A couple of things I learned recently:
1: If you carry out a SELECT column1, column2…. INTO dbo.NewTable the newly created table won't have any of the indexes, foreign keys or primary keys etc. of the source/original table BUT!!! The table will retain any
IDENTITY specifications for any columns. So the source/original table I was looking at had an INTEGER IDENTITY column as the surrogate primary key. This was brought over to NewTable.
2: BCP will ignore the load for any columns where IDENTITY is specified. So when I was attempting to BCP data into NewTable all the columns came across as per source apart from the IDENTITY column. Which
had a seed of 1 and an increment of 1. Once I removed the IDENTITY specification the BCP worked out OK.

11. Ok, you may not actually recover from the part where you may have looked the American public in the eye and lied about the details of your anti-government heroics. This interpretation is now part of the public discussion. If it's wrong, you must clean it up quickly.
12. We tend to forgive public figures who manipulate the truth to cover up weakness (see Clinton v. Impeachment) and lose our minds at the first hint of exaggerated strength (see Mainstream Media v. Al Gore for President).

The collection largely consists of typescripts of the later novels written from 1966-1974, especially those featuring Mary Tudor. There are also notes for many of the earlier novels dating back to 1942. The few personal papers include letters of condolence on the death of her husband, Professor Michael Lewis.
Some additional material relating both to this collection and to Professor Lewis's papers (see GB 159 Lw M) has been accessioned and awaits cataloguing.

One Ring to Rule Them All...

U2 & How to Snag a Better Seat
- Rolling Stones – Even though Charlie Watts is the only one left that can hold it together
- U2 - I am Irish after all
- Madonna - To feel bad about my body
- Lady Gaga – Still pissed she rescheduled her NYC show for a weekend I was out of town
- R.E.M. – Not even a big fan but have heard of the magnetism Michael Stipe can yield
- Justin Timberlake - We all have our guilty pleasures
It was because of this list that I was pretty excited when the opportunity to see U2 with a group of friends came up. So I can now cross U2 off my list and you know what? It was an experience I now recommend to anyone, particularly if you like U2 and/or if you attend enough sports events or concerts where you can take the sheer volume of people you will see the concert with. There are downsides – it is an elitist environment with the VIP packages, the limos lined up, the stadium prices, the box seats, $9 dollar beer night hence the long line, etc. Also, as a person that is a tenured concert goer this was clearly a crowd that was not well versed on the rules of concerts. You get a very different crowd attending then a 300 person venue where the concert starts at 10pm on a Wednesday, etc.
That said, the upsides were immense - they rocked out for 2 hours and 15 minutes, they have such a catalogue to choose from and did a great job of combining the new with the old, the unknown songs with the overplayed (even though it was still fun to sing them word for word). Plus their sound, voices, and stage presence is varsity all the way. They passed the crucial 10,000 hour practice point about 20 years ago so you can imagine how comfortable they are on stage.**
My favorite part of the night was when I pulled a grand caper with my friend Captain Fabulous (actual nickname). We snuck out of our section 404 seats on a mission to get as close as we could to the stage and stay there. We brilliantly made it to section 138, had plenty of room and watched the entire concert from our elitist seats. Here is how we did it and here is how you can too, I have proven this many times over the years:
- When you go to a stadium/arena show there are so many seats that go to season ticket holders, corporations, etc. and so many of them go unused even if the concert is sold out.
- Wait until after the opening act and then go down to the area you are shooting for and wait until just before the headlining act comes on. It is good to get a beer, food and go to the bathroom, it may be your last opportunity.
- Wait until 30 seconds into the first song that the headliner plays, you want to get caught up in the rush of people getting to their seats. Weekend concerts can throw a wrench in the plan because some people hang out in the parking lot until the headliner starts and then rush in after 2-3 songs.
- Power walk and get behind a group of more than two so they will crowd the ticket checker and this is key - quickly, looking straight ahead/stage, power walk to the side and down away from the group and ticket checker. Keep walking but start slowing down after you are in the clear and look for openings of more than 2 that you can get into.
- Only do this with two people, it gets tricky with more. Getting to the floor level is more difficult because they often make you get bracelets and the checkers are more strict. We tried to get to the floor for U2, played dumb about bracelets, acted like we were headed back to get them and spotted an opening of +6 seats two rows above general admission. We were above the floor crowd and had direct eyesight to the front of the stage. No one came to claim the seats and we were super nice to the people around us, acting like we belonged there. It was perfection and we giggled about it all night.
This isn't rocket scientist and don't try to do it every time but have the guts to give it a try when it is a band you really want to get close and experience, be part of the vibe.
**The 10,000 hours of practice is referencing a well-known theory that in addition to ability you must have dedication and a solid work ethic; citing that every top professional, regardless of their field, will not reach their peak before practicing for 10,000 hours. Malcolm Gladwell references this theory in his newest book Outliers. He uses The Beatles and how they obtained their crucial practice hours, check it out!

ASHLAND - Police announced they are putting extra patrols out after hearing complaints about vehicles failing to stop for school buses with their flashing lights activated.
On their Facebook page, Ashland police officials said they will "strictly enforce this law."
Police cited Massachusetts General Law Ch. 90 S. 14, which reads that failing to stop or illegally passing a stopped school bus with flashing lights can result in $250 fine in Massachusetts, at minimum.
A second offense can result in a fine of not less than $500. Subsequent offenses can bring fines up to $2,000 and a suspended license of up to a year.
Police warned that those who violate the law can "plan to receive a citation!"

