The Italian design duo, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, contracted with perfumer Olivier Cresp to develop a fragrance inspired by Sicily. These fragrances have been launched with photoshoots rather than with traditional advertising campaigns and have featured the same male and female models as the original scents. Starting in 2012, limited-edition versions for women and men have been released periodically. The men's version (Light Blue Pour Homme) was released in 2007 and has also won awards, including the FiFi Awards in 2008. Light Blue is a fragrance line by Italian fashion designers Dolce & Gabbana which was launched in 2001 and has won numerous fragrance-industry awards.

If you love grapefruit, I’d say it’s a must own. This is a summer fragrance that is at least worth a try. I mean, I pick up grapefruit for most of the wear, but I liked that initial weighting much more than the middle and ending. I do wish that grapefruit opening would stick around for a longer while. It’s weaker than Eau Intense, but about right in line with Light Blue Sun. I wouldn’t really complain about it, if I purchased a full bottle. The performance isn’t spectacular, but it’s good enough for one of these sorts of summer fragrances. With the remaining citrus, it can come across as somewhat sour. Either way, that’s what you should expect a lot of the dry down to be about. For others, the vetiver woodsy freshness might pop out more. On my skin, I get more of the violet leaf note. That first hour especially, is really great stuff.įorever Pour Homme will change things up, however. The grapefruit opening is super juicy, fresh, and hyper-realistic. That being said, even with those two caveats, I did like this cologne. Again, I’m not a massive grapefruit fan and violet leaf isn’t a note that I particularly care for either. Overall, do I like Light Blue Forever? I do enjoy it quite a bit. Overall Impressions of Light Blue Forever Casual, daily wear, and maybe nightlife (if you don’t want to wear a beast). Light Blue Forever has a mass appealing scent and should be able to draw plenty of complements from passersby. It’s well put together and appropriate for men of all age groups. Generally speaking, most folks will be using it for the summer. If you live in a warmer climate, you should be able to break this out in the spring and early autumn as well. The performance is a weakness here, though, it’s isn’t terrible. It is still there, I just don’t notice it all that often. That being said, most of what you’re going to pick up will be in the first couple of hours. Though, with this sort of citrus based cologne, that’s pretty much to be expected.Īs a weaker skin scent, it’ll hang around for just over 7 hours, on my skin. It projects in that 4-6 foot range, initially, with a normal amount of application. The early stages do give you a strong blast, but it dries down into a much lighter fragrance. The sillage here is pretty moderate, as a whole. It’s a fairly simple wear from Dolce & Gabbana. That’s about all of the development that I get with Forever Pour Homme. Once the grapefruit calms down, the violet leaf and vetiver have a much stronger influence and the cologne seems to be split between these three notes (and the general ozonic accord) fairly equally. Light Blue Forever is extremely bright and uplifting, one to reach for if you love clean scents. While the grapefruit dominates the composition, you will also pick up some cleanliness from the white musk and woodsy freshness from the Indonesian vetiver. In the dry down, it leans much more green than anything aquatic. Light Blue Forever is more of a ‘blue-ish green’ cologne, in the early stages, when compared to the others in this series. So, the very opening is going to be a blast of the big juicy citrus, with a breezy/watery ozonic accord, and violet leaf. I like the smell of grapefruit (hate the taste), but it’s not something that I absolutely love. Now, if you don’t particularly enjoy that scent, this is one that you should avoid. People aren’t exaggerating, it really does smell like a freshly cut grapefruit. Notes include: grapefruit, violet leaf, white musk, vetiver, ozonic accordĬlick here to try: Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Forever for Men by Dolce & Gabbana Eau De Parfum,3.3 Fl Ozįrom D&G: A bold new expression of freshness, Light Blue Forever Pour Homme blends intensity and delicateness to create a scent that is both generous and addictive.Īll that I’ve been hearing about Forever, is just how realistic the grapefruit note is in this fragrance.

![]() A Synapse Data Warehouse or Fabric Warehouse provides a ‘traditional’ data warehouse and supports the full transactional T-SQL capabilities you would expect from an enterprise data warehouse. Each Lakehouse automatically includes a SQL Endpoint to enable data engineers to access a relational layer on top of physical data in the Lakehouse, thanks to automatic schema discovery. Still stuck at 100 MB/sec throughput on the log file though, and even worse, it maxes out at 130MB/sec across the entire pool.Ĩ:49AM: From the new documentation: Fabric Data Warehouse “provides two distinct data warehousing experiences.

