The Young Investors Society (YIS) is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. YIS was formed in 2014 by a group of experienced Wall Street Investors looking to invest their knowledge forward to the next generation of kids.  They noticed that financial literacy was being taught poorly at most high-schools across the country.  Many schools had no organized investment programs and the ones that did were teaching all the wrong principles: short-term, high-risk, gambling methodologies emphasized by stock performance judged over a month or two.  Young Investors Society aimed to correct this.  Its programs are written and directed by a group of over 30 professional investors.  High-school students have the unique privilege to be taught fundamental, long-term investing in a fun and exciting way.  Together we’ll change the world, one investor at a time.

Mission Statement

The Young Investors Society is dedicated to preparing the next generation of investors. Its mission is to inspire youth to be outstanding investors – investors in companies, investors in their communities, and investors in themselves.

Cindy_lou_whoAt 4:41am Zoe came in to our room and stood by my side of the bed and asked me to tuck her back in because she had just had “a slightly bad dream.” I walked her back into her room and helped her rearrange the blankets. She turned on the Muppets Christmas cd on her iPod at low enough volume so as not to wake Zeke, but loud enough that I could still make out the reassuring Muppet singing when I returned to my room. Zoe’s wall is on the other side of our closet, which is currently completely empty (including floor and most of the drywall) because of recent water damage. For some reason I could not get back to sleep. Perhaps because I fell asleep while putting Zeke to bed at 8:30. Even after I laid him down, I was so groggy that I then fell asleep on the floor in the hall outside our bedroom door. Randy tried to wake me up but I was confused and I think I said something rude to him (sorry, babe) and lay there for a while until I could rouse myself to brush my teeth and take my vitamins and fall into bed.

So this morning at 5 I was wide awake, thinking of things undone. Not that it’s unusual to lie in bed and think of things undone, but since today is Christmas Eve, there is more than usual to do, and I’ve just been in denial. A month ago yesterday my mom had a stroke, and continues to deal with expressive aphasia. Our family life has been disrupted, to put it mildly. We are immensely thankful that she didn’t suffer more severe consequences from the stroke, but I would be lying if I said things were back to normal. Meanwhile, we experienced the aforementioned water damage, which has caused us to basically rearrange our house while the crisis was resolved. The real repairs have not yet been done, so we are still in a state of disarray, although we’ve tried to make it as liveable as possible, even though we will have to rearrange it all again once we get a contractor in to fix the ceilings, build a new closet, and install new flooring throughout the house. So this is a nuisance, to be sure, but I think I’ve been less worried about it (although still annoyed) because relatively speaking, the house issues shrink in the shadow of more meaningful issues like my mom’s health.

A few weeks ago in church the service [scroll down to sermon archives and select December 13 if you want to watch] was about our church delegation’s trip to Guatemala to spend time with people there who have endured decades of oppression, abuse, and marginalization at the hands of their government (trained by the US) and international corporations (based in the US). The altar and the entrance to the sanctuary were surrounded by cardboard boxes bearing the addresses of locations in Guatemala where human remains of persecuted people have been rescued from mass graves. Forensic technicians, who Rev. Aaron aptly called angels, are working to identify the remains to return them to their families.

Suffering seems to come in small, medium, and large right now and each example may shift to a different category depending on what else happens. My mom’s stroke relegated the water damage and resulting chaos in my house to medium because aphasia is LARGE. But Guatemala, the recent anniversary of Sandy Hook and the colossal, wasteful spectre of violence looms even LARGER. And regardless of the size of the problems, they all need to be addressed. I still had to figure out how to make dinner for my family when the light fixture in our kitchen was out. Randy has been replacing bulbs all over the house, including those CFLs that are supposed to last seven years but certainly don’t in our house. Yesterday we got a new toilet and a new flange (more expensive than you’d think!) because when the plumber took out the old toilet he discovered the flange was rusted through. No, we don’t want sewer gasses seeping into our house, thank you. This year we’ve had to replace all kinds of stuff, and we just hand over our credit card again and again. But at the same time, we are alive and free to live our lives basically however we want. We are not oppressed, or threatened by the government that we or our loved ones will be arrested, imprisioned, tortured, or killed because we are trying to defend our land or keep our community from being poisoned.

Everybody has something they’re dealing with. Divorce, illness, a terrible job, isolation, grief. I hear a lot of these stories lately, from people I love. Also it’s been raining here all week. But we did put up a Christmas tree. Zoe and I put on the lights and most of the ornaments ourselves one night while Randy was putting Zeke to bed. We saved some of their favorites for them to put on the next day. And all of us worked together, or in pairs, to put up Christmas lights outside our house on the night of the Winter Solstice. We are making our small contribution to drive out the darkness and the gloom with little colored lights. We’re just leaving them on all the time because we need that little bit of illumination.

