![]() Odar directed all ten episodes.įilming took place in Berlin and surrounding areas. There were a total of 151 shooting days including second unit shoots. Principal photography commenced on Octoand lasted for six months until it wrapped on April 8, 2017. Netflix gave us a budget and a couple of notes and let us do it." Production Filming He said: "We could cast whoever we wanted, the actors who fit best for the role. Netflix told the filmmakers, "We don't really know German actors - just get the best ones." Bo Odar praised the creative freedom they got from Netflix. Netflix's backing allowed the creators to cast whoever they pleased, including unknown actors. The series concluded after a third season, which the creators had envisioned from the beginning, with Bo Odar commenting they did not want to end up like Lost. ![]() However, Netflix were okay with keeping some things which only Germans would understand, as long as the overall narrative worked for everyone. For example, some instances of sarcasm in dialogue did not translate well to English because of the difference in tone. Some details had to be changed for the international audience to understand it. Friese stated they enjoyed the comparisons, saying: "It’s really exciting because if all those people who watched Stranger Things will at least think about watching Dark, I think that’s a great opportunity for us." However, Dark was already in pre-production when Stranger Things premiered and the series is much darker and not for kids. Friese called structuring it a "complex task." īefore its release, the series was often compared to Stranger Things based on its premise and partial 1980s setting. There are 72 characters in the series, including three different actors for the same character across three different time periods. ![]() Other influences are Stephen King and David Lynch. They were also inspired by their childhoods in German small towns during the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, when release of radioactive materials spread fears of contamination. David Lynch's Twin Peaks, which deals with the same topic, shaped them in their teenage years. Having grown up in a small town themselves, the creators had a fascination with the subject of the darkness hiding behind closed doors in a small town. They had another idea for a time travel feature film and they combined the two ideas. Initially, Dark was an idea for a crime show they had written two years prior to being contacted by Netflix. They were inspired by the Scandinavian Nordic Noir genre. Odar and Friese felt that German television was associated with something ugly and sad, and that all German series were either thrillers or crimes, so they wanted to create something of a higher quality for a universal audience. The move into German television drama was part of the company's global strategy, with which they hoped to attract more foreign subscribers and boost their library of originals worldwide. ĭark was Netflix's first original series entirely authored, shot and produced in Germany. Reluctant to repeat themselves, Odar and Friese instead pitched other ideas to Netflix, one of which was Dark. Netflix approached Odar and Friese after seeing Who Am I at the Toronto Film Festival in 2014, asking if they could make a series out of it. All of the aforementioned had previously collaborated on the 2014 film Who Am I, which grossed $6 million at the local box office and won three German Movie Awards and the Bambi for “Best German Film.” It was produced by Quirin Berg, Max Wiedemann and Justyna Müsch. The series was created by Swiss director Baran bo Odar and German writer Jantje Friese. " Dark" represents the first German original series produced for Netflix. The story includes supernatural elements that tie back to the same town in 1986. The mystery-drama series introduces an intricate puzzle filled with twists that includes a web of curious characters, all of whom have a connection to the town's troubled history - whether they know it or not. When two children go missing in a small German town, its sinful past is exposed along with the double lives and fractured relationships that exist among four families as they search for the kids.

