Carla asks how Samuel envisions his future (“I see my future with you,” he replies), while Carla refuses to answer why she asked about the future, opting instead to take off an item of clothing or drink. So they head over to Samuel’s apartment, where they play a sexy mashup of Truth or Dare and a drinking game. He make her a deal: He won’t try to convince her to stay, and she’ll end up telling him to ask her to stay.Įlite Short Stories: Can Nadia and Guzman Survive Long-Distance Love?Įlite Season 4 Trailer: New Students Bring Temptation and Danger Then when her flight is delayed by seven hours, Samuel talks her into spending them with him.

When he finds Carla at her gate, he tries to convince her to stay and try at a relationship again, but Carla is not swayed by his so-called romantic gesture and says he better be gone when she comes out of the restroom. Like a scene out of a rom-com, Samuel rushes to the airport and tries (and fails) to get the guard to let him through security without a boarding pass - “This is the airport, not the set of a Julia Roberts movie,” the guard scoffs - so Samuel buys the cheapest plane ticket available (which is still 400 Euros). But that doesn’t stop Samu from attempting to win back Carla before she departs for London in a short story released on Thursday, ahead of Season 4’s premiere on Friday.

Elements of Carla’s Style Dainty Earrings Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s break down this malevolent marchioness’ style in greater detail. While this detail may seem trivial, it seems that with this transition to icy blonde, Carla is starting to live up to her ice-queen persona. Eagle-eyed fans will also notice that her hair has changed since Marina’s death, going from honey-blonde to a more silver tone. While both girls have distinct femininity to their looks, in season 2, Carla’s outfits become increasingly edgy as the plot progresses. Her wardrobe consists primarily of designer pieces with luxe details, like the pearl brooches she wears to accessorize her school uniform.

Key points include campus testing protocols, the option for students to experience the full semester online, protocols for campus residence halls, and previously announced plans to limit classroom capacity and require students to complete the fall semester remotely after the Thanksgiving break. The plan, “Protect Texas Together,” was built with flexibility in mind for students, faculty members, staff members and visitors, in the event of significant changes in public health conditions.

