Here is a further double gap-jawed bite into Universal's
vast back catalogues at Philips, DG and Decca. The generosity of the
selection is clear enough from the timings of the CDs.
After a super speedy Sheba Arrival a sentimentalised Largo paves the way for Levine's smashing Jupiter (which I really loved). Very exciting. Then after all that pumping rush a chill-out - Plasson leads us contentedly through Honegger's summer pastorale with birdsong and soughing trees. This lulls us before Fiedler drops us into the febrile Hollywood glare of the Khachaturyan. One begins to notice a pattern here. It is there in the Sheba, the Holst and the rushing hustle of dramatic music. We drop back exhausted ready for the gently lapping and rocking adagio by the same composer. Gergiev and his Kirov orchestra are under-powered and pace the great climactic trumpet calls in too relaxed a way by comparison with the composer on an all-Khachaturyan BMG Melodiya twofer.
The famous Litolff Scherzo glitters and flickers along with punch and a dancing step. Ortiz is notably well coordinated with Atzmon and the RPO. True to formula the Mascagni Intermezzo provides caramel stickiness leading to Leo Vinland taking us through the mournful Last Sleep of the Virgin (Massenet) - rather boring I am afraid. Karajan has no such difficulty with Mussorgsky's Kovantschina Intermezzo nor for that matter with the delectably rolling and rocking Offenbach Barcarolle that follows it. The Dance of the Hours (yes, the very one appropriated by Stubby Kaye) is succeeded by a four-square Kappellmeisterisch Marche Militaire from Kna and the VPO. Chailly's are the last two tracks on CD1. The Shostakovich Gadfly Romance is done rather tremulously by Erez Ofer and the Tahiti Trot prettily plays out the disc.
The second disc has a good Vltava from Karajan and Comedians' Dance as a light interlude. Fiedler rustle-bustles rudely through Stars and Stripes Forever and then, who else but Karajan, gloops his way disappointingly through the great adagio from Sleeping Beauty. His Sugar Plum Fairy doesn't quite work either. He is much better in the Dance of the Flowers and returns for four tracks of orchestral Verdi but only after Barenboim and the ECO have regaled us with a slightly affected version of Greensleeves. Karajan's sentimental way with the Verdi orchestral bonne-bouches does not help matters. The last four tracks are unhackneyed. The Waldteufel Skaters are propelled sluggishly along by Neeme Järvi. Wirén's March from the Serenade suffers in much the same way. Where is the crackle in this music?
Two discs of which the first is a right little cracker. The second just doesn't quite cut it.

Hampton progressing on court and off
Published 4:00 am, Saturday, February 11, 2006
The lesson, for Devanei Hampton, boils down to this: "I represent Cal all the time."
Hampton began representing Cal before she even arrived on campus last fall, part of the dynamic recruiting class of local prep standouts looking to change the fortunes of the Bears' program.
She represented Cal on the night four weeks ago that she and teammate Jessica Lawson were involved in a fight at a high school game and were suspended the day before her team's highest-profile game of the season against Stanford.
And she will represent Cal today when the Bears take their second shot against No. 14-ranked Cardinal, this time in the comfort of Haas Pavilion.
Of Cal's four starting freshman, Hampton's talent and temperament have proven the most untamed. Cal first-year head coach Joanne Boyle is working on molding both into a remarkable package.
Hampton, who has started 17 games at center, is the Bears' leading scorer at 15.8 points a game and its second-leading rebounder at 7.8 rebounds per game. She is a leading candidate for conference freshman of the year honors, likely battling two of her teammates -- guard Alexis Gray-Lawson and forward Ashley Walker -- for the award.
Hampton, who along with Gray-Lawson, led Oakland Tech to two state titles, has undeniable ability. But her growing pains have been just as evident. Hampton has been suspended twice this season, first for two games as the season opened, then Jan. 14 at Stanford, when her absence from a televised game against a ranked team was very conspicuous.
Boyle doesn't want Hampton's transgression and punishment to be her defining moment. She sees defining moments all the time, ones that aren't getting reported in the newspaper or detailed on game telecasts.
"I don't think that people see how much she's grown," Boyle said. "The strides that kid has made on the court are amazing."
Hampton was a McDonald's All-American last season with a full package of size, strength, mobility and explosiveness.
But Boyle feels Hampton wasn't pushed to round out her game, particularly on defense, because she was such a dominant high school player.
"She had it so easy in high school," Boyle said. "It's not so much the development of her skills, but it's the intensity and playing hard on defense every possession. Along with her talent comes responsibility and she's buying into that."
Boyle has kept Hampton accountable on and off the court. In addition to the two suspensions, Boyle also held Hampton out of the starting lineup last Saturday against Oregon after what she considered lackluster efforts in two previous games against UCLA and Oregon State, both Cal losses.
"She did not show up in the first half of the UCLA game and she didn't show up in the first half of the Oregon State game," Boyle said. "In order for us to be successful, she has to be there for the entire game. For a freshman, I know it's a lot to ask."
Boyle has described Hampton's progress as "10 steps forward and one step back."
Hampton said she apologized to her teammates in the aftermath of her suspension for the Stanford game and her time on the bench during that game was difficult.
"They forgave me, but I let my team down and I know I could have helped them," Hampton said.
Today, she could be the catalyst for an upset that would set Cal on course for the NCAA Tournament. At Stanford last month, with Hampton on the bench and Boyle out of town tending to a family emergency, the Bears stuck with Stanford for much of the game before falling 87-75. Hampton will certainly shore up Cal's post game against the Cardinal frontcourt tandem of Brooke Smith and Kristen Newlin.
Boyle said she believes Hampton has learned from experiences, both good and bad.
"I told Dev that this (incident) is on your plate, it comes with who you are," Boyle said. "It comes with being Devanei Hampton and playing here in the East Bay where she went to high school. You have to walk away. That was a tough week, but I think she's learned from it. I think she understands that situations like that don't just affect her, (they affect) all of us."
Who: No. 14 Stanford (17-5, 12-2 Pac-10) at Cal (15-8, 7-6)

When: 2 p.m.

American Pitbull Terriers have a wonderful history, and at Florida Bully Connect we have a great passion for the animal. Of course over the years there has been bad press in some of the media, but this has now been shown to be a problem with the owner, not the animal. American Pitbull Terriers are very intelligent loyal dogs, and as long as they are trained in the right way they are regarded as excellent family pets. Here at Florida Bully Connect we believe in the importance of training our American Pitbull Terriers from a young age so that when they mature they become well mannered dogs that love and great companions. We are so proud of the Pitbull puppies we sell here because we have raised them in the proper way. They have been trained properly, they have been fed properly ande they have been bred from the finest bloodlines there are for American Pitbull Terriers.
All of our Pitbull puppies for sale are cared for and nurtured so that they are great dogs as soon as they leave us, and with our expert advice you will be able to continue that excellent training when you take occupation of the dog. We will of course also give you hints and tips on how to train and care for your dog once it leaves our kennels.

