Traveling the Oodnadatta Track in South Australia: Itinerary, Road Conditions and More
By Oksana & Max St John / Australia, South Australia / 22/06/2021 11/09/2021
Cutting through the red sands of northern South Australia, the Oodnadatta Track is one of Australia's most outback roads. It runs from Marree in the south to Marla in the north, with loads of unique historic sites along the way.
The Oodnadatta Track is a fun alternative to the Stuart Highway and a great way to get to Coober Pedy. It's 620 km of unsealed road known for being a little rough around the edges. But that just makes it all the more exciting.
The track is the attraction itself, with a side of ruins of former Ghan railway stations, trickling mound springs and quintessential outback scenery.
We found the journey well-worth the bumpy roads and dusty tracks, especially in our 4WD Troopy. It makes for an incredible route down to the Flinders Ranges or an unforgettable trip to Lake Eyre. If you're looking for an outback track to sink your teeth into, look no further!
This guide covers everything you need to know about the Oodnadatta Track and all of its must see stops.
About the Track
The Oodnadatta Track is a legendary unsealed outback road that follows the original trading route from Marree to Marla. It runs through a semi-desert and is a route dotted with waterholes and springs fed from the Great Artesian Basin. It became the chosen route for the Overland Telegraph and the Old Ghan Railway Line, creating lots of unique historic sites along the track.
It's also a similar route that explorer John McDouall Stuart followed on his expedition across Australia. Nowadays, the track passes through small outback towns with rust-covered railway sidings and dusty red sand. It's one of the more tame outback tracks in South Australia, making it a perfect adventure for any intrepid traveller.

Oodnadatta Track Conditions
Checking the current track conditions before hitting the road is essential and you'll want to come prepared. Things like reducing your tire pressure (around 25 psi is good) and slowing down for creek crossings and rutted areas will help keep the drive as smooth as possible.
Rainfall plays a big role in the condition of South Australian outback roads where dry conditions are optimal. After heavy rain, the track can be unpassable or only passable with a four-wheel drive.
We highly recommend checking current road conditions and respecting all the warnings and signage. No one wants to roll their vehicle or get stuck on a track that's clearly meant for 4WD only. Print out a mud map, pack a spare tire, and fit a UHF CB radio to cover your bases and enjoy the ride!
Oodnadatta Track Itinerary & Must-See Stops
Marree to William Creek (204 kms // 2.5 hours)
Dog Fence
The famously long South Australian dog fence spans 5,400 km and protects sheep in "the sheep zone" from dingoes. While it's not much to look at, it tells an interesting story of the history of the dingo fence and the role it has played on the local environment. If you've visited the fence near the Breakaways in Coober Pedy, you'll see a different stretch of it just west of Marree.
From Marree, you can also link up with the Birdsville Track. It's another outback track that ventures north into the Simpson Desert.