This year, it’s a hybrid event, both in-person in Seattle and online. I’ve never attended Build in person before because the data part of the event tends to be fairly thin, and the releases for Azure SQL DB and SQL Server aren’t usually tied to Build’s dates. Goooood morning, party people! Today is the opening day of the annual Microsoft Build conference, an event focused on people like developers and power users who build things with Microsoft tools. ![]() The goods produced and wealth accumulated are, in theory, shared equally by all. Instead the government directs all economic production. ![]() Private ownership of property and business is not allowed. Leaders are selected by top party members. In a communist government, a single political party, the Communist Party, controls nearly all aspects of society. The Soviet Union operated under a communist government. citizens are guaranteed personal liberties such as freedom of speech and freedom to worship. In a capitalist economy, property and businesses are privately owned and are operated with relatively little government interference. In a democratic government, leaders are elected by a vote of the general population. The United States operates under a democratic form of government and has a capitalist economy. Behind their suspicion of each other lay unreconcilable differences in political and economic philosophy. The United States and the Soviet Union emerged from World War II as the world's superpowers. Putting all the information together, intelligence agencies attempted to determine immediate and future threats. Governments used spies who operated in the shadows to intercept enemy communications and learn about weapons strength, military movements, and potential targets. In the Cold War, there was no established war zone, only regional flare-ups. In the two world wars, armies fought on battle fields and oceans and in the sky, in plain sight of one another. The weapons of conflict were commonly words of propaganda and threats. The Cold War was a prolonged conflict for world dominance from 1945 to 1991 between the two superpowers, the democratic, capitalist United States and the communist Soviet Union. This expansion coincided with the beginning of the Cold War. Code breaking, spy rings (a group of spies working together to achieve their goal), and espionage organizations supported by various governments became essential in guiding policies and strategies during the 1930s and during World War II (1939–45).Īt the end of World War II, intelligence and counterintelligence organizations expanded rapidly. With the advent of World War I (1914–18), intelligence-gathering grew in importance. There, as few as a thousand spies collected military intelligence on neighboring countries. Yet even by the beginning of the twentieth century, the only important intelligence operations were located on the European continent. In the United States, intelligence-gathering occurred as early as the American Revolution (1775–83) and during the Civil War (1861–65). Historically it involved daring, adventure-seeking individuals who spied on nearby enemies, then informed their leaders of enemy activity. Spying is considered one of the oldest professions, dating to biblical times. military documents and passing them to Soviet intelligence agents, he or she would be considered a mole. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was also secretly stealing U.S. For example, if an agent employed by the U.S. ![]() Quietly they funnel top-secret information to the enemy. Moles are double agents who betray the agency they work for. The counterintelligence departments of intelligence agencies are always on the lookout for moles. Counterintelligence or counterespionage involves protecting a country and its agencies from spy activities carried out by enemies. Hence, agencies that gather such information are called intelligence-gathering agencies. The acquired information is called intelligence. Garthoff describes the espionage game in his book A Journey through the Cold War.Įspionage, or more simply, spying, is the gathering and analyzing of information about enemies or potential enemies. Espionage generates its own rules." This is how Soviet affairs expert and former U.S. It violates international law and normal codes of civilized conduct, and yet it is virtually universal because it is considered a matter of vital national importance to states.

Only the second is of primary importance for programmers and code: We have two scenarios for our magic basic values. The less known, less clear, and more confused the reader is, the more "magic" the basic value is. Therefore, we identify magic numbers by measuring the ability of a code reader to know, be clear, and understand the meaning and purpose of a basic value from its surrounding context. A basic value is not magic when its semantic meaning or purpose-of-being-there is quickly and easily known, clear, and understood (not confusing) from the surround context without special helper words (e.g. What do we mean by "magic"? To be precise: By "magic", we intend to point to the semantics (meaning or purpose) of the value in the context of our code that it is unknown, unknowable, unclear, or confusing. The issue is not the data type, but the "magic" aspect of the value as it appears in our code text. ![]() Basic values are manifest entities such as integers, reals, doubles, floats, dates, strings, booleans, characters, and so on. "Create a constant, name it after the meaning, and replace the number with it." - Martin Fowlerįirst, magic numbers are not just numbers. Semantic: The meaning or purpose of a thing. Symbolic Constant -> Provides both correct semantic and correct context for use Also, everything only defined within 1 function might be acceptable, but that depends on Context. SmtpClient.DefaultPort = 25 or TCPPacketSize = whatever (not sure if that is standardized). Places where Magic Numbers are appropriate is everything that is defined through a standard, i.e. That's why it's best to have such ambiguous and arbitrary numbers in exactly 1 place - " const int NumOrdersToDisplay = 50", because that makes the code more readable (" if a < NumOrdersToDisplay", it also means you only need to change it in 1 well defined place. " if a < 50 then bla" - if you encounter that in the middle of a complicated function, other developers who are not familiar with the code may ask themselves "WTF is 50?" your Session.Timeout = 50 call, which is also set to 25 and users start reporting too frequent timeouts).Īlso, the code can be hard to understand, i.e. Find/Replace may not work, because 50 may be used for other things, and blindly replacing 50 with 25 can have some other bad side effects (i.e. Now, what happens when someone decides to change 50 to 25? or 75? or 153? You now have to replace the 50 in all the places, and you are very likely to miss it. Now, what you do is you have the 50 in different places - your SQL script ( SELECT TOP 50 * FROM orders), your Website (Your Last 50 Orders), your order login ( for (i = 0 i < 50 i++)) and possibly many other places. 50 is the Magic Number here, because it's not set through standard or convention, it's a number that you made up for reasons outlined in the spec. A Magic Number is a hard-coded value that may change at a later stage, but that can be therefore hard to update.įor example, let's say you have a Page that displays the last 50 Orders in a "Your Orders" Overview Page. |