About a quarter of computer scientists are women, and from Nov. 28 – Giving Tuesday – until February 2018, Arlington-based Capterra will donate $10 to Girls Who Code for every software user review the company publishes.
Girls Who Code is a nonprofit which trains girls in grades 6-12 how to close the coding skills gap. Capterra’s latest fundraising efforts are an expansion of the donation drive it mounted last year.
“Women are 50 percent of the population, yet only 28 percent of the tech workforce,” said Capterra General Manager Claire Alexander to Technical.ly DC. “Anyone can have a good idea, and we all benefit when those ideas are brought to life. Capterra is proud to support Girls Who Code, which opens the flow of great ideas generated and brought to life by women.”
Girls Who Code was founded five years ago with 20 girls in New York City, and has reached 40,000 girls in every state in the U.S. with after-school programs and summer camps.
“The United States has a computing-skills crisis that is holding back American companies and economic growth,” Girls Who Code founder Reshma Saujani wrote in the Washington Post. “The solution lies with girls and young women.”

Feeling bogged down by work or your to-do list that is 10 miles long?
Each of us are walking through our own set of responsibilities. You are not alone, but there has to be a balance. Right?
- How do you master your own life?
- How do you stop the struggle and embrace the good with the hard?
- How do you navigate from the mud and lows and the soaring and highs?
These are the questions I have asked myself through the years, through sickness and health, through success and learning failures.
My answer to these questions are the same the master key is to cut the crap and know’s and cares for herself. Not in a lonely way, or an “I don’t need anything/one way, but in an honoring relationship. This relationship then overflows into all of her life, into work, romance, her family and her legacy. I have seen men and women alike, lose all sense of self to work, to substance, to tv and media, to their to-do list. But no one gets sick and tired when they are honoring their own knowing.
Life runs in cycles people and choices, come in and out of your life to show you what you need to know. We are all under contract to serve as teachers and students, mirroring one another. When we run from these lessons they repeat and that brings us to overwhelm.
To stop a pattern you must see it, accept it and choose what you do desire to show up in your life.
Yet, no one teaches us how to do this minus the pain. This is where I KNOW. I know how to stop the cycles. How to embrace your own journey as you go through what some call “earth school” and I call Your Own University, and live in your power – take your life back into your own hands – create balance and healthy and abundance. How to make the impossible happen even IF you don’t know how. Even if you don’t see the money or time to do what you know deep down you need to do in order to master your greatest asset you.
Get my training today and take the 12-day challenge because you don’t want another day, month, year to go by feeling lost, enslaved and dragged down.

How it works?
1. Work as normal mini desktop computer, only need connecting to monitor, keyboard and mouse to make a full computing system;
2. Work as HTPC, using H DMI cable connecting to HDTV, support remote air mouse and keyboard controller. Main advantages:
Small size: all mini pcs smaller than A4 paper, some of them only 3.5 inch size, just like the HDD sized using it traditional fat computers. Most of those small sized mini pc can be mounted to the backside of monitor, and takes almost no space of your desk, make your desk more clear and smart.
Durability: all those fanless mini pcs are highly intergrated, fanless design makes it runs silent and no need extra maintenance like normal fat comptuters. And most of them using aluminium alloy computer case, very durable.
Low power: all the mini pcs using 12V power supply, most of them power consumption from 15W to 30W, compare to 150W traditional pc's consumption, it helps saving more than 80% energy.
Universal performance: mini pcs compatiable with almost all popular operating systems, such as Windows, Linux. You can use it as personal computer at home, or use it as HTPC to built your own home theater center, and also you can use it in offices, training centers, factories, internet cafe and everywhere that require computers.

Dental implant Treatment should be placed at Dr. Mohan's Dental Clinic. Both temporary and permanent restorations can be secured to dental implants using anchoring devices. These anchors are biocompatible with the human body and are often constructed of titanium. Similar to artificial joint replacements, dental implants are a great alternative for mouth-related replacements. A single tooth root dental implant can be obtained by a patient, which will function well for a crown to replace a single tooth. Two or more can support a dental framework with a wider span. These structures could be a fixed denture or an anchored crown and bridge. When establishing how much anchorage is needed as a foundation, it is obvious that aesthetics, anatomical restrictions, permanence, and strength, among other things, must be taken into account. We always begin with the destination in mind when it comes to dental implant treatment, and then we work backward to see how we might get there. Prior to, during, and after dental implant treatment, all shortcomings or possible problems must be resolved.
For more details, please contact us at 9999929397.

Future demand for batteries for electric cars, renewable energy storage and portable devices like smart phones and laptops is driving up the price, and investor interest in, cobalt.
Cobalt is one of a new complex of 'tech-metals', also known as lifestyle metals, that includes lithium and vanadium.
It is yet to receive the wide spread public notice that lithium has in recent years, despite lithium-ion batteries containing more cobalt than lithium.
Ardea Resources, which will list on the ASX next month, has uncovered what is thought to be the largest known cobalt deposit in Australia.
"In the batteries you have an anode and a cathode, as the cobalt is used in the cathode," said managing director Matthew Painter.
"The cobalt is entirely within the cathode as lithium-cobalt oxide and without it, you haven't got a lithium-ion battery."
Half of the global supply of cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in Central Africa.
Last year Amnesty International released a report on the rampant use of child labour in mines in the DRC.
It concluded that in 2014 there were 40,000 children working in mines across the country, many of them in cobalt mines.
Matthew Painter said the sourcing of ethically-mined cobalt was another major driver for the industry's development.
"Clearly not ever operator there (DRC) is doing the wrong thing," he said.
"But it seems to have tainted a good chunk of the industry there; so operators like Apple, Samsung and LG Chem are taking action to clean up supply lines.
"And it's necessary that any country that's at the end of the supply line take action and highlight the issue."
Cobalt price on the up
Mathew Painter estimated that there was around 124,000 tonnes of cobalt supplied each year.
"The price is on the march, it's increasing quite rapidly and will help change the economics of some projects I would imagine.
"In December it was around $US31,500 a tonne for cobalt metal, it is now sitting around $US36,000 and the predictions are it will continue to rise," he said.
The cobalt deposit is within the Kalgoorlie Nickel Project zone in the goldfields of Western Australia.
The region is one of the best nickel provinces in the world but the industry has been in the doldrums in recent years in the face of low prices and international competition.
The rapidly growing demand for lithium-ion batteries could well change all that.
"There's a substantial portion of nickel in the lithium-ion batteries," Mr Painter said.
"We can target the cobalt directly, pull out the nickel at the same time, and make a product that's going to be immediately usable for the tech industry."