Alberrie Creek and Mutonia Sculpture Park
Heading north from Marree, you'll surely notice some unique art once you reach Alberrie Creek. The former siding on the Old Ghan Railway now serves as an installation of metal sculptures made from recycled rubbish. Look out for the two towering airplanes and giant metal dingo that sit at the entrance to Mutonia Sculpture Park.
Ghan Railway Sidings – Curdimurka
There are lots of railway sidings along the Oodnadatta Track with some in better condition than others. Curdimurka is particularly well preserved, with a desalination tower, bridge, and railway building still standing tall. It's a good place to stop and stretch your legs and get a glimpse into old railway history.
Lake Eyre South Lookout
Lake Eyre is the lowest point in Australia and the country's largest salt lake. While Lake Eyre South is rarely full, the lookout is a great place to stop and admire the view. You can walk down to the water's edge—or an empty basin depending on the time of year—and see the iconic landmark for yourself.
When we visited in May, Lake Eyre South was glimmering from the salty crust but was almost completely dry. Even without being flooded, a scenic flight over Lake Eyre is a worthy addition to a South Australia road trip. You can catch a flight from Marree or further along the Oodnadatta Track in William Creek.
Lake Eyre, Oodnadatta Track
Margaret Siding Ruin
Make a pit stop at Margaret Siding ruins to see a crumbling 1800s fettlers cottage. Fettlers were groups of men that maintained the railway track while living in small remote cottages along the way. They needed to be ready to jump on repairs immediately and Margaret Siding was one of their basecamps.
Margaret Siding Ruins, Oodnadatta Track
Mound Springs
Some of the most iconic mound springs in South Australia are located in Wabma Kadarbu Mound Springs Conservation Park along the Oodnadatta Track. Thirrka (Blanche Cup) and Pirdali-nha (The Bubbler) are the famous spots that are worth a stop. They hold great significance to the local Arabana people and are a habitat for many waterbirds. You can explore them easily off the main road but swimming in the mounds is not permitted.
Mound Springs Conservation Park
Coward Springs
One of the larger former railway stations along the Oodnadatta Track, Coward Springs is a must-see stop. The restored station now serves as a heritage site and campground with an unexpected twist—it has a natural spa onsite. You can take a dip in the natural spring-fed hot tub for just $2/person, but time your visit wisely, as the tub is small and can only fit 2-4 people inside.
Coward Springs sits beneath a shady canopy of date palms and athel pines, making it a great place to camp. Unlike much of the Oodnadatta Track, it also has a cell tower with 4G Optus service – a perfect spot for an overnight stay on the Oodnadatta.
Coward Springs, Oodnadatta Track
Irrapatana Sandhills
The beautiful red sandhills that line this stretch of the Oodnadatta Track are outliers of the nearby Simpson Desert. The road travels right through the sandy dunes and rolling ridges that are dotted with shrubs and clay pans.
William Creek
William Creek is the smallest town in South Australia but it's home to an iconic pub called the William Creek Hotel. The town is a gateway to Lake Eyre via scenic flights and gets quite popular when there's water in the basin.
Otherwise, the town has a whopping 10-person population but makes for an easy overnight stop on the Oodnadatta track. Located about halfway along the Oodnadatta Track, William Creek offers cell coverage, snacks, drinks, a fuel station, hotel, a pub and a campground. It's a great place to stretch your legs and cool off with a drink before embarking on the second half of the track. This is also where you can turn off for a detour toward Lake Eyre and Halligan Bay.
Where to Stay: Camping at Coward Springs or William Creek
Coward Springs and William Creek are some of the most popular Oodnadatta Track camping spots. Both have accommodation for tents and a caravan park with toilets and showers. Camping at Coward Springs is $15 per person per night and William Creek is $12 per person.
If Oodnadatta camping isn't on your agenda, the William Creek Hotel also offers hotel rooms and air-conditioned cottages.
William Creek to Oodnadatta (201 kms // 2.5 hours)
Anna Creek
Just outside of William Creek, you'll find Anna Creek, the largest cattle station in the world. It was also a former repeater station on the Overland Telegraph Line and once had mound springs nearby. Sadly, the mound springs are now dry but the area is still an interesting stop along the track.
Edwards Creek
Pass through this shallow shady creek and keep your eyes peeled for the pink sign. Adam Plate, the late owner of the Pink Roadhouse, put handmade sign markers throughout the entire Oodnadatta Track. This one marks the official halfway point of the track with some much-needed motivation to tackle the remaining 320 km.
Peake Telegraph Station and Ruins
If you have a good 4WD vehicle, be sure to check out the ruins of the old Peake Telegraph Station. The track is rough and slow-moving but is a worthy detour to see the crumbling fettler cottages. All things considered, the ruins are in pretty good shape and have been partially restored by Heritage SA.
In addition to being a repeater station, the area used to be a small village and mine. You can spend an hour or two exploring the ruins.
Algebuckina
Easily the most photographed bridge along the Oodnadatta Track, Algebuckina is the longest railway bridge in South Australia. Spanning 578 metres, the bridge once serviced the Old Ghan Railway and was built to allow the Ghan train to cross the river during the floods.
Today, the bridge still stands tall above the Neales River and a campsite has been established approximately 1km from the bridge on the east side of the track. The campsite is one of the few spots along the track with a permanent waterhole. Camping is free and there are great views from the river up to the bridge, especially at sunset.
Mt Dutton Lookout
Another siding of the Old Ghan Railway, Mt Dutton has historic ruins and a towering structure that you can see from the road. It's also the site of an old grave, which is for the workers that passed during gruelling railway construction.

Oodnadatta to Marla (217 kms // 4 hours)
Pink Roadhouse
This namesake town is a true icon of the outback. Oodnadatta is home to the Pink Roadhouse, the little pink building that you surely can't miss. The Oodnadatta Track was named by late Pink Roadhouse owner Adam Plate in 1980 and the town has had cult status ever since. Travelers from all over journey to the historic desert roadhouse for mud maps and insider info.
The roadhouse is a good place to stop for a beer, bite to eat and to connect to the world. Both Optus and Telstra users will have reception here. Plus, it's one of the essential Oodnadatta Track fuel stops complete with on-brand pink fuel pumps.
Those looking to spend the night can do so for $15/person/night at the Oodnadatta Caravan Park or the Oodnadatta Free Camp nearby.