The free version is, just as with many of the other apps here, pretty much a demo for what Disk Drill actually does. ![]() Previous macOS releases are supported, back to 10.13 High Sierra, and for anyone using a version of the OS that predates those, you can still use older versions of the Disk Drill software which go all the way back to macOS 10.5 Leopard. The app itself has been around for a while now, going through various iterations, but the current version is the refinement of that process.Ĭompatible with M1/M2 and T2 enabled Macs, as well as the older versions, it also runs on macOS Ventura so it’s fully up to date. You’ll need to pay if you want to actually get back your data.Īlthough the two Windows apps above are also available for macOS, one of our favourites for Mac users is Disk Drill Data Recovery. This is probably a bit too specialist for most people, so the Essential and Standard plans would be the better choice.Īs with Stellar Data Recovery, you can download the app for free, but it will only scan and preview files. You can also reconstruct video and image files that have become corrupted. There is a further tier above this called Premium ($99.99/£80 per year) which introduces more advanced tools such as being able to recover data from a NAS drive, RAID drive or Linux PC. If you upgrade from the Essential tier (which will set you back $69.99/£56 per year) up to the Standard plan ($79.99/£64) then you’ll open up the ability to create bootable disks/USB drives to recover from a complete system crash. If you see that appear, backup your data immediately and start shopping for a new drive. There’s a helpful additional feature that warns you if the disk has any problems, such as bad sectors, which could indicate a potential failure in the near future. It also has the ability to scan disk images (copies of your entire hard drive) to recover valuable files. ![]() Recoverit can restore over 1,000 file types from a whole host of storage devices, including encrypted BitLocker drives if you have the password. There are plenty of pop-up tip boxes to ensure that you always know what you’re doing and a few suggestions for ways to simplify the whole process. The design of Recoverit is friendly and modern, with nice icons that let you know what you’re selecting in terms of where to search and what to find. Recoverit continues this trend with an easy to use interface paired with some quite powerful search and recovery tools. Wondershare is another well-established company that has been making software for years. There’s also a version available for macOS, so your Apple using friends can also get their valuable data back. These include Standard, which costs $59.99/£49.99, Professional (adds lost partitions and unbootable system recovery) that is currently $89.99/£94.99 or the Premium tier that has all the features of the others plus repairing corrupted files and costs $99.99/£99. To use the software fully, and gain access to the advanced recovery features, you’ll need to sign up to one of the three tiers. This at least lets you see if the missing files might be recoverable before you spend any money. There’s a free demo version to get you started, but it only lets you search for the missing files and preview their content. Depending on which tier you select, there’s also options to recover corrupted image and video files, plus rescue data from lost drive partitions. Stellar Data Recovery for Windows can also retrieve information from encrypted drives that use BitLocker, although you’ll need the password to enable the recovery. Once it has completed the scan, you can then select the files you want to recover, then if all goes well they should be restored to your drive. Thankfully, the software will happily get on with things by itself, so you can leave it running while you get on with other tasks. You’ll need to use the Deep Scan feature to hunt down deleted files, and this can take quite a while if you have a large drive to interrogate. ![]() It’s all via options you can click on, so even if you’re not familiar with this kind of software you’ll be up and running in no time. When you first launch the program you can select the types of file you want to recover, then the folders and drives on which the software will search. So it should be suitable for most people’s PCs or storage media. ![]() It’s also happy to deal with various formatting options, including NTFS, FAT32, FAT16 or exFAT. It boasts an impressive range of file types that can be recovered (over 200) and this can be done from hard drives, SSDs, USB drives, SD cards, Micro-SD cards and other variants. If you just need to get back deleted or seemingly lost files, then Stellar Data Recovery for Windows is a good place to start. Stellar has been around for decades now, offering utilities for individuals and businesses, all centered around data recovery and repair. ![]() There is one type of termination that is often missed and yet very important, one that I learned working closely with people in the arena of labor and management: in every organization, inevitably there are managers who are kind, considerate, and upright to their bosses, but cruel and uncaring to their subordinates. ![]() Many times, terminations come because of economic downturns that require organizations to trim their staff, so people are laid off not for any fault of their own. Sometimes, they must be terminated simply because they are not able to meet their responsibilities in a competent manner. Sometimes, employees must be terminated because of immorality or illegal activities. One of the problems that the management of any organization faces, inevitably, is a necessity from time to time to terminate employees. One of the matters we were concerned with was how people in large organizations were treated by their bosses and management. This man was so exercised about the well-being of his slave that he sent a message to Jesus pleading and begging for Jesus to come and heal his servant.