The works of Stephen King have inspired hundreds of movies and TV shows of varying quality, but few can match the raw energy of the first adaptation of his first novel. ![]() “The Banshees of Inisherin” offers McDonagh plenty of opportunities to flex the dark sense of humor that made him an indie household name, but it becomes something truly special due to its reflections on our mortality and our futile attempts to balance ambition with personal relationships during our brief moments on this Earth. The rift between the two friends quickly becomes a hot piece of gossip on the small isle where there’s little to do besides drink, and the dispute soon threatens to tear the community apart. After years of consistently meeting for a pint in the same pub at the same time every day, Gleeson’s artistically minded Colm Doherty realizes that he can no longer stand the company of his longtime drinking buddy Padraic Suilleabhain. Martin McDonagh’s Oscar-nominated black comedy reunites his “In Bruges” stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson for a characteristically bleak portrait of a friendship that’s seen better days. ![]() The film eschews the typical “alien invasion” cliches at every turn, instead telling a poignant story about the value of analog language in a rapidly evolving world that even manages to pull off a time-based twist that doesn’t make you cringe. ![]() Christopher Nolan took an ambitious swing at the concept with “Interstellar,” but nobody in recent memory has come closer to actually achieving the goal than Denis Villeneuve did with “Arrival.” His portrait of a linguist (Amy Adams) who attempts to document the nonlinear communication method of a new alien species that makes contact with earth.

As recently as 2012, college educated voters were pretty evenly split between the two parties. If you don’t have a college degree, you are now very likely to vote Republican. If you have a college degree, you are now very likely to vote Democratic. They’re going to get more attention paid to them by Congress.Īnd then the third thing that struck me was what we have seen, this continuing growth in the split between party affiliation by educational level. ![]() But youth voters are a growing segment of the voting bloc. Certainly something a lot of our colleges and universities are tracking in terms of civic engagement and in helping their students participate in the democratic process. And that, I think, is indicative of maybe there were some issues on the ballot that people were concerned about, particularly around the Dobbs decision and the decision around Roe, but also a growing impact of youth voters. It’s not a huge number when you think about it, 27 percent, but it’s the second-highest young voter turnout in a midterm since 2018. 27 percent of registered voters 18 to 24 voted this year. I know we’ll talk a little bit later about what that narrow margin means, but the second thing that stuck out to me was the role of youth voters. It’s a shock to everyone, certainly to Republicans who had big plans for what they would do in the majority. Total seats gained half of what the average is. We’re looking right now at Republicans taking 11, maybe 14, somewhere in that range. President Trump lost 39 seats in his first midterm, President Obama lost 69 seats in his first midterm, and President Clinton lost 60 in his first. Recently, that’s been even more pronounced in a midterm election. And there’s a lot of historic basis for that on average, the party in power loses 27 House seats and three Senate seats. There had been some thought the Senate Democrats would retain the Senate, but I think the question on the House side was always how big the red wave will be, how many seats Republicans would pick up. Jon Fansmith: I’ll start maybe and give you my three takeaways in terms of things that stuck out to me looking at what we saw.Īnd the first one is the obvious one, right? This was not what anyone expected. Terry Hartle: Hopefully some factual knowledge too. Terry Hartle: It certainly will be, and we’ll have plenty of opinions to share. ![]() This is one I think will be a lot of fun to talk about today, Terry. Today we’re going to dig into the midterm elections, what may or may not happen in the lame-duck session, and what to expect for higher education in the new Congress. I’m Jon Fansmith in Government Relations here at ACE, and I am joined as usually I am joined, by my esteemed colleague, Terry Hartle, ACE senior vice president for government and public affairs. Hello and welcome to today’s post-election Public Policy Pop-Up. As always, we appreciate your questions and suggestions for show ideas, and you can share those with us at That’s Now enjoy the conversation. In this episode of our monthly interactive recording, Terry Hartle joins me to talk about the recent midterm elections and what a narrowly divided Congress will mean for higher education policy this year and the next. I'll tell him what is a lame duck, and that is trying to get into Downing Street on the back of Alex Salmond’s coat tails, never mind talk of ducks, I am looking at Alex Salmond’s poodle.Jon Fansmith: Hello and welcome to dotEDU. It's a real wild card in the House whether (Speaker John) Boehner is going to be empowered by this larger majority or whether they're going to be a bigger thorn in his side in the way we've seen in the past, so as we look to whether the relative harmony and lack of drama of this lame-duck period can continue in the new Congress, I think that's going to be a major factor.Ī lot of people on something this important do not want to have it passed or rejected by a lame duck Congress. I don’t know why this had to be done on Day One, it makes it much less likely that we ’ll deal with the disability problem until the lame duck session - and that wo n’t provide a good result for American taxpayers. It is possible for Congress to carefully consider the details of this agreement and to review all of the benefits associated with this agreement for states and communities all across the country without kicking the vote all the way to the lame duck period, there is no reason that we need to wait that long, and particularly when you consider the views that have been shared by some leaders in the business community about how important it is for this agreement to get implemented so that American workers and American businesses can start reaping the businesses.