Kathleen Creek
The last stretch of the Oodnadatta Track veers off from the Ghan railway line so there's not much to see in terms of historic sites. That said, there are lots of nice waterholes and creek crossings with cattle wandering about. Kathleen Creek is a peaceful shady area with camping spots along the turn-off for Todmorden Station.
Marla Travellers Rest
The final stop on the Oodnadatta Track is the sleepy town of Marla. Marla sits on both the Oodnadatta Track and the Stuart Highway and has all the facilities any road trip needs. In particular, clean toilet facilities and much-needed showers!
Marla Travellers Rest is a roadhouse where you can re-pump your tires, fuel up, and even swim in a pool. Plus, Marla is the only place where you can spot the modern-day Ghan train passing through on the new railway tracks.
How long does it take to drive the Oodnadatta Track?
To drive from Marree to Marla is a 620 km journey that takes 9 hours. But this drive is more about the journey than the destination, so we recommend spending at least 3 days on the Oodnadatta Track to space out the drive and see the sights.
Is the Oodnadatta Track OK for caravans?
With the right preparation, the Oodnadatta Track can be doable in 2WD campers and caravans. But the road is unsealed, heavily corrugated and is best suited for off-road campers and trailers. Some travelers told us it's the worst road they've been on, others completed it without any issues. We certainly wouldn't recommend it for shiny new rigs, as we've seen plenty of travelers lose bits of their caravans on these corrugated roads!
How rough is the Oodnadatta Track?
The track is certainly rough, dusty, and sandy but it's actually one of the easier outback tracks in Australia. The road conditions and level of corrugations are largely dependent on recent rains, so be sure to check conditions and plan accordingly.

According to Christopher Callahan, dean of the Cronkite School, the new partnership prepares students for a variety of advanced reporting, legal, governmental and social service careers.
Students in the program choose from one of three different focus areas in the School of Transborder Studies: media and expressive culture; transborder community development and health; or U.S. and Mexican regional immigration policy and economy.
At the Cronkite School, students take a variety of advanced journalism skills courses as well as a signature professional program, such as the Cronkite News daily newscast and website.
Edward Escobar, acting director and associate professor of the School of Transborder Studies, said students graduating from the dual degree program will have enhanced career opportunities in working with the nation's largest and fastest growing ethnic group.
The Cronkite School announced the new dual degree program in February with a partnership with the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering to offer dual degrees in journalism and graphic information technology in fall 2015.

A series of Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera images have revealed a new crater and more than 200 related surficial changes up to 30 kilometers distant.
The moon is pelted with cosmic debris all the time, but the largest explosion on its surface that we've actually recorded occurred two years ago today. On March 17, 2013, an object the size of a small boulder hit the surface in Mare Imbrium and exploded in a flash of light nearly 10 times as bright as anything ever recorded before.
Since 2005, astronomers have monitored the moon for signs of explosions caused by meteoroids hitting its surface. When a meteoroid strikes the moon, a large portion of the impact energy goes into heat and excavating a crater; however, a small fraction goes into generating visible light, which results in a brilliant flash at the point of impact.
The brightest flash recorded by researchers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center occurred on March 17, 2013 with coordinates 20.6°N, 336.1°E. The team predicted the crater's size based on the energy, and they eagerly awaited LROC's next pass over the location to confirm their calculations.
Being able to get observations before, during and after the impact is a valuable opportunity to understand impact events better. Comparing the actual size of the crater to the brightness of the flash helps validate impact models.
LROC's first set of post-impact flash images acquired on May 21, 2013 by the Narrow Angle Camera were targeted on the Marshall-reported coordinates, and numerous small surface disturbances ("splotches") were detected by comparing the pre- and post-flash images, but no new crater was found.
A second set of Narrow Angle Camera images was acquired on July 1, 2013 showing three faint, ray-like features and several chains of splotches and asymmetric splotches that generally pointed to a common area west of the Marshall coordinates. A Narrow Angle Camera pair was targeted on that convergence point for July 28, 2013; comparison of this third set of images with preexisting coverage revealed a new crater.
The crater itself is small, measuring 18.8 meters (61.7 feet) in diameter, but its influence large; debris excavated by the sudden release of energy flew for hundreds of meters. More than 200 related surficial changes up to 30 kilometers (19 miles) away were noted.
Not only did the LROC images reveal intricate details of ejecta distribution, but they also offered a valuable opportunity to study the structure of the top meter of the regolith. Regolith is a term that refers to a soil that is lacking organic material.
The soil on the moon is formed slowly over time as micrometeorites impact the surface and slowly grind rocks into a fine powder. As the fresh soil grains sit on the surface, they are exposed to radiation and slowly become darker and redder (mostly due to reduction of iron in minerals to iron metal – reverse of rusting that happens on Earth). This slow change in reflectance and color is generally referred to as space weathering; fresh soil is referred to as immature, and weathered soil is mature. The longer a soil sits on the surface, the more mature it becomes.
Several surprises were revealed in the before and after image pairs around the new crater. Conventional thought predicted that the new crater should be surrounded by a high reflectance ejecta blanket out to about a crater diameter with some patchy ejecta spreading out two or three diameters.
"The high reflectance was there, but three other zones were discovered. At the edge of the high reflectance ejecta was a low reflectance zone, then, beyond that, another high reflectance zone, and beyond that, another low reflectance zone," reports Mark Robinson, a professor in ASU's School of Earth and Space Exploration and LROC's principal investigator.
The results are published in the Jan. 31 edition of the journal Icarus.
It's not easy to find new impact craters because most of them are very small. The only way to really do this is to have a before image and an after image to compare.
LROC began systematically mapping the moon in the summer of 2009. Now, the team is going back to images taken in the first year or two and comparing them to recent images. Called temporal pairs, these before/after images enable the search for a range of surface changes, including new impact craters formed between the time the first and second image were acquired.
As of Jan. 1, 2015, LROC has acquired about 10,000 before and after image pairs. Manual scanning of all these pairs is impractical so Robinson's team developed a computer program that automatically identifies suspected changes from each temporal pair.
With the help of the automated tool, the team has identified 225 new impact craters ranging in size from 1.5 meters to 43 meters (4.9 feet to 140 feet) and over 25,000 small changes known as "splotches" (likely unresolved primary and secondary craters).