In Vietnam, Da Lat is associated with romanticism. It is normal! Da Lat is the number one destination for honeymooners. It also evokes ghosts, it is also the most popular filming location for Vietnamese horror movies.
Part 1: Travel Diary Part
2: Practical Tips
Part 1: Travel Diary
In this travel diary that goes back in time, I tell you about our stay in this beautiful city, which JB and I visited in December 2013. This is only the 2nd time I visit Da Lat. The first time being in 2006 or 2007, with my family. I liked it very much, and I wanted to go back there with JB.
What you need to know about Da Lat
For the Vietnamese, Da Lat = city where the 4 seasons parade in one day. In the morning, it is spring, at noon, it is summer, in the afternoon, it is autumn and in the evening, it is winter. As soon as someone goes to Da Lat, everyone around him will warn him: the weather is changeable, don’t get sick. All the more so if this person comes from South Vietnam (where the weather is fine all year round). Going to Da Lat is like going to Iceland for him, he must be sufficiently dressed, and dressed in layers, to be able to take off/give back the clothes according to the “season” of the day.
Da Lat, located in the heights, was a popular destination for settlers wanting to escape the stifling heat of Saigon. Da Lat reminded them of Europe.
It’s a bit like Ba Na hills, which served as a vacation spot for settlers stationed in Da Nang. As a result, there are a lot of French villas in art deco style. The city is very big, because it is made up of vast valleys, parks, lakes… rivers… it’s super romantic.
After the war, the villas were abandoned. Plants took up residence there, destroying some, covering others, creating abandoned places very favorable for filming. Add to this the fog present towards the end of the day, the cold, the wind, the forests… and you have the best horror movie set.
But hey, if you stay downtown, you won’t have this horror vision eh ahahaha don’t be afraid!
Day 1: Arrival at the hotel Edensee Da Lat
During my first visit to Da Lat, I fell in love with Lake Tuyen Lam, a little out of town. And when my father told me that a 4-star hotel opened on the lake and that he could have discounts for us, I said yes without thinking.
If I remember correctly, we booked 3 nights there, including December 24th and 25th. Thanks to Christmas, we had some free activities, which I will tell you about later.
As the hotel is a bit off-center, there is a free shuttle that makes hotel – city center several times a day. There is also a shuttle (paying) that comes to pick us up at the airport. I still remember, in this shuttle, there was a Vietnamese customer, who had to answer the stupid questions of his junior colleagues. I heard him explain the difference between “impressions” and “clicks” on Facebook 😀 I felt like ripping the phone out of his hand and saying “you’re on vacation man, let them do a Google search!”
This hotel is really the hotel of my dreams. Not only it overlooks the most peaceful (and clean) lake that I know in Vietnam, but moreover, we have like a private villa, with balcony, surrounded by trees. You can see on the picture the main building, and the small villas.
To get from the villa to the main building, there is an electric golf cart system. Just call the reception and they will pick us up. Too classy! Even if we are only 100m from the main building, JB and I still call the electric car haahha.
Thanks to Christmas, we were able to benefit from one hour of free fishing and one massage per person + half board (we can choose between lunch and dinner, but we prefer dinner at the hotel instead of going to the city center and back with the shuttle). In short, we spent an excellent Christmas in this hotel. For 4 days 3 nights => 100€/night double room with half board
Note: I checked the rates in 2019, it’s about 80€/double room, breakfast included (link Booking)
Lake Tuyen Lam
Since the Tuyen Lam lake is right next door, this is what we visit first! The shuttle of the hotel also drops us there, at the landing stage from where several motorized boats leave.
Tuyen Lam Lake is an artificial lake of 350ha, created thanks to a dam. The water is used for agriculture and the water of the lake comes from the Tia River. It is very deep (up to 30m) and has small islands covered with fir trees. It is unrivalled in its romanticism.
We see other hotels under construction (in my opinion, they are finished now in 2019), the flowers, the gardens, it’s super super beautiful!
While I speak Vietnamese, the communication isn’t going very well with the owner of the boat (North Vietnamese like me do not understand anything with the accent of the South).
He makes us make a “shopping” stop on a small island, where we feel a little obliged to consume, before getting back on the road. It is when he understands that we have just had breakfast and that we are really not hungry, that we take again the road towards the pagoda of Truc Lam.
In any case, if there is something not to be missed at Da Lat, it is this lake. One feels really good there, with such a positive energy that a Zen Buddhist temple is built right next to it (in Vietnam, the locations of pagodas, temples, statues are always carefully chosen, according to the rules of feng-shui, energy, four elements etc.)
Thuyen Vien Truc Lam
Yes, on the lakeshore is a relatively new temple, Truc Lam. The first time I went to this temple, I crossed the whole lake as I did today, and when I saw the temple from the boat, I thought I was in paradise (and my mother didn’t even tell me where we were going).
The second visit is less impressive though 🙂 because I know what to expect.
We walk around the temple. It is too new for me and everywhere I see signs of wealth, such as this probably expensive bonsai. It isn’t my favorite temple in Vietnam, but its exceptional location makes it interesting.
Then you take the cable car down to the city center. The view is less nice than the lake 🙂 but you can see that the city isn’t polluted.
We then take a cab to go to the valley of love. It is a paying park where lovers walk.
The landscapes are magnificent…
… but be careful with your eyes because the kitsch elements are omnipresent..
Everywhere in Da Lat you will see whole letters/phrases made of plants/flowers.
We take a cab back to the city center. We book a one day tour in a tourist agency and the shuttle of the hotel comes to pick us up.
Day 2: Day trip
The tourist agency picks us up early in the morning at the hotel. We must be about twenty tourists.
The guide speaks very good English and is very funny. I can’t help noticing that she is very, very pretty, but that her flowered t-shirt and her fan hat are of dubious taste. However, it isn’t uncommon for guides – women – to get hurt on purpose to avoid being harassed. Especially in case of tours lasting several days, where they risk being harassed by tourists, or even worse, hotel owners. On cross-regional buses, many Vietnamese women traveling alone wear a cloth mask – to hide their beauty and to be less bothered.
Note: harassment is of little concern to foreign tourists.
The first stop is a flower plantation. The special weather in Da Lat allows to grow many flowers and plants that do not grow elsewhere in Vietnam. The roses of Da Lat are famous all over the country, we can still find roses that sting and smell good (real ones). They have the particularity of having large stems, contrary to flowers from other Vietnamese regions.
Vietnamese people always like to have flowers with large stems because they often buy large vases. When it comes to offering flowers, it has to be huge, ostentatious.
It is the only place in the country where tulips grow, as well as strawberries and persimmons of extraordinary quality. It used to be the only place where we could have tomatoes all year round for example, but now we import them because Da Lat cannot provide for the whole country.
Flowers grow all year round, and Vietnamese florists – from all regions – always rely on Da Lat to provide them with the most beautiful flowers for Valentine’s Day, Teacher’s Day, Mother’s Day and so on.
The first stop is a coffee plantation. I don’t know anything about coffee so this stop hasn’t been of extraordinary interest to me, but I think it’s good to promote Vietnamese coffee to tourists – because it’s still little known. Vietnamese people are used to drink very strong coffee. Tourists and expats, having tasted Vietnamese coffee, often become addicted to it. There are even more coffee and tea plantations in Northern Vietnam, on the Thai Nguyen side, if you are interested. And if you are interested in importing organic Vietnamese coffee and tea, I have contacts too (the girl who doesn’t miss an opportunity to boost the economy of her loool country)
We then visit an insect farm – cricket farm to be more precise. It’s less scary than we thought. A few days before being eaten, the crickets must be fasted to be as clean as possible. Afterwards, they will be fried or grilled. When you eat them with hot sauce, frankly, it’s not bad at all. I confess that I don’t know who they sell all this to because I have never eaten them in my life, and neither have my Vietnamese friends. Maybe they eat more in the South than in the North?
We are taken to see the making of silk. We see the silkworms, how the silk threads are made (10 worms = 1 silk thread) etc. The guide suggests us to eat the cooked silkworms, but nobody wants them 🙂 Silkworms are eaten in the North of Vietnam too, it’s like an appetizer for us, waiting for dinner. But my parents don’t like them so I didn’t eat much.
We continue our visit to the Datanla waterfall. That’s it, the “spring” is gone, it’s super hot now, it’s “summer”. Fortunately we are dressed in layers. The flow is very strong, be careful and do not make too much selfies at the risk of finishing at the bottom of the cascade.
We then visit a temple. I don’t know why, but I have absolutely no memory of this temple #selective memory or what we ate for lunch 😀
And we finish by visiting this house named Crazy House – part of which is converted into a hotel – with its strange architecture, like a gigantic spider’s web. At the time, some parts were still under construction.
Right next to this house is an embroidery gallery. I strongly encourage you to visit it, as they show embroidered canvases on both sides. I’ve never seen this before, it’s super beautiful, it’s 100% traditional and 100% handmade. To visit!
That’s it, it’s already over! I really liked this one day tour, it’s really great and they don’t take us to romantic parks reserved for lovers. It’s a good introduction to Da Lat’s specialties and know-how.
Day 3: Da Lat City Center
We go downtown again, looking for a goat barbecue. The first time I came here, my mother’s friends took me to eat barbecue and I liked it too much. Unfortunately, I didn’t write down the address so this time we chose a piff barbecue
The barbecue is charcoal. There is a guy pushing a cart full of meat and fish. We take the plate we want (each plate has a color corresponding to the price), and we pay at the end. It’s not as good as what I ate last time, but it’s still not bad.
Note: don’t ask me for the address, I don’t remember it. Type “bbq” on google maps to find the closest barbecue to your hotel.
In Da Lat, there are a lot of nice cafes, nice restaurants, you’ll have to dig a little bit on Tripadvisor. It is the city where the homestays are the most beautiful of the country also, do not hesitate to make a tour on Airbnb
We spend time at the city’s central market. I absolutely want to go there because the honeyed saleswomen always make me taste a lot of free stuff. Contrary to the saleswomen in the North who yell at customers who don’t buy anything, here they are super nice and nice “come and taste this and that, you don’t have to buy”. And if I don’t buy anything, they don’t say anything either.
I particularly liked the beef jerky here (which they call “dried doe”, but it’s more like beef, or even pork). When they make us taste tea, they also cheat, by putting a little honey or sweet tasting herbs – the tea tasted on the stand will be too good, but at home it will be bland. Go ahead, it’s a great local experience!
There are local restaurants inside, hygiene isn’t their strong point, but it is good and cheap. I remember eating a kind of pancake grilled on the barbecue, the specialty of the city but I didn’t find it very good.
Here you can find a lot of wool sweaters. OK, it’s acrylic, but it’s cheap and it helps the tourists who did not bring enough warm clothes.
Day 4 :
We stayed at the hotel all day (it’s Christmas Day), to take advantage of the free activities and to rest.
Part 2: Practical Tips
In Da Lat, the most romantic city in Vietnam, it is recommended toopt for a super 4/5 star hotel, or a charminghomestay on Airbnb.
Our hotel is called Edensee (booking link), I recommend it especially for the Christmas period.
This is the city that I gladly recommend to digital nomads, there are plenty of things to discover in the surroundings, cafes too nice, too good, it’s pleasant, quiet, fresh, and not polluted. There are rivers, mountains, plantations of lavender, tulips… the instagrammers will also find their happiness there. You can also visit other equally romantic lakes in the city center, go to the villa of the last king of Vietnam… there is no lack of activities.
For those looking for thrills, ask the locals where Da Lat’s most famous haunted house is located. It is occasionally occupied by homeless people.
After Da Lat, you can go to Nha Trang, or Ho Chi Minh City. By bus or plane.

