So I got a bit distracted by Malign Portents muster and managed to paint and collect a small Ironjawz army.
Now that distraction is out of the way it's back to the Overlords. Here's what's on my desk at the moment.


So, after you do the quest that sends Miss Owens to the Sabota Skyway, she no longer stands at the Mooshu Stormgate. The quest "A Lady Set Adrift" requires you to talk to her in the Mooshu Stormgate, but you can't. Can you please fix this so I can get that quest outta my book?

Vancouver architect unveils plan for world's largest wood tower
Kerry Gold
Published April 23, 2019 Updated April 25, 2019

Peter Busby, the architect best known for a long and storied career of sustainable design, sits in the boardroom of his firm's downtown Vancouver office across from developer Bruce Langereis, where they discuss their vision to build the world's largest wood tower.
They propose a 35- or 40-storey, mixed-use tower that would be a major feat – and not just a feat of wood technology, or convincing consumers to move beyond their appetite for concrete construction. If it passes the lengthy rezoning process, it would dwarf the neighbouring buildings of Burrard Slopes, between Kitsilano to the west and South Granville to the east.
Mr. Langereis is usually excited about his projects, but this collaboration with Mr. Busby to build the world's tallest wood tower and North America's greenest has him talking about revolutionizing his own industry, which has been complicit in contributing to climate change. Mr. Busby is global design principal at Perkins + Will in Vancouver, which has offices around the world.
"I share this because I think it's profound," Mr. Langereis says. "I have been visiting a local river here for 15 years and it's been a gold mine for sport fly fishing, catch and release. And I've watched the river in 10 to 15 years go from this mecca to 'what happened?' Things are changing. I see it before my very eyes. And through working with Perkins + Will and the team and Peter, I've realized we [developers] are bad people. The developers are a big part of the problem."
Mr. Langereis, a former amateur freestyle skiing champion, has been in the real estate and development industry for more than 25 years. He is president of Delta Land Development, which added a 48-storey tower onto the Georgia Hotel heritage building that included an $18-million penthouse. The company has also developed several towers in Coal Harbour. He has never marketed his condos to offshore buyers, he says, and he's not about to start.
About four years ago, Delta Land purchased an old concrete bank operations centre, which looks like a bunker on half a city block, at 1745 W. 8th Avenue at Pine Street.

"I don't think a lot of us realize that almost 40 per cent of the annual carbon [emissions] is based on construction and operation," he continues. "I came to these guys and I went to my investor group and said, 'We have got to change.' I'm not going to be here forever developing buildings – I'm 60-years-old now. What I realized over time is that we were having an impact."
Mr. Langereis says when he approached Mr. Busby and his team they were initially taken aback.
"I walked in and said, 'My goals are simple: I want to make sure I have a functional and economically viable building. But other than that, you have no limitation. You guys can lead and guide me as long as you do this in parameters that make sense and are not foolish and somebody wants it.'"
They came up with a plan to build "Canada's Earth Tower," which would have 170 market units and some more affordable units, such as co-op housing. It would be made out of as much engineered wood as possible, with only a concrete core and minimal amount of drywall.
"It's the tallest we think we can technically make with wood today," Mr. Busby says. "We believe we can go somewhere between 35 and 40 storeys."
They plan to take energy standards to an unprecedented level, with a rigorously high passive house envelope of about a foot-thick to reduce energy consumption. The building will mostly be made out of cross-laminated timbers (CLT) and dowel laminated timbers (DLT), manufactured in B.C. and culled from damaged trees.
"We want a zero carbon building in operation," Mr. Busby says.
Their building would be a testament to the potential of wood construction, which fits nicely with B.C. Premier John Horgan's recent announcement to support the emerging engineered wood industry. The plan would not only help replace highly unsustainable concrete in construction (responsible for an estimated eight per cent of all carbon emissions worldwide), but generate local jobs. The province also announced plans to support the national building code to allow for wood building construction up to 12 storeys. For a building to go higher than the code for mass timber, a peer review process that proves the project meets the intent of the code is currently required.