The Household Cavalry Museum, London
Trip Planner: Europe / UK / England / London / The Household Cavalry Museum
With a proud tradition of over three centuries
service as a bodyguard to the Sovereign, and made
up of the British Army's two most senior regiments,
the Household Cavalry sits at the very heart of the cultural and military heritage of Britain. The Regiment's rich history stretches back
to 1660, from descendants of King Charles II's Life
Guards and the Earl of Oxford's 'Blues'. Since then
it has forged a tradition, ethos and reputation for
excellence and professionalism, whether it is for
State Ceremonial duties, or the British Army's operational requirements.
Every Household Cavalry soldier is first and
foremost a fighting soldier, and uniquely in the
British Army, the Household Cavalry use their
qualities to excellent effect by combining their role
in armoured fighting vehicles with the mounted
State Ceremonial role. It is this flexibility that has
allowed us to remain at the forefront of the combat
operations of today, whilst still maintaining the
highest standards and strong traditions of the past.
It couldn't be easier to arrange your visit to The Household Cavalry Museum and many more London attractions: make an itinerary online using Inspirock's London day trip planning website .

Steps from the St James Park and Whitehall Palace, is the Museum of the British cavalry, a small space that houses a collection of objects related to the Army Corps, which exposes uniforms, war and ceremonies objects, in addition to commemorate the history, achievements and the functions of the regiment mounted English. We went there by chance it was not within our plans to enter, but instead could observe and take photos of the soldiers of both a guard standing as a horse, which were stationed on its doorstep.

The Royal Guards are very well dressed and well disciplined. Nice to click some photographs with them. Would be great if you can sync with the timing of the change of guards, that's very nice to watch. It goes till the palace.
By Bruno Carr
Quieter guard change than Buckingham palace but more fun with the Horses. Top tip watch from junction of The Mall and Horse Guard Parade to see the arrival of new guard then follow to parade ground for change. Remember the whole thing takes half hour.

PENELOPE SUE (PENNY) ROGERS


Findings about the biological links between obesity, type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance may also shed light on the connection between cancer and obesity, a researcher says.
In a study published online June 5 in the journal Cell, UT Dallas' Dr. Jung-whan (Jay) Kim and colleagues at the University of California, San Diego found that a protein called HIF-1 alpha plays a key role in the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes in obese mice.
The researchers genetically engineered mice to lack the HIF-1 alpha protein within the animals' fat cells, or adipocytes. The animals still made HIF-1 alpha in other types of cells and tissues in their bodies. Although the mice became obese when fed a high-fat diet, they did not develop insulin resistance and diabetes to near the extent that genetically normal, obese mice did.
"There is clearly a greater chance among the obese human population to develop insulin resistance and diabetes. We still don't know the exact mechanism, but now we know that HIF-1 alpha is very active in the pathogenesis of these diseases from obesity," said Kim, a co-lead author of the study who conducted the research while a postdoctoral researcher at UC San Diego and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. He joined the UT Dallas faculty as an assistant professor of molecular and cell biology in 2013.
Why Does Obesity Causes Diabetes?
Being overweight increases the chances of developing the common type of diabetes, type 2 diabetes. In this disease, the body makes enough insulin but the cells in the body have become resistant to the salutary action of insulin. Why does this happen?
New Research: A report this week in Science proposes that being overweight stresses the insides of individual cells. Specifically, overeating stresses the membranous network inside of cells called endoplasmic reticulum (ER). When the ER has more nutrients to process than it can handle, it sends out an alarm signal telling the cell to dampen down the insulin receptors on the cell surface. This translates to insulin resistance and to persistently high concentrations of the sugar glucose in the blood - one of the sure signs of diabetes.
To study the effect HIF-1 alpha might have on the development of insulin resistance and diabetes, Kim and his colleagues used genetic engineering techniques to completely remove, or "knock out" HIF-1 alpha from adipose tissue in obese mice.
As of 1999, diabetes affected 16 million (six percent) of Americans - an increase of 40 percent in just ten years.
- During the same period, the obesity rate climbed from 12 percent to almost 20 percent.
- Last year the diabetes and obesity rates increased 6 percent and 57 percent.
- Every three seconds, someone is diagnosed with diabetes.
- Of the children born in 2000, one in three will eventually develop diabetes.
Although both diabetes and obesity risk factors are often associated with race, age, and family history, it's becoming more and more clear that the conveniences of modern life also contribute to the development of both diseases. For example, sedentary lifestyles (reduced physical activity) and the popularity of high fat, high energy diets (think "Super Size Me") and convenient foods are known to lead to obesity - but do they also cause diabetes?
Of the people diagnosed with type II diabetes, about 80 to 90 percent are also diagnosed as obese. This fact provides an interesting clue to the link between diabetes and obesity. Understanding what causes the disease will hopefully allow us to prevent diabetes in the future.
Being overweight places extra stress on your body in a variety of ways, including your body's ability to maintain proper blood glucose levels. In fact, being overweight can cause your body to become resistant to insulin. If you already have diabetes, this means you will need to take even more insulin to get sugar into your cells. And if you don't have diabetes, the prolonged effects of the insulin resistance can eventually cause you to develop the disease.
"Tumor cells grow really fast, but the blood vessels that feed them oxygen cannot grow fast enough, so tumor cells become hypoxic," Kim explained. "The tumor cells have to develop some sort of mechanism to survive under hypoxic stress, and that's HIF-1 alpha.
Kim said one motivation for the Cell study was to gain a better understanding of the links between obesity and cancer.