It has been revealed that Dubai boasts an unemployment rate of 0.5%, which equates to 2.7 million people being employed. This information was announced by the Dubai Statistics Centre as part of the results from its Labour Force Survey 2017. Dubai’s unemployment rate of 0.5% is significantly lower than the global average and it highlights the strength of Dubai’s economy.
Dubai’s Impressively Low Unemployment Rate
With a high employment rate in various sectors, the total employment rate in Dubai reached 2,778,000 in 2017. Of this total, 2,077,603 people were working in Dubai itself and the remainder were residing outside of Dubai. In the last few years, Dubai has added an average of 110,000 people to its resident workforce annually.
The Executive Director of the Dubai Statistics Center, Arif Al Muhairi, explained that the results form the Labour Force Survey 2017 reflect the flexibility and strength of Dubai’s economy.
The Labour Force Survey 2017 shows that the percentage of working age people who were employed increased by close to 1% in 2017. This took the total number from 83.1% to 82.2%. The largest percentage of this increase was accounted for by female workers.
The survey also shows that the economic participation rate of Emirati men and women in Dubai increased by 3%, reaching 51.1%. Overall, Emirati men had an economic participation rate of 65.4% and Emirati women had an economic participation rate of 37.4%. This showcases that the government’s policies to promote gender balance and economic participation among men and women in Dubai are having a positive effect.
Arif Al Muhairi went on to say that the unemployment rate of men in Dubai increased by 0.6% and it stood at 2.6% in 2017. Furthermore, the unemployment rate of women increased by 0.5% and stood at 4.9% in 2017. Despite this increase, Dubai remains to have one of the most impressively low unemployment rates globally.