If given the green light, Mr. Busby says the technology is there to go much higher than 12 storeys. New advancements have made timber structures as strong as concrete and fire retardant. It's the same principle as throwing a log onto a campfire. It won't burn because the carbon associated with combustion forms a layer which stops the fire, Mr. Busby says.
"It will self-extinguish. That's the methodology of doing tall-wood construction. You don't cover it with fire protection; you add an extra three-quarter inch in all dimensions. That's the sacrificial layer."
Although several developers are building low- and mid-rise wood construction, the wood tower has been slow to evolve. When asked why the development community has resisted, Mr. Langereis says it's a matter of building what you know.
"I think a lot of it is there isn't an awareness of what the impact is, and you're just a creature of habit. You are a machine," he says of developers. "And frankly speaking, there hasn't been policy or incentive to try to change your behaviour."
Mr. Busby interjects: "Generally speaking, developers are conservative people. They are playing with tens of millions of dollars. They have a bank backstopping them. They are not going to go out on a limb. They are going to do what they know, and they will do it again and again because they made money last time."
Adds Mr. Langereis: "They are okay at jumping through hoops but they are not smashing boards."
The building will offer 20 per cent affordable housing, although Mr. Langereis concedes that "affordable" is a relative term. The proposition is an expensive one – Mr. Langereis says it will cost "tens of millions more than a conventional concrete structure. And there are other hurdles.
There is a belief that concrete construction is superior, which is still a public relations battle for wood construction.
"It's a risk I am prepared to take," Mr. Langereis says. "There are 150 [market] units [in the building] and I believe there are 150 Tesla buyers out there that will buy this."
To make it viable, he says he'd prefer not to charge a premium, but not everyone who wants green is willing to pay for it, he adds.
Mr. Busby adds that he might be one of them.
"I am a candidate to live in this building. I can sell my west side house and pay a premium because I want to live carbon free."
To get costs down is a matter of mainstreaming wood construction and making it part of the competitive developer-driven landscape, Mr. Busby says.
"The way costs come down is he is the pioneer, he gets one built, the city says to all the other developers, 'If he can do it, you can do it, so get on with it.' Then costs will come down."
The other potential hurdle is the current zoning only allows for buildings of about 14 storeys. The tower would stand out among a sea of low-rise and mid-rise buildings.
"Right now this looks taller but eventually there is going to be density along Broadway transit, and this is meant to fit into what we forecast is going to be more typical for height there," he says.
They are in early discussions with the city and have yet to submit an application for rezoning. They say city staff have reacted positively so far, but there is a long way to go in terms of feedback from the public and the city approvals process.
Sean Pander, an engineer and planner, is the city's Green Building program manager, and he says Vancouver leads the way in a lot of wood innovation design and engineering. He contributed to a new Climate Emergency Report that includes a target to reduce "embodied" emissions to do with the construction of buildings by 40 per cent by 2030. The report went to council on April 24.
"That leads us to one of the most important strategies moving forward, which will be to encourage and get out of the way of mass-timber construction," Mr. Pander says. "These big leadership projects that come forward that can fit, they take some risks, but they help shape [the industry]. The more you start making it, the more you start using it, and the faster those costs come down for those products."
That said, the 35- to 40-storey height would be a bigger obstacle than the wood construction, Mr. Pander says. Zoning, neighbourhood fit and affordability are major considerations for the city too.
"The biggest challenge for a project of exceptional height is how does it fit with the broader neighbourhood? The Broadway corridor is a really important corridor in the city, and we are embarking on what the community and the neighbours want in that neighbourhood," Mr. Pander says. "Sustainability and low carbon is a city-wide priority, so any application for a project like that is great, it needs to look at that, but also the neighbourhood fit and affordability piece has to be there. That's the single biggest challenge."
The design includes a series of unique three-storey communal greenhouse spaces, where residents can grow fruit trees, tend to bees, and where sunlight is harvested for passive solar energy. World-renowned landscape architect Cornelia Oberlander, a force at the age of 97 who designed the interior garden for the New York Times building in Manhattan, has signed on to design the gardens. The lower levels will be devoted to office and retail space. Other than the extremely low-carbon goal, the tower and podium design is typical of new projects located around transit, Mr. Langereis says
However, if the public process vetoes it, they will find a Plan B. He suggested a massive block of five-storey buildings that would form canyons, which he says is far less appealing.
Later, in an e-mail, he said he'd be "disappointed" if their tower project didn't pass, though, "as our goal is to demonstrate that traditional tower-base forms that we are accustomed to can be built in a low-carbon manner."
Several other proposals for very tall wood-construction towers have been announced – for instance, the 80-storey Oakwood Tower in London and the 70-storey W350 Tower in Tokyo, but neither project is close to receiving planning approval and the Tokyo tower has a more or less fanciful completion date of 2041. The University of British Columbia's 53-metre, 18-storey Brock Commons Tallwood House, a hybrid of wood and concrete, was, until March of this year, considered the world's tallest timber building. However, the 84-metre-high Mjøstårnet tower in Brumunddal, Norway now holds that distinction, as verified by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.

Huskies edge ECU, 3-2
April 1, 2017 By Bonesville Staff Leave a Comment
GREENVILLE — Connecticut pitchers recorded 19 strikeouts in topping East Carolina 3-2 in the American Athletic Conference opener for both clubs on Friday night.
The Huskies (14-9) scored once in the sixth and twice in the eighth. The Pirates (18-9) answered with a run in the sixth and scored once in the eighth.
Left-hander Tim Cate (2-1) pitched seven and one-third inning for UConn. He allowed five hits and one run, which was unearned. Cate walked two and struck out 13.
John Russell pitched the last one and two-thirds for his eighth save. Russell got all five outs on strikeouts. A hit batter and a walk put the potential tying run at second in the bottom of the ninth.
Cate and ECU sophomore right-hander Chris Holba were locked in a scoreless duel for five innings.
Chris Winkel singled for the Huskies in the sixth and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Keith Krueger. UConn took a 1-0 lead on an RBI single by Anthony Prato.
Travis Watkins led off with a double to left for ECU in the bottom of the sixth. He went to third on a wild pitch and scored on a throwing error.
Back-to-back doubles by Winkel and Krueger gave the Huskies a 2-1 lead in the eighth. An RBI single by Willy Yahn provided a 3-1 advantage for the visitors.
The Pirates loaded the bases in the eighth on a single by Watkins, followed by walks to Eric Tyler and Bryant Packard.
Watkins scored on a passed ball before a strikeout ended the threat.
Holba (3-1) absorbed his first loss of the season. He pitched seven and one-third innings, yielding eight hits. He allowed two runs, both earned, while striking out six without a walk.
The AAC opener was delayed for 52 minutes during the bottom of the eighth inning due to lightning.
Game two of the three-game series is scheduled for 4 p.m. today.

