Good Luck Ben and team Landrover BAR

Nechung oracle in trance, delivering messages from the god Dorje Drakden. Although the god is usually summoned to enter the human medium's body by the Dalai Lama to answer questions for the Tibetan government, this occasion was commissioned by a group of monastics from south India - Sera Mey or Drepung, I think.
It is nearly impossible to get a "good" photo of the Oracle, because 1-he is moving, shaking and heaving the whole time, 2-flash photography and actually, any photography is discouraged, and 3-there are crowds of people shoving to get nearer to the medium. This was the only photo I got where you can clearly see his hands, the rice and so on. In all the others he is covered up by people seeking blessings and trying to decipher what he's saying.
You actually get a very accurate idea of the "Oracle experience" by watching the movie "Kundun."
My friend Stirling had the ultimate description of the headdress: she said it looks like the Dr Seuss book, "Bartholomew Cubbins and the 500 Hats."

Don't those panels make a beautiful gradient in the sunlight?
The Oracle Challenger flown by Sean Tucker put on quite the performance at the 2008 Joint Services Open House airshow at Andrews AFB. No other plane came close to the stunts and maneuvers that this plane performed.
I don't know, this just had a Roman look to it in my opinion, so I called it Oracle.

A view of the Oracle towers at blue hour. Ten years ago, I remember seeing a picture of these towers during daylight and always dreamt of working for this company :)

The weather finally cooperated (sort of) and I managed to get out and and shoot a bit. I drove up to Redwood Shores, to the lair of Larry and shot around Oracle HQ. Its an impressive campus, with an impressively large security force.

CLASS PROJECT HISTORY
The improved variant of L type destroyers. Destroyers were built by various yards and had differences in appearance. So, Mansfield, Mentor, Mastiff, Meteor, Miranda, Minos, Manly, Moon, Morning Star, Mauncey, Musketeer, Nerissa, Relentless and Rival were equipped with two-shafts machinery and first two were four-funnelled.
HMS ORACLE was in the group of Twenty additional 'M' class were ordered in September 1914, 16 of them to the Admiralty standard design(including HMS ORACLE) built without the cruising turbines (to accelerate delivery - except in Fairfield, Swan Hunter and Fairfield boats). Another improvement was to put No 2 102mm gun on a 'bandstand' as in the 'L' class. The doubling on the stempiece fitted as an emergency measure to the early 'M' class was now made standard to facilitate ramming of U-boats, but in the form of a single casting. The Yarrow 'specials' were similar to the Miranda but were 0.3m longer on the waterline and had raked stems and sloping sterns. The only other variants built thereafter were Thornycroft 'specials', which resembled the Admiralty boats but had flat-sided funnels and higher freeboard. In the later Admiralty-designed boats the stem was raked and the bows were given more flare to improve seakeeping. Machinery was non-standard, with geared-turbines in a few, triple screws in most, and twin screws in some. In July 1916 the Admiralty restored order to a chaotic situation by ordering that all 3-shaft destroyers building were to be listed as Admiralty 'M' class and future 2-shaft boats would be Admiralty 'R's; as a result Redmill and Redwing became Medina and Medora (renamed Medway two weeks later). Although there were some complaints about poor finish they proved sturdy craft and gave good value in four hard years of war. Because of hard driving and particularly because their hulls had not been galvanized they were worn out by 1919 and very few survived the wholesale scrappings in 1921. In all 90 were built, 79 Admiralty boats, and 11 'specials'.
The Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler relational model is an intermediate model between the logical model and the physical models. It supports relational design decisions independent of the constraints of the target physical platform(s). The relational model displays views, tables, columns and their datatypes and all relationships. Diagrams can be formatted to highlight groups of tables. In this example the tables assigned to different schema are highlighted through colour differentiation.