It is not a huge secret in the industry that, aside from the Intel Gaudi2 AI accelerator cluster, the company has big Gaudi2 demand despite only submitting on one of seven benchmarks. Intel is positioning for AI inference on CPU. Any AI-related topic is hot these days, however, companies like Cerebras are selling $1B USD AI clusters without submitting to NVIDIA’s MLPerf benchmark. Overall, there is not much to learn about the new MLPerf Inference results. That means that the AMD Socket SP3 Rome/Milan generation dominated the NVIDIA A100 and TPU v5e generation of accelerator platforms.Īs an honorable mention, the Moffett accelerators made a debut, but because of their software platform, they do not appear in the data center closed results. a virtual machine with its own IP address so it isnt behind a NAT (Network Address Translation).ollow the Mobility Print Setup guide for more information.

AMD EPYC 9004 Genoa With Milan Rome Intel Xeon Ice Lake Sapphire Rapids 13th Gen Core Ampere Altra Max 2 Still, NVIDIA is setting up a case to say “NVIDIA GPUs work best with NVIDIA CPUs” in the future so it can push Intel and AMD from AI servers. There are, of course, some major differences with one directly connected CPU to GPU instead of a SXM setup. The GH200 were ~2-17% faster with an average of just over 9% faster. NVIDIA submitted single H100 80GB results as well as NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper results. Still, all of these result lines were not submitted on all results, so one way to look at this is that <25% of the configurations were not NVIDIA but the total benchmark results were well over 85% NVIDIA making other submissions almost rounding errors.

This was ahead of Slate, CBS, and Merriam-Webster, and right behind Sprint and Travelocity. With 1.1 million people visiting the site’s archaically funky layout per day, WSHH, as of last week, was ranked the 278th-most-visited URL in the U.S., according to Alexa, a web-traffic-tracking service.

Some may contain potentially harmful ingredients, while others prioritize natural and safe components. It's crucial to remember that not all wax melts are created equal. While wax melts can infuse your home with delightful fragrances, there are some concerns to consider. The question of how bad wax melts truly are, requires a nuanced exploration. Although this is not always the case, many companies have perfected the use of fragrance oils in their products. However, some people may find the scent of these oils to be too strong or have a chemical-like smell. Therefore, you do not need to avoid products that contain them. There is no evidence that suggests that fragrance oils are hazardous to your health when inhaled. Is it safe to breathe in these manmade perfumes? Synthetic fragrance oils are a popular option for providing a powerful scent, but there are questions about their safety when inhaled. Many wax cubes are made with natural waxes and contain essential oils, so be sure to check the packaging before purchasing. ![]() Products that use essential oils may be more expensive than those that use fragrance oils, but the benefits associated with them are worth the cost. Additionally, these oils are healthy to breathe in and do not release toxic chemicals into the air.

If you go for a soy-based or beeswax melt, you can use it in any room in your house or office without any worries. However, not all wax melts are made from paraffin wax and are safe to inhale. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported that some women who inhaled benzene for a long time had irregular menstrual cycles and smaller ovaries. It is best to be cautious and opt for wax melts made of soy or beeswax, which do not contain benzene or toluene and are completely safe and non-toxic.Įarlier, it was mentioned that the debate over the safety of breathing in wax melts only applies to those made from paraffin wax. There is not enough evidence to suggest that the amount of benzene and toluene in candles is enough to cause harm to your health. However, not all wax melts are made of this material. Paraffin is derived from petroleum oil, which is used to make gasoline, and this is why it is considered toxic. When it comes to paraffin wax candles or wax melts, it is known that they release chemicals like benzene and toluene, which are not safe for human consumption. Wax melts are made up of the same types of ingredients as candles: Here are some important points to consider: The key to ensuring their safety lies in responsible usage and regular maintenance. Wax warmers are generally safe when used correctly and following the manufacturer's instructions. If you have any concerns, it is best to consult with your doctor or a health professional. However, it is important to make sure that you are using wax melts made with natural ingredients and essential oils. Overall, wax melts are safe to use and breathe in. These fragrances are not known to be toxic and are generally considered safe to breathe in. In addition, many wax melts are scented with essential oils and fragrances. However, when wax melts are used, they are not burned, and therefore, do not release VOCs. These VOCs can include toluene, benzene, and formaldehyde, which are known to be hazardous to human health. Paraffin wax is a petroleum-based product that can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) when burned. Nevertheless, there is some debate surrounding paraffin candles and wax melts. Paraffin and soy wax are the two most popular waxes used for candles and wax melts. The majority of wax melts are composed of either paraffin wax, soy wax, beeswax, or palm wax.