2020-11-14 2020-11-10 by Jack Daynes
After driving all day from Ely Nevada, I felt tuckered out. I didn't want to boondock camp in Las Vegas, so I booked a night at an RV park in Henderson. The stay at the RV park was a good idea. It was only five minutes from the Bird Viewing Preserve, and Monday morning I was the first guest to arrive at the preserve just after 6am and I stayed until noon. I visited nearly every pond and trail. I took a ton of pictures, and a few of the images in the collection pleased me.
Waterfowl are the stars of the show here. Ducks and grebes abound, but I put in the effort to get passerines and shorebirds when I could. When I arrived at the preserve, the wind was calm, but it kicked up as the morning progressed, giving the morning chill an extra bite and making me wish I'd brought my mittens. Calm water early allowed me to capture reflecting images of the birds on the water, but when the wind picked up, the reflections were not so easy to get.
Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve in southern Nevada. At 6:15am I was the first guest at the preserve and I stayed until 12:30.
The preserve comprises nine ponds spread over 140 acres, intertwined with trails weaving their way along the levees between the ponds. Some ponds are quite large. Originally developed as a water treatment facility, it is now prime birding habitat. The city operated the wastewater treatment plant, not knowing it would evolve into the marvelous bird habitat we know today. After first becoming popular with birders in the 1960s, in 1995 the City of Henderson initiated policies that reflected a cooperative sensitivity to the birds who thrived here. They restricted the draining and filling of the ponds and the clearing of brush to times when it would not disturb the breeding and migratory needs of the birds. Both the birds and the birders have benefitted from this foresight, It's a lesson that other municipalities could heed.
The species I collected images of were Ruddy Duck, Pied-Billed Grebe, Greater Yellowlegs, Northern Shoveler, Merlin, Green Heron, Northern Harrier, Common Gallinule, Mallard, American Coot, Bufflehead, Great Egret, Western Grebe, Black-Crowned Night-Heron, Northern Flicker, Greater Roadrunner, Abert's Towhee, Green-Winged Teal, Killdeer, Say's Phoebe, Gadwall, Cinnamon Teal, Canvasback, Snowy Egret, White-Crowned Sparrow, Mourning Dove, Red-Wing Blackbird, Gambel's Quail, Hermit Thrush, Merlin, Ruby-Crowned Kinglet, Say's Phoebe. Not all the images qualified for display in the gallery. Species I failed to capture with my camera included Redhead, Belted Kingfisher, Black-Tailed Gnatcatcher, Verdin, Yellow-Rumped Warbler, White-Faced Ibis, Virginia Rail, and Sora.

Italian court jails 24 over South American Operation Condor

An Italian court has sentenced 24 people to life in prison for their involvement in Operation Condor, in which the dictatorships of six South American countries conspired to kidnap and assassinate political opponents in each other's territories.
The trial, the first of its kind in Europe, began in 2015 and focused on the responsibility of senior officials in the military dictatorships of Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil, Bolivia and Argentina for the killing and disappearance of 43 people including 23 Italian citizens.
Those sentenced on Monday included Francisco Morales Bermúdez, who was president of Peru from 1975 to 1980, Juan Carlos Blanco, a former foreign minister in Uruguay, Pedro Espinoza Bravo, a former deputy intelligence chief in Chile, and Jorge Néstor Fernández Troccoli, a Uruguayan former naval intelligence officer.
Exactly how many people died as a result of the conspiracy is unknown, but prosecutors in South America and Italy provided evidence that at least 100 leftwing activists were killed in Argentina, including 45 Uruguayans, 22 Chileans, 15 Paraguayans and 13 Bolivians.
"Operation Condor spared no one," said Francesca Lessa, a research fellow at Oxford University's Latin American Centre. "Refugees and asylum seekers were especially targeted, while children – illegally detained with their parents – had their biological identity stolen and replaced by that of adoptive families."
According to a database recording the crimes of the coordinated regional repression, at least 496 people of 11 nationalities were kidnapped under the auspices of Operation Condor.
Declassified documents suggest some victims were drugged, their stomachs were slit open and they were dropped from planes into the Atlantic Ocean. Other victims' bodies were cemented into barrels and thrown into rivers.
Monday's verdict was the result of years of pressure from the families of those who disappeared. "For decades, the victims' relatives have been seeking justice," Lessa said. "In the late 1990s and early 2000s, impunity dominated South America, with former politicians and military officials involved in Condor Operation still enjoying immunity. Bringing them before a judge to take responsibility for their crimes was not a simple undertaking."
The crimes took place in the 1970s and 1980s. "Many of the perpetrators were growing old and may never be brought to justice," said Jorge Ithurburu, a lawyer for 24 Marzo, a Rome-based NGO. "The more time passed the more the witnesses of those atrocious crimes aged or died."
Aurora Meloni, 68, whose husband, Daniel Banfi, was kidnapped and murdered in Buenos Aires in 1974, told the Guardian: "We've never given up and today we all won. Today's ruling is not only for my husband … today's ruling is dedicated to all the people killed and kidnapped under Condor."
Prosecutors in the case drew on the precedent set in 2000 by the arrest in London of the former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet under the principle of "universal jurisdiction".
In 2016, Argentina's last military dictator, Reynaldo Bignone, and 16 other former military officials were sentenced to years in prison, marking the first time a court had proved the existence of Operation Condor.
Last April, a newly declassified CIA document showed that European intelligence agencies sought advice from South America's 1970s dictatorships on how to combat leftwing "subversion".
"Representatives of West German, French and British intelligence services had visited the Condor organization secretariat in Buenos Aires during the month of September 1977 in order to discuss methods for establishment of an anti-subversion organization similar to Condor," the document stated.
According to the human rights prosecution office in Buenos Aires, 977 former military officers and collaborators are in jail for crimes relating to Argentina's dictatorship.

Samsung announced the results of its investigation into the Galaxy Note 7 malfunction. The South Korean electronics giant said that bad battery design and a rush to release an updated version of the phone caused some of the devices to overheat and explode, leading to a massive product recall and a huge black eye to Samsung's reputation.
Samsung said that during the past several months roughly 700 Samsung researchers and engineers tested more than 200,000 fully assembled devices and more than 30,000 batteries to figure out what went wrong with the Note 7 phones.
The short answer is that the Note 7's battery was too large for the casing of the battery, which caused some to overheat, according to Samsung's report. Samsung then switched to a battery a different supplier but said that that battery had a defect that caused it to overheat.