Question from JY: Do you feel any emotional connection to your main character?
Yes! Like Penny, I felt like an outsider during high school, and I didn’t know how to break in. I mean, a complete body and personality transplant might have done the trick, but otherwise, no clue. Other traits Penny and I share: love of new foods, a bit of a wisecracking sense of humor, and a fear of flying in puddle-jumpers.
JY: What inspired you to set the story in Maine?
I wanted to put Penny way out of her comfort zone - and in a place she couldn’t easily run away from. So once I plucked her out of her familiar urban surroundings, a tiny island off the coast of frozen Maine seemed like the perfect place to plop her down.
RF: How did you come up with your title?
The Black Butterfly is the name of the inn where Penny is staying during the story. I selected the name because I like its contrasting qualities. I associate butterflies with lightness and warmth, while I connect the color black with the dark of winter and of supernatural beings. The story combines these attributes in ways I think readers will find compelling.
RF & LW: How did you come up with your character names?
I spend a lot of time picking out my characters' names. I’m not scientific about it; it just has to feel right. So Penny is a name I’ve always liked, and I know a bunch of Georges who are great guys. Rita seemed to fit for an older woman from another country. Bubbles - Blanche - is named in honor of my own mom. I found the name Blue on a list of early 20th-century names, and that timing is pertinent to his character.
RF: What prompted you to make it a love triangle?
The characters made me do it! Seriously. I put the characters together in an inn, each with their own personality, backstory and desires, and they demanded it.
LW: What's your favorite ghost story?
Charles Dickens' "The Signal Man" creeps me out in a deliciously eerie way. It's not just that there’s a ghost, it’s that the ghost presages terrible accidents, and you never know who’s going to be the next victim. It's real sleep-with-the-lights-on stuff.
LW: What's the key to plotting a suspenseful tale?
Start with characters that readers care about. Put them in danger of abruptly losing something significant. Add obstacles but also allow progress, so readers won't know what to expect next. Keep the stakes high, and keep the possibilities open - you don't want readers to know how it's going to end until it actually ends.
LW: What's the story behind the snow globe in the trailer?
First of all, I love snow globes. More to the point, the snow globe in the trailer symbolizes the happy, cozy side of winter and the holidays: home (however you define that), family, friends, and the security those things bring. This stands in sharp contrast to many of the things Penny encounters this winter: strange surroundings, isolation and danger.
JY: Would you ever write a sequel or prequel to The Black Butterfly?
I’d love to write a sequel - picking up the following summer when the characters reconvene at the inn during high tourist season.
LW: You posted on your Twitter that you treated yourself to a Miyazaki film festival. Which one is your favorite?
Wait, I can only pick one? Then I’d have to say Kiki’s Delivery Service. It’s a wonderful animation about a teenage witch who, as part of her training, must live alone for one year. She leaves her village for the big city, where she supports herself by starting a delivery service - after all, what’s a flying broom for, right? Along the way, she learns about herself, discovers new worlds, and meets a boy.

The completely natural development of a ready-to-harvest kitchen onion requires patience from the gardener: sown onions do not “create” much more in the first year than many beautiful green leaves, because the first vegetation period is not enough for them to develop flowers, and certainly no onions worth mentioning are produced can. Only in the second vegetation period did the onions receive the biological signals in order to develop a flower, while the stem axis in the lower part already thickens into a bulbous, distended onion. In the original onion plant, not just one onion is produced, but many daughter onions next to each other, as can still be seen today with shallots, for example. A part of these daughter onions can then be harvested,
Table of Contents
Garden bulb growth and flower development
Because all of this took too long for humans, a lot has been done in breeding and culture in order to be able to harvest the coveted onion bulbs earlier. Today, onion types are cultivated commercially, which form one large onion and hardly any or no daughter onions and have a late / little tendency to flower. In addition, small onion plants are usually preferred, which can develop an onion of considerable size in one season if they are planted in spring (this is how normal kitchen onions for trade are made). These summer onions can also be grown in mild areas by sowing them in very early spring to be harvested between August and October. This does not make the largest onions, but the sowing should produce onions with a great aroma.
These summer onions can be stored quite well; the later they are harvested, the more ripe the onions and the firmer their consistency. So-called winter onions are also grown, which are, more precisely, onions cultivated for the winter. They are sown in August, ripen in the next season and can then be harvested as early as June. The winter onions are a little juicier and also a little milder, but these “children’s onions” can only be stored for a very short time.
Regardless of how onions are grown: they only develop blossoms for reproduction as adult onions, while at the same time they form daughter onions “on the other side” (in cultivars: one large onion). Since we normally aim to harvest the onions below and not the onion flowers above, the cultivation process should encourage the development of as large an onion as possible. The formation of flowers is disruptive because it costs the plant metabolism strength, which the onion should rather benefit from, so it is prevented as much as possible.
Flowering bulbs can be used multiple times
So much for the disdainful theory of prevented or preventable flowering. But even onion cultivars that are not bred to bloom to the greatest extent are living plants that do not always completely forget the “genetic timetable” of their ancestors. The better you take care of your bulb plants, the better they will grow and the faster they will grow up – with the result that they will be happy to produce one or the other flower.
When that happens, you have several options for dealing with it:
You can remove the flower stem as soon as you realize it is one. When growing onions for the first time, usually only when the stem has already developed a flower; later you will learn to distinguish the much stronger flower stalk from normal onion foliage before flowering. If the flower stalk is removed early, the bulb will continue to grow normally after this flower stalk has been removed and can be harvested normally.
If the flower is already fully developed, you can actually pull out the whole onion plant right away, there will be no “more onion” this season (fully flowering onions no longer form large, round bulbs, but remain small and elongated). Stop the bloom immediately after pulling out, otherwise the bloom will quickly suck all the flavor out of the tuber, use onion + onion leek normally in the kitchen and prepare delicacies with the onion blossom:
Onion flowers can be eaten, such as onion leek and onion bulbs; and they taste pretty good. You make z. For example, you can use simple tomatoes (with oil, salt and pepper) to make a special starter, and decorate salads and spicy soups. Chefs also like to mix the onion blossoms in herb butter – but only when quite a few onions have blossomed in the restaurant’s kitchen garden, because some of the blossoms are already planned differently:
3. Make onions
Connoisseurs are not annoyed when some of their bulbs develop flowers, but leave these flowers on the plant until the seeds are ripe in order to produce their onions themselves:
- Ripe fruit pods slowly dry up until they tear along the midrib, exposing the seeds
- The time has come when the shells of the 5 – 8 mm large seed pods turn brown, usually in July
- Then the harvest can begin; 40 – 80 capsules with several seeds per fruit cluster
- The completely dry flowers are harvested in a bowl on a sunny day, with most of the seeds already loosening from their shell
- The seeds are dried and kept dry over the winter
- Sow in potting soil at the end of February
- Set up growing pots by a sunny window (around 20 ° C during the day, cooler at night)
- After about 10 days, many young bulbs appear, which can be planted in the garden bed if they are strong enough and the soil is warm enough
- If you want to wait for the ice saints in a colder region, move ahead later or plan a stopover in the foil cold frame
- A little too much warmth during rearing should be more beneficial to prevent future flowering:
- In commercial cultivation, cuttings are kept warm to protect against excessive bloom formation
- Temperatures above 6 ° C during the dormant period even destroy an already initiated flower approach
When a large number of onions have flowered, you can put the nutty to peppery tasting onion seeds in a spice grinder and B. on sandwiches or in stews.
In the spice mill, seed coats do not do any harm, but they also do not bring any profit. You can separate the seeds from the husks quite easily by “muddling through” the freshly harvested seeds with your hand in the bowl and then simply blowing into the bowl (outdoors, please). The wafer-thin, light, dry seed coats can be blown away, the somewhat heavier seeds remain (if you blow with sensitivity, “wind from full cheeks” empties the whole bowl).
Freshly cut onions will keep for a while in the vase. This delicate multiple bloom adorns every floristic work of art.
Prevent flower development
In the onion harvest year, the following happens at the same time:
- The roots grow at the bottom of the earth and the stem axis thickens
- Until at some point the bulbous, distended onion that you want to harvest emerges
- If you have chosen old, original onion varieties, a few daughter onions will usually also develop
- Green shoots grow at the top, depending on sowing / pre-cultivation, maybe a strong flower shoot at some point
You don’t want this flowering shoot, at least not on every onion plant, because you cannot harvest real bulbs from flowering onions. So you have to somehow spoil the desire for flowering in the bulbs, the following measures are suggested:
- Prepare the onion bed in the autumn before cultivation by working well-ripened compost into the soil
- After sticking onions, keep them tight within the required good nutrient supply (high eater)
- So if possible, only carefully re-fertilize with organic fertilizer such as horn meal
- Rapidly available mineral fertilizers are difficult to dose, too little makes onions shoot, too much leads to a lot of limp green
- For mulching, choose a meager mulch of leaves rather than tasty compost, which animates vigorous onions to bloom
- Cut away any flower buds as soon as possible
- If a particular variety continues to bloom excessively, you are just too comfortable with those bulbs
- So choose another variety (or switch to an onion grower)
When bulb plants bloom, plants that have been greatly influenced by breeding will remember their true nature. So not a broken leg, but rather a compliment to the good care. If you can’t stop flower development in time, there are some things you can do with the onion flowers, such as: B. grow new onion plants.

