Earlier this year, Microsoft announced that it would be releasing new hardware to encourage more developers to start using and supporting the Arm version of Windows. Dubbed "Project Volterra," all we knew about it at the time was that it would use an unnamed Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and NVMe-based storage, that it would support at least two monitors, and that it would have a decent number of ports. Today, Microsoft is putting Volterra out into the world, complete with a snappy new name: the Windows Dev Kit 2023. The Dev Kit 2023 will use a Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3—essentially the same chip as the Microsoft SQ3 in the new 5G version of the Surface Pro 9 plus 512GB of storage and a whopping 32GB of RAM for the surprisingly low price of $599.We don't know exactly how fast the 8cx Gen 3 will be (Qualcomm says "up to 85 percent faster" CPU performance than the 8cx Gen 2, which would put it somewhere below but within spitting distance of modern Core i5 laptop CPU). But 512GB of storage and 32GB of memory should make the Dev Kit 2023 useful as a development and testing environment.Microsoft says the box can connect to up to three monitors simultaneously using its two USB-C ports and mini DisplayPort and that up to two of those displays can be 4K screens running at 60 Hz. Three USB-A ports, gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.1 round out the connectivity options. he Dev Kit 2023 continues Microsoft's effort to get the entire Windows development toolchain up and running natively on Arm hardware without the performance penalty imposed by x86-to-Arm code translation that Windows uses to maintain compatibility with the wider universe of Windows apps. Visual Studio, both old and new versions of the .NET Framework, the Visual C++ Runtime, and other Windows development software are all either available as Arm-native versions already or as Arm-native previews that will be generally released by the end of the year.The last officially sanctioned Arm PC for Windows developers is last year's $219 ECS LIVA QC170 (another name that rolls off the tongue). It was much cheaper than the Dev Kit 2023, but it was also a lot less powerful, with a weak Snapdragon 7c processor, just 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of slow eMMC storage. I've used the QC170, and it works, but it's not pleasant. In everyday use, the Dev Kit 2023 should at least feel like a modern midrange PC.

China's partial reopening has been met with an outpouring of joy and relief from citizens -- both the hundreds of millions isolated inside the country for the past three years and those overseas separated from their loved ones. Authorities announced Monday that starting January 8, China will drop quarantine requirements for all international arrivals, its most significant move yet in transitioning away from its stringent zero-Covid policy. The border remains largely closed to foreigners, apart from a limited number of business or family visits -- though the government signaled Monday this could loosen, too. For many Chinese nationals abroad, who have been unable to return or unwilling to endure the lengthy quarantine, the news meant they could finally go home -- a bittersweet victory after much sacrifice. "Finally, everybody can (live) their normal life," said one Chinese national living in New York, who hasn't been home for four years. She called the separation "very painful," saying several of her family members and the beloved pet dog she grew up with had died during that time. Her family "missed (my graduation). They missed so many things," she said. "And I also missed so many things for my family. All my friends, they got married during the pandemic. Even some of them had babies. I feel like I missed everything, I missed the most important points in their lives."May Ma, 28, has been unable to go home for nearly three years while living in South Korea. The worst thing about the quarantine requirements had been worrying about her grandparents' health, and not knowing if she'd be able to return in time to say goodbye if anything were to happen, she said. Throughout the pandemic, "the scariest thing was ... not knowing where the end is, not knowing when I can go back," she said. "I definitely feel very happy, I can finally see the end." Those within China are also celebrating and anticipating outbound travel. Most have not left the country for several years and are now flooding booking sites to plan long-awaited vacations. Online searches for outbound flights and overseas hotels jumped to a three-year peak on Trip.com, a Chinese travel booking website, according to company data. Searches for po[CENSORED]r destinations increased tenfold within half an hour of the announcement, with many people searching for outbound group tours during the Lunar New Year holiday season in late January, data shows. Macao, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand, South Korea, the United States and the United Kingdom were among the website's top 10 destinations with the fastest growth in search volume since the announcement. But the border relaxations have sparked concern among some as China fights its most severe wave of Covid infections since the pandemic began.