An expat experiences the adrenaline of joining the Swiss workforce, after full-time motherhood and a return to university. As ever, rules must be obeyed!
There were about fifteen lawyers and other legal staff in the legal department of the bank. It was my first day at work. That morning I had woken up very early and had taken great care with my make-up and hair. I was very nervous and excited. I put on one of my favourite dress suits and boarded the train for Lausanne. I was happy to be going back to work.
The bank was in the centre of Lausanne. From the station you have quite an uphill walk to reach the enormous building. From door to door it had taken me an hour and ten minutes but that didn't bother me at all. It was a glorious, sunny day and Lausanne is a beautiful city. The people getting off the train and heading for the offices were smartly dressed in suits and ties. I had missed this world of working people running in all directions clutching plastic cups brimful of coffee.
I felt a surge of adrenaline as I got near the bank's offices. At last I was feeling active and productive; I was no longer a desperate housewife or a late-graduating student. For a moment I remembered that I was thirty-five and still only a trainee, but the sight of people having breakfast outside the city bars distracted me. I would soon get to know this city and be having lunch in beautiful restaurants in the centre with my new colleagues. A new era was beginning for me.
I arrived at the staff entrance. I rang the bell and the door opened. I went in and, with a smile, gave the doorman my name. He motioned to me to wait and called through to the secretary in the bank's legal department. A few minutes later a cheerful, smiling woman called Maria arrived and introduced herself as the secretary of the manager, Mr Hunziker. Maria asked me to follow her. The bank was enormous, full of people scurrying along its wide corridors. We went through a series of doors, each of which opened automatically after Maria inserted a magnetic card. We took a lift to the fifth floor. She took me into the secretary's office and pointed to my office: a desk hidden behind a bookcase.
Maria informed me, 'This is the trainee's office. I'm here for you if you need any information. Mr Hunziker will see you as soon as he can.'
'Thank you, Maria, you're very kind. As we're in the same office, I'm sure I will take you up on your offer.'
Shortly afterwards, Mr Jaker approached me. A very kind and good-humoured man, he was in charge of organising my training at the bank. He showed me the legal department's cafeteria, where all the legal staff were enjoying their coffee. One by one, they introduced themselves. They struck me as easy-going, funny and very sociable. There was a very relaxed, informal atmosphere. I sat down and had a cup of tea with them. I felt at ease and had the impression my colleagues all got on very well with each other.
A few minutes later Mr Hunziker, the manager of the legal department, came in. Everyone greeted him and he smiled at me. 'Welcome. As soon as you have finished your tea, please come and see me in my office.'
Flustered, I stood and said, 'I have finished. If I'm not disturbing, I will come now.'
I followed him into his office and he explained to me what my job would involve. We then spoke about my family and the reasons why I was in Switzerland. I felt I was getting on well with my new boss and that I would enjoy working for him. I returned to my office and Maria gave me a magnetic card to get into the bank. I would have to clock in and clock out, and I would work eight hours and twenty-four minutes every day. Maria told me:
'Never forget your magnetic card; otherwise there is no way of calculating how many hours you have worked, and the bank's security people won't let you in.'
I smiled and replied, 'Don't worry, there's no way I'll forget it. Look, I'll put it in my wallet now.'
The next day I left my wallet, with the magnetic card in it, at home. When I arrived at the bank and realised I had forgotten it, I decided to try my charm on the security man. Maria was doubtless exaggerating; he was bound to let me in!
I smiled at him and said, 'Good morning! You know, this morning I was really busy what with one thing and another… I live in Geneva, you see, and it takes me an hour and ten minutes to get to work. I had to drop the children off at school – they're still really small – and it was one of those terrible mornings…I don't know if you have children yourself and can understand what I'm saying, but…well, the thing is, I don't know how it happened but I've forgotten my magnetic card, the one for getting into the bank. Could you let me in anyway?'
Without even looking at me, he brusquely replied, 'No.'
I was aware that flexibility was not a strong point in this country but I wasn't going to give up so easily. 'I really must get into the bank. Can we find a solution?'
'Let's see if your boss will give me authorisation. How long have you been working in the bank?'
'Only since yesterday. This is my second day at work.'
'Can you show me some proof of identity?'
Instinctively, I began rooting in my bag but then remembered that I didn't have my wallet or any of my documents with me, 'Unfortunately my documents are in the wallet which I have left at home. I'm sorry.'
'How can I be sure that you're telling me the truth? If you give me your name and surname I have no way of checking that you are that person. Give me your boss's name, please.'
'Certainly. Mr Hunziker, director of the legal department. He's my boss.'
The man tried to call the director but got no answer. He must have tried at least ten times. Then I recalled, 'Sorry, I just remembered that Mr Hunziker is on holiday for a week starting from today.'
'Then give me the name of one your colleagues.'
'Maria or Sandrine. But… their surnames… yes, the secretary is called Maria. I'm sorry, but I don't know her surname and I don't know the surnames of my other colleagues. As I told you, I only started working here yesterday.'
'Madame, do you realise that there are two thousand people working in this bank? How do you expect me to find Maria? Do you have any idea how many Marias must work in this bank?'
After a long search and various telephone calls, he told me that Maria was coming to get me. She arrived laughing and assured the security guard that I was indeed the trainee. Then she consoled me:
'Don't worry. The same thing happened to me after I had been working here for twenty two years. They didn't want to let me in. It's normal practice. They're just very strict in their checks.'
I liked Maria. She was always smiling and it was good sharing an office with her. Then I found out that she was from Malaga, Spain, and I liked her even more. I have lots of friends in Malaga and the first time I went there I felt like I was in Bari. They have the same easy-going attitude as the southern Italians and a real love for life. I felt at home straight away.
With Maria I often ended up talking about Spain and her family. She was born in Lausanne to Spanish parents. Her parents then went back to Malaga to enjoy their Swiss pensions. She married a Spanish guy, had two children, but had never lived in Malaga. She often went back to see her family in Spain, but her life was in Lausanne.
Every morning, with some considerable difficulty, I woke up at 06.30. At 07.20 I caught the train and at 08.30 I was in the office. It was a struggle for me to get up that early. I felt like I was arriving very early at the office, but a lot of my colleagues had already been there a good while by the time I got there. Maria got up every morning at 05.30, had breakfast with her children about 06.00 and arrived at the office at 07.00. It seemed to me like a hellish way of living, having to cope with such anti-social times. But she wasn't the only one. There were lots of people getting up very early in the morning. The pace of their life was very different from what I had been used to in Bari!

