![]() Not sure if that was intended though.Īnyway, all in all it's an okay movie and even if I'm baffled by its audience numbers, it can make for a good watch if you don't expect something substantial, but just pointless fun. With that scene where he fired early on out of the window, I immediately had to think of Fiennes' balcony scene from "Schindler's List". Haase's performance and also the "Romeo&Juliet" play made the development of the problem class the most interesting part of the film for me, more than the romance or Zeki's character development. Maybe I'd consider the supporting players from "Fack ju Göhte" almost equal to Kavanian, Rohde, Schweighöfer and Vogel as Jella Haase and Katja Riemann did a fine job with what they were given. The lead performances, writing and attention to detail felt simply more credible to me. I certainly preferred "Keinohrhasen" though. Ruthless guy with no manners meets nerdy kindergärtner/teacher (ugly duckling who slowly turns into beautiful swan), grows closer with her always in danger of falling back into old schemes. Not only does Alwara Höfels, who did nothing for me here except drooling and letting everybody in the audience know what a stud M'Barek's character is, play a slightly crasser version of her character in that movie, but the story is essentially the same. I saw another user compare it to the German classic "Die Lümmel von der ersten bank", but I personally rather thought of "Keinohrhasen". Neither the parts of the lead character's emotional growing up, nor the funny parts, nor the romance parts were something that I would even consider even remotely great. It's not even that the movie stays equally controversial from start to finish. I wonder if a controversial title these days is enough to get people in millions into theaters.

"Fack Ju Göhte" is by no means a terrible film (although you could probably say that for the first 30-45 minutes which was one of the worst I've seen all year and I've seen many), but it's not even close to the best German films from 2013.

The only real question open to be answered is if it can beat "Django Unchained" as the most-seen movie in German cinemas 2013. So that means, we'll probably get a sequel no later than 2016, even if Elyas M'Barek, who reunited with director Bora Dagtekin from their movie and TV series Türkisch für Anfänger, just stated he's kinda sick of making films. "Fack ju Göhte" is by the most commercially successful German movie of the year. Thankfully the writer's intentions of relying completely on vulgar humor and stupid pranks to carry the movie quickly changed for the better. I never leave a movie before it finishes, but if I did, I may have done it here and I'd have missed a rise in quality. Reviewed by Horst_In_Translation 6 / 10 Starts very weak, but gains steam

![]() Lacks the AI-based tools of Google Photosįlickr (opens in new tab) has operated for over 16 years, and remains one of the most trusted cloud-based photo storage services. Read our Dropbox cloud storage review (opens in new tab). It is unrivalled in the size and versatility of its file storage. If you already have a Dropbox subscription and want to store many photos as a secure backup, then Dropbox is probably for you. Unlike most photo-specific cloud storage, Dropbox does not feature smart tagging or AI categorization, making the collation of photo albums harder. There is also integration with Facebook to download images from the site and with Adobe Creative Cloud for easy transfer. With the standard 2TB capacity on Individual Plus accounts, Dropbox compares favourably with other best Google Photos alternatives such as OneDrive (2TB at $180 a year).ĭropbox can auto-sync photos from your devices to the cloud and integrates with third-party apps such as photo editor Pixlr. There are additional features in security (Vault, passwords, remote device wipe), sharing (Basic includes up to 100MB/transfer, Plus is 2GB/transfer), and access (Plus includes smart sync and mobile offline folders). The greatest difference between the Basic account and Individual Plus subscription tier ( $120 a year) is in the account storage size. The best Google Photos alternatives available ![]() ![]() They also provide many more options to showcase your work and even explore commercial opportunities within their public galleries. These services have advanced photo editing features and greater community integration through forums, tutorials, and competitions. More serious photo cloud storage alternatives include Adobe Portfolio, Piwigo, and 500px, which will appeal to professional photographers. Amazon Photos is perfect for those who are already Prime members, as storage is unlimited. ![]() It is clear that Amazon and Google have been watching each other, mimicking each other’s features and usability through their respective platforms. Its simple interface, collation options, and sharing features are similar to those of Google Photos, without the smart tagging or AI options.