Rabat- The Israeli musical “El Boustane Sepharadi” by Yitzhak Navon will be presented on November 30 and December 1 at Mohammed V National Theater, Director General of Habima National Theater Noam Semel announced on Thursday. Semel described the play's presentation in Morocco as a “historic event,” emphasizing that “this is the first time that this musical is presented in an Arab Muslim country.” It is one of Israel's most famous theatrical works, depicting the life of a Sephardic Jewish neighborhood in Jerusalem in the early twentieth century, he said. Semel highlighted that the play’s presentation in Morocco is the manifestation of a dream he always had to bring Arab and Jewish cultures together through the presentation of his theatrical works. Twenty actors, singers, and dancers from the group “Habima” will travel to Morocco to present the musical, accompanied by a large media team from Israel. According to Semel, the event “will be a new manifestation of the coexistence of Jewish and Arab cultures,” as well as “the beginning of an important theatrical exchange between the two countries.” The play is directed by Tzedi Tzarfati and performed by Tal Mousseri, Roni Daloumi, and Hanny Nahmias. It is based on Yitzhak Levy's Anthology of the Judeo-Spanish Liturgy and Book of Romances. The play's presentation is organized by the Friends of Moroccan Judaism Association, the Ministry of Youth, Culture, and Communication, and the Israeli Ministry of Regional Cooperation, in collaboration with the Israeli liaison office in Rabat. There are reportedly 2,200 Jews living in Morocco. In Israel, Moroccan Jews and Jews of Moroccan ancestry make up approximately 1 million of the country's 9.1 million po[CENSORED]tion. King Mohammed VI has emphasized the freedom to practice any religion in Morocco, “I protect Moroccan Jews as well as Christians from other countries, who are living in Morocco,” the king said. The King also recently introduced an initiative to restore hundreds of historical Jewish sites in Morocco. Morocco has strongly supported initiatives to strengthen ties with the Moroccan-Jewish community. The Council of Jewish Communities expressed its appreciation for Morocco's strong attachment to its Jewish diaspora.

What is the best vacuum cleaner you should buy, and how do you choose the correct type? Increased focus on hygiene and cleanliness in recent times has made the idea of the vacuum cleaner attractive once again. Interestingly, the vacuum cleaner itself is a very different product today from what it once was; it's no longer the bulky, clunky, and loud device that needs to be plugged in and strung along on a long power cable. Instead, modern vacuum cleaners slot into two po[CENSORED]r form factors today - cord-free handheld devices, and automated robotic cleaners. Both of these form factors take the best of what technology has to offer right now, and combine it with the age-old idea of sucking dirt and impurities into a bin. If you're looking for a new vacuum cleaner right now, you've likely considered either of these two options. In this guide, we'll try to help you figure out which of the two form factors suits you best, based on your usage and requirements. We've also recommended some options from leading brands in the segment, including Dyson, Xiaomi, Realme, and more. Key differences between robot and handheld vacuum cleaners The biggest and most important difference between robot and handheld vacuum cleaners is the way they are used; the former operates autonomously, while the latter has to be controlled and used by your hands. This means that robot cleaners are considerably easier to operate and don't involve much effort from the user, while handheld vacuum cleaners offer better accuracy and a more comprehensive cleaning, guided by a real person rather than a computer algorithm. Naturally, robot cleaners are limited to cleaning just the floor because of their form factor and size, while handheld devices can be used on furniture, table and counter tops, upholstery, and walls. However, most robot vacuum cleaners can also mop the floor, often simultaneously with vacuuming, which isn't something you can do with a handheld vacuum cleaner. How is a robot vacuum cleaner superior to a handheld device? As mentioned, the biggest advantage of a robot vacuum cleaner is that it functions autonomously. Most devices are controlled using a smartphone app, and connect to your home's Wi-Fi to receive the control commands and relay data such as cleaning statistics, map and location, and the condition of consumable parts such as brushes and air filters. You can also control the device by pressing the buttons on the robot itself; either way, the robot will navigate itself around all accessible areas of your home and clean in a predetermined pattern without any further intervention from the user. Many robot vacuum cleaners also store home maps, and can then be set to clean specific rooms, in a specific order, or a particular spot. You can also set no-go zones, virtual wall barriers for areas you don't want it to access, and more. Once fully set up, the device only needs to be started up, and you can go