I chuckled aloud at how much I related to her words: the subtle hints that arise in Nora and Hae-sung's conversation reveals the differences in their cultural values and perspectives. I mean I have Korean friends, but he's like, not Korean American, you know? He's a Korean Korean." he has all these Korean views on everything, and I just feel really not Korean with him. She complains to him about Hae-sung, "He's so Korean. ![]() By this time, Nora has already married Arthur, the writer she met at the residency. Nora eventually meets Hae-sung in person in New York City, but time, geography and experiences have created a divide too far to bridge. But while certain elements of "Past Lives" did remind me of the K-dramas I'd seen, Song's incorporation of her personal story as a diasporic Korean filmmaker added another layer to the chut sarang trope. Past Lives (A24)Before watching "Past Lives ," I expected another typical chut sarang storyline: Nora and Hae-sung reunite, and they end up together against all odds. The pull of fate's threads were too magnetic to keep them apart. Inyeon as powerful as the one in "My Sassy Girl" was always what brought lovers back together. Their lives entangle as they skip those appointments, start to date and break up only to realize that the initial appointment they had both missed was a blind date where they would have been introduced to one another. Hallyu classic "My Sassy Girl" shows the leads meeting at a train station en route to their respective appointments. For example, in "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim ," the leads are kidnapped as children, and they both suppress the traumatic memory until they recognize each other in a work setting decades later.īecause romance viewers are always hungry for a happy ending, in many stories like "My First First Love," "My ID is Gangnam Beauty" and "My Sassy Girl," lovers overcome obstacles and disprove reality to stay together. Reuniting with a chut sarang is a well-loved trope in popular Korean films and dramas like "Our Beloved Summer," "Start Up" and "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim." In these stories, the younger leads are separated in childhood as life pulls them apart, only to reunite when they're older. "One never truly forgets their first love," is a common Korean adage I heard repeatedly. First loves occupy almost a mythological status in the Korean romantic imagination. Growing up, the idea of chut sarang was present in almost every Korean drama I watched. "Connected through inyeon": Teo Yoo reflects on the fate that guided his career and to "Past Lives" ![]()

![]() There are infinite possible curvature values that the universe might have had. This is fortuitous: You might not be reading this if the curvature were otherwise. Our universe is approximately “flat,” meaning that the rules you learned in geometry class, such as parallel lines never meet, apply everywhere. One was the universe’s spatial curvature - a measure of how initially parallel beams of light diverge as they propagate. By the 1970s, several fissures had emerged, calling the accuracy of the Big Bang into question. Furthermore, no one knew what had caused the Big Bang to begin its prodigious expansion. As far back as the 1940s, cosmologists recognized serious flaws in the theory’s narrative. ![]() The Big Bang wasn’t without its contrivances. The inflationary universe is a theory of the ‘bang’ of the Big Bang.” Ironing out the details Alan Guth, who began developing the theory in 1979, wrote in his book The Inflationary Universe that “the standard Big Bang theory says nothing about what banged, why it banged, or what happened before it banged. The most popular model for what preceded it is inflation. BBN is currently the last epoch of certainty, the final stage in reverse cosmic history where the underlying forces of nature were similar to physics accessible to modern-day particle accelerators.īeyond BBN lies speculation. The Big Bang theory describes the era starting when the lightest elements were formed - called Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN see “The emergence of matter,” page 18) - until today, where distant objects are receding at great velocities. But what happened before the Big Bang may have laid the foundations for what came after. ![]() Stephen Hawking considered this inquiry pointless, like asking “What’s south of the South Pole?” While often conflated, the Big Bang and the origin of time are distinct epochs. But they are less sure of what came before.

Alternatively, if after a few minutes you find that your bed is too firm, pressure can be fine-tuned by opening the inflation value and poking your finger inside whilst lay on the mat a few gentle taps on the internal valve seal should do the trick. Simply attach it to the inflate valve and perform a bit of "CPR". The mat includes a minipump to add more air if the mat isn’t to your preferred firmness, or if you are just in a bit more of a hurry (whilst it is self-inflating to a degree, the mini pump really does help give it that little extra, so don't forget it at home!). It will need to be left inflated for the foam to relax), thus drawing air into the mat. To inflate, simply open the inflate valve and allow the foam to rebound back to its original form (it's good to note that with it's first use the mat will not self-inflate due to being rolled from factory. It was originally intended for expedition and basecamp uses because of its great thermal properties, however, because this mat is so comfortable van owners and glampers have found it too comfortable to resist.

