![]() They thought of Canada as this pipe dream, as this place where they could go to be free and to create a better life for their kid.”Įven fans still crossing their fingers for a “Shang-Chi” theatrical release have mostly admitted defeat after these comments resurfaced, and fear a broader ban on the star. “When I was young, my parents would tell me these stories about growing up in Communist China where you had people dying of starvation,” he said in footage seen by Variety. More problematic still for nationalists is a 2017 interview in which Liu discusses his family’s immigrant background in a video celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary, which began circulating on Chinese social media last week. He likely didn’t know that two months ago, millions of outraged mainland consumers had called for a boycott of the company for being “anti-China.” Against the backdrop of recent pro-democracy protests, the company had expressed condolences to the family of a Hong Kong employee who stabbed a policed officer and then died by suicide. In the clip, Liu praises a lemon tea drink made by Hong Kong beverage firm Vitasoy. ![]() Seeing him more as one of China’s own, nationalist detractors have been quick to label him a “traitor” to the motherland - accusations that China-born director Chloe Zhao also faced earlier this year.įor such critics, even a light-hearted GQ video about Liu’s favorite Asian snacks is evidence of his offensive politics. Though Canadian, Liu was born in Harbin and speaks nearly accent-less Mandarin. Unfortunately for Marvel and Chinese exhibitors alike, “Shang-Chi” hits at a time when China-born stars with foreign passports are under fire for profiting in the country while holding foreign citizenship. Pointing out a “Shang-Chi” fight scene prominently featuring a giant digital billboard ad for major Chinese e-commerce company Jingdong, one exasperated blogger asked: “If ‘Shang-Chi’ is insulting China, why don’t you boycott Jingdong next?” Anti-China Asian Snacks “Shang-Chi” has so far grossed $146 million in North America and will likely become the first domestic release to cross the $200 million mark since the pandemic began.Īs China’s box office hits new lows, numerous Chinese industry players and fans have watched bitterly while the film rakes in ticket sales and acclaim abroad, criticizing the hypocrisy of knee-jerk nationalist denunciations that have left China without a piece of the action. “Although the Chinese accents of the American-born Chinese and Hong Kong stars was a bit hard to get through, they were done with sincerity.” “‘Shang-Chi’s’ take on Chinese elements is so much better than that of ‘Mulan,’” one wrote. Many Chinese viewers discussed their appreciation that there had been so much Chinese dialogue. “I didn’t see any insulting of China - I saw kissing up to China,” one quipped. The particular irony is that most Chinese viewers who have managed to actually see the film abroad or otherwise have deemed it “unexpectedly good” in post-show online reflections, with some going so far as to call it the most respectful treatment of Chinese culture coming from a Western production they’ve seen in years. The lack of a mainland release will be a sad result for Disney, which has so actively courted China for this film and paid tribute to aspects of its rich culture. Those odds have grown slimmer still after jingoistic social media users unearthed content featuring “Shang-Chi” star Simu Liu that they say “insults China.” In the country’s current political climate, the accusations could potentially lead to the ban of the star, the expensive blockbuster he anchors, and even future franchise films in which his character appears. ![]() ![]() As the days stretch on without any word of a China release for “ Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” there are increasingly slim odds that residents of the world’s largest film market will get to see Marvel’s first Asian superhero on the big screen. ![]() ![]() It was following a total of 12 people at the time of writing. The POTUS account has amassed close to 5 million followers since it was launched last week. My heart oh my god lmao I can finally see the president’s tweets and they probably won’t be unhinged- chrissy teigen January 21, 2021 She wrote: "OH MY GOD !!!!!!!!!! my heart oh my god lmao I can finally see the president's tweets and they probably won't be unhinged." Teigen reacted to the follow after it was highlighted in a tweet by the political author Gabe Fleisher. ![]() "hello I have been blocked by the president for four years can I get a follow plz," Teigen tweeted, tagging Biden's personal account.Īs of Thursday morning, the request had attracted hundreds of comments, more than 23,000 retweets and a whopping 600,000 likes from other users on the platform, where Trump's personal account has been permanently suspended since January 8. She was previously blocked by Donald Trump. Teigen, who commands a vast following of more than 13 million on the social media platform, appealed for a follow from the incoming commander-in-chief ahead of his inauguration on Wednesday. The newly-created presidential Twitter account currently follows a dozen people, and while most are Biden administration aides or top-level staffers, model and TV personality Chrissy Teigen also made the cut. These benchmarks are only available in this document, so please be aware the benchmark sets available elsewhere likely are not intended for Iowa use. The old benchmark for Kindergarten in the fall was 295, and the updated benchmark is 313.īelow are the 2021-22 benchmarks that will be used for MAP assessments in Iowa for the purpose of ELI and Healthy Indicator reports. The first table detail is from last year’s benchmarks. Here is an example of the change in benchmarks. With the winter screening window just weeks away, we recommend making sure that those using the data are aware of the benchmark changes and make any necessary changes to plans for student needs after the winter screening data are available. The updated benchmarks should be applied to the data in Student Success by mid-December. We want to support the best possible decision making for identifying students at risk in reading or math and the updated benchmarks will improve those decisions. This means that the literacy status has been calculated for students based on the old benchmarks, communicated with parents, and used to decide which students will receive interventions. We became aware of the change after the fall screening window closed. In other words, the old benchmarks were under-identifying students at risk when compared to the definitions used by other measures. The result of this change is that a few more students will probably be identified as below benchmark using the new benchmarks. This practice aligns with other screening assessments in use to meet ELI requirements. ![]() i-Ready benchmark updates for 22-23Ĭurriculum Associates informed us that they updated benchmarks for i-Ready for the 22-23 school year. Perviously, the benchmarks reflected only students at high risk.They added a “some risk” category which is also considered to be below the benchmark when screening for literacy risk in Iowa. The information below is based on that communication. Due to the impact of the change on reports/risk levels for some students, an email was sent 12/8/22 to the MTSS contacts for districts who have i-Ready as a default assessment. ![]() Download the 22-23 Iowa i-Ready Benchmarks here. ![]() The official Fastbridge benchmarks and norms are located in Fastbridge > Training & Resources > Benchmarks & Norms.