back to doing whatever you were doing without needing to monitor the robot. Many such devices also have the ability to mop, with water reservoir tanks and mop cloth attachments that allow the devices to both vacuum and mop simultaneously. This means a robot cleaner can offer a comprehensive floor cleaning solution, with little manual effort on the part of the user. How is a handheld vacuum cleaner superior to a robot device? Handheld vacuum cleaners slot into two general categories - corded and cord-free. The former, as the name suggests, must be connected to a power outlet to run and usually has a long cable to allow you to move around a room freely regardless of where the vacuum cleaner is plugged in. The latter has a built-in battery that allows it to be used wirelessly, making it much more convenient and easy to use. The portability of a cord-free handheld vacuum cleaner means that you can access most areas of your home quickly and easily, including upholstery, counter-tops, and other furniture. You can also use it to clean areas that may not have easy access to an electrical socket nearby, such as a car, balcony, or terrace. Handheld vacuum cleaners also have considerably more peak suction power than similarly priced robot devices. This, along with the precision that comes with a human operating the device, makes for much quicker and thorough cleaning. While a robot vacuum cleaner may take around an hour to fully clean a normal-sized urban apartment, a handheld vacuum cleaner in skilled hands could do the same job in a fraction of the time. All vacuum cleaners, whether handheld or robotic, require periodic maintenance. With robot devices, there are more moving parts, including the sweeping brushes, the main vacuum brush, and the dustbin, all of which need to be regularly cleaned out for the device to continue functioning effectively. If the robot also has mopping functionality, you'll have to regularly top up the water reservoir and wash the mop cloth as well. In comparison, most handheld devices are a lot easier to clean out; you usually only need to empty out the dustbin, which is designed to be a simple process. Since handheld devices usually don't have too many exposed moving parts, tangles and problematic jams happen less often, thus making these devices easier to maintain in the long run. Our top picks for robot vacuum cleaners Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P: The product that arguably po[CENSORED]rised the robot vacuum segment in India, the Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P offers excellent value for money at its current price of Rs. 20,000. You get vacuum cleaning, mopping, laser navigation, and an excellent app in the form of Mi Home, all of which works very well. Realme Techlife Robot Vacuum Cleaner: Much like the Xiaomi option, Realme's robot vacuum cleaner can also mop, works with the Realme Link app, has laser navigation and mapping, and works well for the most part. However, it is a bit buggy in function, and needs regular maintenance and care. iRobot Roomba i3+ and Braava Jet M6: Priced at Rs. 44,900 each, the iRobot Roomba i3+ only vacuums comes with the Clean Base automatic dirt disposal system, while the Braava Jet M6 only mops. Together, these two devices offer a comprehensive home cleaning solution, but are held back a bit by navigation issues, slow cleaning speed, and the high combined price of Rs. 90,000. 360 S7: Although a bit more expensive than options from Xiaomi and Realme at around Rs. 27,500, the 360 S7 is usually available on major e-commerce stores, has a very good app and laser navigation system, and offers both vacuuming and mopping functionality. While vacuuming is very effective, mopping is a bit basic because of the small mop fitting. ILife A10s: Priced at Rs. 34,900, the ILife A10s is a bit expensive compared to the competition, has some issues with navigation, and needs to vacuum and mop separately. However, it's very effective at cleaning, and has a useful remote which you can control the device with. Our top picks for handheld vacuum cleaners Dyson V11 Absolute Pro: Although expensive at Rs. 52,900, the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro is among the most powerful handheld vacuum cleaners you can buy right now. It comes with plenty of attachments, adding versatility and the ability to clean just about any household surface. Realme Techlife Handheld Vacuum Cleaner: Promising the same level of convenience as a Dyson, but at a fraction of the price, the Realme Techlife Handheld Vacuum Cleaner promises easy cord-free household cleaning with a decent range of attachments, priced at Rs. 7,499. Dyson Omni-glide: At Rs. 19,900, the Omni-glide is among Dyson's more affordable cord-free handheld vacuum cleaners, and is very light and easy to use. The omni-directional roller attachment allows for quick and easy manoeuvrability when cleaning floors. Kent Zoom Vacuum Cleaner: Similar in form, function, and pricing to the Realme handheld vacuum cleaner, the Kent Zoom has a HEPA filter and is said to run for around 30 minutes per full charge. It weighs around 3.15kg, making it easy to handle as well.