The province may fill in a glaring void of information in the looming proportional representation referendum next week.
With five months to go before the electoral reform referendum and the ‘No’ side’s Bill Tieleman says we might soon see campaign rules and a draft referendum question.
However Tieleman says the information will come much too late in the process.
“Certainly springing something on people a couple of months before a vote seems to me to be absolutely the epitome of the wrong way to do it.”
Tieleman, a long time NDP supporter, says the Horgan government might have shot itself in the foot with this botched vote.
“If you fool around with the process then you risk the potential of wearing the results of that were people are unhappy on both sides. People who want proportional representation and people who don’t want it. That is a serious risk to the government.”
Tieleman says this is the opposite of an informed referendum campaign pitting first past the post versus a specific form of proportional representation.
“This is no way to run a campaign. This is a fundamental tenet of democracy. We should be having a full outline of an alternative system so that we can compare it to our existing first past the post system.”
The legislation mandates a November mail in referendum vote leaving as of right now just five months to run a referendum campaign.

Humboldt names former NHLer Oystrick coach
Darcy Haugan's "core covenant" will remain painted on the wall as the Humboldt Broncos begin their next season.
The guidance from Haugan, who was among 16 people killed in a horrific bus crash at a rural intersection in April, encourages players to put family first, treat others with respect and play and practice with passion.
On Tuesday, the Broncos named former NHL defenseman Nathan Oystrick as the team's new coach and general manager.
Oystrick, 35, is a Saskatchewan native who appeared in 65 games with the Atlanta Thrashers, Anaheim Ducks and St. Louis Blues from three seasons between 2008 and 2011. He tallied 15 points (five goals, 10 assists) and 61 penalty minutes in that time.
"I did not know Darcy Haugan," Oystrick said at a news conference. "But like so many people in this world today, I wish I had. I believe in his commitment to not just developing skilled hockey players, but developing great human beings, and I hope that I can make him proud while doing this job."
Oystrick has yet to meet the crash survivors. He hopes that his upbeat style will help both the team and the community.
"On the ice, I want to play a fast-paced, in-your-face game," Oystrick said. "My goal here is to win championships, but also to build strong-character people. ... Off the ice, I want to build relationships with the people of Humboldt in the community and help wherever and whenever I can.
"If I've learned anything in my playing career, it's that the biggest thing that hockey does for anyone is build relationships, whether it's in your community, your teammates, your coaches -- it doesn't matter."