We didn’t do an advent calendar this year, or put together a gingerbread house. We didn’t make latkes or play dreidel but we did celebrate Hanukkah (and I did make latkes for my book club). Zoe arranged all her nativity sets on the mantel and hung the stockings with care. We do have presents, although I haven’t wrapped a single one yet. We did make cookies, thanks to my aunt’s initiative. We haven’t finished the Christmas letter yet, but I did write my mom’s portion, based on her sketchy instructions. We did buy and wrap Christmas presents for kids in need through our church’s tree. Some kids in DC and Arlington will have happier Christmases. I bought Target gift cards for families at Zoe’s school who needed a little extra help. We make a lot of charitable gifts in honor of our family members at Christmas. Tomorrow they will open envelopes with cards that say some homeless pets or homeless people or children in Haiti or children in the hospital were helped because of donations we made specifically for them. So this is what I can do. Christmas isn’t cancelled, even though it’s not exactly the Christmas we had in mind.

I think what I really need to do is have a family reading of How the Grinch Stole Christmas today. I need a reminder from the Whos down in Whoville.

Welcome Christmas. Bring your cheer,
Cheer to all Whos, far and near.

Christmas Day is in our grasp
So long as we have hands to grasp.

Christmas Day will always be
Just as long as we have we.

Welcome Christmas while we stand
Heart to heart and hand in hand.

Father and Son

My son, Carter is getting married this weekend.

One of the happiest days of my life was when his life began… I am sure this weekend will rival that day.

I actually got out of college coaching after the 2000 season so I could spend more time with family and enjoy his “growing up”… a decision that I never regretted.

kneeDuring that time, I actually got to coach my son. Although they already had a staff in place, two kind men welcomed me and allowed me to help coach the Blue Springs Gators, my son’s Pop Warner team. I will be forever indebted to Bill Feldkamp and Dave Roberts, my fellow coaches on the team. Sadly, both of these men have passed… too early… leaving many great memories to countless young athletes they influenced… and to me.

I do not know how many readers have had the opportunity to coach their son or daughter. My two years coaching the Gators rank as some of the most enjoyable I have had in my career. I always knew it was special to me, but did not fully understand how it impacted my son until his junior year in high school. An essay he wrote for his journalism class brought it home… here are his words.

“During 5th and 6th grades I played football in a little league team coached by my dad. I know it sounds great to have a dad as a coach. It sounds like I would play a lot- I mean my dad was the coach why wouldn’t I?

But what I remember about that season is that I had to do every drill twice because the first time was never perfect, and that if I didn’t go all out on every play, I knew that he would see.

Last summer when he coached our school’s 7-on-7 football team, my dad and I would squabble about things he thought I needed to work on. It happened almost every day when we would get home after practice.

Even during that year’s football season he would annoy me in his attempts at tactility, trying to teach me ways to play better – my stance, my pass drops, how I needed to get my pads lower when playing, but he has always managed to commend my work ethic.

That work ethic is something that my dad has instilled in me since I was young, and something that I carry with me because it is something I know is right. I have learned to listen more, no matter how irritating he can be, because whether I like to admit it or not, a lot of the times my dad is right about a lot of things. Being a former high school and college football coach, my favorite sport (football) is one of those things.

So is teaching.

My dad has always said that coaches make good teachers. And we have talked about the fact that if you are a good teacher, you can teach anything. Teaching is not necessarily about the subject being taught, but about having a certain, specific rapport with students.

I noticed something special about my dad last weekend at his 50th birthday party, something I hadn’t known before. I noticed that he has changed so many people’s lives in a positive way either by being their coach or teacher. This was not only evident by the hugs they would give him or smiles they would show when talking to him at the party, but by the stories they tell me.

When his former college football players showed up to his party that Saturday, they came with presents and jokes and their smiles and hugs, but also came with their stories, many of which were about the way my dad coached and pushed them. Former players who were now coaches, teachers, and principals themselves told many of those stories.

One of my dad’s players told me a particular story about how my dad had changed their season by telling them that they could take their team as far as they wanted. And that if he really worked, and really wanted it, the NFL was not out of reach. That player, Joe Grubb didn’t make it to the NFL though… he wasn’t “tall enough”. He told me that my dad really connected with them when he coached them, and that their team would not have worked the way it did if my dad had not been their defensive coordinator that year.

But they did work. Hard. And they ended up having the second highest ranked defense in the country that season.

Joe Grubb’s story made me think of the way my dad has shown me to work hard, and the methods used by others to teach. Whether they are your coaches, your teachers, your parents, or your friends, His story reminded me that every person’s actions affect the lives of those around them. It made me want to listen when spoken to, and to think before speaking, because everything said or done affects everyone around, and I would prefer to do so in a positive manor. I would like to do so in the way my dad has on his students, players, and me.”

IMG_3619I got back into public education, teaching, and coaching Carter’s senior year, at a Middle School (Wester) in Texas that fed into his high school (Centennial). Being a small part of his senior year of high school football … I was in the press box or on the sideline during his games… made that season memorable as well.