The 13th-Gen Intel $409 Core i7-13700K slots into the middle of Intel's Raptor Lake product stack (or at least its product stack as of late October 2022), delivering the lion's share of the gaming performance of its market-leading counterpart, the $589 Core i9-13900K, in tandem with more than enough horsepower in productivity workloads for most users — but for $180 less. It also easily outperforms the competing AMD Ryzen 7000 chip, making it one of the best CPUs for gaming and a chart-topper in our CPU benchmark hierarchy. The Core i7-13700K's performance stems from its 5.4 GHz boost clock, a record for the i7 family, and Intel's addition of four more e-cores, bringing the chip to 16 total cores and 24 threads. Even though Intel still uses the 'Intel 7' process node, it leveraged a newer revision of the silicon to push clock speeds higher while improving power efficiency. Intel also etched the cores on a new, larger die and added additional L3 and L2 cache.Intel's continued aggressive chip pricing and options for lower-priced platforms and memory make the Core i7-13700K a powerful, yet more affordable option: The Core i7-13700K is the best CPU for gaming at its price point and also offers leading performance in our application benchmarks at a significantly lower price than AMD's competing Ryzen 7 7700X, and it even challenges the $549 Ryzen 9 7900X in most work. Intel Core i7-13700K Specifications and Pricing Just like the previous-gen chips, the 13th-Gen Raptor Lake processors come with a mix of both big performance cores (p-cores) for latency-sensitive work and small efficiency cores (e-cores) for threaded and background applications. The e-cores stick with the same Gracemont architecture as before, but the p-cores move from the Golden Cove design to Raptor Cove. For much more on the architecture, check out our Intel Core i9-13900K and Core i5-13600K review. The 16-core, 24-thread $409 Core i7-13700K contends with the eight-core 16-thread $399 Ryzen 7 7700X. Intel bumped the 13700K's p-core boost frequency up by 400 MHz over its predecessor, bringing it up to 5.4 GHz. Intel also threw in an additional four e-cores for a total of eight, and a 400 MHz increase to the e-core boost brings it to 4.2 GHz. The combination of higher clocks and more cores delivers a sizeable leap forward in multi-threaded workloads. The Core i7-13700K has the same 125W Processor Base Power (PBP - the amount of power the chip pulls when it isn't in a fully boosted state) as the previous-gen Core i7-12700K. However, Intel increased the Maximum Turbo Power (MTP), the maximum amount of power the chip can draw when in a boosted state. The new 253W limit is a whopping 63W increase over the prior-gen Core i7-12700K (33% increase). Intel’s new chips are its most power-efficient yet. But like AMD, Intel has taken a power-be-damned approach to regain leadership, dialing up the power limits for all the desktop PC chips. The heat can be hard to control, so you’ll need to plan for a beefy chip cooler. Intel doesn’t include a cooler with the Core i7-12700K but recommends a 280mm AIO watercooler or air equivalent (or greater). Existing LGA 1700 coolers are compatible with the new motherboards. Bear in mind that your cooler's performance can significantly limit the chips' performance, so it's best to overprovision, especially if you plan on overclocking. On the flip side, you can now easily overclock to the highest clock rates we’ve ever seen, and that's even without using exotic cooling. For instance, we dialed in a 5.5 GHz all-core overclock with an AIO watercooler with the Core i7-13700K. Intel also increased the 13700K's L2 cache from 1.25MB to 2MB for each p-core and doubled the amount of L2 cache for each cluster of e-cores to 4MB. Intel also added 5MB of additional L3 cache. Intel has increased its DDR5 memory support up to 5600 MT/s if you use one DIMM per channel (1DPC), a big increase over the prior 4800 MT/s speed with Alder Lake. Just as importantly, Intel increased 2DPC speeds up to 4400 MT/s, an improvement over the previous-gen 3600 MT/s. Unlike AMD's all-in approach with DDR5, Raptor Lake also supports DDR4-3200 memory, ensuring a value option for Intel platforms. Raptor Lake drops in to motherboards with the LGA 1700 socket, so it will work with existing 600-series or new 700-series chipsets. Intel says that, on a like-for-like basis, you shouldn’t see any performance differences if you use a previous-gen 600-series motherboard for Raptor Lake. As usual, Intel has Z-series (Z790, in this case) motherboards available at first, with the value-centric B- and H-series coming when it launches the rest of the Raptor Lake lineup. The 700-series motherboards bring minor improvements over the 600-series, but Intel has increased the number of PCIe 4.0 lanes hanging off the chipset to 20, an increase of eight additional lanes, and support for one more USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 200Gps port, bringing the total to five. As before, the Raptor Lake chip itself supports 16 lanes of PCIe 5.0 and four PCIe 4.0 lanes for a storage device. We'll jump right to the benchmarks, but you can find the test setup particulars further below. Gaming Performance on Intel Core i7-13700K — The TLDR Below you can see the geometric mean of our gaming tests at 1080p and 1440p, with each resolution split into its own chart. Be aware that a different mix of game titles could yield somewhat different results (particularly with the Ryzen 7 5800X3D), but this serves as a solid overall indicator of gaming performance. We're testing with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 to reduce GPU-imposed bottlenecks as much as possible, and differences between test subjects will shrink with lesser cards or higher resolutions and fidelity. You'll find further game-by-game breakdowns below. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-core-i7-13700k-cpu-review