In the opening scene of Godless, Marshal John Cook (Sam Waterston) rides into the town of Creede, Colorado, as a dust storm swirls around him. The marshal lowers his bandana and squints into the distance, surveying the scene impassively as the landscape slowly comes into focus. He takes in the carnage of a firefight, a wrecked train, and countless bodies who seem to have all been shot in the head. Then one of his men directs him to the sight of something so awful that it makes the steely old-timer stagger a little, and fall to his knees in the dirt: the sight of a small boy, maybe 5 years old, who’s been lynched from a post.
What can the Western, that hoary, craggy old relic, a staple of TCM movie marathons and Disneyland saloon experiences, say about life in contemporary America? Godless, written and directed by Scott Frank (Get Shorty, Minority Report) for Netflix, and executive produced by Steven Soderbergh, is a gorgeous, slyly subversive affirmation of the genre’s power, even if it isn’t quite the “feminist Western” it was marketed as. The seven-episode series has all the tropes of classic models: outlaws, train heists, brooding heroes, disillusioned lawmen, boundless scenery. But it also has the weight of a world in which something is out of balance. The tension between freedom and order, between outlaw individualism and functioning communities, has come to a breaking point.
In that, Godless is doing something quietly revolutionary. Westerns have long played a part in building the lore of American history. “No other nation,” the historian David Hamilton Murdoch writes in The American West: The Invention of a Myth, “has taken a time and place from its past and produced a construct of the imagination equal to America’s creation of the West.” Westerns celebrate the heroic individual rather than the well-ordered—but inevitably vulnerable—community. They glorify domination, whether over Native Americans or the treacherous terrain of the frontier. And they fetishize guns, which unfailingly allow heroes to safeguard democracy—never mind the collateral damage of bodies littered in the streets after each epic confrontation.
Rather than endorse these motifs, though, Godless leads viewers to interrogate them. The series is built around an inevitable showdown between Frank Griffin (Jeff Daniels) and Roy Goode (Jack O’Connell)—a battle between Goode and evil. Frank is a wickedly charismatic outlaw who dresses like a preacher and bestows biblical fury upon anyone in his path. Roy is his protegé turned mortal enemy, an orphan whom Frank unofficially adopted as his favorite son, and whose desertion precipitated Frank’s most heinous act yet: the murder of an entire town, the wreckage of which is detailed in the opening scene. “Roy Goode betrayed me, and I will kill any man, woman, or child who harbors him,” Frank tells a terrified newspaper editor in the second episode. “The good people of Creede let him walk their streets. And now they don’t have any streets. Or people.”
Roy seeks sanctuary at the home of a stranger, a widow named Alice Fletcher (Michelle Dockery), who shoots him off his horse before she allows him into her barn to recover. Alice and her half-Native son are shunned by the local town of La Belle, New Mexico, which lost 83 of its male citizens in a mining accident a few years ago—almost all of the male population. The tragedy has tainted La Belle’s reputation, and yet the women have managed to establish a functioning society largely by themselves. Maggie McNue (Merritt Wever), the wife of the late mayor, acts as de facto leader. The women are working together to build a church, and—in one of the show’s slyer winks—Callie Dunne (Tess Frazer) has established a school in the now-customerless brothel, Magdalena’s House of Rapture.
The concept of a frontier town without men is a captivating one, and so the biggest immediate disappointment within Godless is that it spends much less time with the women of La Belle than trailers had suggested it might. But to be fair to its creators, the idea of the series being a feminist Western seems to have been amped up in the marketing of the show, while their primary concerns were slightly different. Godless wants to unpack the layered mythology of the American frontier, and to do that it requires confrontations between law and outlaw. Frank is the dark core of the story, pitted against Roy, against Marshal Cook, and against Bill McNue (Scoot McNairy), La Belle’s sheriff, whose deputy is a gangly kid named Whitey Winn (Thomas Brodie-Sangster).
Also central to the story—and emphasized in the name of the show itself—is the supposed absence of a higher power in the wild West. The church in La Belle is a construction site; the priest is supposedly en route from Pennsylvania but is several months late. When Frank happens across a small group of Norwegian settlers, he demands one of the women join him at night so he doesn’t kill them all. “You are no man of God!” her husband cries out, observing Frank’s dog collar. “God?” Frank hisses. “What God? Mister, you clearly don’t know where you are. This here’s the paradise of the locust, the lizard, the snake. It’s the land of the bleeding and the wrathful. It’s godless country. And the sooner you accept your inevitable demise, the longer you all are gonna live.”
And yet Frank is a kind of god. Running roughshod through a region that offers little protection from thieves, rapists, and murderers, he’s forged an autocracy around his definitive (if twisted) code. The West of Godless is full of strange mini-cults. There are groups of men wearing buffalo heads who traffic children and violate women, and Mormons dressed as Native Americans who killed Frank’s parents, raped his sister, and then adopted young Frank, teaching him that “things were purified with blood.” Frank’s own band of brothers is made up of misfits whom he’s saved from horrific situations and taken up as family. In one scene, Frank even steps into a house that a town has abandoned, helping the residents, who’ve been struck by an infectious fever. These moments of kindness from a brutal murderer add complexity to a fascinating character, but they also indict the idea that the culture of the Old West should ever be lionized. That the fearsome Frank Griffin—a killer of children—is often the most compassionate person around is a sign of a society gone very wrong.
Where Godless is most intriguing though, is in its treatment of guns. In terms of structure and style, it’s a deeply conventional Western—all eight hours or so seem to be building toward a climactic battle in La Belle, and there are gunfights and heists and altercations throughout. But Roy, who acts as a father figure to Alice’s son Truckee (Samuel Marty), has a more measured attitude toward guns than his own skill with them might attest. After a newcomer spits on Truckee, Truckee tells Roy that he could tell Roy wanted to pull his gun. “Say we all commence shooting at each other at the same time,” Roy says. “Then what? … Then you could be dead, and if other people were standing in the street, they might be dead, too.” It’s a nod to the fact that, in reality, a good guy with a gun rarely bests a bad guy with a gun as simply as it looks in the movies. Even in the Old West.
This doesn’t mean that Godless’s gunfights aren’t thrilling. But they’re also terrifying. The camera pays attention to the violence of it all, to the impact of bullet hitting flesh, and to the needless waste of life. In For a Few Dollars More, Sergio Leone characterized the Old West as a place where “life has no value.” Godless refutes that assertion. One of the virtues of it being essentially an eight-hour movie is that it spends enough time with ancillary characters that every single death feels like a powerful loss. While the show could have simply used the mining accident as a device to set up a town dominated by women, it instead takes time in one episode to recreate not the catastrophe itself, but the moments before—the slow, peaceful walk to work as the women kissed their husbands goodbye. It’s somehow sadder and more moving seeing the preceding moments than the chaos of the explosion.
In choosing emotion over action in this instance, Godless asserts its priorities. In its worldview, there should be things that matter more than money or power. (Remember that the school in La Belle was only established after the brothel ran out of customers.) After Alice teaches Roy to read, he finally opens a letter his brother wrote him many years ago. “I’ve learned that life is a gift we are given, and we should live it with honor, and, God willing, leave something of our best selves behind,” his brother writes. “I know now that money matters only to the man with the small mind. The harder thing is to do the best one can with what one has. I learned these words and thoughts from reading, something I should have learned how to do a long time ago. … The truth is, books have taught me that I am not at all the man I could have been. But I want to try.” The true battle, Godless argues, isn’t for wealth. It’s education and self-improvement that can change the world, and leave the deepest impact.
If it were just a stylish, cinematic revival of a Western, Godless would be worthwhile. Its production values are extraordinary, and the camera’s epic sweeps along vast vistas capture the beauty of the American landscape like nothing else on television. It recalls the fear and heartbreak embedded in the frontier, as well as the bravery of many of the men and women who ventured there. But it does all this while challenging the notion of the Old West as an embodiment of American values. The conquest of the wilderness, it argues, was built on blood and cruelty. The mythologizing of the rugged individualists and gun-toting outlaws in the genre has led to darker stains on the American psyche that still persist. But it proves that truer stories can be told—ones that capture the allure of what brought so many westward in the the first place, while more honestly portraying history.

Urban Sprawl (Tim Sproul, Conservationist)
Director of the Harrison County Conservation Board, Tim Sproul shares some thoughts on economic development.
Transcript: Urban Sprawl
It's education. It's people moving from the urban environment to a rural environment not knowing what they're getting into. They move because somebody was shot down the street and they want out of the city. They move because they've read all this stuff about this unique environment, this national treasure and they want a little piece of it. They move because they never knew anything except concrete and they want their children to experience the out of doors. None of those are wrong. But it is wrong for people to come to the rural environment and complain about their neighbor's cattle. The cattle were there before they came. The cattle were part of the working landscape. So, when you move to the rural environment, I guess you should expect perhaps to smell a cow.

Just like the X-Men, mutations endow cancer cells with unique abilities that normal, healthy cells just don’t have. For example, cancer cells, unlike normal ones, can invade other cells, causing the disease to metastasize to new tissues in the body and put the patient’s life further at risk.
If you’ve ever felt like your life’s turned on its head, be thankful that you’re not this little embryo—which turns itself inside out.
Clams are threatened by predators who love seeing them served up on a plate drenched in butter and garlic, nestled in folds of fresh pasta–or splattered on a dock, if you happen to be a seagull. But a much more insidious threat to clams has emerged, in the form of cancer cells floating through the ocean.

It seems like Carrie Fi sher
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker director J.J. Abrams sat down for an interview with Stephen Colbert on Monday night’s (November 25) The Late Show and dished about Carrie‘s lasting impact on the Star Wars films. And it turns out, she somehow knew plenty more than he did about her iconic character Leia’s journey.
Stephen asked Abrams about the fact that he read somewhere that George Lucas had originally intended the third series of Star Wars films to be Leia’s story.
“She was the greatest,” said Abrams about the late Fisher. “And we knew that there was no way that we could finish this Skywalker saga without Leia. It was impossible. And we knew we’d never want to do a digital Leia and of course couldn’t recast it.”
“I remembered we had these scenes that we had shot in The Force Awakens that we’d never used, which at the time I was really upset that we weren’t using them because it was Carrie and it was Leia and how do you not use them? But it just didn’t work in the movie. And weirdly, those scenes were material that we 100 percent realized that could be used to tell her story in this film,” J.J. continued. “So every time you’re seeing Leia in scenes with characters it’s Carrie in this movie. And I still can’t quite believe that she’s gone, because we’ve been working on these scenes in editorial and she’s as there as anyone. It’s really uncanny.”
Oddly, Carrie Fisher left a message in her book, “The Princess Diarist,” for Abrams before she passed away: “I wasn’t supposed to work on this film, and she passed away before The Last Jedi was released, and she wrote this book,” he said. “She thanked me at the very end, she says, ‘Special thanks to J.J. Abrams, for putting up with me twice.’ And I had never worked with her before The Force Awakens and I wasn’t supposed to direct Episode IX.”
Lastly, Stephen asked J.J. Abrams to identify which Star Wars theories are true and which are rubbish – Watch after the cut!

