goodbye to Kanen last, and being a very demonstrative five year old, he put his arms around Kith's neck and gave him kiss on the cheek. Kith waved at them from the seat of the wagon which Kalli had hired to take him to the nearest port, where he could get in touch with one of the religious orders to turn some of the remaining script into enough money to pay for his passage home by ship.
He put his hand on the glowing jewel of the bracelet and handed the remaining script to the Priest responsible for Bonded Messengers. As soon as the Priest took the script in his hand the jewel stopped glowing and his assignment was over.
He was glad it had ended well for the Wymarks. For the first time in his life he had not been treated like a slave and he was pretty sure he had gained a friend in Forsen. Even most of the Priests of the temple tended to look down on him because of what he was.
He headed to his small room in the temple complex to write a letter to Forsen. Since he had no money to pay for its delivery he would go to the temple of the Mother-Goddess to ask for it to be delivered. Eventually it would reach Forsen. If he answered, he would know he had a friend.

Interview with Michael Sansolo, Co-Author of The Big Picture
Countless studies and years of work with some of the world's most innovative companies have given Michael Sansolo a unique and diverse view of the changing nature of trends impacting shoppers, employees, competition, economics, supply chains and management. A long-time senior vice president of the Food Marketing Institute and now a consultant, speaker and author, Sansolo has traveled the globe working with companies on adjusting to new market conditions.
Sansolo recently co-authored The Big Picture: Essential Business Lessons from the Movies, a book that identifies creative lessons in leadership, marketing and workplace dynamics gleaned from movies as varied as The Godfather and Young Frankenstein. Topics in the book include: ethics, brand building, crisis management, outside-the-box thinking, diversity and more. He is also a contributing author to Shopper Marketing, a collaborative book produced by writers from around the world that examines the dynamics of shopper choices. Sansolo also writes a weekly column on wide-ranging business trends for www.MorningNewsBeat.com, a daily blog with nearly 28,000 readers.
Sansolo is a frequent speaker and moderator at conferences and company meetings in the United States and around the globe, addressing crowds from 20 to 5,000; from college students to CEOs of Fortune 100 organizations. He conducts strategic planning retreats for companies and has designed conferences for a number of trade associations, including the widely acclaimed FMI Future Connect leadership conference.
Welcome to The Writer's Life, Michael. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and how long you've been writing?
Answer: Right out of college I found work on a local daily newspaper, which even 30 years later I look back on as my favorite job. The pay was lousy and the hours were worse, but the chance to write so much and get decent editing and direction helped me grow as a writer.
Although newspapers are long in my past, the lessons have never been lost. I approach all projects with a reporter's eyes, asking questions, listening for answers and looking for what's new. My career working with the food industry has allowed me to travel the world, see how people shop, cook and eat in far away places and meet marvelous people. But those reporter skills are always with me and always serve me well.
Can you please tell us about your book and why you wrote it?
Answer: Individuals and businesses who can best tell their story or narratives have a huge advantage in the world of business. My co-author, Kevin Coupe, and I believe that story telling is an important art, but one that many people cannot easily handle.
The goal of the book is to help everyone find stories that can explain what they do, what they aspire to do and what they hope to encourage those around them to do. Good movies tell wonderful stories and they are an easy medium for folks to use.
The book offers 50-plus short chapters, highlighting the essential (and sometimes unexpected) lessons from popular movies. We think these stories can provide anyone in business or the workforce with easy metaphors to make a complex point that will help them build sales, profits, career opportunities and success.
Plus, it can help you find the words for important moral lessons that too often are ignored or unmentioned in business. That includes finding your passion, learning to listen to opposing views and, of course, finding the wisdom and courage to do the right thing.
We think people will find these to be important lessons talked about in an easy and approachable manner.
What were some of the biggest challenges you faced writing it?
Answer: Obviously we had to re-watch a lot of movies and we had to make sure we were always stretched beyond the obvious. For example, many people know the movie A League of Their Own and think the chapter is about the most famous line: "There's no crying in baseball." Instead, we went in a different direction with that movie and many others.