Many negative stigmas arise when mentioning Chinese products or counterfeit products from that country. Yep, negative narratives definitely emerge when looking at counterfeits. After all, imitating other successful products is nothing new. Not only four-wheeled vehicles, two-wheeled vehicles are also often targeted. The newest is in the scooter segment. Honda ADV150 replica, appeared in China. Well, the difference is, this KW model is actually built to be more sophisticated and faster than what is imitated.Carrying the name Dayang Vorela. Maybe not a cool name to hear, or at least less commonly painted as a species name two-wheeled. But you need to open yourself up to know this. Because, he looked serious. Not just stealing raw ideas. Yes, conceptually what ADV has: Skutik adventure theme. It should also be recognized that the body lines follow the Honda design direction. To the side of the panel near the footing, automatically the ADV 150 sticker. But at least, the body is made with several distinctive features. Plus, at first glance, it has a tasteful feel. It doesn't look cheap. For example, a large headlight that is applied. Made a la two eyes apart. While each of them has two more reflectors, creating an intimidating impression. Mature. And also beautified with the turn signal decoration and LED DRL on it. In fact, a vent was made right in the middle of the lamp divider.Not to forget installed a high windshield to hit the wind. And of course enriches the typical adventurous characteristics. And behind it sticks a sturdy and thick handlebar. Proportional to the shape. Then the side and back areas are no less interesting. Everything is formed completely sturdy. And the stoplamp design is quite beautiful to look at. In fact, sometimes it looks cuter and more compact than ADV. Although, the name tagging V groove seems a little too pushy. Regardless, the rest is fine. The black plastic framed reflects the high utility motor. Regarding the format of the legs, it seems similar. Use long travel telescopic forks, as well as dual shock breakers with tubes. Of course, the crossbar rims are also wrapped in dual purpose tires. Alias tread rough. The interesting part is in the furnace and kitchen runway. Just imagine, the instrument panel is fully digital with a color display. Not monotonous. Moreover, he has the ability to connect with smart phones. Translate entertainment things to navigation. Complete. Obviously the fundamental data is listed there, after all the tertiary ones already exist.Do not stop there, the screen also visualizes the front and rear lens capture. Yes, there is a camera on the muzzle of the motorbike as well as the tail. You can see it directly on the display. Including recording if at any time unwanted things happen. Like dashcam. Sophisticated right?Machine? Same use the one-cylinder 150 cc injection format. Also a SOHC type and only two valves. But the output touches 16.2 Hp at 8,500 rpm. This means a difference of 2 Hp from Honda's engine. This gap is far enough for the size of a scooter like this. And also importantly, the tank capacity is able to accommodate 9.3-liters of gasoline which means more than the ADV. Packages like this in China are sold for around Rp. 39 million (conversion). Interesting. Next, the trunk is so wide. The alcove behind the seat has a total volume of 28 liters and is elongated. Plus, there is a step, which functions to separate the placement of goods. The helmet will definitely fit in. Even some types of full face. And with that divider, you can easily store a few more essential tools for long trips. No need to stick with a helmet.Now talking about the capacity of the gasoline, it's also enough. The nozzle will continue to fill until the gas station dispenser shows the number 8 liters. When referring to Honda's fuel consumption claim (46.6 MPA), it should be able to cover a distance of 372.8 km.The deck distance to the ground of the ADV is quite high, 165 mm. Far above its competitors or siblings, who average 130 mm. Even though it is high, the muffler position is also bent upward. Which automatically minimizes the risk of water ingress. Yep, at least past a mound of dirt, high speed bumps, or a little puddle is resolved right?The suspension has long travel. The 31 mm diameter telescopic fork records a playing distance of up to 130 mm. And at the rear, two Showa suspensions are equipped with subtanks - separating oil and air. The quality of the damping is claimed to be moderate, in other words it is just right. Supports the agility of the eccentric scooter maneuvers.