Q: The .net NameSpace Questions I am very sorry that I do not say the problem very clearly. I provided some of the code for easier to understanding.
The project.aspx that I would like to call the function getConnectionString():
_conn = new OdbcConnection(FirstFunction.getConnectionString());
The coding of the FirstFunction.class I created myself:
namespace myownfunction
{
     public string getConnectionString(){

     return "Database1";}
}

But the project.aspx cannot resolve the getConnectionString() using the namespace I created in the FirstFunction.class. It just know how to resolve using the namespace in the dll.

A: You can't place functions directly inside a namespace.  They have to be inside a class:
namespace myownfunction
{
   public class MyUtilities
   {
     public static string getConnectionString()
     {
         return "Database1";
     }
   }
}

Then you should be able to access this method with myownfunction.MyUtilities.getConnectionString()

A: Have you added a reference to the assembly you created to your project ? Without that the resolve function won't be able to find your implementation.
I do have a question - in your example you are using 'Hello" you will only be able to see method thats are part of that class.
You can use extension methods to add new methods to a class you don't have source code access to. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb383977.aspx

A: Please, refer to this guide to learn about namespaces. There are a lot of examples that can make you their use clearer.

Gli Apostoli sono un ciclo di dodici scultore in marmo di Gasparo Cairano e collaboratori, databile a entro il 1507 e conservato nella chiesa di San Pietro in Oliveto a Brescia, lungo le pareti della navata.

Storia
Il cantiere di integrale ricostruzione della chiesa di San Pietro in Oliveto nei primissimi anni del XVI ha pochissimi riscontri dal punto di vista dei documenti d'archivio e, in particolare, la realizzazione dell'apparato lapideo decorativo interno risulta totalmente privo di documentazione. Solamente padre Stipi, nel 1985, riferisce di aver letto sull'arco del coro la data "MDVII" (1507), compatibile con le opere realizzate, mentre risale al 1510, e relativa tra l'altro alla fabbrica dell'adiacente monastero, la telegrafica citazione di Antonio Medaglia "lapicida et architecto". A nulla concorrono, pertanto, i documenti dell'epoca, se non appunto a collocare ai primi del XVI secolo la ricostruzione dell'edificio e l'esecuzione dei marmi all'interno, rimasti quasi completamente inalterati nel corso dei secoli e ancora oggi conservati in sito.

Descrizione e stile
Il ciclo si compone di dodici busti, disposti ordinatamente, sei per lato, nei pennacchi superiori agli arconi delle cappelle laterali, dunque tre coppie a sinistra e tre a destra, relative ad altrettante cappelle laterali. La scarsità, quando non totale mancanza, di documenti su questi manufatti e il resto degli apparati lapidei della chiesa è molto probabilmente alla base della sfortuna critica di questa fabbrica, il cui cantiere fu il più importante della scultura rinascimentale bresciana dopo quello della chiesa di Santa Maria dei Miracoli e di palazzo della Loggia. Nonostante ciò, l'attribuzione perlomeno del ciclo di Apostoli risulta abbastanza semplice, la cui lettura stilistica ha portato Vito Zani, nel 2010, ad attribuirli in massima parte a Gasparo Cairano. L'assegnazione a questo scultore si basa sull'analogia, che lo Zani definisce "inequivocabile", tra gli Apostoli e opere documentate dell'autore, in primis i busti sul portale del duomo di Salò, contemporanei, alcuni dei quali possono essere addirittura visti come una replica letterale di questi ultimi. Per la seconda volta, dunque, il Cairano si trova a dover affrontare il tema degli Apostoli dopo il ciclo sul medesimo soggetto pagatogli nel 1489 per il santuario dei Miracoli, risolto comunque in modo molto diverso, soprattutto per la diversa concezione compositiva dei manufatti, che in quel caso erano statue libere entro nicchie. Altri Apostoli, invece, presentano varianti relative a un repertorio abbastanza limitato, con riscontri sulle sculture dell'arca di san Tiziano del 1505, sculture che lo Zani, in due diversi studi nel 2007 e nel 2010, attribuisce dubitativamente a Matteo Sanmicheli. Non è comunque esclusa una partecipazione anche del misconosciuto Antonio Medaglia, la cui personalità artistica, assieme a parte del catalogo di opere, sono stati ricostruiti sempre nel 2010 da Giuseppe Sava.