The concepts of acceptance and rejection are not unique to migration. This piece was initially created to be used as an interactive tool in bringing the plight of migrants to the wider audience, but in the process it highlighted the fact that the bureaucratic decision-making processes affect all of us. I still remember the trepidation of uncertainty about what ‘decision’ it would make for me. ‘I will tell you.' plays on a memory of seemingly innocent paper fortune teller, a game that I played as a child. This is heightened by the idea of chance. The comment on the nature of the processes to which we are often exposed, the difficulty that it creates in seeing the human and feeling human. ![]() ![]() ‘Your fate is sealed’ is one example of this – the idea of a stamp as a symbol of dehumanised, mechanical, faceless, self-perpetuating processes that lead to one of the only two possible outcomes – yes or no.Īustere ‘office’ set up, a suit which symbolised 'Faceless Decision Maker' and the pocket squares with only partially visible text, highlight the ideas of a bureaucratic, emotionless procedural system designed to reveal at each stage only a part of the journey, and to absolve anyone serving that system of the guilt of prejudice, lack of compassion and most of all, responsibility for the decisions that affect the lives of others. I am especially interested in how the symbols of power can be translated into a visual metaphor. Latent they might be, but they have a power of singling out 'The Other' almost as if they were burnt into their cheeks and their foreheads. It is this invisible, hidden attitudes that act as branding irons within our society and we deny them, hide them behind our overt empathy and yet they are there, undeniable. More latent in its form, from a stamp in the passport, to carefully managed mediated messages that affect our perception and foster suspicion of those less fortunate, those with different skin colour or accent, living on the streets or from less privileged backgrounds. Works such as ‘I dub thee…’ - oversized hot branding irons, create a discord between their simple logo-like aesthetics and the historical associations with violence of slave branding which we frequently do not consider as present in that bureaucratic, faceless system which possesses the power to accept or deny. ![]() A migrant myself, having been through a stressful experience of being assessed at the border for my suitability to enter Britain, I could not but respond with anger. Inspired initially by the idea of ‘processing’ migrants on decommissioned oil rigs, and by Franz Kafka’s writings, it explores the idea of how visible symbols and language play a role in a deeper emotional and intellectual engagement with the concept of ‘the other’. Faceless Decision Makers is a large body of work that considers how language, and visible as well as latent symbols of bureaucracy, establish inhuman barricades behind which hides our privileged status quo. ![]() ![]() In later decades, however, Pluto’s planetary status became increasingly questioned by astronomers who noted that its tiny size, unusual orbital characteristics, and composition of ice and rock made it an anomaly among the other recognized planets. So also, at first, appeared to be the case for Pluto when, during a concerted search for a ninth planet, it was observed in 1930 as a seemingly lone object beyond the orbit of Neptune. When the giant bodies Uranus and Neptune were discovered in 17, respectively, their obvious kinship with the other known planets left little question regarding their addition to the planetary ranks. After the idea of an Earth-centred cosmos was dispelled ( see Copernican system) and more distinctions were made about the nature and movement of objects in the sky, the term planet was reserved only for those larger bodies that orbited the Sun. These included the Sun and Earth’s Moon, as well as the five planets in the modern sense-Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn-that were readily visible as celestial wanderers before the invention of the telescope. ![]() Ancient sky gazers applied the term planet to the seven celestial bodies that were observed to move appreciably against the background of the apparently fixed stars. The idea of what exactly constitutes a planet of the solar system has been traditionally the product of historical and cultural consensus. At that time astronomers confirmed that other stars have objects that appear to be planets in orbit around them. Until the close of the 20th century, the only planets to be recognized were components of Earth’s solar system. Pluto also was listed as a planet until 2006. As the term is applied to bodies in Earth’s solar system, the International Astronomical Union (IAU), which is charged by the scientific community with classifying astronomical objects, lists eight planets orbiting the Sun in order of increasing distance, they are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. In addition to the above description, some scientists impose additional constraints regarding characteristics such as size (e.g., the object should be more than about 1,000 km across, or a little larger than the largest known asteroid, Ceres), shape (it should be large enough to have been squeezed by its own gravity into a sphere-i.e., roughly 700 km across, depending on its density), or mass (it must have a mass insufficient for its core to have experienced even temporary nuclear fusion). Planet, (from Greek planētes, “wanderers”), broadly, any relatively large natural body that revolves in an orbit around the Sun or around some other star and that is not radiating energy from internal nuclear fusion reactions.

Astronomers have found that the further from us a star is, the more its light is red-shifted. Near the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, the city last fall banned right turns at 50 signalized intersections in its downtown core.” This statement is explained by Doppler Effect. The city of Berkeley in California is considering banning right on red at all intersections. Already, the state of Hawaii has prohibited them on a tourist-dense stretch of road in Honolulu. ![]() Some states and cities are ending the practice: “Washington, D.C., will end most right-on-red turns by 2025.

Turning right on a red light may seem like an age-old tradition, but as Erika Bolstad explains in Stateline, the practice was primarily motivated by the oil embargo of the 1970s, when it was seen as a conservation measure.

If there is a primary school student or person with disabilities in the household, the gross and per capita income ceilings are raised to S$3,400 and S$900 respectively.