I am looking forward to many more great memories as his best friend, Cambria, “officially” joins our family this weekend!

Love makes our world go round – if we allow it.

Love makes our world go round – if we allow it.

A mind and person driven by love is a greater asset than one driven by ego.

This image just keeps resonating in my heart (- no pun intended as you will discover later), after placing the picture of your mind on love on Instagram, I decided it needs a blog post specifically to discuss it in a bit more detail.

As a professional I am constantly aware of how ego can get in the way, when I worked as a Landscape Architect and when I owned my own design business I was keenly aware of ego. How? Well simply stated, I watched and listened as people got in their own way limiting success, change, growth, understanding and even development of relationships.

Ego, this is an interesting character, I stated in Instagram that we need 10% of it. I do believe that that 10% allows us to personalize our character to an extent, it also allows us to reach for more, do more and be more because that 10% allows failure purely due to its disconnect from our true selves.

Mmmmmm…. let that thought sink in please. I do believe that God, Energy, Universal substance, call IT as you please, brings about perfect creation in each of us, that perfect expression of a thought, with ‘that thought’ being each of us individually. If we see wrong within ourselves, we are saying God does not create perfection. So, what happens, ego steps in and under our perfect approval decides to form opinion and to take control, with that ego, step by step, separates us from God’s energy, separates us from our personal greatness, our intended purpose when we came as a gift to our parents. The further we step away with the help of the Ego the less God has the ability to work through us, yes, I do believe He does NOTHING FOR us, but only THROUGH us if we (here ego pops up again) allow it. I had this conversation with a close friend one day, he felt that we are all less than equal and less than deserving of Gods grace. I DISAGREED with him of course 🙂 . That and that alone is ego speaking. In a mind and heart filled with love, there is little space for ego, in fact, allowing 10% space for ego is in my opinion healthy AND ENOUGH, as ego does have the habit of prompting humanity to seek greater expression and understanding.

This is something I share with my children as I make it clear to them that there is inner guidance within, a GPS, which allows us to clearly differentiate between the not so good and the great. This GPS is your heart working and intact, it kindly passes the feeling/emotion and/or message on to your gut, your gut feeling [if the healthy critters therein are predominant, your communication to brain improves – another topic for another day] then gets passed on, enlightening your brain to make the right decision or behave correctly – this is if all goes well.

When a gut says it all
When a gut says it all

I inform them that the minute there is a dis-ease in their heart, a feeling of wrongness, and that relays to their gut the only thing that can go wrong is the ego crosses paths with that message to the brain and says

ahhhh, its ok, you can say nasty things to that person, everyone is doing it”

and in that statement from ego we can clearly feel the heartlessness. This is where mindfulness comes to play, and self-awareness, ego needs to be given the marching orders or our negative actions wreak havoc on our hearts. The science is out there, it is confirmed, this is how we operate, how we make decisions, act, and possibly cause ‘dis-ease’ within.

I do believe we need to protect our hearts, she is a sensitive lass (gents, I am using my heart as the example here), I do believe that she needs gentle care and maintenance at times (nothing that meditation, a good walk in nature, a great bottle of red wine shared cannot solve) to ensure she lives a long healthy life. What we need to keep in mind is that our hearts, according to the latest studies, transmits electromagnetic energy (EMF), which like the octopuses tentacles extends 12-15 feet beyond the body, in fact, in comparison to our brains, our heart’s energy field is 60 times larger and 5000 times more powerful than our brains EMF.

Ever heard someone say “I felt xyz WALK into the room that day!”, well science agrees with them. If there was one reason why we need to keep our hearts healthy and focus in on love, it may just be this, our electromagnetic capability. Next time you hug your spouse, loved one, child, bestest friend, make sure you are sending them love filled energy from your heart as that is what will make this world go round.

If you have a desire for more sciency understanding, this link is an interesting read with regards to EMF:

Project Description

Chimney Rock National Monument contacted us to develop a new website that showcased their incredible photos and history. Being a non-profit organization, staff wanted to work with a developer that would work within their tight budget guidelines yet produce an effective and professional looking website. Digital Shepherd created a responsive site with full screen slideshows, event calendar, password-protected volunteer section, special programs, and interactive photo gallery. To keep in line with their budget, we created the main pages and functions, but then also trained staff on how to build out the site.

Furthermore, we worked with staff on developing a Search Engine Optimization strategy, website tracking, and digital marketing strategy.

Why Your Brand Should Invest in College Marketing

Why Your Brand Should Invest in College Marketing

BY Lisa Rothwell

Why Your Brand Should Invest in College Marketing

College marketing is a huge opportunity. While big brands like Google and American Eagle have taken notice and launched multifaceted campaigns targeting this demographic, many brands have yet to step foot on campus. And if your brand isn’t trying to authentically connect with students, you’re leaving money on the table.