Beyond that, a book requires an incredible sense of collaboration, especially when two people share the task. Kevin and I had to make certain we were maintaining similar standards of insight, story telling and creativity. We talked constantly and worked hard to make sure a reader will not notice whose words they are actually reading at that moment. (Plus we had light-hearted battles over who got to write about specific movies we both loved.)
In addition, the coordination with the editor and publisher is essential. We were on the same page with them about 50% of the time, but business requires that you quickly fix the other 50% and make decisions without ego that benefit the overall project.
Writing a book requires far more effort and focus than I think most people believe. The quality and energy can never lag. The story telling, even in a book of short chapters like this, must be consistently strong.
Do you have a press kit and what do you include in it? Does this press kit appear online and, if so, can you provide a link to where we can see it?
Answer: We have an incredible amount of information through our publisher. Please check www.brigantinemedia.com/bigpicture. Because Kevin and I do lots of public speaking and media work you can also find articles about us, interviews and more.
Have you either spoken to groups of people about your book or appeared on radio or TV? What are your upcoming plans for doing so?
Answer: Kevin and I have both been on the public speaking circuit for years, although our topics in the past have been all business. Now, we talk about the lessons of the books. We are constantly booked for events ranging in size from 20 people to thousands, from college students to company CEOS. You can find loads of information about us on our personal websites: MichaelSansolo.com or KevinCoupe.com.
We both have extensive experience in radio and television.
Do you have an agent and, if so, would you mind sharing who he/is is? If not, have you ever had an agent or do you even feel it's necessary to have one?
Answer: While many speakers' bureaus work with us, our book representation is done mostly with Brigantine Media and the Cadence Group.
We're both baseball fans so we're certainly open to talking with Scott Boras about A-Rod type money!
Did you, your agent or publisher prepare a media blitz before the book came out and would you like to tell us about it?
Answer: We've tried to approach this on every front. Our publisher, working with the Cadence Group, has been working the world of publishing blogs and media to get Kevin and me exposure. In fact, that's how we found your website and we're delighted to have this opportunity.
Kevin and I are also working with local media or any other contacts we have to get attention for the book. It's humbling in this experience, but you have to be willing (and able) to get out and sell your book. Even Sarah Palin and Dan Brown have to do book tours. They just get to do it in first class style.
In our case, we're working the phones and the web as best as possible.
Do you plan subsequent books?
Answer: Having done one we both have a sense of what it takes and honestly, I'd be delighted to travel this route again. The first was such a learning experience and while I love the book I think I can work better and more effectively on subsequent efforts.
I'm hoping time and the market will allow me to write many additional books.
Thank you for your interview, Michael. Would you like to tell my readers where they can find you on the web and how everyone can buy your book?
Answer: Thanks for this opportunity. You can find the book at www.brigantinemedia.com/bigpicture or, of course, on Amazon.

Author's Notes: Trying to expand my horizons with this one; can't keep writing Team 7 angst, can I? Warnings for many, many run-on sentences. Information from the anime filler arcs has also been ignored.
watch the sky →
You live the life you're given with the storms outside;
Some days all we do is watch the sky.
- watch the sky © something corporate
Ino doesn't turn up for Shikamaru's funeral.
Instead, she lies on his roof, blonde hair fanning out behind her. He had told her once, that she looked pretty okay with her hair let down. She'd slapped him on the arm and told him to go flirt with Temari instead, leaving him completely bewildered because he'd merely stated a fact that was so obvious to him. It had been someone's birthday party, and she remembers that he stalked off muttering that women were just too troublesome.
Today, she wears her hair down for him.
There is an unlit cigarette hanging from the corner of her mouth – she doesn't think it's very healthy to chew cancer-sticks, but it beats smoking them, she's sure. But it's getting pretty soggy and disgusting, so she decides to light it anyway. The first match breaks when she strikes it, the second burns her fingers. She finally gets it on the third try and puts her face near the flame gingerly to light her cigarette. They've done this before, all three members of Team 10. The white smoke wafts around lazily as she looks up at the sky, breathing in her late teacher's familiar scent. It reminds her of Shikamaru too, because he'd often smelled like this after returning from a particularly taxing mission.