Compared with the existing schemes, it will have a simplified application process and more flexibility in the choice of device and broadband connectivity, said the Ministry of Communications and Information (MCI). But for some, connectivity can still feel costly," she will take effect from Apr 3. "One group we remain concerned about are lower-income households. For most households, digital connectivity has become as essential as water and electricity. Mrs Teo said that currently, 92 per cent of households in Singapore have access to a computer, and 98 per cent have broadband. SINGAPORE: A new scheme will provide 60,000 low-income Singaporean families with subsidised broadband and laptops or tablets, Minister for Communications and Information Josephine Teo said in Parliament on Tuesday (Feb 28).Ībout S$80 million has been set aside over the next four years to fund the scheme, which replaces the NEU PC Plus and Home Access schemes. More than 46,000 households have benefited from those two schemes since 2020. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s worth keeping this in mind when looking at our benchmark results, although I haven’t noticed any unfair performance advantage for AMD when looking at our data. AMD’s processors are only compatible with DDR5, so it’s possible this could cause a discrepancy in the benchmark results. I did unfortunately have to use DDR4 memory for competing Intel chips, as I only had access to a DDR4 Z790 motherboard during the testing process. Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H150i PRO RGB 360mm liquid cooler.Intel Motherboard: MSI Z790 Tomahawk Wi-Fi DDR4.AMD Motherboard: Gigabyte X670E Aorus Master.To ensure a fair test and to keep in line with testing for other processors, I ensured to use consistent components when possible. In order to delve deeper into the true performance potential of the Ryzen 7 7700X, I put it through a series of benchmark tests to check if the claims of AMD hold up. However, this will not be able to replace a powerful discrete GPU as it does not have the power to effectively run AAA games, and you will be wasting the potential of this processor if you don’t opt for another graphics card.īut on the bright side, the RDNA 2 integrated graphics card will ensure that your system stays operational if your dedicated graphics card happens to malfunction. The latest Ryzen 7 7700X chip also features RDNA 2 integrated graphics architecture, meaning that you won’t need a graphics card to get your system up and running. Thanks to the improved architecture, we are still able to see an improved generational multi-core performance, although it seems lacklustre in comparison to the 13th generation Intel Core i7-13700K, which features 16 cores and 24 threads, albeit with hybrid core technology. Looking back to the core count, it’s curious that AMD has chosen to stick with the same specs as the preceding Ryzen 7 5800X, although that seems to be a common theme among all of the processors from this latest series. Considering AMD previously struggled to achieve speeds above 5GHz, this is very impressive, even outpacing the previous generation Intel Core i9-12900K, which has a max turbo frequency of 5.2GHz. But the investment should ensure that your setup is viable for years to come, as well as provide a significant performance upgrade.ĪMD has chosen to use 8 cores and 16 threads in this CPU, and AMD claims that it has a max boost clock speed of 5.4GHz. However, since the new Ryzen processor requires an AM5 socket you will need to purchase a new motherboard, making this a costly endeavour. The former means that you will get the benefits of the latest memory standard, and the latter ensures your setup will be compatible with the fastest SSDs on the market. Moreover, Zen 4 has been futureproofed with support for both DDR5 RAM and PCIe 5.0. This means that AMD has been able to add in even more transistors, with the Ryzen 7 7700X packing in 6.57 billion transistors – a massive improvement over the 4.15 billion transistors on Zen 3 architecture. ![]() The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X processor is a part of the new Ryzen 7000 Series, so it comes built on the latest Zen 4 architecture, using TSMC’s 5nm process node. Powered by the latest Zen 4 architecture.The number of cores and threads ensures solid multi-core performance, and the support for DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 allows you to elevate your entire setup.īut is all this enough to get the Ryzen 7 7700X processor in our Best CPU and Best Gaming CPU lists? Here is what I thought. While the Ryzen 7 7700X processor doesn’t top the charts in the latest Ryzen 7000 Series – with those places going to the supremely powerful Ryzen 9 7900X and Ryzen 9 7950X, as well as the new 3D V-Cache chips – it still sits comfortably as one of the best processors for gaming with a price of £349/$349.99. If the Ryzen 9 7900X is a little too expensive for you, this processor is the next best thing. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X comes in as the upper-midrange choice within the new Ryzen 7000 desktop processor series. Support for DDR5 and PCle 5.0 Since this CPU supports the latest technology, it will be able to raise the ceiling of your entire system.8 cores and 16 threads Packs 8 cores and 16 threads, making it ideal for multi-core performance.Zen 4 architecture Features AMD’s latest Zen 4 architecture, which offers a big performance jump over its predecessor. ![]() |