īack in the days when I ministered in Western Pennsylvania, I was involved in an organization called “Value of the Person” that ministered in the arena of labor and management relationships. The first is the remarkable concern and care that this powerful and wealthy man had for a slave, a servant who had no social standing in the community. There are a couple of things I want us to look at this morning. So, the Jews came to Jesus and said, “Help this man, because he is worthy.” He was obviously a man of wealth and had spent his money to build a synagogue for the Jewish people in Capernaum. He was loved by the Jews because he had been very generous. The centurion was a man of some status in the nation of Rome, being a commander of one hundred or more troops. I really like this centurion who sent his servants to Christ, pleading that Jesus would come and heal his servant, who was sick to the very point of death. We ask that the full power of this Word may dwell in us richly in this hour. We who hear it are not holy, save for that consecration You have made of us by Your Spirit. Our Father and our God, again we come to Your Holy Word this morning. This is a remarkable incident during the earthly ministry of Jesus, and Luke’s record of it comes to us under the inspiration of God the Holy Spirit, carrying the full weight of God’s authority and truth. When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, “I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!” And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well who had been sick. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” ![]() For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. And when He was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof. And when they came to Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying that the one for whom He should do this was deserving, “for he loves our nation, and has built us a synagogue.” So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, pleading with Him to come and heal his servant. And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die. Now when He concluded all His sayings in the hearing of the people, He entered Capernaum. This morning, we’re going to start on chapter 7 of the Gospel According to Saint Luke. ![]() Recently, there’s a been a certain TikTok account from a certain brand of soda that’s been catching the attention of anyone that scrolls right on past it some people have even gone on to say that it’s truly one of a kind. And now, four and a half months later, the hashtag # dirtysoda has over 1.3 million collective views on videos of creators either trying these "sodies," as many Utahans call them, or soda shops showing how they make them.The various platforms of social media allow for countless ideas of self-expression, including humor, sadness, happiness, and even some posts that truly make us turn our heads into deep, deep confusion. A December 2021 Instagram post featured the actor and singer posing with a cup from Swig and encouraged followers to guess what dirty soda was her go-to. SodaliciousĪs for its TikTok fame, according to Eater, dirty sodas have Olivia Rodrigo to thank. One tell-tale sign you've encountered a dirty soda is the appearance of a clear plastic cup that boasts colorful liquid, swirling cream and pebble ice. And you'll be hard-pressed to find a soda shop with a menu that doesn't serve some variant of sugar cookies and pretzels. (Any time you add anything to soda, it’s considered “dirty,” Tanner told TODAY.) Head to Sodalicious for a taste of “2nd Wife” (Mountain Dew, fruit syrups, with a shot of half-and-half) or “Sugar Daddy” (another Mountain Dew drink mixed with raspberry, mango, pineapple, vanilla and half-and-half). Check out a location and you’ll be met with tongue-in-cheek nods to LDS culture, which are unabashed, sometimes surprisingly sexually intimated.Īt Swig, for example, there’s “The Founder,” a drink made of Diet Coke, sugar-free coconut, fresh lime and coconut cream. Offshoots with names like Sodalicious, Twisted Sugar and Fiiz cropped up across Utah soon after and have expanded across the country. According to The New York Times, after brainstorming possible business ideas, Tanner was inspired by a trip to the drive-in fast-food chain Sonic to develop a drive-by soda shop. Who gets credit for creating the beverage remains up for debate, but Swig, a pioneer in the dirty soda world, was founded by Nicole Tanner in 2010 in Saint George, Utah. According to the New York Times, some drinks pack as many as 1,000 calories. With many members now quenching their thirst with cans of cola, the demand for bubbly beverages - like dirty soda - erupted. ![]() It’s no coincidence that the drink became a mainstay of the Utahan zeitgeist around the same time. In 2012, however, the church clarified that its health practices do not mention the use of caffeine. Historically, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) have adhered to church doctrine, which requires them to abstain from " hot drinks" like coffee and tea. Swig's menu includes cheekily named drinks like Life's a Peach, which includes Dr Pepper, vanilla, peach and half-and-half. They're concoctions made of a soda of your choosing, cream, sometimes fruit, and flavored syrups like vanilla or cranberry and, according to some, a believer’s godsend. Imagine a cross between a Shirley Temple and an egg cream. Called "dirty soda," the carbonated drinks have become an all-out craze on the social media platform.