Īmazon Photos is similar to Google Photos in its interface, utility, cost, and even name. Flickr is one of the largest cloud-based photo storage services, and caters to a wide variety of amateur to professional users. Dropbox tops our list for its sheer ease-of-use and large capacity storage with photo-specific features, while OneDrive follows in third for its ability to accept any file type, which can be incredibly useful when it comes to photo editing.įor general users, the best Google Photos alternatives outside of more regular cloud storage services are Flickr (in second place) and Amazon Photos (in fourth). We've included a series of the best cloud storage (opens in new tab) providers in this list, namely Dropbox and Microsoft OneDrive, given their strengths as cloud storage services. What are the best Google Photos alternatives? Many allow users to tag and collate images, creating organized photo databases where pics can be searched through by date, type, subject, location, and more. The best Google Photos alternatives provide easy-to-use storage spaces enabling you to back up images from any device. Of course, you can pay for extra storage with Google Photos, but you may prefer the features and pricing of other providers. With Google Photos having changed its storage conditions (opens in new tab) from J(from free unlimited storage to 15GB that is shared across Gmail, Drive and Photos), alternative services are becoming more competitive. ![]() There’s a particularly cool boss near the end that has you shooting off the giant’s armor from afar, before mounting the beast and jumping between parts of his body as you dodge lightning bolts. You’ll fight winged dragons, big ol’ troll thingies, and a giant worm, and most of the fights are at the very least great premises even if sloppy gameplay rains on the parade. Read the full Shadow of the Colossus reviewĪssuming you do as I did and spend the least amount of time in the open world possible, and assuming that you can acclimate with less-than-ideal controls, the bosses themselves are definitely the best part of Praey for the Gods. It remains one of the best PlayStation games ever made, and it’s wonderful that Sony has brought it back to the fore so a new generation of gamers can experience it without having to look past its aged facade. ![]() This outstanding remaster skillfully enhances those qualities with improved controls, performance, and sheer graphical beauty. The true definition of a classic, the gameplay and story of Shadow of the Colossus are every bit as great and emotional today as they were in 2005. Swinging weapons at skeletal enemies or taking aim at animals you’re hunting with a bow and arrow is inaccurate, costs valuable resources, and rarely helps you accomplish your goal of taking down all eight bosses. (You don’t get XP from combat, so why bother?)Īnd even when your weapons aren’t broken yet, if they’ve reached low durability they do significantly less damage, and that causes combat to drag on and cause so much frustration because combat isn’t all that good to begin with. I’m not one of those people who claims Breath of the Wild is a bad game because of weapon durability, but dear lord, here your weapons get smashed into pieces after so few uses that most of the time I just ran past enemies for fear of having to spend time gathering resources to craft new ones. The issues with climbing mechanics take these infrequent irritations and make them full-blown infuriating.Ĭombat out in the open world has many of the same complaints as climbing, including the laggy feeling to the controls and your character having a hard time staying on her feet, but has the added annoyance in the form of weapons so breakable that they feel like they’re made out of fine china. There’s nothing worse than finally getting on top of a beast and reaching the area where you can deal damage, only to get repeatedly interrupted as you’re shaken around until you finally run out of stamina and tumble back to the ground. These problems mesh with the existing minor annoyances associated with this kind of game in the worst way possible – things like how you’re constantly interrupted by the beast shaking you around like a rag doll and have to monitor your stamina meter the whole time. Considering how much time you spend climbing in Praey for the Gods, these annoyances end up haunting you almost every single step of the way through a mercifully short five-hour playthrough. Sometimes you’ll even just fall off of whatever you were climbing when you’ve still got stamina left and plummet to your death in a fit of pure rage. You’ll get caught on random surfaces as you go and have to frantically jiggle the thumbstick until you break free, or start climbing in the wrong direction for no discernible reason and struggle to regain control. ![]() Combined with the sluggish controls, there were many times where my death felt completely unfair and had me looking to the nonexistent referee for a slow-motion replay of that flagrant malarkey.