Evangelicals could learn a few lessons from Paul
I'm beginning to wonder how long we'll ever go in this country without an evangelical leader making some controversial remark or getting in trouble for something controversial they said in the past.
A few months ago, it was Pat Robertson (far right) and his explanation of what caused the earthquake in Haiti, and more recently, Billy Graham's son, Franklin (near right), was in the news for having his invitation to speak at the Pentagon prayer service rescinded because of some comments he made about Islam. While I understand the thinking and the zeal that justify their rhetoric, I must say that there are far better ways to address the world, and you would find them nowhere else than in the scriptures.

the new measures stop people from using computers to edit recordings, and are being introduced on both cable and satellite digital feeds. nhk has received more than 15,000 complaints since the controls were implemented, but has responded by saying they are there to protect the copyright of the content.
japan is set to stop broadcasting tv through analogue channels by 2011, meaning all broadcasts will be digital and under the same controls.
read more at the japan times.
matthew's opinion
i think this is something we are all going to face eventually as digital becomes the main transmission method. the u.k. is also trying to phase out analogue transmission before 2010, and it is inevitable that the same type of controls will be either debated or forced on us under pressure from the tv and movie industries.
allowing people to make a single copy is more than i expected, but follows from our current rights. i can see how people could have a problem with this, though; for example, what if someone wants to combine all the episodes of a recorded series onto a disc? but for a perfect quality recording i can put up with having a series in somewhat of a messy order over multiple discs.
we will have to wait and see if the complaints of the japanese public have any influence on nhk and the private broadcasters. i doubt that it will, and i expect others to follow suit as it seems like a pretty fool-proof way of stopping the spread of content. that is, of course, until someone finds a way of filtering out that special transmission bit from the recording.

|making pretty discs (9:09am est thu may 27 2004)
that's exactly what i'm trying to do, put all my episodes together in *some* kind of order. what software do you all use to edit your recorded tv? i tried using nero 6 but i keep getting errors. – by need help
|current rights? (9:14am est thu may 27 2004)
oh, you mean i *can* make a backup disk of the copy-protected cds i have? if that's the case, then why are they copy-protected in the 1st place? this *was* a right consumers *had*, but it has been lost due to inaction by government and consumers. i usually check to see if "there's a way" to copy a cd before i buy it now. if not, i won't buy it. that's the only current right i have according to the entertainment and software industry.
best solution for dissatisfied japanese? how about going to the park or a museum! if japanese tv is anything like it is in the us, there's nothing worthwhile watching anyway, no matter how good the picture and sound are. – by jrink
|japn's tv (9:29am est thu may 27 2004)
they have really good programs over there. just compare the cartoons here and the anime series over there. naruto? here in the us? hah! actually a lot of oversea programs have much better content than the us as they have less restrictions (some japanese commercials have partial nudity, just fyi). =t – by those pervs
|no problem (11:47am est thu may 27 2004)
someone will just come along and crack it…. – by submit
|age of the geek (12:38pm est thu may 27 2004)
you know you're in the 21st century when you have to consider hacking your own tv to record a show. – by strix
|i hope (1:48pm est thu may 27 2004)
i hope that this won't kill the fansubbing scene for anime. fansubing depends on digital editing. let's just hope someone comes up with a crack soon before it's too late. – by jz
|also (1:49pm est thu may 27 2004)
we need to develop new copyright legislation for the 21st centry, something not so restrictive. – by jz
|what? thats against the law? (2:11pm est thu may 27 2004)
i am so desensitized to copy protection issues that sometimes i forget it is illegal to copy stuff.
it is technically illegal to record radio programs and tv, but they don't enforce it. same thing with downloading music. so it is easy to do it without thinking about it.
i think piracy would be more common in the technomecca of japan, so i can see why the nhk people are edgy.
|wrong way to do it (3:36pm est thu may 27 2004)
screw copy control, can always be beat, force the bastards to watch the advertisements, people are cheap and will suffer thru commercials for free content (hence how content is paid for)
of course the next 10 posts will be about getting it all for free, well i have seen free or semi free shows, and they suck ass, even the pron.