Not only do college students fall into the coveted Millennial and Gen-Z demographics, they’re also individuals who haven’t yet formed brand loyalties. For many, going to college is the first stage of their independent lives away from their parents. This is their first time making buying decisions for themselves. Maybe a student’s mom always did the laundry with Tide, but when the student stands in front of dozen of laundry detergents at the grocery store, which one will she buy?

Without formed brand loyalties, college students are highly susceptible to new products and services—especially if those products and services are well received by their peers. According to a Nielsen report, the most credible form of advertising comes straight from the people we know and trust. The same report found that 83% of people trust the recommendation of a peer over traditional advertising. Reaching consumers during their college years is an opportunity to win their loyalty by authentically inserting your brand into their lives. By being on campus and building college marketing campaigns around the lives of students, your brand becomes a part of their story and something they want to share with their peers.

students that are targeted via college marketing

Luckily for brands, college campuses are the perfect environment for peer-to-peer communications. Because students are concentrated in one place and every semester offers fresh opportunities to meet new people, the awareness of popular brands and services quickly spreads. Word-of-mouth takes on new power in the college environment.

Additionally, college students are digital natives. They never knew a world without smartphones and social media. They have the desire to share their lives and promote the brands and experiences that excite them. This gives your brand the potential to reach a national, and even global, audience.

But wait—aren’t college students poor? Don’t they survive on ramen? Some are—but that doesn’t mean they aren’t buying things. With money from parents, jobs, and student loans, their purchasing power isn’t something to scoff at. In fact, college students spent $523 billion dollars in 2015, 39% of which was discretionary spending (food, entertainment, clothes, transportation).

If brands can successfully connect with students and capture their loyalty during these key years, they will be able to retain their loyalty as they transition into new life phases. And trust us, the students who weren’t rolling in disposable cash will have the potential to spend a lot more after they graduate and enter the workforce.

You know you want your brand on campus but aren’t sure how to get started—what next? Finding the right partner is key to your success. Here at YMC, we’ve been helping brands connect with 15- to 29-year-old consumers for two decades—we’d be happy to share our wealth of knowledge with you. Contact us about college marketing today!

Education in a term leads a nation right

Education you can see, makes a future bright

Education thus, refine a generation

if all hands toss her gentle sure.

Generation in olden days passing by

and nothing to show by and by

day and time and day

sleeping away in tide and sun and hay

Everyday the sun

weep for giant’s sons

like a shriveled husks

by the shinning rusts

Begging for food

from the herbs of woods

who robbed them their worlds

for their worlds

for their rotten lust

Without education we can not grow

looking at other world’s you watch them glow

do not be jealous but come back home

with education you can turn it all

Science and technology develop  across the world

they were not thrown just over the wall

but good leaders thought their good and all

with education and all we can claim the hall

Do not be a waiting and a doubting Thomas

have faith in yourself like Peter of the rock

do not be a glutton who knows the plate to the top

focus on your education and refine your thoughts.

Without education there will be no communication

running here and there to get better attention

but if you sit and resolve to get educated

to be honest my friend you will get respected.

Parents and children do not jeopardize education

it is only the way to get to the top

do not mince the education the only glory of a nation

but scarcity of literates it is a battle and a loss.

Trendies and Niceties blind away time

how focus are you to climb very high?

but all this wastes  in  a fleeting prime

you will pay a fortune with a sigh and sigh.

aren’t you sick with your country’s headache

aren’t you expedite to make her healed?

do not throw yet the towel, focus on your education.

Bright future we have in this great nation

but people like us must be part of our motion

to change the fate of our fated passion

but without education we are stacked like friction.

Education is important for every child

they are created to lead but must be led to lead

let’s make them credible in loyalty not deprived

but most importantly, we must  refine their generation.

They are the salt of the nation

do not make them a goofy person

they are the future of tomorrow

shining bright like a lamp out of sorrow.

Good leaders and followers they will be in this

if you ask it is through education

go ahead and shine yourself

with education you can turn it all.

Join hands together to build this great nation

you are a vessel of honour

therefore, parent and children let us work

together to refine a generation.

The Hummingbird Story

Le mouvement Colibri, faire sa part
Hummingbird movement -do your part.

Contribution by Adrien

I wanted to share a story that I read to my son quite often. It was written by a group of people in France whose focus is on educating and building a more sustainable society – the hummingbird movement.

Several animals lived in the Jungle and lived without worries. One day the animals had to face a huge bushfire and they were all helpless –“ There is nothing we can we do” they said. All except the little “Colibri” (Hummingbird). He was picking small drops of water in his beak and flew over the fire releasing the water. Everyone told him that it was completely useless. The hummingbird replied that he knew that this was far from being sufficient: but he was doing his part. The story finishes with all the animals working together, each doing his part to try and put out the fire.