Ino has never been a very good medic, as compared to her fellow kunoichi. Her not-so-best friend's talent is flourishing nicely in the medical field, because of her excellent chakra control and firm stitches. Who would've guessed that Forehead would actually end up being one of the best in her field? The head of the Hyuuga house has her plants and her salves that soothe even the worst of burns. Even Tenten, the master of all things sharp, is adept in healing her team-mates. And that's why Ino is glad that she hadn't been the medic assigned to Shikamaru's team, because she doesn't need to feel guilty about his death this way. She is not full of aspirations like the other girls, because she is fully aware of her limitations – she is definite that she couldn't have saved him.
Her blue eyes mirror the sky above her. She's never understood Shikamaru's love for lazing around on roof-tops, but now she thinks she can, just a little. Maybe all that sky-watching had helped him to develop his genius mind. Ino just thinks that the clouds are pretty and form all sorts of patterns as the spring winds blow through them.
The sun is already setting when Chouji finds her and asks her why she didn't go for the funeral in an angry tone. She turns away from him.
"It's too troublesome," she says in classic Shikamaru fashion, except that she's Ino and not Shikamaru and the team is falling apart – there's only two of them left – and Chouji starts to cry for the two of them until there are no tears left, and his throat is all sore. Ino doesn't cry, because she has to be strong. So she hugs Chouji to her chest and strokes his hair like a mother comforting her son and whispers soothing words into his ear.
Before long, the sun has disappeared and the sky is darkening. Chouji is lying on the tiles next to her, and they're watching the light disappear from the sky. The pack of cigarettes has been used up, and the Asuma-sensei-and-Shikamaru scent is dissipating into the air.
"There's never going to be another Ino-Shika-Chou," she murmurs suddenly as she sits up, eyes wide with realization.
"But you have Ino-Shika in there," Chouji says in return, his eyes disappearing into slits as he smiles at her. His chubby index finger is pointing at her tummy-area, and she reels back a little to stare at him. Her only team-mate knows about the late-night trysts and drunken nights that mainly consisted of her getting drunk and Shikamaru holding her hair back as she puked on the pavement. He knows about their first time on a freaking roof-top, of all places. She'd been ashamed of how desperate she had been, but now she understands that she'd done it because she'd been yearning for his touch for almost fourteen years. Chouji probably even knows that Shikamaru had asked her to marry him the day before he left for that dreadful mission as they lay under the stars, watching the sky.
It's only then, that she allows herself to cry.
End Notes: The last part really just popped out of nowhere. Feedback on my first Team 10 fic would be very nice.

Have you tried here?
Spelling Help
You may be right.
You may be wright.
Dear all
I asked this question some days ago, but I didn't get a good and perfect reply. Please tell me the answer.
The difference between (may)and(might) in meaning . For example:
A.You may be wright .
B.You might be wright .
A.The attorney may be late .
B.The attorney might be late .
What's their exact difference in meaning and usage?
Have you tried here?
Spelling Help
You may be right.
You may be wright.
The difference between 'may' and 'might' is marginal. Both are used to show 'possibiliy'. The possibility in 'may' is greater than in 'might'. Therefore, 'the attorney may be late' means he is close to being late whilst 'the attorney might be late' shows distant or remote possibilty. Let's say 'may' is 70 per cent possible and 'might' 40 per cent possible. Furthermore, 'may' is formal whilst 'might' is often informal.

Stossel: The flaws in Common Core
**Written by Doug Powers
At Reason.com, John Stossel has a good column about Common Core educational standards. In part of the article, Stossel discusses math problems that are worded in a way so as to be almost intentionally confusing in order to be able to awards points just for effort:
Common Core de-emphasizes correct answers by awarding kids points for reasoning, even when they don't quite get there.
A video went viral online that showed a worried mom, Karen Lamoreaux—a member of the group Arkansas Against Common Core—complaining to the Arkansas Board of Education about complicatedly worded math problems meant for fourth-graders. She read to the Board this question: "Mr. Yamato's class has 18 students. If the class counts around by a number and ends with 90, what number did they count by?"