|analogue (5:17pm est thu may 27 2004)
d/a => a/d so what is happening on this front. so i can make 1 digital recording. and how many analogue recordings can i make (s-video etc)? and then digitize this damn good copy and put it on my computer then. – by truth4u
|digital vs analog (6:10pm est thu may 27 2004)
i recall that the issue is over quality, even here in the us, there is a no no to making digital copies (if music for example), the quality is so good that there often isnt a need to purchase. now on the other hand with analog, people turn the other cheek and could care less if you copy that, that quality is so low, that people often purchase because they want a better copy. (often on the radio, they will play an entire cd of so and so's newest hit, and tell people to get ready to record it onto their tapes) – by meh
|re: wally (2:02pm est fri may 28 2004)
technically it is only illegal to mass produce or sell copies. making them for personal use has always been legal. the problem here is that all of this crap is designed to limit or remove that legality, in order to protect some imaginary profit margin that companies 'think' they have lost because of a relatively small number of idiots producing what imho are often bad digital copies or digital and analog content and mass producing it over the internet. the basic problem being that most of these people are just like me. if someone spent the amount of money needed to purchase all the material that some of these people downloaded, they could have used the money involved to buy one of the damn production studios they use to produce it in the first place… heck.., even i have probably spent enough on books and movies and music in my life time to buy a small company. but i haven't bought a cd in over a year. however, i also don't use p2p to download big name music either. most of it isn't worth more than a browse and i have been so far out of the loop that i wouldn't know what to look for anyway. lol
they simply fail to realize what a lot of companies also fail at, that pricing things to "what the market can bare" is a meaningles concept, if you price it so high that most people can't afford to buy what they want. there is usually a sweat spot, where the price may not get you maybe even 80% of the profit you would like, but the long term profit will be consistant, since everyone will be willing to buy it. media companies blaze right past that sweat spot and charge as much as possible, without completely losing their customers. so, as soon as there is an economic slump, they suddenly find themselves looking at multi-million dollar losses. it is easier to blame theft of the product and pass laws making it illegal to even use the product after you buy it, than admit that the real problem is that no one want to buy it in the first place. or at least not at the insane price they charge for it. – by kagehi

as i write this, the "ads by google" section has an ad pointing to a geek.com competitor, … the link's label? "geek news."

It may only be February, but prom season feels like it's just around the corner. This means that we've got to check out the latest fashion week looks and the Grammy's red carpet to get inspo for our dresses and start thinking about our dream date.
Of course, we need to actually be asked by our dream date to go to prom with them. Just imagine Harry Styles serenading you and holding a sign that says "Prom?" on it. It'd be like 'Love Actually' but one thousand three hundred and seventy two times better.
Ugh, literally life GOALS.
Pick a Disney inspired prom dress and we'll ship you with a boybander to go with
QUIZ: Which boyband member will you marry based on your taste in wedding dresses?
While we can't promise you Hazza (sorry, we would if we could), we can tell you exactly how you'll be promposed to this year. All you need to do is make a super over the top milkshake, and we'll tell you EXACTLY how your dream date will ask you to prom. Don't ask how we do it, it's just magic, okay?
Oh, and be sure to share your results with us over in the comments down below – or it won't come true (jus' kidding).

More information about the MasterCraft X-35
The X-35 rental boat touts the infamous MasterCraft pickle fork design, originally created to supply more bow room and to give your water dwellers another entry point with its convenient bow ladder. The X-35 was designed to put I/Os to shame, especially since it has been loaded up with amenities, one of which is the innovative designed MasterCraft Passenger Seat that allows the co-captain to adjust their seat to look forward or aft. The X-35 has a new rendition of its modified deep vee hull and that translates into a silky smooth ride without sacrificing the wake performance for wakeboarding, tubing, water skiing, and wake surfing.
The X-35 water boat rental comes standard with edgy graphics, tower, swiveling board racks with clamps, ballast system and the acclaimed the BIG (Boat Instrument Gauge) Screen, a beautiful, crystal clear 6" display that is more computer than gauge, allowing you to see not only typical fuel, temp, speed and cruise settings but providing a cutting edge interface to save user data (i.e. ballast and surf tabs settings) and for watching footage shot by you.

You've probably heard of BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport®, but perhaps you have not met the new kid on the wrinkle-prevention block XEOMIN® is a purer form of botulinum neuromodulator, and thus there are reduced chances for allergic reaction and rejection by the immune system. In fact, it can be a good alternative to both Botox and Dysport as Xeomin contains no accessory proteins, which means that patients are less likely to develop antibodies to the product.
What is Xeomin?
Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) for injection, for intramuscular use, is a prescription medication used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults. Xeomin contains botulinum toxin type A, a protein purified from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.

Thakoon Sample Sale
Earlier today, he hit the Thakoon sample sale and seemed as excited as a 12-year-old girl buying her first Coach bag. "ALL Manolo Blahniks x Thakoon $50!!!! Sizes 38-41!!!! Dying!!!! Just bought 7 pairs!!!!", he wrote.
Jim even captured pictures, which include the mirrored heels Thakoon did for the runway with Giuseppe Zanotti and Manolo suede and snakeskin ankle stilettos. Yes, there's clothing too! Samples, which are generously cut, are priced up to $100.
All in all, Jim ended up spending $550 for three dresses and seven pairs of shoes. We just hope his girlfriends appreciate him because few men are willing to put out like that.