Pierre Rhabi is an Algerian man who initiated the Hummingbird movement in France – Mouvement Colibris. He is a pioneer of organic agriculture in France. He works for small communities to be food self-sufficient and preserve their cultural heritage. He is also a writer and philosopher.

Created in 2007, the hummingbird movement was born to build a more sustainable society. The goal is to inspire and support citizens.

When I reflect on the story, It is true that I often reflect upon whether my actions make a difference– tangible impact. Sometimes it is good to just do the actions that we know are right. Whether or not they make a difference is not relevant. All the effort will add up eventually.

What is interesting is that the story of the hummingbird does not tell whether the animals where successful or not with the bushfire – it is an open end.

Album Review
Alex Mejía
Reviewed 2019-10-30
Klein - “Lifetime”
Reviewed by Alex Chano

Experimental electronic/acoustic music with a beat and satisfying dynamics - vocals, synths, lots of choppiness but coherent. Sonic collage type music from UK (South London) experimental musician/producer.

RIYL: Aphex Twin, Holly Herndon, experimental music with great sonic textures
FCCs: 9!
Favorite tracks: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7,

1. * “Lifetime” - 3:29 - Intense synth and vocals that have a false sending about 1:15 into the track.
2. “Claim it” - 6:30 - atmospheric and abstract intro; dope beat comes in at 1:30. Vocal chops. Atmospheric ending
3. “Listen and See as They Take” - 5:02 - camp fire-type sounds as intro, then synths come in and get layered with some other sounds before fuzzed out destruction at the end.
4. “Silent” - 3:05 - aggro drums right from the start; soothing synths and then more upbeat and intense percussion. Cool breakdown at 1:44. False stops throughout.
5. “For What Worth” ft. Matana Roberts - 4:25 - scary chanting sounds and pitch shifted voice; creepy vibes! Lots of micro chops of vocals sound awesome. Cool saxophone lines on this one too!
6. “Enough is Enough” - 5:00 - lots of interesting wind instrument textures, maybe melodica, air, playing an interesting melody. Piano.
7. “We Area Almost There” - 3:10 - radio/tv samples; beautiful singing, mixed in with sampled. Very cool vocal track.
8. “Never Will I Disobey” - 4:03 - cool piano loop and some interesting percussion and other sample chops. Very cool frequencies in the mix. Lots of sonic space taken up but all in their own spectral range.
9. “Honor” - 9:43 - FCC - f-bomb - soundscape with birds and wishy ocean sounds; interesting dialogue samples focused on accountability. The voices get pitch shifted and some really interesting sounds come in. Lots of territory covered - from weird stuff to nice lush synths, and then really chopped up stuff where everything drops out.
10. “Camelot is Coming” - 1:26 - really interesting vocal samples processed with pitch shifts and other glitchy stuff.
11. “99” - 1:23 - poem about crying by your mums side over a really nice loop that sounds pitch shifted. Very satisfying static in the background.
12. “Protect My Blood” - 5:13 - dialogue sample and intense keys and synths give it a horror movie vibe for the bulk of the track before the last 45 seconds or so gets much more ethereal and pretty, while still maintaining some of the creepy organ/synths from the beginning.

Track Listing
1.Lifetime 7.We Are Almost There
2.Claim It 8.Never Will I Disobey
3.Listen And See As They Take 9.Honor
4.Silent 10.Camelot Is Coming
5.For What Worth 11.99
6.Enough Is Enough 12.Protect My Blood

Welcome, I'm Tracey, and I host a small number of cherished listings that I own. My philosophy is to create spaces that I’d like to stay in. Spaces that are not your average, forgettable ‘cookie-cutter’ stay. Spaces that instead offer stylish design, unique touches, and interesting neighborhoods. In the past three years, I’ve welcomed over 1000 guests from all over the world to my historic 1930’s Art Deco fourplex in vibrant Old East Dallas. I love being an Airbnb host. I love furniture, fashion trends, art, and textiles and I love putting them together. Most of all, I love putting them together for other people to enjoy. That’s what I hope to do for you while you’re in Dallas… help you have an AMAZING stay. Want to know more about me? I’ll keep it simple and random. I’m originally from Australia, and yes, I still have the accent and I do love Vegemite. I’m based in San Francisco but travel to Dallas every other month for work. This means I know the best places to eat and drink in both cities! Make sure to ask me for my Dallas list! I’m creative at heart. In the past, I’ve worked as a photographer, an eyewear designer, and a horticulturist. If I had my time over again I'd be an interior designer. I believe in 'travel karma', so I try to be a good host and a good guest. I welcome you to stay with me! Tracey x

With the AC working nicely, I put about 200 miles on the 318ti the other day just to see how it would do, and for the most part it did great! I also found that the M42 revs to about 6800 before hitting a limiter, neat.