By Jill Cowan As in any other year, teenage girls in California stepped out of salons, only to sit in front of mirrors at home carefully rearranging their coifs. They wore jewel-toned cocktail dresses and floor-skimming gowns. Some strapped themselves into rhinestone-encrusted heels, while others, planning for a night on their feet, stuck with Vans or Air Force 1s. Their dates wore white tuxedos, three-piece suits, corsages. In Fowler, a small city southeast of Fresno, there were cowboy boots and hats. Yet, unlike any other year, there were custom-made masks to match outfits. There were silent discos to encourage social distancing, as revelers donned headphones and danced to the beat, quite literally, of different drummers. Vaccine cards or coronavirus tests were required for entry. In Petaluma, dinner was prepacked sandwiches eaten picnic-style on the football field before the dancing started on the painted lines. The 2021 prom season has shown that American high school rites of passage are durable, flexible and pandemic-proof. Teenage traditions, like teenagers themselves, have a resilience. Somehow, the prom — that timeworn cliche of growing up — turned into something vital and emotional. Strict pandemic rules meant that most of California’s Class of 2021 spent roughly a year learning from home. As the spread of the virus has waned in California and around the country, proms — even those retooled with mask-wearing and other precautions — have served the twin function for many of celebrating both the end of high school and the end of the worst of the pandemic. Dancing on the track around the football field during prom at Petaluma High School. (Maggie Shannon/The New York Times) “For so long, I didn’t take advantage of all the moments I had in high school,” said Michelle Ibarra Simon, a senior at Dos Pueblos High School, in the Southern California city of Goleta. “COVID helped me see that I was letting time fly and letting every moment slip through my fingers.” Prom, she added, “was probably one of the best moments of my life.” Here are stories from a few high schools in California. Encore High School in Hesperia At first, no one was dancing at Encore’s prom. It was an unusual sight: Encore is a performing arts school, and some of the students are professionally trained dancers. “I don’t know,” senior Marco Gochez said. “They were getting shy or weird or uncomfortable.” Caroline Esquivel, Encore’s senior class president, theorized that perhaps her classmates were anxious after not being together in a group for so long. The school is in Hesperia, a desert city in San Bernardino County, but the prom was held at a banquet hall in Upland. Soon, after dinner was served, the mood changed. “It was like a giant mosh pit,” Esquivel said. “Everyone was so happy, jumping and screaming.” During Jennifer Lopez’s “On the Floor,” Esquivel and other members of her dance team got onto the stage and performed a competition routine in their finery. For Jaired Mason, who graduated from Encore in 2020, attending this year’s prom as his best friend’s date helped give him a sense of closure that he had been missing because of the pandemic. Encore hosted a small, restricted prom of about 30 people last year, he said, and Mason’s class graduated over Zoom. He postponed going to the prestigious Boston Conservatory at Berklee to study dance. proms, proms in the pandemic, enjoying prom in the pandemic, high school prom party, COVID-19 pandemic and proms, NYT, indian express news A group hug while dancing during prom at Fowler High School. (Maggie Shannon/The New York Times) The prom signaled an end to the uncertainty. “Especially after last night, I’m feeling really good and excited about the future,” he said the day after. And in the fall, his future is no longer postponed. He is headed to Boston. Dos Pueblos High School in Goleta Bill Woodard, principal of Dos Pueblos and the parent of a senior there, described the evening as magical. “I don’t use that word lightly,” he said. Woodard said Goleta, a suburban community near Santa Barbara, was sometimes mistakenly assumed to be uniformly wealthy and, thus, insulated from the ravages of the pandemic. “We had families that lost family members,” he said. “There was economic devastation. That all was swirling as we were planning our prom.” Initially, he said, nearby schools had hoped to host on-campus carnivals as a kind of substitute. But Dos Pueblos students wanted to do something off-campus, to make the event “as normal as possible,” he said. A connection at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum helped the school score a discount on the space, which is often a destination wedding venue. Flowers were donated, Woodard said, then reused at the school’s graduation days later. There was a Shirley Temple bar, karaoke and air hockey. Ibarra Simon, the senior, said she and her best friend made the silent disco not so silent when they started singing along to the Miley

And Saudi Arabia decided to fix gasoline prices at a specific ceiling, so that the maximum price is the one in force for the month of last June, provided that the decision enters into force as of today. The Saudi Press Agency, "SPA", said that gasoline prices for the month of July 2021 witnessed an increase, as the price of octane 91 gasoline reached 2.28 riyals per liter, and octane 95 gasoline, worth 2.44 riyals per liter, but it is not the prices that the consumer will pay. Saudi Arabia fixes gasoline price ceiling to ease living burdens Gasoline prices in Saudi Arabia .. Did Aramco announce it? These prices are higher than those set last June, by about 10 halalas per liter of 91 octane gasoline, and 11 halalas per liter of 59 octane gasoline. However, under the generous guidance of the Saudi leadership, the Kingdom decided to bear this increase, provided that the consumer pays at the old price set last June. Gasoline prices in Saudi Arabia for the month of July 2021 This means that gasoline prices for the month of June are the same as for the month of July, set at 2.18 riyals per liter / octane 91, and 2.33 riyals per liter / octane 95. The decision to "install the ceiling" Under the decision, the state will bear what may exceed the prices of the month of June when the monthly price review. This means that gasoline prices for the month of June, set at 2.18 riyals per liter / octane 91, and 2.33 riyals per liter / octane 95, will be the maximum prices for gasoline, and prices will not exceed that, and may even decrease. "SPA" said that the decision was taken by the Executive Committee for the Governance of Adjusting the Prices of Energy and Water Products, under a generous directive, based on the Saudi leadership's keenness to reduce the living burdens of citizens and residents, and its continuous endeavor to achieve the public interest and support local economic activity. The directive ensured that the state would bear what may exceed the prices of the month of June when the monthly price review. The agency said that the periodic review of prices continues, not exceeding the mentioned ceiling.