Here's the video Stossel referred to:
A few days ago I ran across a similar example. This question is found in Houghton-Mifflin-Harcourt's Common Core "Math Expressions" on page 166 (PDF). Not horrible until you realize this is a problem for second graders:
Second grade math #commoncore What on earth? #stopcommoncore pic.twitter.com/F5T2aXsFxf
— Margie Busby (@MargieBusby) December 27, 2013
Do the people who write Common Core curriculum get paid by the word?
Also, Common Core proponents like to say the program is "voluntary," and as Stossel also points out, yes, it is — as long as the school system(s) declining to use the standards don't mind giving up federal funding.

Integrity issued a statement on its position on the inclusion of crimes of corruption by the provisions of the amnesty law
Thursday, 18 August 2016 14:27
Alsumaria News / Baghdad
Issued Integrity Commission, on Thursday, a statement on its position on the inclusion of crimes of corruption by the provisions of the amnesty law, and in believing that this is a waste of efforts in the fight against corruption, considered that the inclusion of these crimes law will generate the audacity to repeat the corrupt overtaking on public money.
The authority said in a statement received Alsumaria News, a copy of it, that "the inclusion of some or most of the corruption crimes amnesty law is a waste of effort painstaking and persistent efforts by the national regulatory agencies in the fight against corruption, and perhaps lead to get the despair and frustration among the relevant field of the fight against corruption, given because the issues that they have made the strenuous efforts and for several years has been the release of the perpetrators. "
She added that "the inclusion of these crimes amnesty law will generate the audacity with corrupt repeat overtaking on public funds and committing corruption crimes because they knew there was a continuing intentions lead to a buyout, an amnesty law," pointing out that "the amnesty laws are based on the legislative philosophy stems from the public interest conditions of the community, and here we do not find any wisdom or philosophy justify intercalation of corruption crimes in the amnesty law in the current circumstances, since the situation is going through Iraqi society and needs calls for the fight against corruption as a priority for the community, and the release of some or most of the perpetrators of crimes of corruption will serve as a fatal blow to the aspirations of society and wasted each claim to fight corruption votes. "
She explained that "what is stated in certain paragraphs of the draft general amnesty law for the inclusion of crimes of corruption by its provisions with the exception of crimes of embezzlement and theft of state is included trials funds pardon only after the recovery of public money, could be discussed that the law has been included in the proposed amendment to this paragraph, all crimes of corruption amnesty was not required recover public money, the only condition to recover public money in those crimes on the one hand, and on the other hand, the idea of recovery of public money can be discussed through the need to search in the new legal mechanisms to ensure the recovery of public money from convicted of corruption crimes without resorting to a general amnesty. "
The agency said that "all countries in the world that have passed similar circumstances to envelop Iraq quo growing phenomenon of corruption has taken strict measures against this phenomenon represented inflicting maximum penalties against perpetrators of corruption and its emphasis crimes until you reach in the laws of some countries to the death penalty, and not resort to issuing an amnesty for the perpetrators of these crimes. "
The Commission noted that "on the basis of this justification, legal and social causes, the body was and as it comes out rejects the idea of the inclusion of crimes of corruption amnesty law," asserting that "the final say in that it is up to the distinguished Council of Representatives."
She warned the MP for the coalition of state law in Firdous al-Awadi, (17 August 2016), it is an attempt to "reward terrorists" convicted by a draft of the amnesty law, stressing the need to address the national forces for it.
It referred to the House Speaker Salim al-detection, in (15 August 2016), for "agreement" for a general amnesty law, while noting that the law will be printed in its current form as a prelude to a vote.

Kelly Clarkson "My December" Album Cover
Kelly Clarkson's album cover from her forthcoming My December has arrived.
The release of her "harder edge" third album has been pushed up to June 26th. The LA Times has already reviewed My December.
Here's a snippet:
"My December" is all about Clarkson's voice – and not only the succulent, slightly dark timbre of her alto, or her ability to nail those shirt-ripping high notes that say "freedom" in rock 'n' roll speak. The lyrics, many inspired by a bout of despair Clarkson suffered at the height of her newfound fame, are genuinely heart-baring.
What do you think of Kelly's new album look?