OK that's just annoying. It's hard enough keeping up with girls who actually KNOW they WANT the shoes they buy. Now we have to compete with some male who's just "hoping" some girl friend of his is going to like it. Some girl who didn't care enough to go to the sale on her own?
Not impressed by this guy. Just annoyed.

Went to the sale as soon as I received the email. I am sad to say that I was not impressed at all! They did have lovely flat weaved sandals by Zanotti for Thakoon - but alas, they were all size 37!!! The rest of the shoes seemed unwearable - really high, old-fashioned/too weird, and finally pretty worn out (likely on the runway). The clothing was ok - priced definitely way more than $100! Long maxi dresses were in the $300-400's. So, don't be too sad you missed it - I didn't get a thing. :)

Also hit the sale around 2:30 and left disappointed and empty handed. The few pairs of $50 shoes were in terrible condition. The better ones were priced at $300. Didn't see any clothing under $150, either. Perhaps Jim cleaned out all the good deals.
- May 7, 2010 at 3:27 PM
There weren't very many shoes left by the time I got there either. But at least Jim was able to buy 7 pairs of women's shoes to stare at in his closet.
I did pay $175 for a Resort 2010 dress! So I was happy. See below.

I dunno what you guys are talking about! I went over at 6pm, and saw the Armor dress (2010 collection), which is currently retails for $1450, for a cool $390. Sure its not a $100 bargain, but its a helluva discount. Thanks Lila you made my weekend!!

Are You Taking Care of Yourself as a Family Caregiver?
Caregivers in St. Pete Beach FL: Family caregivers can tend to be great at taking care of their elderly loved ones, but not as good about caring for themselves. If that's the case for you, you need to make some changes.

The government on Thursday gave its nod for accepting international regulations for the prevention of air pollution emanating from ships, as proposed under a 1997 protocol of the International Maritime Organisation.
"The Cabinet on Thursday gave its approval for accession to the 1997 Protocol adding Annex VI (Regulations for the Prevention of Air Pollution) to the Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships 1973/78 (MARPOL 73/78) of the International Maritime Organisation," an official statement said.
The regulations, also known as MARPOL Annex VI 'Regulations for the Prevention of Air Pollution from ships', deals with air pollution emanating from ships, the statement further said.
According to the regulations, limits have been set on sulphur oxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from ship exhausts and deliberate emissions of ozone depleting substances have been prohibited.
Moreover, annex-VI includes a global cap of 4.5 per cent m/m on the sulphur content of fuel oil and calls on the IMO to monitor the worldwide average sulphur content of fuel, the statement further said.
The convention, was revised in July, 2005, and it entered into force on July 1, 2010.
"India proposes to ratify the convention now," the statement said, adding that it is a party to MARPOL 73/78 and has ratified Annexes I to V.
So far, the convention has been ratified by 53 countries, representing approximately 81.88 per cent of the gross tonnage of the world's merchant shipping fleet, the statement said.

Listed under Traditional Cultures in Niger.
In the desert animals and men loose salt as well as moisture, yet so valuable a commodity for survival wasn't readily available to the Tuareg people of Niger. Instead, since the late first millennium, they have been saddling their camel caravans and crossing the Tenere Desert to the Bilma Oasis to barter millet, maize, beans and cheese for salt pillars and dates.
The journey from Agadez, where the caravans gather in preparation for the bi-annual October departures, to Bilma and back takes about three weeks. Only enough feed to keep camel and man going is carried, so good time has to be made. Once they set out in caravans 20,000 camels strong, stretching 25kms behind the leaders, but now the tradition has dwindled down to smaller groups, but the route and pace haven't changed. The oceanic dunes of the Tenere lead the way, by staying in the same ridge the lay of the sand keeps the caravans on the right path, which is why the trade was so successful. Once on the dunes the pace is constant and the caravans move from dawn to dusk, covering about 50kms a day. At night the camels are unloaded and their loads made into a sand break. A hot supper and tea are quickly and greedily put together, then there is nothing but the ancient stories and the even more ancient stars for entertainment and company.
Is this a romantic, historic tradition being killed off by modern inventions? Not really, the very best, purest salt, which is made by a natural process of evaporating brine in deep pits, is still kept aside for the Tuareg and at Bilma bartering for goods is still more popular than paying for them.
Few extra people are welcomed on these ancient and traditional journeys, but with the right guide and careful planning you can be part of this fading, but still very real adventure.
Written by Kat Mackintosh.
Salt is necessary for Sahelian domestic animals as well as it are in short supply also it is a restricted deposit collective with weighty consumption ensuring money-making markets.
Each winter Tuareg caravans cross Niger's Tenere desert to fetch salt from the Bilma oasis and barter millet for dates. Salt is indispensable for Sahelian livestock and scarce local deposits combined with heavy consumption ensure profitable markets.
Are there any pathways though the desert or do they have maps, or does the sandy landscape change too much to go by anything other than the sun and stars?