Questa palese collaborazione tra il Cairano e altri autori, indipendentemente dalla loro identificazione, è comunque rivelatrice di un'attitudine dimostrata più volte da questo artista all'indomani del cantiere della Loggia, ossia quella di far fronte alle numerose commissioni ricevute dal 1505 circa in poi avvalendosi dell'aiuto della bottega o di altri individui. L'esempio più peculiare è proprio il portale del duomo di Salò, eseguito in collaborazione con Antonio Mangiacavalli, ma anche lo stesso cantiere di San Pietro in Oliveto, dato che le posate partiture architettoniche che scandiscono la sequenza degli altari e la pregiata composizione architettonica dell'insieme sono estranee agli stilemi di Gasparo e, piuttosto, sono consone alla maniera dei Sanmicheli, i quali d'altronde possedevano l'unica bottega in città, oltre a quella del Cairano, in grado di impegnarsi in un'opera di queste proporzioni. Evidenti analogie nella costruzione architettonica e nella concezione delle cappelle laterali di San Pietro in Oliveto si trova tra queste e l'altare di san Girolamo nella chiesa di San Francesco d'Assisi, altra opera del Cairano che Giuseppe Sava, nel 2010, ha dimostrato essere frutto di una parziale collaborazione con Antonio Medaglia, aggiungendo un altro tassello al complicato e non sempre districabile panorama di aiuti e cooperazione che caratterizzò le fabbriche bresciane dell'epoca.

The 1st Strategic Missiles Groupment () is a former unit of the Strategic Air Forces of the French Air and Space Force.

History
The 1st SMG was formed in September 1968 as the land component of the French nuclear triad (together with the Navy's Redoutable-class ballistic nuclear submarines and the Air Force's fleet of Dassault Mirage IV nuclear bombers). The 1st SMG was an army unit armed with 18 S2 strategic nuclear ballistic missiles. It was based on the Plateau d'Albion in the southeast of France. The group reached operational readiness with its S2 missiles on 2 August 1971. The 18 missiles were split in two batteries (of 9 silos each), officially called "firing units" (unités de tir), which were formed respectively in 1970 and in 1972. The first battery was taken off duty in April 1978 in anticipation of the replacement of the S2s with the new S3 ballistic missiles; the modernization of the infrastructure for fielding of the new system commenced at the end of that year. The battery received its first S3 missile on 23 May 1980 (three months behind schedule from the timetable set in 1973) and reached operational readiness on 1 June. The two batteries formed the Firing Squadron 01.200 "Luberon" (l'Escadron de Tir (ET) 01.200 "Luberon")—the operational unit of the French Army's Strategic Missile Brigade 05.200 (Brigade de Missiles Stratégiques (BMS) 05.200), formed in May 1968. The "Luberon" Firing Squadron changed its designation from 01.200 to 02.394 in 1981.

In 1985, the land-based ballistic missile component was transferred from the French Army to the French Air Force. Thus, in June that year, the Strategic Missile Brigade 05.200 became the 95th Strategic Missile Wing (95e Escadre de Missiles Stratégiques (EMS 00.095)), the Firing Squadron 02.394 "Luberon" became its Strategic Missile Squadron 01.095 (Escadron de Missile Stratégique (EMS) 01.095), and the army base became an operational air force installation designated as Air Base 200 Apt-Saint-Christol. The base was protected by the Protection Squadron 21.200 (l'Escadron de protection (EP) 21.200), a dedicated missile air defence unit armed with Crotale SAMs, a dedicated NBC defence unit and the 04.067 Durance Helicopter Squadron (l'Escadron d'hélicoptères (EH) 04.067 Durance) providing perimeter security to the base. Protection Squadron 21.200 consisted of four paratrooper companies and additional support units such as horse-mounted and working dog platoons. It was formed in 1968 and split into two separate squadrons in 1978.