FEKADU: I literally fell asleep reading ALL OF THOSE ALBUM TITLES. You can't even fit all these names in a single tweet! But on a serious note, Kacey Musgraves' beautiful and striking album will win here. Part of my reasoning comes from there being four rap-based albums in the mix, along with two R&B ones, and they'll all share too many votes to win. The race is between Brandi Carlile, whose album is also excellent, and Musgraves, who had more buzz this year, won honors at country awards shows and reached audiences outside of the country world with her pop-leaning album. "Golden Hour" will win in the final Grammy hour.
RECORD OF THE YEAR: "I Like It," Cardi B, Bad Bunny and J Balvin; "The Joke," Brandi Carlile; "This Is America," Childish Gambino; "God's Plan," Drake; "Shallow," Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper; "All the Stars," Kendrick Lamar and SZA; "Rockstar," Post Malone and 21 Savage; "The Middle," Zedd, Maren Morris and Grey.
MOODY: There are genuine massive smashes here that became part of the soundtrack of 2018, but the song that probably best summed up the twisted political and social mood of the year was Childish Gambino's "This is America." The video was a jaw-dropping, social media moment, and it was a critical favorite (unlike, say, "Rockstar"). Look for Grammy voters to make a statement, and also try to seem edgy, by picking Gambino.
FEKADU: Your logic sounds perfect. I think "Shallow," ''The Joke" and "The Middle" are also strong contenders. But it's hard to think of Bradley Cooper winning record of the year, and I still think Brandi's song is too unknown. I'm going with "The Middle," which could get votes from the pop, dance and country music voters. Plus, it topped Billboard's dance/electronic songs chart for a record 33 weeks!
SONG OF THE YEAR (songwriter's award): "Boo'd Up," Ella Mai, DJ Mustard, Larrance Dopson and Joelle James; "In My Blood," Shawn Mendes, Teddy Geiger, Scott Harris and Geoffrey Warburton; "The Joke," Brandi Carlile, Dave Cobb, Phil Hanseroth and Tim Hanseroth; "This Is America," Childish Gambino and Ludwig Goransson; "God's Plan," Drake, Noah "40" Shebib, Boi-1Da, Daveon Jackson, Brock Korsan and Ron LaTour; "Shallow," Lady Gaga, Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt; "All the Stars," Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Al Shuckburgh, Mark Spears and Anthony Tiffith; "The Middle," Zedd, Grey, Sarah Aarons, Jordan K. Johnson, Stefan Johnson and Marcus Lomax.
FEKADU: Let's start with what songs definitely won't win: "Boo'd Up," ''In My Blood" and "All the Stars." And since this is an award honoring songwriting, we can probably eliminate "The Middle," ''This Is America" and "God's Plan." That leaves us with Carlile's "The Joke" and Gaga's "Shallow," which won the Golden Globe, will win the Oscar as well as a major Grammy, too.
MOODY: Hmmm ... I kind of feel "In My Blood" has a strong chance, especially since veteran Teddy Geiger is in the mix. But I agree, it won't take it, nor will "This Is America" — the Grammy voters tend to split song and album honors these days. And since this is a songwriter's award, while I think everyone is impressed by the story of "A Star Is Born," they'll give it to three songwriters who work magic together on the regular — Carlile, Cobb and the Hanseroth brothers for "The Joke."
BEST R&B SONG (songwriter's award): "Boo'd Up," Ella Mai, DJ Mustard, Larrance Dopson and Joelle James; "Come Through and Chill," Miguel, J. Cole and Salaam Remi; "Feels Like Summer," Childish Gambino and Ludwig Goransson; "Focus," H.E.R., Darhyl Camper Jr. and Justin Love; "Long As I Live," Toni Braxton, Antonio Dixon and Paul Boutin.
FEKADU: Because of Childish Gambino's popularity, part of me feels like he could win here. But then who really remembers "Feels Like Summer"? Exactly. The real competition is between breakthrough singers Ella Mai and H.E.R. And since "Boo'd Up" was the song of the summer and reached No. 5 on the Hot 100 — where H.E.R.'s "Focus" peaked at No. 100 — I think the British singer will be listening to her to heart go ba-dum boo'd up when she wins Sunday.
MOODY: Who remembers a lot of the winners of this category in recent years? Sure fire hits have surely won but so have songs that landed with a soft thump on the charts — and Mesfin, I DO REMEMBER "Feels Like Summer." It was a success, and more importantly, it came from Childish! Grammy voters love this dude, and he's a multi-hyphenate entertainer and one of the coolest kids in the category, so ... the Grammy goes to Mr. Gambino.
BEST COUNTRY SOLO PERFORMANCE: "Wouldn't It Be Great?," Loretta Lynn; "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters," Maren Morris; "Butterflies," Kacey Musgraves; "Millionaire," Chris Stapleton; "Parallel Line," Keith Urban.
FEKADU: "Now you're lifting me up, instead of holding me down/Stealing my heart instead of stealing my crown." Yeah, Kacey, you win.

Snowden 'is a hero', issued himself death warrant for us
Glenn Beck strongly defends Snowden and says we're on about the last exit before complete government surveillance over our lives. He says we must act now to end this and that the worst possible solution would be to pick up a gun because chaos is precisely what the government wants. If you sneer at this because it's from Glenn Beck then you don't get it about civil liberties and freedom. This isn't about left vs. right.
"My stance on Edward Snowden – I came out over the weekend and said, 'This guy is a hero.' At least what he is doing is an act of heroism," Glenn said. "What he is doing coming out and speaking to the press – he has issued himself a death warrant"¦ He had a decent life. He was making $200,000 a year, living in Hawaii with his girlfriend. He decides, 'This is wrong and somebody needs to speak out.' This is, I believe, the first act of real heroism that we have seen."
As a country, we are running out of time. "I do believe this is the last exit. I could be wrong"¦ Hopefully there's more,. If the American people, however, see that what he has done was right, we have a chance of changing things."
Snowden has now shown the world that the United States government has access to just about every aspect of your life – from phone calls to emails to credit card activity, they have it all. The media and Washington may try to spin these leaks into some sort of political debate stemming from the PATRIOT ACT, but the implications of government overreach in this situation are far more dangerous than any political scandal.