Our ad server ad selection process essentially goes through four logical steps or phases. Each phase is trying to basically short list a campaigns and henceforth finally select a single campaign and a creative which would be a best candidate for that particular ad request. Polymorph treats all kinds of demand sources basically as campaigns, including direct campaigns, DSPs, ad networks, etc., and various rules such as geo, device or placement targeting can be set at these campaigns. The basic goal of the ad server is to respect all the criteria set by the campaign and at the same time try to maximize the revenue for the publishers.

Let's look at these 4 phases,

1. **Creative Asset Matching:** One of the important goals of our native ad server is to choose an ad which complies strictly with the asset requirements set by publishers. Polymorph provides full ability to publishers to specify which creative assets are part of a placement through html templates. For example *title*, *summary*, *brand name*, *ad image*, *brand image*, etc. and if the *title* is marked as required Polymorph will pick only campaigns which has creatives with *title* and so on.

2. **Filtering/Targeting:** Once the campaigns are short-listed from phase 1, ad server looks at the filtering/targeting criteria set by the campaign owner and follows that strictly. Campaign can set following targeting options,
 1. Geo targeting: Target campaign to any set of countries and its states, DMA or cities.
 2. Device targeting: Target any set of devices or user agents.
 3. Category targeting: Target any placements from set of IAB categories.
 4. Publisher/Site/Placement targeting: Target any publishers or sites or placements.
 5. Key-Value or Keywords targeting: Target any keywords or key-value combination seen on ad request.
 6. Audience targeting: Target any audience segments.
 7. Start and end date: If the current timestamp for ad request doesn't fall into the campaign's start and end date, the campaign is filtered out

 In this phase, the ad server will keep only the campaigns for which the current ad request satisfies the criteria and it will filter out the rest.

3. **Campaign pacing:** After phase 1 and 2 ad server is left with only campaigns which are eligible for current the ad request, however in this phase campaign's setting of 'Delivery Speed' comes into action. If the campaign has delivery setup as 'As fast as possible', in that case campaign will still be deemed as eligible after this phase. If the setup is 'Spread evenly' then the ad server aims to spread out the traffic exposed to this campaign throughout the day as well as throughout until it's end date, rather than running out of campaign's goal immediately. The way ad server does this is through following steps
 1. It takes the campaign's remaining goal and divides it by the number of days between the current date and the end date of the campaign, basically sets itself a goal for the current day. This calculation is done at end of each UTC day.
 2. Then the ad server will create a goal plan for the current hour by dividing the daily goal by hours remaining in the day. This is done at the end of each hour. Ad server will also try to front-load a percentage of the goal early in the day to ensure the complete delivery of the campaign.
 3. If a campaign has reached it's hourly goal then it's held off from delivery and marked ineligible until the end of the hour and next hour's goal is kicked in.

 One important thing to note is campaign pacing is susceptible to available inventory or number of ad requests for any particular hour or day. If the number of ad requests simply low compared to campaigns hourly or daily goal then ad server will not be able to deliver to it's goal but it's designed in a way that it pushes unfilled goals to the next hour or day.

4. **Yield Optimization: ** In this phase ad server is left with only the eligible campaigns. If there is only one eligible campaign left then ad server will choose that campaign to run. If there are multiple eligible campaigns left, then the aim of the ad server is to choose the campaign which will yield most revenue for the publisher over the period of time.
 There are multiple scenarios to consider in this phase,

 1. If there are only CPM based campaigns in the mix, then the ad server simply chooses the campaign which has the highest CPM.

 2. If there are some CPC based campaigns in the mix, then the ad server will try to collect some sample data on these CPC based campaigns by selecting these campaigns over others for certain number of impressions to come up with a predicted eCPM value based on the performance (CTR in this case) of the campaign for those sample impressions. Once these CPC based campaigns have enough impressions data then the ad server will use this eCPM value to compare with rest of the campaigns to choose the campaigns with highest eCPM/CPM campaign.

 3. Similar to CPC based campaigns publisher might also have some ad network based campaigns, for this case ad server either uses eCPM value specified by the publisher or if it's in auto optimization mode then ad server will try to fetch past data for the ad networks from their respective reporting API on maximum possible frequency to calculate predictive eCPM value based on the recent past data. If the ad network has zero impressions in the past then ad sever will select this ad network/campaign for certain number of impressions so that it can collect enough number of impressions to calculate a predictive eCPM value before it can start comparing this value with the rest of the campaigns.

Polymorph constantly revises it's algorithms to come with the most accurate possible measure of predictive eCPM and number of sample impressions it has to dedicate to come with this number.

Essentially, with all these 4 phases the ad server will select one single ad to deliver by respective all the criteria selected by the campaign owner and at the same time trying to maximize the revenue for the publishers.