With the armed forces reduction in Europe after the end of the Cold War and the rapid technological advancements in guided weapon systems, the base's vulnerability increased. As a result, plans for the replacement of the S3 with a land version of the Navy's M5 strategic nuclear ballistic missile system were deemed impractical by the French government. On 22 February 1996 French President Jacques Chirac announced that the S3 missiles would be dismantled and that the Apt-Saint-Christol air base would be closed.

On 31 August 1998 the 1st Strategic Missile Group and the 04.067 Durance Helicopter Squadron were disbanded. The dismantling of the S3 missiles was completed the following year.

Q: Insert speed Temporary Table vs Normal table there are many threads about temporary tables vs table variables.
However, my question is, what makes temporary table much faster than normal table in Microsoft SQL Server?
My stored procedure runs 5 times as fast if I insert to temp table, and then just move data out of it into normal table.
The most obvious answer would be keys/indexs, but the normal table is without any keys at all.
What else would make it run faster?
Thanks

A: Several possibilities:

*

*TempDB could be on faster I/O

*Query could be parallel and taking advantage of multiple tempdb data files if you've configured it to do so

*TempDB could have room for the inserts while the user database has to wait for an autogrow

*User database could have constraints on logging as well for similar reasons

*User database might have to "wake up" - e.g. if it has AutoClose set to ON

Home newsitems EU Parliament's Spokesman Duch to EuroFora: All EU Citizens' Initiatives due to be heard by MEPs ?!
EU Parliament's Spokesman Duch to EuroFora: All EU Citizens' Initiatives due to be heard by MEPs ?!
It's next week that is due to be decided whether one of the Historic Innovations of EU's Lisbon Treaty : EU Citizens' Initiative proposing New Measures to become EU Law, which has legally entered into force since the beginning of April 2012, but remains still rather foggy from several practical points of vie until it's clarified and hammered out in real practice, will never be, at any case, totally blocked and silenced, even if EU Commission's agents might, eventually, decide (rightfuly or irregularly) not to give it any Legislative follow-up and satisfaction in substance, despite the fulfilment of all currently imposed formalities.
This seems to result in substance from the replies of the experienced EU Parliament's Spokesman and Director of Press/AV Service, Jaume Duch, to questions raised by "EuroFora" at the Press Briefing for this week's Plenary session in Strasbourg, which appear to prolonge further the ideas earlier suggested and discussed by "EuroFora" with EU Parliament's initial Rapporteurs Lamassoure, Gurmai and Haefner, as well as the competent EU Commission's vice-President Sefcovic (See relevant previous "EuroFora" NewsReports, f.ex. http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/debatesincitizensinitiatives.html ) :
- "Concerning the EU Citizens' Initiative, which has just entered (Legally) into force, (since April 1st), has EU Parliament scheduled to prepare a kind of Mechanism, as it was normaly foreseen by EU Commission's and EU Parliament's Draft ?", "EuroFora" started to ask EU Parliament's Spokesman from the outset.
+ "And, at your knowledge, does EU Parliament agree with the view recently attributed to EU Commissioner Cefcovic, that, even if a Popular Initiative might fullfil all the Conditions set up both by EU Treaty and EU Commission's Rules, nevertheless, EU Commission could, eventually decide not to bring that issue before EU Parliament, or do you think that this point is Open to Debate ?", (f.ex., if need be, also before the European Court of Justice, etc), we went on to add on the main issue at stake. --------------------
- " EU Parliament's Constitutional Committee (AFCO) is normally due to vote, next week (in Brussels) the Internal Rules, according to which the EU Citizens Legislative Initiative is going to be dealt with by the EU Parliament. This is going to be voted, at first, on Committee level, and afterwards by the Plenary", started to reply to "EuroFora"s Questions Duch.
=> - "What is important for EU Parliament, is that, even if EU Commission is going to eventually say "No" to some (Popular Legislative) Initiatives (which might fulfil all legal criteria), this would be done only after and Explanation with a crystal-clear Motivation", stressed on the main point at issue, the experienced EU Parliament's Spokesman.
- "Such an Explanation cannot take place but before EU Parliament. So that EU Commission should explain its position in front of EU Parliament, and, moreover, the Parliament will always have the possibility to organize a Hearing with those who organized the Initiative, in order to be better informed", Jaume Duch explained in particular, apparently based on an EU Parliament's Draft.
- "But, the concrete details are due to be adopted from Next Week", he underlined in conclusion cautiously, for the time being...
Renew Europe's Historic Legend with Parthenon's pure white marble at the eve of crucial 2009 EU Elections, was the ambition of an interesting Art Exhibition, with more topical Symbols than expected, organized by EU Parliament's 1st vice-President Rodi Kratsa-Tsagaropoulou and MEP Marie Panayotopoulos- Cassiotou, Chair of the Inter-group on Family policy, during March A session in Strasbourg.