We live in interesting times. If someone should pick up a gun, and if the government should respond with a crackdown, what would happen after that? Consider: there's a Democrat in the White House, much hated by the middle of the country. If he was a Republican, it's quite possible that the law and order sentiment would trump the 2nd Amendment sentiment, and they might go along… but he isn't. A government crackdown at this point could well result in a limited but armed response, followed (almost inevitably) by further crackdowns and (again almost inevitably) by de facto civil war. The cycle of violence would be unleashed. While that would favor a drastic curtailment of rights in "emergency legislation," which would serve the short-term interests of those seeking power, it would most likely also result in years of destructive armed conflict, and almost certainly the destruction of our nation as we know it. I don't think any but the most deluded (politicians or citizens) want that as an option. No, the continuation of the slow erosion of rights would seem to be a strategically better option for the government than any sort of chaos. And it's much harder to counter.
What happens after the crackdown depends on how far the government is willing to go. Just look at Egypt now. Not a good outcome. Government shooting people in the streets. Civil wars have really unpredictable outcomes and can end with nasty people seizing power.
I agree that the government is quickly losing legitimacy.
Aug 15, 2013 / 5:55 am
I don't condone civil war, but from an analytical standpoint it remains a possibility, particularly since the short-term results could be beneficial to certain parties. One could even imagine a rich politician paying someone to blow up a building so he (or she) could ride the emergency legislation into virtual dictatorship.
"Sieg Heil to the President Gasman…"
For the only time. I agree with Glen Beck.

Q: Oracle 11G - PK index not being used on Join, resorting to full scan I know Oracle sometimes "judges" that it's better to perform full table scan as oppose to index scan, however still being in a "learning stage", I'm just trying to get a better understanding of "when" oracle will determine the best route.  For example, I have simple query:
Select *
  FROM GLMV_JOURNAL_LOGS JLOG
       INNER JOIN GLMV_Transact_Details TDTL
          ON TDTL.TR_REF_NO = JLOG.TR_REF_NO
         AND TDTL.SCAT_KEY = JLOG.Scat_key
         AND TDTL.CASE_KEY = JLOG.CASE_KEY
         AND TDTL.TR_CD = JLOG.TR_CD
       INNER JOIN FUND_DESC FDDC
          ON FDDC.FD_DESC_ID = TDTL.FD_DESC_ID
       INNER JOIN FD_RATES FDRT
          ON  FDRT.FDRT_KEY = TDTL.FDRT_KEY
       INNER JOIN BEN_TYPES BNTP
          ON BNTP.BNTP_KEY = FDRT.BNTP_KEY
 WHERE JLOG.JRNL_CD  = '0'
   AND JLOG.SRC_CD = '2'
   AND JLOG.MKEY_FD_NUM <> 0
   AND NVL(JLOG.TMOV_KEY, -1) > 0
   AND NVL(JLOG.ORIG_SCAT_KEY, 1) = 1
   AND TDTL.STAT_CD <> '4'
   AND NVL(TDTL.ORIG_SCAT_KEY, 1) = 1

The join on FD_RATES is joining on PK value, which I also created a corresponding index on GLMV_Transact_Details in thinking that a full table scan would be prevented, however, based on the explain plan below, it's not, even after I've performed index rebuild and gather table stats, the outcome is still the same:

Now if I go into my query and add the following where clause:
AND  FDRT.FDRT_KEY = 100

The index will kick in of course, but I guess I'm curious as to why it's not when doing an inner join.... any tips??

A: The optimizer has estimated the cost of the full table scan on FD_RATES as 106.  The join this feeds into has an estimated cardinality of 416, as does the other row source feeding that join.  If we were to replace the hash join with a nested loop, doing a unique index (PK) lookup for each row, the cost would be at least 1, probably 2 or 3, for each iteration of the loop, and we think there will be 416 iterations, so that would be a cost of at least 416, probably double or triple that, which is much more than the estimated cost of doing the full table scan.
Now, the estimates could be wrong.  The main thing to look at, in my experience, is the cardinalities shown in the plan.  If these are reasonably accurate, then there's a good chance that Oracle has picked reasonably efficient join order and access paths -- not necessarily the most efficient, but close.
If you want to try to force an index scan to see how it performs, I believe the hint you want would be:
Select /*+ INDEX(fdrt) */ *
...

A: I am going to ignore your example, and just try to answer your FTS vs. Index question :)
Typically, the reason for using an index is to minimize the data blocks you need to read to satisfy your query.  This is greatly determined by how your data is physically stored in the table.  It makes no difference what percent of the rows you are selecting, but rather how many blocks you can avoid by using an index instead of a full table scan.  For example, if you have a table with 30 million rows across 3000 blocks, and you want to select 15,000 rows (or .5%) should you use an index?  Well, if all 15,000 rows are in the last 200 blocks, then an index definitely makes sense.  However, if the query has to get 5 rows from each data block to get the 15,000 rows, a full table scan makes more sense since you have to touch all of the blocks anyways.
Cary Millsap uses a great example of thinking of Oracle indexes like an index in a book.  If you have a book on oracle, and you look up "Partition" it will probably point you to a lot of occurrences across a relatively small set of pages.  So in this case, using the index was a good idea.  However, if you look up "Row", that may have the same number of occurrences as "Partition", but they will be spread across most of the pages.  In that case it is better to "full-scan" and just read every page in order rather than flipping back and forth between the pages and the index.
Oracle stores approximations in your index about how your data in the table is physically stored, and uses that information when determining which path to choose.  Obviously a lot more goes into the optimizer than this (and you can ruin it with bad statistics or parameter settings), but this should get you started.

A: I don't have enough information for a full answer, but here are some remarks:

*

*I wouldn't call a 5-table join like yours simple. Can you leave out a table?

*A full table scan is only bad if the table is big. For a smaller table, the is no difference to index-based access.

*You can use hints (embedded into comments) to direct the optimizer to use a certain access path.