Mike MahardyĪ Plague Tale: Requiem is available on Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X via Game Pass. Pacing is crucial in third-person adventures, and Requiem’s expert flow of puzzles, stealth sequences, horrifying set-pieces, and brutal combat scenarios is pacing at its best. The respite comes to an end, of course, propelling the duo on a journey across the French countryside, through rat-infested tunnels, and across the rooftops of plague-ridden slums. Set shortly after A Plague Tale: Innocence, Requiem finds protagonist Amicia and her younger brother Hugo during a brief reprieve from the Macula, the sinister plague that gives Hugo vicious powers, but is also eating him from the inside. And despite the pedigree of the above examples, I have encountered few “escort” stories as stunning as that of A Plague Tale: Requiem. Whether it be a man escorting his proxy daughter through an apocalyptic America, a father guiding his son through the trials of mythical Armageddon, or a government agent sent to retrieve the president’s daughter from a remote Spanish village, this is a medium obsessed with those who have been deemed guardians.

Replace your iPhone screen now! What if the iPhone no longer responds to commands? Same thing when the LCD / OLED panel breaks: in this case, even in the presence of an intact glass, it is necessary to replace the entire display assembly. When the glass of the iPhone is broken, therefore, unless the model is very dated, it is necessary to change the entire display. The factory bonding makes the three components (LCD / OLED, digitizer, protective glass) interconnected to each other: a generic damage to one affects the others, thus making the exchange of the entire display assembly mandatory. Other passive components of the phone (such as cameras, speakers, micro-handsets, buttons, etc.) can also be added to the display assembly, including a protection plate. The structure thus combined is called display assembly. The LCD or OLED panel is joined to the thin capacitive digitizing film, which in turn is glued - by means of a special transparent glue - to the protective glass. With the exception of a few models (iPhones up to the 3GS series), all iPhones are built with an industrial technique that assembles the display, digitizer and protective glass in a coherent structure. The LCD or OLED panel is also very delicate: in this case too, the structure where the liquid crystals or the delicate LEDs are added is very fragile, and can break if very energetically stressed. It is therefore evident that, during a fall, the structure that undergoes the greatest energetic stress is almost always the protective glass, which in fact is statistically the first component that breaks. The resistance to energy stresses of a metal such as steel is not comparable with that of a silicate such as Gorilla Glass, and the same comparison can be made between glass and aluminum. When an iPhone falls to the ground or receives a major impact, it therefore takes a lot of energy that flows through the entire phone but the iPhone is not a solid and compact block of the same material, but is made up of many elements that, individually, react differently to energy stresses.Īll iPhones have a central general support structure, called the body or frame: this can be built in aluminum, steel or metal alloy, and it serves precisely to support both the internal electronic components (logic board, cameras, battery, etc. ![]() If, on the other hand, there is too much energy and the materials cannot effectively disperse it, the structure breaks down, since the energy must be released anyway. If the structures of the materials manage to accommodate this deformation and disperse the energy, they remain intact. This energy wave spreads over the entire structure, causing the molecules of the telephone's materials to vibrate, just as earthquakes make buildings vibrate during an earthquake. ![]() When the iPhone falls or suffers an impact, the kinetic energy moves on the surface of the phone exactly like the energy released by an earthquake: like a wave. Unfortunately, like any other material present in nature, even the alloy of Gorilla Glass can break if stressed beyond the energy measure that it is able to absorb. ![]() The protection of the glass in Gorilla Glass is necessary to safeguard the display from bumps, scratches, dust, humidity and any other danger deriving from the external environment. ![]() In the construction process, a Gorilla Glass panel is applied, by means of a special transparent optical glue, to the LCD or OLED panel, thus forming a cohesive structure. Gorilla Glass is a particular glass, mainly a silicon-based alloy with aluminum inserts, which make the structure resistant but at the same time with good flexibility. Regardless of the technology used, LCD or OLED, the very fragile display panel is always protected by a special protective glass, called Gorilla Glass. The models of the X and later series are equipped with an OLED technology display. Each iPhone model, up to iPhone 8 series and also including the XR family, is equipped with an active matrix display with trans-reflective LCD technology. ![]() |