From there, I was like, ‘this is 100 percent what I want to do.’” “I was able to see how it happens, how reporters interact with editors. “It was right around deadline so you would see all these reporters that I’d been reading since I was a kid,” says Kanno-Youngs, who grew up in Cambridge. Kanno-Youngs also worked nights at the city desk, where he listened to police scanners, covered crime, and learned how a newsroom operates on deadline. That’s where he says he learned how to manage his own beat and handle the responsibility of telling stories fairly and accurately. He says he solidified his desire to be a reporter while working at the Globe. Journalism student earns reporting fellowship with New York TimesĮvery reporting experience at Northeastern taught him new lessons about the craft of journalism that he says he’s been able to apply to his work at the Times. “Any bit of journalism I could get, I was tapping into,” he says. He covered high school sports as a co-op at The Boston Globe wrote about culture and entrepreneurship as an intern at The Cape Times in South Africa and edited feature stories for The Huntington News, Northeastern’s student-run paper. Kanno-Youngs credits his experiences at Northeastern with helping him find his career path. “In terms of what I’m working on now, a lot of it is immigration and everything going on at the border.” ![]() “I think it’s the most important story in the country right now,” says Kanno-Youngs, who graduated from Northeastern in 2016 with a degree in journalism. Since he landed the job in March, he’s covered the conditions within migrant detention centers along the border and the ongoing Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids to deport people living in the United States without the proper documentation. The front-page story typifies Kanno-Young’s experience as a reporter for the Times. Two weeks after he surveyed the scene on the Rio Grande, his story on the dangers of crossing the river ran on the front page of The New York Times under the headline ‘ Death on Rio Grande: A Perilous Migrant Route. I mean you see these families that are describing the situations they’re escaping from, and for them it’s worth it because they see the United States as a sanctuary, as a safe haven that they need.” Kanno-Young’s recalls that the bank of the river was littered with clothing that migrants had lost during the crossing. The Rio Grande, which forms the border between Texas and Mexico, is known for having strong undercurrents, sharp rocks, and a 6-foot-long alligator that lurks beneath the surface. Kanno-Youngs, the homeland security correspondent for The New York Times and a Northeastern graduate, went to Del Rio, Texas, followed border patrol agents along the riverbank, and witnessed families cross the treacherous river. Zolan Kanno-Youngs credits his co-op experiences at Northeastern with helping him find his career path. ![]() Don't want in opening hand, and only run as a target, tbh.Īgain, only 1, but it is super good when you SS with Abyssteus.

![]() Performance-wise, the 15-inch Air is also essentially identical to the smaller model. That said, for most users, there's plenty of power here. It's worth noting that while single-core performance is similar to the 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M2 Max chip, multi-core and graphics performance is where the M2 can't quite keep up. The same goes for Cinebench R23 and a few others we tried. Geekbench 5 scores were almost the same as those we got when testing both the 13-inch Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro, both of which also use the M2 chip. ![]() The butterfly keyboard debacle is fortunately a distant memory. The keyboard, large trackpad and Touch ID sensor are all excellent, which is true of all Mac laptops at this point. The laptop comes in the same four colors (or, more accurately, shades of gray). It has the same relatively meager port selection: just two USB-C ports, MagSafe for power and a headphone jack. Cranking the volume up to the max reveals the lack of bass, but I was happy to listen to music at mid-range volume all day long.īeyond those things, the 15-inch Air is just a slightly bigger version of the 13-inch model. But the speakers in the Air still sound lively and fun to listen to. They’re not nearly as good as the ones in the 16-inch MacBook Pro, but that laptop is significantly thicker and heavier than the Air that extra space surely helps with resonance and bass. Apple has been making surprisingly excellent laptop speakers for a few years now, and these also sound very lively and full when playing back music or movies. The 15-inch Air also has a six-speaker sound system with “force-canceling woofers” for improved bass, compared to a four-speaker setup in the smaller model. (The model I’m testing has 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, a configuration that costs $1,699.) The other internal specs are similar for both base models: 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The base 15-inch model comes with the 10-core GPU variant of the M2 to power the bigger display’s extra pixels the 13-inch has an 8-core GPU by default. The rest of the differences between the two Air models are minor. |