AMD's new series of high-end Threadripper processors could see a new entry in August according to recent rumors. According to the MoePC website, the Threadripper 5000 series, codenamed "Chagall" by AMD, is coming soon. But do not get too excited because they warn that the updates can be a bit disappointing compared to previous AMD Threadripper models. Even so, it must be clear that everything we comment on in this news comes from rumors and could be denied in the future. New AMD Threadripper is coming While the Threadripper 5000 processors are rumored to be based on the same Zen 3 architecture as AMD's latest Ryzen 5000 CPUs (or even an improved Zen 3+ architecture), it appears that there will be no major changes when it comes to the number of cores. in offer. The flagship model will offer 64 cores, along with rumors of a potential 16-core CPU also alongside possible 24-core and 32-core variants. AMD Threadripper 5000 processors are rumored to continue to support DDR4 memory, and the TDP (Thermal Design Power) will remain the same at 280W. They are also rumored to support existing TRX40 motherboards, meaning it will be one less component to upgrade if you want those new chips. Aside from the switch to the Zen 3 architecture, which will bring performance increases over third-generation Threadrippers, the new AMD Threadrippers 'Chagall' CPUs will have a higher Inter-Chip Global Memory Interconnect (xGMI) speed of 16 GT / s. 18 GT / s. these speeds put them on a par with AMD's EPYC 7003 series server chips. If these rumors are true, the new AMD Threadrippers may not be a big change due to the lack of support for DDR5 support. We would continue to notice some performance improvements, as long as these rumors are correct.

General Motors is recalling 410,019 pickup trucks from the 2015 and 2016 model years because the roof-rail airbag inflator end cap in them could detach from the inflator, or the inflator sidewall could rupture. According to a safety recall report filed with NHTSA, corrosion caused by moisture introduced during the supplier manufacturing process could occur inside the inflator vessel. If the end cap separates from the roof-rail airbag inflator or a sidewall rupture occurs, compressed gas could escape and the end cap could be propelled into the vehicle, potentially injuring the driver or passengers. GM says the supplier at the time of assembly was Key Safety Systems, now known as Joyson Safety Systems. The recall covers a range of pickup models: the 2015-16 GMC Sierra 1500, 2500 and 3500; and the 2015-16 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2500 and 3500. GM reports roof-rail airbag inflators ruptured in three unoccupied 2015 Silverado vehicles in mid-June 2021. In all three cases, the steel inflator-body sidewall "split open, suddenly releasing the gas stored inside the chamber." GM estimates it will notify owners by mail Aug. 16. The automaker says dealers will replace the left- and right-side roof-rail airbag modules free of charge. Owners will be getting a second notice when a remedy is available, GM said. It notified dealers July 1. A GM spokesman told Automotive News it is not aware of any accidents or injuries associated with the recall.

From the age of 40, our reserves of proteins, hormones, vitamins, minerals and trace elements suffer a significant decrease. Vitamin supplements are our companions throughout the different stages of our life. When we are young, they provide us with extra energy, vitality and nutrients that are important for our development. Then we focus more on getting vitamins and natural compounds for health. And for our more adult stage, we need a special supplement to help us keep our bones, body, memory and energy in good condition. Vitamin B12 is essential for the proper functioning of the brain and blood. As we get older, the body has more difficulty absorbing the food we eat, because our stomach acid levels decrease. This vitamin helps to fulfill this function, it is highlighted in the Better with Health portal. Calcium helps functions in our body such as muscle contraction, as well as the proper functioning of the heart and nerves. If you don't get enough calcium in your diet, the body will begin to extract it from the bones, leaving them weaker. You can find it in foods like dairy, sardines, tofu, almonds, spinach, and broccoli. Magnesium has multiple functions in the body, but its role in supporting bone health is the most important for women over 40. It works in building bones and balancing the concentration of certain hormones and vitamin D , all important in preventing bone weakening. You can find magnesium in almonds, broccoli, spinach, beans, dairy, and fortified cereals. Upon reaching 40, the joints should be protected, the supply of vitamin E should be improved, which will be the precursor of estrogens and will improve the menstrual cycle. We can achieve this by taking especially omega 3. Omega 3s also play a key role in maintaining memory and general brain function. Omega 3s can be obtained through two sources: Animals: From fish oil and krill oil. Vegetables: From plants such as flaxseed, chia seeds, hemp seeds and soybean oil, these fatty acids will also improve skin hydration. It is not always necessary, but many times it is advisable to resort to an extra supply of vitamin D. We can obtain it with foods enriched with it, as well as with supplements, which in addition to preserving the calcium content in the bones, will help to improve the mood and avoid depression, something that many women suffer after reaching 40 years, due to fatigue or stress from overwork and responsibilities. Vitamin D is easily obtained by exposure to sunlight and by consuming eggs and milk. This vitamin is essential for the absorption of calcium in the body, so it also has an important role for the development of the skeleton.