People differ from animals in that they are capable ofthink and analyze, but sometimes even to the witty person is difficult to convey the abhorrence of the actions he does. How does it happen that some representatives of human civilization become vicious in nature? Much, and sometimes everything, on which the thinking of a person is based, depends on education, for it is in the family that we are taught the basic moral principles that can help or harm in later life.
In his fables Ivan Andreevich Krylov awesomeThe image reveals the essence of vicious people, comparing them with animals. In the opinion of literary critics, such a method is inhumane to all people, because each of us has vices. But despite this, the ironic rhymed stories of Ivan Krylov continue to enjoy success and enter the mandatory course of studying literature by junior schoolchildren for several decades. "Fox and grapes" - a fable, most accurately conveys the nature of cunning and weak people. Let's analyze this work to see this.
The story begins with the fact that the hungry foxI noticed the vineyards. She was ready to eat them, but the bunches hung very high. The fox climbed onto the fence and tried to grab at least one bunch of grapes for an hour, but it did not work. In the end, the cheat went down and said that there was no use for this plant at all: just nibbled, because there is not a single mature berry!
The content of the fable is so uncomplicated thatat first it seems to the reader simple and uninteresting. But, like the rest of Krylov's poems, "Fox and Grapes" is a fable, the whole meaning of which is concentrated in the last four lines. Therefore, when analyzing it, special attention must be paid to the final proposal.
The moral of the fable "Fox and Grapes"
Despite its uncomplicated content,the presented work has a deep semantic meaning. "Fox and grapes" is a fable, which without any irony reveals the essence of a cunning but at the same time worthless personality. On the example of an animal such as a fox, Krylov shows that unable to do something independently, a man will always find a way to get out, cover up his scammy act with some excuse or find a lot of shortcomings in the achievement of what he lacks in boldness, nor strength.
"Fox and Grapes" is a fable of Krylov, capable ofto drive into the paint of many people who are distinguished by cunning and inability to do something more valuable. A successful analogy with the most dodgy inhabitant of the forest - the fox - perfectly fitted into the author's plot, because this animal likes to visit human lands with the purpose of stealing small animals for food. Also, some people, like a fox, are able to use only what others have created, and if this thing is too expensive for them or they do not know how to handle it, they can only leave unflattering comments in their justification.


Here are some important questions to ask when preparing to execute successful HR-technology strategies.
Anyone who has had the good fortune to participate in the full cycle of an HR technology-implementation project knows well that such efforts usually consist of numerous milestones, dozens—if not hundreds—of tasks and components, scores of internal and external resources, significant investments of funds and time and myriad opportunities for sub-optimal outcomes or outright failure.
Choose the "wrong" solution and your HR tech project could flounder. Forget to ensure some critical capabilities will be supported in the new system in time and the "go-live" date could be compromised. Fail to procure the right experts to serve on the project team and progress could languish. Lose control of the project's scope and end up with delays and cost overruns. And there are a hundred other reasons why well-intentioned HR technology projects fail to deliver.
With apologies to Tolstoy for paraphrasing his famous line about families, I would argue that successful HR tech projects are all alike; unsuccessful HR tech projects fail in their own way. While understanding why some projects succeed and others fail is important for any organization, it's even more vital to prepare for and execute HR technology strategies in a manner that maximizes the chance for success.
As co-chair of the HR Technology® Conference and Expo, I am focusing on developing considerable content around the "Success with HR Technology" theme. With that in mind, I thought it would be helpful to examine the nature of customer success and highlight some considerations that HR and HRIT leaders should keep in mind as they continue with workplace technology planning, purchasing, implementation and post-implementation activities in 2018.
During some recent research, I was encouraged to find that the concept of customer success has gained strength in recent years as an important measure and barometer for HR and enterprise technology providers.
While each provider may have its own way of defining customer success, the important thing is that more of them are intentionally making the concept of their customers' success a fundamental yardstick of self-measurement. Prior to selecting any new HR technology provider, HR leaders will not only want to ensure that customer success is one of the important (if not the most important) ways they self-examine, but you will also want to see demonstrable proof of their customer commitment.
Do they have a senior executive dedicated to customer success, such as a chief customer officer?
Does this senior executive have enough resources and power in the organization to wield influence and get things done on behalf of customers?
Are there representative and published customer-success stories on their website?
Can they provide several customer contacts who are able to offer honest references?
Do they have a customer community or forum to share ideas and product questions?
Perhaps most importantly, how do customer feedback and product-feature requests influence the product-development roadmap and how new features are prioritized and delivered?
The bottom line for an HR leader is that the provider must care as much as you do about your organization's success.
Does the provider inquire about your short- and long-term goals and objectives?
Do representatives want to know what your most important HR and business challenges are?
Is some level of these representatives' own compensation (or at least their performance evaluation) tied to whether you actually achieve your desired goals from the new HR technology?
It is easy for HR tech providers to try to convince you that your success is the same as their success, so you will want to probe deeper to find out if their internal structures and rewards are truly tied to your organization's success.
I ordered some new sneakers from Zappos the other day, and I could swear they showed up at the door less than 24 hours later. It was amazing that these very cool kicks I had been admiring one day were on my feet the next. It's too bad that not everything we want (and purchase) works that way. In HR and workplace technology, what happens in the period immediately after the sale but before the project goes live is critically important and highly impactful in the overall success of projects.
Do we have a dedicated vendor resource to go to with concerns?
Will that person be assigned to us for the duration of the implementation?
How many other clients does this person have besides us?
How soon until we will have a test or "sandbox" system available?
What is the process and timeline for getting our key project resources trained?
How quickly will the provider respond to issues and questions that we have during our initial set-up and testing?
I could go on, but make sure you press the vendor for a detailed plan/process for how it plans to support you in getting from signed contract (a high point for the vendor) to go-live (a high point for the customer). In a productive, healthy and aligned partnership, the vendor will consider reaching the go-live date to be as much of a success for it as it is for you.
Experienced HR and enterprise-technology professionals often like to say that the go-live isn't the end of the project, it's just the start. As someone who owns a fair share of enterprise-technology battle scars, I would have to agree.
Aside from some potential cost savings from the decommissioning of legacy systems that the new HR tech solutions are going to replace, almost every HR tech project begins providing a potential benefit and return on investment only after it goes live and users adopt the new system. And even then, it usually takes months or even years to demonstrate the expected benefits and financial ROI for which the organization has been hoping and planning.
With this in mind, HR and HRIT professionals should make sure they understand how their HR tech provider will support the system post go-live, which implementation resources will remain available (and for how long), if there will be any "special" or increased support in the critical first 30-60-90 days post go-live, and finally, the process to resolve any critical bugs or issues during this crucial period.
In the longer term, HR leaders will want to ensure that the key metrics they will use to measure project, HR and organizational success will be supported by the HR tech provider, and that there is a clear understanding of how these shared goals and objectives will be monitored and managed moving forward.
Next month, I will examine customer success from the internal point of view and address what HR and HRIT leaders can do to make sure their own organizations are positioned for success.