Upon parking the car at my shop for a few hours I discovered some puddles underneath the diff and transmission. Looking underneath the car, I discovered the diff was leaking pretty badly:

In about 15 minutes I had the diff out, and found the side seals to be completely destroyed, probably from me shoving output flanges into a diff that had been sitting for 10 years. Easy fix though.

With the side seals replaced, I took it as an opportunity to easily service the fluid, so I drained out the minuscule amount of fluid that was still in the diff and replaced it with some Liqui-Moly 75W90 that I had laying around at the shop.

Moving onto the transmission, I found a similar mess:

With the diff out, it was trivial to just unbolt the driveshaft and move it out of the way so I could access the leaky output seal and leaky selector rod seal.

New seals went in without much drama, and I cleaned things up a bit.

Of course I couldn't resist replacing all the shifter bushings while I was there, so it got those too. All the bits were pretty inexpensive and readily available so why not?

Everything went back together nicely, and I was left with a diff and transmission that didn't leak anything. The transmission also got its fluid changed out, since it was low from leaking it out. It was about 3 hours of work for all of this stuff, not too bad.

From Oracle FAQ
Jump to: navigation, search

Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM) FAQ

Why should we use separate ASM home?[edit]

ASM should be installed separately from the database software in its own ORACLE_HOME directory. This will allow you the flexibility to patch and upgrade ASM and the database software independently.

How many ASM instances should one have?[edit]

Several databases can share a single ASM instance. So, although one can create multiple ASM instances on a single system, normal configurations should have one and only one ASM instance per system.

For clustered systems, create one ASM instance per node (called +ASM1, +ASM2, etc).

How many diskgroups should one have?[edit]

Generally speaking one should have only one disk group for all database files - and, optionally a second for recovery files (see FRA).

Data with different storage characteristics should be stored in different disk groups. Each disk group can have different redundancy (mirroring) settings (high, normal and external), different fail-groups, etc. However, it is generally not necessary to create many disk groups with the same storage characteristics (i.e. +DATA1, +DATA2, etc. all on the same type of disks).

To get started, create 2 disk groups - one for data and one for recovery files. Here is an example:

CREATE DISKGROUP data    EXTERNAL REDUNDANCY DISK '/dev/d1', '/dev/d2', '/dev/d3', ....;
CREATE DISKGROUP recover EXTERNAL REDUNDANCY DISK '/dev/d10', '/dev/d11', '/dev/d12', ....;

Here is an example how you can enable automatic file management with such a setup:

ALTER SYSTEM SET db_create_file_dest   = '+DATA' SCOPE=SPFILE;
ALTER SYSTEM SET db_recovery_file_dest = '+RECOVER' SCOPE=SPFILE;

You may also decide to introduce additional disk groups - for example, if you decide to put historic data on low cost disks, or if you want ASM to mirror critical data across 2 storage cabinets.

In 11gR2, an ASM Instance can have up to 63 disk groups, 10,000 disks and 1 million files for each disk group. In 12c, an ASM instance can have up to 511 disk groups, the other limits are not changed.

Should I create table and index tablespaces in separate diskgroups?[edit]

No, tables and indexes can be stored within a single disk group. Do not create different disk groups for tables and indexes.

How to check how much disk space is allocated/ in-use by an ASM instance?[edit]

Login to your +ASM instance (SYS AS SYSDBA) and execute the following query:

SQL> SELECT name, free_mb, total_mb, free_mb/total_mb*100 "%" FROM v$asm_diskgroup;
NAME                              FREE_MB   TOTAL_MB     %
------------------------------ ---------- ---------- -----
DATA                               917104    1482145  61.9
RECOVER                             17387      17437  99.7

From Oracle 10g Release 2, one can also use the asmcmd command line utility:

Used_MB      Mirror_used_MB
   1523                1523
ASMCMD> lsdg
State    Type    Rebal  Unbal  Sector  Block       AU  Total_MB  Free_MB  Req_mir_free_MB  Usable_file_MB  Offline_disks  Name
MOUNTED  EXTERN  N      N         512   4096  1048576     11264     9885                0            9885              0  DISKGROUP1/
MOUNTED  EXTERN  N      N         512   4096  1048576     10240     9906                0            9906              0  FLASH/

How big should I make my datafiles within ASM?[edit]

Use uniform sized files (say 2 or 4 GB each). Reason being that the a 2TB datafile will unnecessarily extend backup and recovery times.

ASMCMD is very slow. How can I speed it up?[edit]

The asmcmd utility appears to be very slow. This slowness is a result of queries against the v$asm_diskgroup view. To solve this problem edit the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/asmcmdcore script and change all v$asm_diskgroup references to v$asm_diskgroup_stat.

V$asm_diskgroup and v$asm_diskgroup_stat provides exactly the same information, but the %_stat view operates from cache, while v$asm_diskgroup rescans all disk headers. This method is also used by Oracle in their Enterprise Manager product.