I'm currently looking at the carto framework and the way it is used by
the openib btl. Looking at the code, I found this :
1963 if(min_distance < 0 || min_distance < distance)
1964 min_distance = distance;
in the function:
1920 static int get_ib_dev_distance(struct ibv_device *dev)
In this function, we seem to be computing distances between a given IB
card and the processors included in our affinity. I don't know which
strategy would be best here (i.e getting the min or the max), but I
think we should either rename min_distance to max_distance or replace
the "<" sign by ">".
Moreover this function is used later in the function:
1984 sort_devs_by_distance(struct ibv_device **ib_devs, int count)
to make an array of IB devices ascending sorted.

diagram for the fuse box in the trunk of a 1995 c280
There are two types of pole-mounted fuse. One type is a high-voltage fuse, intended to protect the transformer. The other type is a low-voltage fuse, intended to protect the cable or line supplied by the secondary winding of that transformer. The current ratings of these fuses depend entirely on the current ratings of the devices they are there to protect.
Fuses protect circuit componentsNothing
the fuses are in the boot on the left side
Most of the fuses in the 1995. The Buick Skylark have a rating of either 20 amps or 30 amps. The fuse ratings, can be found on the fuse box cover.
fuses are there to protect the wiring putting in a larger fuse is potentially dangerous could cause a fire
Are you sure you do not mean AGC? AGC stands for Automotive Glass Cartridge (Fuse). AGC fuses are fast acting fuses that will blown very quickly to protect components.
Fuses are there to protect the wiring within the circuit from overheating and catching on fire. The fuse blows and stops the flow of electrons thus preventing the wires from getting so hot they catch fire. The fuse is not there to protect things plugged into the circuit.
If the boot will not open, and it is the "electric boot".... Firstly, try to wash the windscreen using the washers. It is the same fuse. If the washers work, the chances are that the fuse is not blown. The fuse can be found thus: Open the bonnet. Next to the battery (on the right as you look into the engine compartment) is a large black cover. Open it up, you will need a screwdriver to gently release the clips, to see the fuse box. In the fuse box are many fuses, and at the bottom of the box, closest to you, are two fuses. The red one is the boot/washers. It can be the left or right one, as different cars have it on different sides. Alternatively come to where I work, and I will change the fuse for free, because I am nice like that.
You can touch one with it on. Fuses are fuses... they have a plastic outer shell to protect them, and if you touch that, it's not going to hurt anything.
If you have a short in an appliance or wiring, the fuse will blow to keep a fire from starting in your wiring.
gG FUSES IS FAST ACTING BUT THE mA FUSES ARE TIME DELAY FUSES
There is no such thing as fuses are rated in amps, not volts. a 10 amp fuse will protect against anything over 10 amps regardless of the voltage used.
No, fuse box fuses are of the screw in type. Plug in fuses are of a cartridge style that plug into the fuse holder which supports the fuse on either end of the cartridge.
"Main fuse"? Fuses are located in the under hood fuse box."Main fuse"? Fuses are located in the under hood fuse box.
on my Mercedes c180 2002 the spare fuses are found with the spare wheel in the boot in a tool kit.
The fuse box is found in the trunk ( boot ) next to the battery on the right side. A carpet covered board needs to be removed to see the fuses. The board contains spare fuses and a little tool for removing the blow fuse.
Yes, but it's usual to have fuses on both sides of the transformer.
All fuses and relays are in the underhood fuse box.All fuses and relays are in the underhood fuse box.
Fuses protect a circuit. The battery and charging system provide power.
hi have you checked that it is not the bulb that has gone?, how about other systems in the car, do they all work?, check all fuses in the fuse panel, you will easily know if a fuse has blown as the thin metal in the centre of the fuse will be black and snapped, also fuses are typically linked to more than one system, so you would notice quickly if 1 had blown, hope that helps
The plural for fuse is simply fuses.
The Ford F2 50 trailer wiring fuse will be one of the auxiliary fuses in the fuse box. The auxiliary fuses will be the last four fuses in the second column.
The 1996 Mitsubishi headlight fuses are in the fuse box. The fuse box is in the engine compartment. There are two separate fuses for the headlights. The location of the fuses can be found on the inside cover of the fuse box.

Rock’n’roll blues group, Billy Walton Band today released their second single, “Cortez The Killer” from their forthcoming album Dark Hour which is due out later in 2020. Released on Harmonized Records, the album was recorded at Cambridge Sound Studio and was engineered by Grammy-nominated engineer Jim Salamone. This is a cover of Neil Young’s 1975 song of the same name.
American Songwriter exclusively premiered “Cortez The Killer” and praised the musicianship of the band saying, “Billy Walton’s fiery fretboard wizardry shines through on his version of the Neil Young classic “Cortez The Killer,” an epic cover taken from the band’s upcoming release Dark Hour.”
In “Cortez The Killer” Billy and his band share their take on the Neil Young classic, adding their own spin musically and instrumentally. Taking the guitar solos and adding a wah-wah effect and introducing a trumpet towards the end brings “Cortez The Killer” to a new and more modern level. Speaking to American Songwriter on adding in the trumpet Billy Walton says, “To me using the trumpet at the end symbolized and painted the picture of Cortez charging across the ocean and conquering the Aztec. Our trumpet player, Bruce Krywinski Jr. really nailed the haunting sound I was looking for in the song. I just really thought it set the mood in the end.”
With a new album on the way, and though unable to tour to support its release, Billy Walton Band has been interacting with fans through social media by posting live performances, clips of them jamming, and talking directly to them about what the band is up to.

So what’s a typical day like assisting Joe McNally? First things first. When you’re a photographer’s assistant, especially for someone like Joe, “typical” goes right out the door.
To start, here’s a bit of the back story:
While I was in school for my undergrad, I was lucky enough to get a summer internship with Joe. In retrospect, I can confidently say that I learned more in those three months than in my entire college education. Now, people ask me all the time how I pulled off an internship with such a person, and my answer really comes down to persistence. I had seen a presentation of Joe’s at the Maine Photographic Workshops, really loved his work and became a fan.
Communication Arts Magazine puts out a great photo annual each year, and lists the contact info for everyone who makes it in… So that next summer, when browsing through, I saw a photo of Joe’s, called the studio, interviewed, and

Porcupine Tree were an English rock band formed by musician Steven Wilson in 1987. The band began essentially as a solo project for Wilson, who created all of the band's music. However, by 1993, Wilson desired to work in a band environment, and so brought on frequent collaborators Richard Barbieri on keyboards, Colin Edwin on bass and Chris Maitland on drums as permanent band members. With Wilson still in charge of guitar and lead vocals, this would remain the lineup until 2001, when the band recruited Gavin Harrison to replace Maitland on drums.