After visiting with industry vendors and analysts at some of the trade conferences this spring I'm encouraged. Despite the financial constraints imposed by the economy the last couple of years, companies who provide products and services for the document industry have continued to develop new offerings and bring them to market. They are exhibiting at the conferences and showing off their hard work.
I've been especially impressed with products that allow document operations to implement automated document factory (ADF) functionality. There are many choices available today that allow an organization to choose the portions of their workflow where additional automation, tracking and control make the most sense for them. It is no longer necessary to buy a package that does more than you need. This makes it a lot easier to attain a reasonable return on investment. And todays ADF systems are easily expandable as requirements change.
Companies will invest in ADF technology for a variety of reasons. Two of the most common are the desire to track individual mail pieces through the production process, as well as automating reprints. Of course there are numerous other benefits as well (see sidebar).
Organizations are realizing that the batch balancing methods of the past are no longer adequate. Print and mail service providers and in-house operations alike are finding that their customers expect them to be able to report on the disposition of individual pieces of mail, not just statistics compiled at the job level.
For financial and health applications, the benefit of additional integrity enabled by piece-level tracking is an obvious necessity. But other applications such as direct mail advertising are becoming much more personalized and targeted. And physical direct mail pieces are frequently integrated with campaign elements delivered via additional communication channels. These trends are now driving more organizations to consider adding ADF functionality to their workflows to make sure these highly targeted messages reach the correct recipients at the expected time. ADF isn't just for bank statements and checks anymore.
Reprints have been difficult and expensive since the early days of data processing. Even today there are plenty of organizations that maintain reprint procedures that are mostly manual and extremely time-consuming. In fact, very few of my clients have truly automated reprint capabilities. There are usually some manual steps and they often lack reconciliation processes. The ability to positively verify when a specific damaged document was reprinted and then mailed is a challenge. It is no wonder that reprint automation is high on the list of improvements companies seek to achieve with ADF systems.
None of the organizations I visit have integrated every single step in their document production workflow. Instead, companies today apply ADF technology to those portions of the workflow where they need it the most. They may be tracking folded mail but not flats. Or they may be monitoring printers on a job level, but inserters at the piece level. Manual operations may or may not be included in the automation strategy. Finishing steps such as bindery are frequently uncontrolled, but in some shops, control and quality in bindery are considered mandatory.
Choosing the best parts of the workflow to apply ADF hardware and software may depend on the equipment in the shop, the types of documents being processed, the level of personalization, your exposure to risk, the budget and many other factors. A careful analysis of your objectives and your workflow is necessary. Only then should you start looking at the solutions now available to nearly any document operation.
With the integration capabilities and hardware agnostic aspects of some solutions, organizations can implement selected features of ADF without replacing their printer or inserter fleet. Organizations no longer have to settle for having only part of their shop reporting into the ADF databases. A gradual implementation, without large capital expense, is entirely possible today, and highly recommended.

A Brazilian court ruled this week that McDonald's must pay a former franchise manager $17,500 because he gained 65 pounds (30 kilograms) while working there for a dozen years.
The ruling was signed Tuesday by Judge Joao Ghisleni Filho in Porto Alegre.
Ghisleni said McDonald's could appeal the case, and the Brazilian headquarters of the chain said in an e-mailed statement Thursday it was weighing its legal options.
McDonald's also noted that it offers healthier food choices.
"The chain offers a large variety of options and balanced menus to cater (to) the daily dietary needs of its employees," the company said in the statement.
McDonald's headquarters is in Oak Brook, Illinois.

One issue that is vital to get sorted as soon as possible is a clear and concise cleaning schedule for your device. Draw up a plan which dictates when you need to clean your aid and ensure you stick to it.
Not maintaining your device is not only unhealthy and potentially dangerous, it is also a waste of money as you will need to fund a replacement if your existing aid starts to malfunction.

Recurrent problems need addressing so either call in for an appointment with us in branch or look up resolutions online to make sure you don't still suffer the same problems when 2014 rolls around.