-In the study there was a cohort of around 10 million people, of which 4 million were vaccinated with the two doses. This Wednesday, the phase IV study of the Chinese Sinovac vaccine in Chile was published in The New England Journal of Medicine, one of the most prestigious journals in the world. The document indicates that the effectiveness of the biological among fully vaccinated people (two doses and more than fourteen days since its last application) was 65.9% for the prevention of COVID-19, while in 87.5% it avoided the hospitalization, in 90.3% it prevented admission to the intensive care unit and in 86.3% of a death related to COVID-19. The research was conducted from February 2 to May 1 of this year and had a cohort of approximately 10.2 million people, of which 4.1 million were already fully vaccinated and 542,418 had received a dose. "Our results suggest that the inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine effectively prevented COVID-19, including serious illness and death, a finding that is consistent with the results of phase 2 trials of the vaccine," it said. . The document states that it is estimated that the effectiveness of the vaccine among partially immunized people (14 to 28 days after receiving the first dose) was 15.5% for the prevention of COVID-19, 37.4% for the prevention of hospitalization, 44.7% for admission to the ICU and 45.7% for the prevention of death. "Overall, our results suggest that the CoronaVac vaccine was highly effective against serious illness, hospitalization, and death, findings that underscore the potential of this vaccine to save lives and substantially reduce demands on the healthcare system," it added. The researchers note that they lack representative data to estimate the effect of variants on the effectiveness of the vaccine.

“With this step, we are programming our organization for increased growth in China as the world’s largest automotive market. The key to success there is local value creation, which we are constantly increasing. Roughly one in ten Continental employees currently works in China, and they will be joined by a low triple-digit number of software and IT experts at our new development center by the end of 2021,” said Continental CEO Nikolai Setzer about the company’s latest strategic move. He added: “We are at the forefront when it comes to software, employing around 20,000 software and IT specialists worldwide and operating our own software academy. With the addition of Chongqing, we are further consolidating our global network of development centers and gaining even more expertise.” Without software, functions in modern vehicle concepts are unable to interact Vehicles of the future are intelligent and smart in that their components, systems and programs communicate with each other – constantly, quickly and securely. To do so, they must have a high degree of connectivity and automation, which is increasingly being made possible by versatile software applications. According to forecasts by a renowned consulting firm, global automotive software sales will multiply from $20 billion in 2019 to $50 billion in 2030 and China will be the largest market, accounting for around 34 percent of electronics and software revenue.

The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) on Thursday reported that Ukrainian law enforcement has pulled the plug on a clandestine cryptocurrency mining farm in the city of Vinnytsia. The perpetrators had set up camp in an old warehouse and stealthily tapped into the city's power grid to mine cryptocurrency. The Ukrainian authorities reportedly seized up to 5,000 pieces of hardware, including over 500 graphics cards, 50 processors and 3,800 PlayStation 4 (PS4) consoles, all of which are in short supply in the U.S. and beyond, as well as other tidbits. It's not surprising to see processors and graphics cards discovered, since they are required to power mining rigs. The PS4 consoles, however, seem to be out of place. Mining With PS4? The photographs showed an endless list of racks with PS4s that are apparently connected to the internet. While we've seen pictures of alleged PS4 mining setups before, there has never been any concrete evidence that you can actually mine cryptocurrency on a gaming console. Although, after seeing a DIY project with a Game Boy mining Bitcoin, anything is possible. And the fact that the Ukrainian miners had so many PS4s does suggest that they may have found a way to mine with them. There's a base level of compute performance associated with Ethereum mining. However, the bar is so low that the majority of graphics cards end up with more compute performance so memory bandwidth has a more prominent role. The PS4 features 8GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 5.5 Gbps. Across the 256-bit memory interface, the PS4 delivers a memory bandwidth up to 176 GBps. The Pro variant, on the other hand, has memory running at 6.8 Gbps, offering up to 217.6 GBps. For comparison, the Radeon RX 580, which is one of the best mining GPUs, has a memory throughput of 256 GBps. Hypothetically, the PS4 Pro could potentially come close to a Radeon RX 580 in Ethereum mining. Even if it is possible to mine with a gaming console, using a graphics card or ASIC would still be more efficient. Then again, the Ukrainian miners had put up bogus electricity meters and were stealing electricity, so efficiency probably wasn't on their agenda