Ĭlimbing giant beasts is supposed to be Praey for the Gods’ headliner, but because you move so incredibly slowly, and the controls for climbing are so inconsistent, it oftentimes is more irritating than fun. ![]() There were times where I was clearly several feet away from an incoming attack and my character would flop to the ground like I was a FIFA player trying to get a foul called on the colossus attacking me. Basically, anytime one of the giants attacks they create a shockwave in the immediate area that deals tons of damage, knocks you to the ground for what feels like forever, and is just downright cheap. It certainly doesn’t help that I was constantly shocked by the things that killed me during boss fights. ![]() While ancient mosaics tended to be architectural, modern mosaics are found covering everything from park benches and flower pots to guitars and bicycles. Today's artisans and crafters work with stone, ceramics, shells, art glass, mirror, beads, and even odd items like doll parts, pearls, or photographs. ![]() Mosaics have developed into a popular craft and art, and are not limited to professionals. The worldwide web gives access to a great many artists working in this medium. The field is rich with new ideas and approaches, and organizations such as The Society of American Mosaic Artists exist to promote mosaic. Mosaic is in a healthy state in the early 21st century. They consist of pieces of colored stones, shells and ivory. The earliest known examples of mosaics made of different materials were found at a temple building in Ubaid, Mesopotamia, and are dated to the second half of 3nd millennium BCE. Mosaic is the art of creating images with an assemblage of small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other materials. It's worth noting that similar mosaics have been found in the Americas dating at least 250 CE (and possibly before) in the Maya civilization, where the art form was developed independently. These ancient mosaics were made of stones, shells, and ivory, most of which were locally available products. The oldest mosaics we've found date to the 3rd millennium BCE, in a temple in Mesopotamia. It is a beautiful art form, but where did it come from? From what we can tell, mosaics have been around for a very long time, perhaps as long as architecture itself. It's a unique art form and one which can produce incredible results. We call this art form a mosaic, a decorated surface made up of individual pieces. Rather than creating images by adding pigment to a flat surface, some artists created patterns or shapes by arranging hundreds to thousands of tiny, colored tiles. However, it's even more incredible to learn that some of these are not paintings at all. The complexity, the color, and the shapes can be fascinating. It can be easy to get lost in the beauty of ancient paintings. ![]() Runaway exploitation of the system by predatory banks was made possible by the Clinton “reforms” of the 1990s and the lax application of those rules that still prevailed. The latter include the dismantling of the apparatus to regulate financial activities specifically and big business generally. In addition, several significant governmental actions have been taken that directly favor the moneyed interests. Third, the readiness of the country’s political class to ignore what has been happening, and the absence of remedial action that could have been taken, in themselves are clear indicators of who shapes thinking and determines public policy. Second, other countries (many even more enmeshed in the world economy) have seen nothing like the drastic phenomenon occurring in the United States. First, there is no reason to think that such a process has accelerated over the past five years during which disparities have widened at a faster rate. That argument won’t wash, though, for three reasons. Theoretically, there is the possibility that this change is due to structural economic features operating nationally and internationally. Between 20, the real net worth of 90% of Americans has declined by 25%. ![]() That pattern has been markedly accelerated since the financial crisis hit in 2008. In short, the overwhelming fraction of all the wealth created over two generations has gone to those at the very top of the income pyramid. To put it somewhat differently, according to the Congressional Budget Office, the top earning 1 percent of households gained about 8X more than those in the 60 percentile after federal taxes and income transfers over a period between 19 10X those in lower percentiles. In that period, real GDP has risen by 110% – it has more than doubled. Estimates as to the rise in real income for salaried workers over the past 40 years range from 20% to 28 %. The familiar statistics tell us that nearly 80% of the national wealth generated since 1973 has gone to the upper 2%, 65% to the upper 1 per cent. Gross income redistribution upwards in the hierarchy has been a feature of American society for the past decades. Let’s look at some striking bits of evidence. The United States today qualifies as a plutocracy – on a number of grounds. Also, in some exceptional circumstances rich individuals who hold powerful positions may govern in the interests of the many, e.g. Government of the rich and for the rich need not berun directly by the rich. ![]() These aspects of “plutocracy” are