Fahad Nazer, JTG Senior Political Analyst.
A consensus seems to have emerged in Saudi Arabia that maintains that the kingdom has an "image problem" in the West. While some of those holding this view have suggested that there is a systematic and deliberate "campaign" in the Western media to portray Saudi Arabia in the worst light possible, other Saudis think that the onus should be on them to contest this negative narrative. One of the most vocal proponents of the latter view appears to be none other than Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister, Adel AI Jubeir.
Al Jubeir made his views known during a recent interview with a Western media outlet. He acknowledged that Saudi Arabia is primarily perceived in a negative manner in the West and said that part of the reason is that the kingdom has not done "a good enough job" of engaging the public in the West in a sustained manner.
In what appears to be a concerted effort to remedy this problem, Saudi diplomats have begun writing opinion pieces in the Western media challenging the prevailing sentiment, especially as it pertains to Saudi Arabia's efforts to counter the threat posed by militant Islamist groups like the so called Islamic State. While Saudi officials have long maintained close relations and continuous contact with their counterparts in the West, especially in the US, they are making more of an effort to meet with opinion-makers outside of government in the hope of telling their side of the story. Al Jubeir has been at the forefront of this campaign.
Last month, he hosted a round table discussion at the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington with a very small group of Washington-based political analysts and Middle East scholars. I was among them.
In this small, less formal setting, Minister Al Jubeir was relaxed, engaging and adopted a more frank tone than he usually does at more formal press conferences. Al Jubeir didn't announce any new breakthroughs in the Middle East's myriad political crises and conflicts, nor did he proclaim any new policies. However, the importance of the latter should not be overlooked.
In the Saudi Arabia of King Salman, there is little room for ambiguity but a high premium on clear positions, resolute actions and consistent policies that do not change month-to-month or week to week. The Saudis also appear to expect this clarity from their close allies in the Middle East and beyond. Whether their partners have actually done so has been the subject of intense debate.
Given the setting, Al Jubeir naturally focused on the state of Saudi-US relations and began by providing an overview of Deputy Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman's current visit to the US, which is well into its second week. Al Jubeir said that Prince Mohammed, who is also defense minister, met with senior US administration officials including Secretary of State Kerry, Secretary of Defense Carter and eventually, President Obama himself at the White House last week. He also confirmed that the deputy crown prince met with both the Democratic and Republic leaders in Congress as well as top US economic advisers before traveling to California to meet with a number of Silicon Valley CEOs.
During his opening remarks – and for the rest of the briefing – Al Jubeir repeatedly maintained that contrary to the popular perception in Washington and elsewhere, Saudi-US relations are not strained but are rather stronger than they have ever been. He maintained that cooperation in political, security and economic matters has only widened and deepened over the last seven decades. At the same time, he dismissed the notion that the US has elected to abandon the Middle East and that it has "pivoted" to Asia. He also made it clear that Saudi Arabia is not remotely concerned about a supposed "rapprochement" between the US and Iran that would adversely affect Saudi Arabia's decades-long partnership with the United States.
Al Jubeir made a compelling case by listing some of the major crises that US-Saudi relations have "survived" over the years, including the 1973 oil embargo and the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks against the US. While stressing the importance of political and military cooperation between the two countries, he also argued that the steadily deepening economic ties have not only benefited the two countries but have had a positive impact on the global economy.
Al Jubeir confirmed that most of Saudi Arabia's foreign investments are in the US. He also acknowledged without any reservations, that the US is "ultimate guarantor" of the security of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries.
Al Jubeir spent the rest of his remarks lamenting the current state of Saudi-Iranian relations. While making it clear that Saudi Arabia would "love" to have good relations with Iran, he maintained that Iran's current policies of "interfering" in the domestic affairs of other countries and its well-documented track record of supporting terrorist attacks and militant groups – including Sunni ones – has made it very difficult for Saudi Arabia to turn a new page in its relations with Iran. He also posited that Iran's policies in the region and beyond have not endeared it to many countries around the world and expressed skepticism about its prospects for becoming a fully reintegrated and constructive member of the international community. He also cast doubt about the efficacy of Iran's policies in the region, and maintained that its influence in the region is waning, adding that its allies in Iraq, Yemen and Syria are "losing" in their respected conflicts.
In short, the foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia left no doubt that the kingdom considers the United States to be its most important political and economic partner and that the bilateral relationship has only become "bigger, closer and deeper" over the years. Anything that says otherwise, he proclaimed, is simply "nonsense".

Daniel Colman shot down the rest of the Big One For One Drop final table like a Wild West gunslinger Tuesday night, then fled the scene with winnings of $15.3 million like a bank robber.
The 23-year-old professional card player from Boston stole a chunk of aura from the 2014 World Series of Poker's grandiose event, a $1 million buy-in tournament benefiting Guy Laliberte's One Drop charity. After dueling past Daniel Negreanu to win the second-largest prize in the history of poker, Colman refused to speak or at first even smile.
Channeling a petulant child, Colman had to be persuaded to pose with the winnings and bracelet most poker players spend their whole lives fighting toward. Caesars Entertainment executives and ESPN officials got their way with that one, but Colman would spare no more satisfaction.
He turned down every request, even with the giant sports network that will air six hours documenting his victory starting later this month, to talk about outlasting 41 other players over the last three days.
Flanked by Olivier Busquet and Haralabos Voulgaris, high-rolling gamblers presumed to have covered a portion of his buy-in, Colman sped out of the Rio's Amazon Room within five minutes of the greatest achievement of his career.
Colman or one of his handlers appeared to state he had, "no interest in promoting poker," on his way out the door.
How painstaking it must have sounded to answer a couple of questions to help an industry that could use any and every bit of possible positive promotion. An industry that enabled Colman to uncover his exceptional ability for one-on-one poker and allowed him the success to move to a swanky home in Rio de Janeiro while peers lived in college dorms.
Not having the dignity to mumble out a few words for the sake of poker wasn't the surprise, though. There are self-absorbed types in every profession.
The jarring part is that Colman concurrently came off as having an anti-Machiavellian streak with no interest in promoting himself either.
He could have lined himself up for any number of sponsorships or endorsements just by acting decent. Antonio Esfandiari set himself up in a lucrative gig as the face of Ultimate Poker, the first licensed online poker room in America, by winning the inaugural Big One For One Drop two years ago.
The best example of the benefits of approachability, however, was right in front of Colman. Negreanu spent more than 30 minutes chatting with reporters on the ESPN stage.
His second-place finish was good for $8.3 million, putting him above Esfandiari as tournament poker's all-time winningest player at nearly $29.8 million. Negreanu has proven one of the best players in the history of poker over the last 16 years, but partnerships with the likes of PokerStars.net have assisted the longevity he's achieved and the height he's reached.
He's always had an outspoken and candid personality. Negreanu understands if Colman is the opposite.
"I respect it completely," Negreanu said of Colman's reticence. "To each his own. If it's not something he wants to do then I think we should all give him a break."
Colman certainly doesn't deserve the same accessibility burden of a professional athlete. He's not getting paid to appear on television.
Poker players pay to compete in events, even though it's murky how much Colman forked over for the One Drop. One player around the stage after the tournament who may or may not have been part of the winner's entourage said Colman had less than 10 percent of his own action in the event.
There's no way to confirm the figure, but it's too bad Colman couldn't give himself the opportunity to address the rumor. If he did put up only a maximum $100,000 of his own money, then his winnings wouldn't exceed $1.53 million.
If correct, it's too bad he couldn't have positioned himself for another easy windfall with a better attitude.
"I love the way he plays," Negreanu said. "He's got a perfect style for tournament poker. He's going to win a bunch more. I promise you that."
That might be true, but it's too bad that no one will care.