ASM disk header/superblock backups?[edit]

ASM disk headers (superblocks) cannot be backed up and restored in Oracle 10g. By implication, if you use EXTERNAL REDUNDANCY and a single disk's header is accidentally overwritten, the entire disk group will have to be restored. To solve this problem, Oracle introduced the md_backup and md_restore asmcmd commands in Oracle 11g. In Oracle 10g, the only viable method to prevent logical corruption of ASM header block is to add failgroup, storage vendor has no responsibility to verify/checksum ASM disk header blocks (EXTERNAL REDUNDANCY is not going to help). There is a kfed utility to backup ASM disk headers and restore them for LIMITED scenario. It is best to be executed under guidance of a few elite support engineers. Oracle did not advertise the utility due to the potential damage it could cause. For those unrecoverable (tedious manual fixes) cases, restoring disk group is the last resort.

How does one create a database directly on ASM?[edit]

The trick is to create an SPFILE and restart the instance before issuing the CREATE DATABASE statement:

CREATE SPFILE FROM pfile='initorcl_0.ora';

Point all OMF files into ASM:

ALTER SYSTEM SET db_create_file_dest = '+DATA';
ALTER SYSTEM SET db_recovery_file_dest = '+RECOVER';

Issue the create database command:

   character set "WE8ISO8859P1"
   national character set "AL16UTF16";

Civilian Deaths From US Drone Attacks Much Higher Than Reported

Civilian Deaths From US Drone Attacks Much Higher Than Reported

Gareth Porter: New investigative work shows that civilian deaths in Pakistan, including from second wave attacks, higher than Pentagon reports

Gareth Porter is a historian and investigative journalist on US foreign and military policy analyst. He writes regularly for Inter Press Service on US policy towards Iraq and Iran. Author of four books, the latest of which is Perils of Dominance: Imbalance of Power and the Road to War in Vietnam.

PAUL JAY, SENIOR EDITOR, TRNN: Welcome to The Real News Network. I’m Paul Jay in Baltimore. And welcome to this week’s edition of The Porter Report with investigative journalist and historian Gareth Porter. Thanks for joining us, Gareth.

JAY: So what have you been working on this week?

PORTER: Well, this week I—over the weekend I just published a major investigative report on the real level of civilian casualties in U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan, as based on the actual data gathered by a Pakistani lawyer for the families of the victims of drone strikes, and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism in London based on their interviews with eyewitnesses and others in the areas where the strikes take place. This is really the first effort to come up with a set of data that can be compared with the data that’s been published by the New America Foundation on its website, something they call “Year of the Drone”, which keeps track of every strike that is covered in the news media and keeps a running tally on casualties. And so what we can do now is see that the New America Foundation has been systematically underestimating or underplaying, underreporting the number of civilian casualties in the U.S. drone war in Pakistan over the past three years.

JAY: And what are the numbers that now—that you think are correct?

PORTER: Well, the numbers—there are a lot of numbers my piece, and in order to really boil this down to the simplest terms, what I’ve done is to combine all of these strikes in 24—the data on all the strikes in 24 cases, which involved 11 strikes which the Pakistani lawyer Shahzad Akbar gathered material on and 13 strikes on which the Bureau of Investigative Journalism gathered material. And combining all that data, what we find is that the number of—the proportion, I should say, of the civilian casualties and the total casualties which was reported by the New America Foundation as being 38 percent in these 24 strikes is in fact 70 percent.

That’s a huge difference, an 84 percent increase in the proportion of civilians in those casualties reported in these 24 strikes. So it’s really quite a major revelation. It’s a major reversal, because previously civilian casualties were being reported as a fairly—certainly much less than 50 percent, and now they’re much more than 50 percent of the casualties in this set of 24 strikes.

JAY: And of course that’s leading to increased outrage in Pakistan.

PORTER: Well, definitely. I mean, these strikes, everybody understands that—I mean, no one denies that the drone war in Pakistan has created enormous anti-American sentiment throughout the country. And particularly, of course, in the areas where the strikes have taken place, they generate not just anger, but I think it’s generally agreed that the Taliban and al-Qaeda and other groups have been able to generate more enthusiasm for support for the jihadist sentiment that they represent. So, I mean, it’s—by every measure that is available, there’s no question that these strikes are doing precisely the opposite of what they’re supposed to do, which is allegedly to weaken the al-Qaeda hold on the territory, like North and South Waziristan, where the strikes are taking place.

And what we can say, really, you know, it seems to me, is that this new set of data underlines more clearly than ever before that what’s really going on is that U.S. policy on the drone war is not being guided by any objective assessment of U.S. interests, security interests or any other interests; it’s being guided by the bureaucratic interests of the CIA, which is, of course, responsible for the drone war in Pakistan and elsewhere, and which has a vested interest in keeping this war going because their budget, their manpower, their mission has been built up for the past few years around the drone war in Pakistan in particular.