Ĭurriculum Associates has updated the i-Ready benchmarks for Iowa for the 22-23 school year. Note for 2022-23: Looking for the quick reference document? The document was created by a non-FastBridge/non-Department of Education source and will no longer be available due to the lack of capacity to maintain and ensure the accuracy of the tables on a document that is duplicating information that is available from the vendor in the FastBridge system. If the student scored 145, the student is above the benchmark. For example, if the benchmark is 144 and the student score is 144, the student performed below benchmark. The benchmark numbers are generally the highest numeric score a student can get that does not meet the benchmark. This is one of the best-driving sports cars in the world-at any price. Pull one of the shift paddles that flank the steering wheel (yes, shift paddles on a manual) to activate the slick rev-matching feature, which makes you sound like a heel-and-toe hero on downshifts. ![]() One might expect a car with such heavyweight performance to have a transmission that takes muscle to shift, but that’s not the case. The Z06 makes a rather astonishing 650 hp from its supercharged V-8 and when shifted by an expert tester can hit 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. And that’s true even for the top Z06 model. The new seven-speed manual transmission (an eight-speed automatic is optional) is one of the best hooked to any V8. But as radical as the new look was compared to previous Vettes, they made sure to keep essentials unchanged-a powerful V-8 and a manual. The Corvette, redesigned in 2014, underwent its most dramatic redesign in decades. ![]() And regardless of whether your Miata has a hard roof or a soft one, it’s one of the best manual transmissions available on any car at any price. Either way, 2019 MX-5s get an uprated engine that now makes 181 hp and revs to 7,500 rpm. The Miata was all new for 2016, and a few years later the Mazda not only retains the easy-shifting and precise six-speed manual transmission in the Roadster model but also the even better driving retractable fastback (RF) model. The second-generation Miata of 1999 got one more gear in tenth anniversary models-a six-speed-that remained optional (the five-speed was standard) well into the third generation was equally great to use. ![]() The stubby little shifter was so effortless, it moved with just a modest flick of the wrist. But it’s no stretch to say it was Mazda’s brilliant five-speed manual transmission that seriously added to the thrill ride. The Miata’s organically responsive handling mixed with a large dollop of 1960s British roadster drew buyers by the tens of thousands to Mazda stores. Since the summer of 1989, the reasonably priced Mazda MX-5 Miata has been thrilling sports-car fans with its featherweight rear-drive chassis (just over 2,000 pounds) and drop-top fun-in-the-sun persona. ![]() is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to and affiliated sites.

The general idea is you share the Rosetta directory from macOS into your Linux guest OS, then launch the Rosetta interpreter from the Linux shell: let rosettaDir = try! VZLinuxRosettaDirectoryShare() This too can be easily configured for a given Linux VM using Swift. Possibly the most interesting new virtualization feature coming with macOS Ventura is support for Rosetta to run unmodified x86-64 Linux binaries. This makes it possible to display a Linux GUI inside a macOS window, similarly to how you can display a macOS GUI within a macOS window. This is possible both on Intel and ARM CPUs provided you download the appropriate distribution for your hardware.Īdditionally, with macOS Ventura, you will be able to use VirtioGPU 2D, a virtualization device that allows Linux to provide interfaces to the host. This makes it possible to download an ISO Linux image, attach it to a virtual storage device, create a boot loader, and boot into the OS, as Poulin shows. In macOS Ventura, Apple is introducing support for the EFI boot loader, which is able to discover any virtual device attached to a VM from which to boot. Among supported devices is the GPU, which enables running Metal with almost native performance inside of a VM.Īs mentioned, you can virtualize not only macOS but Linux as well. VirtualMachineView.virtualMachine = virtualMachineĪ VM created in this way is sort-of equivalent to a physical device where you can install the OS, explain Poulin, who also details all the steps required to install and run macOS from an image. Let virtualMachineView = VZVirtualMachineView() Let virtualMachine = VZVirtualMachine(configuration: configuration) Once you have a configuration, you can instantiate and run a virtual machine using VZVirtualMachine as well as attach it to a view to display it inside a macOS window using VZVirtualMachineView: var configuration = VZVirtualMachineConfiguration()ĬmorySize = (4 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024) as UInt64Ĭonfiguration.storageDevices = Ĭonfiguration.pointingDevices = VZVirtualMachineConfiguration is the core class that allows developers to define the hardware they want to have available in their VMs, including how many CPUs, how much memory, storage, and other devices. Actually, the Virtualization Framework is just a higher-level layer running on top of the Hypervisor Framework, as shown in the following image. As Apple engineer Benjamin Poulin showed, the Virtualization Framework offers a high-level API to configure and create VMs on macOS using Swift. The Virtualization Framework was introduced in macOS BigSur, a.k.a macOS 11, two years ago as an alternative to the Hypervisor Framework. ![]() New in the upcoming macOS Ventura, Linux VMs can leverage the GPU and use Rosetta to run unmodified x86-64 Linux binaries. ![]() Apple Virtualization Framework enables configuring and creating virtual machines on Apple Silicon to run macOS or Linux.