not exclusive. “Rule” can have various shades of meaning: those who exercise the authority of public office are wealthy their wealth explains why they hold that office they exercise that authority in the interests of the rich they have the primary influence over who holds those offices and the actions they take. Plutocracy literally means rule by the rich. ![]() The basic data flow structure of the package is provided in Figure 1. In keeping with the UNIX philosophy of developing independent tools to perform single, specific tasks and then linking the tools together in a package, BRL-CAD is basically a collection of libraries, tools, and utilities that work together to create, raytrace, and interrogate geometry and manipulate files and data. This gives BRL-CAD the capability to be "more than skin deep" and build objects with real-world materials, densities, and thicknesses so that analysts can study physical phenomena such as ballistic penetration and thermal, radiative, neutron, and other types of transport. While polygonal and boundary representation (B-rep) modeling often focuses on just the surfaces of objects, CSG modeling focuses on the entire volume and content of objects. Accordingly, developers have found CSG modeling to be the best approach in terms of model accuracy, storage efficiency, precision, and speed of computational analysis. ![]() Finally, BRL-CAD users can accurately model objects on scales ranging from the subatomic through the galactic and get "all the details, all the time."Īlthough BRL-CAD has been used for a wide variety of engineering and graphics applications, the package's primary purpose continues to be the support of (1) ballistic and (2) electromagnetic analyses. Another strength of the package is the speed of its ray tracer, which is one of the fastest in existence. In addition, BRL-CAD simultaneously supports dual interaction methods, one using a command line and one using a graphical user interface (GUI).Ī particular strength of the package lies in its ability to build and analyze realistic models of complex objects using a relatively small set of "primitive shapes." To do this, the shapes are manipulated by employing the basic Boolean operations of union, subtraction, and intersection. It contains a large collection of tools, utilities, and libraries including an interactive geometry editor, ray tracing and generic framebuffer libraries, a network-distributed image-processing and signal-processing capability, and a customizable embedded scripting language. Now comprising almost a million lines of C code, BRL-CAD has become a powerful constructive solid geometry (CSG) modeling package that has been licensed at over 2,000 sites throughout the world. When no existing computer-aided design (CAD) package was found to be adequate for this purpose, BRL software developers began assembling a suite of utilities capable of interactively displaying, editing, and interrogating geometric models. Army Research Laboratory ) expressed a need for interactive tools that could assist with the computer simulation and engineering analysis of combat vehicle systems and environments. Army Ballistic Research Laboratory (BRL) (now the U.S. The result has been a reduction in the amount of time and money required to take a system from the drawing board to full-scale production as well as increased efficiency in testing and evaluation. Since the late 1950's, computers have been used to assist with the design and study of combat vehicle systems. ![]() It’s astounding…and perhaps, if I’m being honest, also a bit terrifying. I encourage you to search YouTube and watch videos of Sophia by typing in “Sophia Robot Interview” and seeing it for yourself. You may think that I am giving you a synopsis of some new Sci-Fi novel we offer at the library, but I am not. In 2017, one year after its creation, it was awarded the title of “Innovation Ambassador” by the United Nations, the only robot AI in history to ever be given a designated title by the UN. Sophia is an official citizen of Saudi Arabia, (yes, you are reading that right!), the first and only robot to ever be granted citizenship to a country. The robot and its creator, David Hanson of Hanson Robotics, have been interviewed on CNBC, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and The Today Show, just to name a few. In 2018, it was given robotic legs that allow it to walk. It has been engineered with hands that move when asked questions, and also allows it to draw portraits. The robot has skin made of “fubber” an elastic rubber material that, when combined with its expert programming, allows it to mimic human expressions, and can react “emotionally” to questions it is asked. Sophia has cameras in its eyes that allow it to “see” and maintain eye contact with whomever it is conversing with. The robot uses speech recognition software that is programmed to “learn” the more it converses with others. Sophia can mimic human facial expressions and can carry basic conversations. “She” is a social humanoid artificial intelligence robot that has been developed by Hong Kong based company Hanson Robotics.