Yes, gather wood to make charcoal, combine it using a machine to make gunpowder, use gunpowder and metal (also gathered as ore and then refined in another process) to make bullets on a workbench... it goes on and on. Ark has a great system... very "grindy" game. You basically progress from wood to stone, then metal and eventually "tech" tiers complete with electronics.
So you've reinvented Rust, or maybe Ark? lol
I understand what you are describing, but imo this is one of those "spirit vs. letter of the law" sort of things. You are suggesting that if you have 3 picks, then each should be treated separately with their respective cooldowns allowed on a per-item basis. My opinion is that this defeats the spirit of the pick/hack item progression which I think was intended to allow for an upgrade path to entice players to grind for better tools... (driving the economy aspect of the game) which is why the ref…
New Job Idea definitely different the Squatter Job and selling house ideas
Lol to squatter idea. I would suggest a costly item to remove squatter key: "Squat-b-gone" spray, lol
Yeah, this is an easy decision IMO, 'Kill's been here a good while, is even tempered, is a conscientious and mature player and has shown to be very active. Even when other players (or even naughty admins) have misbehaved, he takes the high road, and route's any grievances via proper channels, and due process. +1 for me. --Thunder
I heard you say "it's worth a day ban"... I thought you were kidding (some of the others sounded hesitant) until I came back into server a few mins later and saw the server lag from prop/map collisions caused in train tunnel. And please do not encourage others to help you do this. I know there were others, but I stepped away and missed the details, so they get a pass. You get a day ban as you requested... enjoy. --Thunder
How about rendering vmenuselect inoperative, and replace it with something that cannot be predicted or executed client-side by players. I think it was Mav or TF outlined that there was a way the other night when this came up as a topic of discussion in the server. Have to ask them about the specifics...
True, but can they make you drop money while you're incarcerated? If so, that'd suck
Sort of torn on this one... lots of past issues and sneaky shit pops into mind. Though not a perfect predictor of future actions, and acknowledging that people do change over time, I have to look at it like a PID algorithm. The output is dependent on a computation which accounts for long-range historical data, recent historical (near-term) data, and instantaneous deviation (what is happening at this instant vs. expected). Long-term history usually plays a significant role in the decision. So wha…
Wait and see for a bit. Can be helpful and cool at times, and an annoying ass 90% of the rest of the time. That mouth... I thought I swore a lot, lol. After hearing "cunt" repeated for the 45th time in as many seconds, it just grates on my nerves. It's like ghost peppers, a little dab will do ya. A bunch makes for "a spicy meatball..." but a meal consisting of just that is generally unpalatable, and just burns everyone's ass
Well, I admit that I'm not perfect either, but the names seem to fit at the time. I will refrain from injecting my opinion into any renaming in the future, however fitting it may seem to me... my bad. Try to understand that you are walking a tightrope though. At some point, if you want to go hyper-technical on an admin, understand it is just as likely that an admin will make the determination that you are not worth the time, and just ban you at the next opportunity where it is "technically" allo…
Just want to point out that if there was a rule for everything possible, then the rules list would be infinitely long, and unmanageable. The rules cover the basic stuff, so that we all have general guidelines for playing (players), as well as enforcement and server management (admins). That said... in my experience "admin" is not just supposed to be given to anyone, but rather to those who can be trusted to make both the right decision on straight-forward things, as well as the judgement calls f…

He has put up with a fair amount to abuse since first application, and has not lost his spirit From what I can tell he seems to be good guy, and nothing negative from my interactions with Corn to date... I'm ok with giving him a try if other admins weigh in with positive responses as well. +1 from me
Maybe this is not news... but it was to me: I was able to confirm tonight that the GPS bug is persistent, even after DC. Ran a test myself where I placed one on Vulcan, and asked him to DC, then come back. The bug came back. Now, before someone says "so?"... consider that the gps scanner item is still not functional, which means that one you have been "bugged", there is no way to shake it as it was originally designed.

Before reading the Bible, whenever I heard "The Lord" or any other reference to God, my mind immediately thought of Loving God. That's what I was taught. That God is a Loving God. Afterall… it says in the Bible… That God so loved the World, that He gave His only begotten Son… etc. Most of us had heard of John 3:16. And that's the Gospel I heard all my life.
No one ever told me that John 3:16 needed to be taken in context.
No one ever told me the sentence right before John 3:16 referenced a story in the Old Testament where God sent poisonous snakes among His people Israel… because they complained about the manna.
I complain about food all the time.
Then in the new testament (for all you people who think the God of the Old Testament is different from the God of the New Testament), He says… nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents; 10 nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer. 11 Now all[a] these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.
Well that… sucks. LOL. I am a complainer, and God does not like complainers.
So now I had a real problem. This all loving God idea I had in my head was hard to reconcile with a God that sent poisonous snakes for complaining.
In the story of the Poisonous snakes… (Numbers 21)… When the Children of Israel REPENTED, God gave them a cure. He did not take the poisonous snakes away, but He did provide a cure. Moses was to set up a Bronze Pole and when anyone who was bitten by a snake went to that Pole and looked at it they would be cured.
And here's the context of John 3:16… Just as Moses put up the Bronze pole and anyone who looked at it was cured from the deathly snake bite… in the same way… Jesus was raised up on a pole and whoever looks to HIM can be saved. (Many take that as a once saved always saved deal, but there are references everywhere that basically says you have to CONTINUE being saved, because let's face it… we are still human, we still sin, and we still need to repent. Even Apostle Paul said he worried that after all the preaching that he himself could become disqualified. So we have to continue looking to Jesus… but that's another topic for another day).
I know a lot of unbelievers would argue why would anyone want to believe in a God who does that – sends a death sentence just for complaining. I'll go you one better, I think a lot of Christians do not want to believe in a God who does that, which is why they only talk about the John 3:16 God and never mention John 3:15.
So why believe in a God who sends poisonous snakes for complaining?
Because that's who He said He is.
It boils down to… do I believe what He says in His Bible?
I do. Because He tells us just four verses before the John 3:16 passage… that "if we cannot believe the earthly things, how can we believe the heavenly things". The Bible tells us of the earthly things… like Creation, Scientific facts, Historical facts, Prophetic events before they happen…. proving the Bible true. And if those facts are true, then we can believe what the Bible tells us of the "heavenly things".
So I can believe the earthly things. Which means I can believe that the Bible tells me who God is and what God has done. And above all… the Bible talks about the Lord's HOLINESS. His RIGHTEOUSNESS. (Yes the Bible talks about God's love too, but less that 1 verse in 1000 actually talk about the love of God. And here's the shocking part… those verses are actually have conditions… He loves those who FEAR Him, He loves those who obey His commandments, etc).
Anyway, I learned God was not who I thought He was. So the idea behind this page is to maybe help others see who the Lord says He is.
The Lord
The Word
The Body
The Enemy