JAY: And in today’s, Monday’s Guardian, Glenn Greenwald writes that the U.S. is actually using what they call a sort of double tap—in other words, essentially, a second strike after the first drone strike, deliberately targeting rescuers, which one would think has to enhance or increase the possibilities of killing civilians.

PORTER: Right. And let me make it clear that the 13 strikes that I talked about having been researched by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism were all strikes which are precisely the ones that you were talking about. They’re strikes that are targeted against either mourners at funerals of victims of previous drone strikes or striking at the rescuers of people who have been either killed or wounded in previous drone strikes. So, obviously, this is a very important category of drone strikes. And what we find is that the percentage of civilians (again, in the strikes that the Bureau of Investigative Journalism researched, based on local context, eyewitnesses and others) was much higher. It was roughly twice as high as it had been reported by the New America Foundation.

JAY: Right. And what else have you been following this week? I know you’ve been—written not very long ago about the debate in Israel over attacking Iran.

PORTER: Right. The story that I published last week for IPS was a story that looks at two particular interviews that were apparently given by Defense Minister Ehud Barak, in which—in the first one, on August 10, he suggests, well, what we really want, what the Netanyahu government really wants is for the United States to say publicly that if the Iranians don’t shut down their nuclear program, the United States will simply destroy their entire program next spring. But he said, well, we really can’t expect the Americans to do that; that’s not the way things work; they can’t really commit themselves to something that would be in the next administration.

So then five days later, on August 15, another interview, which has all the earmarks of an Ehud Barak interview as well (they don’t identify him in either one of these two interviews), says that what Israel is ready to do is to reconsider, quote-unquote, its unilateral military option of striking against Iran. If the Obama administration would simply do a couple of things, one, reiterate what Obama said in his AIPAC speech, that Israel has the right of self-defense and that the United States will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon, and then, more importantly and critically, associate the United States with the Israeli red line rather than the previous Obama red line, which is that Iran may not have the capability to have a nuclear weapon, that is, the technical capability, rather than actually make the key move, which intelligence would interpret as a sign that Iran is moving toward weaponization—those are two very different red lines. And what they want—.

JAY: Yeah, the Americans keep saying over and over again there’s been no decision to go ahead with a weapons program. But Israel is saying that’s not enough; we don’t even want them to be in a position to make such a decision.

PORTER: Exactly. And the Israelis do not disagree with that intelligence finding. It’s very clear that they agree with it. And what they’re saying now is that nevertheless they want the United States to say, in effect, that the U.S. will attack Iran if the Iranians continue along the line of continuing to build up their uranium enrichment capabilities.

JAY: And I feel like we can’t ever discuss this without reminding everyone that Israel has probably hundreds of nuclear weapons. And I guess one can draw one’s own conclusions about the hypocrisy of all of this. But you and I have discussed—. Sorry. Go ahead, Gareth.

PORTER: It’s not just hypocrisy. It’s also, I think—the point I was trying to make in this article and previous articles is that the Israeli threat, such as it is, because it’s not an explicit threat to attack Iran, but the suggestion that the Netanyahu government is seriously considering an attack on Iran in the future is really not serious. This has been, all along, a way of leveraging pressure on the United States and other countries to do more, and specifically in the case of the United States to try to push the U.S. in the direction of the demand which was outlined in that second—well, in both of those interviews that I mentioned.

JAY: Right. And you and I have talked about this before, but again, I think it bears saying again. And while all this debate and attention is on the issue of will Israel attack or not—and, of course, that’s of great significance, but there’s a real economic war against Iran already going on at a time when U.S. intelligence says there’s no weapons program. And the sanctions are certainly a form of economic warfare.

PORTER: They are an economic warfare. And how effective they will be is still an open question very hotly debated both in Washington and elsewhere. Some people believe that the Iranians will certainly cave eventually. Maybe so, but one of the stories that has come out this week which I think is very important for people to understand is that the Iraqi government, the one that the United States put into power through its occupation of Iraq, is now being found to help Iran greatly to get around the U.S. sanctions. And this is only one of the ways in which Iran has been able to do so. So it’s not at all a black-and-white case, to say the least.

JAY: Alright. Thanks very much for joining us, Gareth.

PORTER: Thank you, Paul.

JAY: And join us next week for The Porter Report on The Real News Network. And if you want to see more of this kind of programming, don’t forget there’s a “Donate” button over there somewhere, because if you don’t do that, we can’t do this.

When I saw this set to be released from Lawn Fawn earlier this year, I could immediately picture making the cutest bookmarks and tags for family and friends with it!

I coloured up these images during our trip to Maui using my Tombow markers. I tried out a different colour for each critter and I am so glad I took the time to play around with them!

I finally spent some time putting them together with the Gotta Have Gingham paper.

Some of these sentiments really crack me up! I didn't glue down the front paws of these little critters so that they are able to hang over top of a page and keep your place.

And the backside makes these so fun, too.