According to the Ancient Legend, God Zeus, charmed by young Girl Europe, was trasformed into a strong Bull with Wings, and when she tamed him with Human affection, they flew over the Sea to live together in a New Land with large, fertile landscapes.
- "There, they saw the Continent with a "Large Front" ("Eureia -opse" in Greek => Eur-opse => Europe)", reminded the Sculptor, Mary Papaconstantinou, of the European Women Association, honored by awards in Paris, Athens and Strasbourg.
Thus, Europe's Legend combines Symbols of Energy and Strength, with caring Human personality, to bring towards New, large Horizons :
- "Modern Art for this Ancient Greek Legend here in Strasbourg reminds that Europe, placing Human dignity at its heart, always finds the strength to overcome any Crisis towards New achievements. And EU Parliament offers Citizens a chance to artfully interact", said MEP Panayotopoulos-Cassiotou.
Structured like some Rembrand's pictural sequences, Europe's sculptural exhibition forms a series of many statutes, sized and flat as a PC screen, representing many scenes inspired from the original Legend, "according to Moschos' text, a Writer of the 2nd century B.C.", said Sculptor Mary to "EuroFora".
Made by sparkling pure white Marble full of Symbols, they incite to think but also to act, as in front of a Book with half of its pages full of written text, but another half, free to write on white paper..
While several EU politicians think that one of the most important characteristics of the 2009 EU Elections is that from their outcome may depend Europe's Identity and Future, Culture Minister of Greece, Antonis Samaras (a former MEP) send the message that, precisely, such modern Art linked to Historic legends may help "EU Citizens search the origins of Europe's Identity".
- "The Legend says that they founded a New City, Thebes, and that reminds us that Europe is always a project of Invention and Creation", added EU Parliament's vice-President, Rodi Kratsa - Tsagaropoulou.
Sculptor Mary Papaconstantinou said that she "tried for years to find the same White Marble from Penteli Mountain that was used by Praxitelis and all those who created Parthenon", symbol of Democracy and one of the 7 wonders of the World.
- "By shaping this millenary Greek Marble to revive Europe's Ancien Legend with Modern Art, it reminds that Europe is a Hope for a better Future after Crisis, combining Energy for Development, with care for the Human person", said the sculptor's compatriot from Chios island, famous from French artist Delacroix's historic painting, MEP Panayotopoulos - Cassiotou.
She now lives with her Family close to Rhine river, at EU's heart, near Bonn, where had started to work for the first time on European issues the new EU Parliament's Secretary General, Klaus Welle :
By a symbolic coincidence, Europe's legend built anew with Parthenon's marble, marked for ever the beginning of young and energetic Welle's duties as new head of EU Parliament's administration, since he saluted the retiring, out-going S.G., the experienced Harold Rohmer, shortly afterwards, at another gathering on the same floor of Louise Weiss' superb building in Strasbourg...
Organisers of both events said that it was a pure coincidence. People are free to believe them, or hope otherwise...
They disagree in almost everything, except from one thing :
- EU Parliament's Art unites even opposed politicians in a common belief for Europe : Cyprus' example...
Rarely united together, but posing for "EuroFora" with the statute of Europe and Zeus flying over the Sea, ChristianDemocrat/EPP's MEP Yannis Kasulides, a frontrunner Presidential candidate in 2008, former Foreign Minister and Government Spokesman, and EuroLeft's MEP Kyriakos Triantafylides, Chairman of EU - Palestinian Council delegation, from the governing party AKEL (new Left) of the elected President, disagree on almost everything, except from their common claim that Europe of the Ancient Legend, when she flew with God Zeus from Ancient Phynecia to the West, must have crossed the island of Cyprus !
Hard to prove the contrary, 3.000 years later...

Mourinho Surprisingly Rejects Multiple Offers For Struggling United Player
By BF Staff | September 2, 2017 | 0
Reuters / Lee Smith
James Wilson was subject to a number of loan bids, but Manchester United decided not to let the player leave, as per Daily Mail.
Manchester United didn't give into the temptation of loaning out James Wilson due to player's ongoing recovery from cruciate ligament injury. The young striker has been on the sidelines since picking up his horrible injury in October last year.
However, the player did feature for Manchester United U-23 against Tottenham last week. And even with Wilson back in full training and participating in reserves games, Manchester United are very cautious with their young prospect.
England Star Wanted United Move, Confirms Teammate
As a result, Jose Mourinho has decided to monitor the player's progress till January before deciding to loan him out again in the winter transfer window.
Action Images / Paul Burrows
The 21-year-old striker was sent out on a loan spell to Derby County last year, but his injury meant that it was an unproductive spell for the youngster. Wilson had similar fate while on loan to Brighton in 2015-16, when his growth was impeded by illness.
In order to avoid such a scenario again, Manchester United have decided to keep the player at the club and monitor his fitness closely. The Red Devils rate Wilson highly, as they feel he can develop into a fine striker, given an injury-free season under his belt.