A brilliant existential piece by Italian freelance journalist Francesca Borri, describing the disconnect between the frontlines and the other ugencies of our comfortable realities.
|Francesca Borri: The twisted reality of an Italian freelancer in Syria
Woman's work
He finally wrote to me. After more than a year of freelancing for him, during which I contracted typhoid fever and was shot in the knee, my editor watched the news, thought I was among the Italian journalists who'd been kidnapped, and sent me an email that said: "Should you get a connection, could you tweet your detention?"
That same day, I returned in the evening to a rebel base where I was staying in the middle of the hell that is Aleppo, and amid the dust and the hunger and the fear, I hoped to find a friend, a kind word, a hug. Instead, I found only another email from Clara, who's spending her holidays at my home in Italy. She's already sent me eight "Urgent!" messages. Today she's looking for my spa badge, so she can enter for free. The rest of the messages in my inbox were like this one: "Brilliant piece today; brilliant like your book on Iraq." Unfortunately, my book wasn't on Iraq, but on Kosovo.

Lusting over luxury items I want to buy has become one of my favourite past times. I don't know about you, but spending a couple of hundred pounds on things like belts seems so unjustifiable, even if they are the most gorgeous things you've ever laid eyes on. Whilst completely in my element of procrastination, I've somehow managed to build up quite the list of items I wish I could throw my money at.. but I quite frankly don't have the balls to bankrupt myself.
Louis Vuitton – Capucines Wallet | £885.00
Unfortunately, I didn't add an extra '8' to the price of this gorgeous purse, as much as you're probably hoping I'd made a typo. Just look at how beautifully made this purse is, isn't it just so god damn dreamy? Everytime I look at this I have serious heart eye emoji feels.
"Crafted in supple Taurillon leather with a leather-covered LV signature, this elegant wallet is inspired by the emblematic Capucines line. Sensorial yet functional, it is still large enough to fit all your daily essentials." and also large enough in cost to make me run a mile. Eurgh LV, stop it!
Zoeva – Rose Golden Complete Set Vol 1 | £110.00
Lusting over pretty brush sets is my new found forte, and this set definitely takes 1st place. I talk myself out of purchasing these everytime they end up in my basket. If only these were a need, not a want!
"The enchanting composition of 15 luxurious, handcrafted brushes made of rose golden ferrules and matte brown handles comes stowed in an elegant dark brown brush clutch and is a statement accessory on every beauty lover's vanity." oh how this statement makes me want to shout 'TAKE MY MONEY'.
Gucci – Leather Belt with Double G Buckle | £320.00
Trust me Gucci, I need all the G's I can get okay. As I dream about one day owning this belt (is that weird?) I picture myself turning into a complete girlboss who has her life together.. although at this price, the only G's this gal's having is good old G&T'S in town on a saturday night.
Links of London – XS Sterling Silver Chain Charm Bracelet | £70.00
This one is not so much a break-the-bank kinda figure, but a bracelet I've been really loving. I'm a sucker for cute bracelets and this is not exception. I love the way this bracelet fastens with the clasp too as tiny fasteners are a nightmare with false nails!
"This silver chain bracelet features a classic T bar fastening and a mixture of elongated links and hoops. The perfect addition to your jewellery box. It can be worn alone as a simple and elegant chain or personalised with our range of keepsakes." ooo, suave.
Inkerman have been in touch for this interview to find out more about my favourite luxury items, to find out what's important to me and factors I consider before treating myself to something from my luxury wishlist. Inkerman is a luxury gift brand, specializing in personalized gifts for milestone events.
What is the best gift you have ever given?
This is a ridiculously hard question. In regards to luxury, some of the best gifts I've given didn't cost a great deal but I knew the person receiving would love them.
What is the most sentimental item you own?
Probably my pandora bracelet. It has charms from so many different people for so many different occasions in my life! I can hands down remember who got my each charm and when they got it for me.
What factors do you consider before investing in a luxury item?
Most importantly, I ask myself whether I am actually going to use the item. Usually, I want something and then I realise I'm probably only ever going to use it once or twice!
What are your top 5 favourite luxury items?
Tiffany Bracelet | Macbook | My car | Ted Baker bag & Purse | iPhone (obviously!!!)
What is your dream gift?
Now this, is an easy one. Pass me a pair of those Louboutins I've been dreaming of any day. Any takers?
