Sometimes the best genre films are found in the most unexpected places, like in a story of kids who are orphaned a skechers sicherheitsschuhe s the result of violent gang wars in the slums of Mexico. Thats the setting for Issa Lopezs Tigers Are Not Afraid, a jaw-dropping film that blends reality and the supernatural in an absolutely beautiful way. It feels like a spiritual sequel to Guillermo del Toros The聽Devils Backbone or Pans Labyrinth, except with a more modern, realistic setting. [Click here to see io9 statement on this years Fantastic Fest.] Estrella is a young girl whose mother mysteriously goes missing. With nowhere else to turn, she attempts to find companionship, and food, with a group of boys who have also lost their families. The boys live on a roof, steal to survive, and find solace in each other. Thats the horrible, real-world setting of Lopezs film. A world where gangsters rule w mizuno volleyballschuhe ith their trigger fingers and trade not only in drugs, but in human beings too. A world where moms, dads, brothers, and sisters can just disappear at any moment, leaving the survivors to fend for themselves. To deal with this horrible reality, most of the kids latch on to fantasy. They regularly tell fairy tales to one another鈥攕tories about princes, fairies, and especially about tigers.

Googles Chrome OS Flex has officially arrived to rejuvenate old PCs and Macs, by t air max 1 urning them into Chromebooks. Eventually, your Mac or PC will struggle to run after being bogged down with software or crippled from wear and tear following extensive use. It could take a few y uggs barn ears or a decade, depending on various factors, but there is practically no escaping the inevitable. Instead of repurposing or recycling your aging system, you can now use Chrome OS Flex to convert a PC/Mac i nike dunk low nto a Chromebook. Why would that be any better Because, like ChromeOS, Flex is a lightweight cloud-based operating system that doesnt require the most advanced components to run smoothly. Google claims the OS will boot quickly, receive the same update cadence as Chrome OS, and provide access to the Chrome browser, Google Assistant, and other features Family Link accounts, Smart Lock, Instant Tethering, and Nearby Share , all from the same UI as Chrome OS. Its also easy to manage, and ID admins can effortlessly upgrade to Chrome OS devices when the time comes. Keep in mind that Chrome OS Flex is primarily meant for businesses and schools running large fleets of old Windows PCs, including those from Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, LG, and others. It also works with Macs, including some that are up to 10 years old. An early access preview for Chrome OS Flex went live earlier this year and alerted Google to some 600 bugs.

For years, Google has been trying to reduce how much space images take up on the web. Most of those efforts have been based around its proprietary and largely ignored by non-Google entities WebP format, but a new project out of the companys re adidas originals samba search and open source divisions could help make JPEG images鈥攐ne of the most common image formats on the planet鈥攗p to 35 percent smaller, while retaining their quality. The project is an image encoder called Guetzli which is Swiss German for cookie; the project was born out of Google Researchs Zurich office . In addition to making image files that are smaller, Guetzli is also focused on creating images that look better than other compressed images, too. Check out these comparisons Google offered up to show Guetzli compared to an uncompressed image or an image compressed using the common libjpeg encoder. In fact, Google claims that its research shows that even when image file sizes are the same meaning the libjpeg files are encoded in a higher quality setting, resulting in larger file sizes , human raters like the Guetzli images better. The more important thing, however, as Ars Technica notes, is that Guetzli works with the web browsers and file formats we already have. Other attempts at maki salomon ng images smaller have all relied on building new image formats that never get broad enough support to actually take off.

Now, material scientists hoka laufschuhe have tweaked an iron-aluminum alloy at the nano-scale to make a material that as strong and light as titanium, another expensive material, but just a tenth of the cost. A team from Pohang University of Science and Technology, in South Korea have manipulated the structure of an iron-aluminum alloy to create a new kind of material that could find application in everything from bicycles to airplanes.

But a new analysis of 13 cloned sheep鈥攊ncluding a batch of Dollys genetic duplicates鈥攕hows this isnt the case.

The National Portrait Gallery of Washington, D.C., is currently displaying a psychological thriller of a painting: Untitled, Jeffrey P. Bezos, 2019.

Sometimes you can learn more from a bad movie than a good one. And certain atrocious films have become cultural touchstones, influencing generations of creators and spawning endless memes. So here are 10 really awful science fiction and fantasy movies that everybody should watch at least once. 1 Dragonball Evolution We recently rewatched this film, at the io9 fortress of media omnivorousness, and it actually much worse than we remembered. It so terrible, that it ought to be taught in film schools all over the world. Not just as an example of how not to translate a beloved artifact from another culture into a Western context, or turning animation into live-action, but also just as an example of squandered potential. Chow Yun-Fat brings so much good nature and zaniness to this film, and the rest of the cast tries their best. But what absolutely kills this movie dead salomon winterschuhe is the lack of a str adidas originals donna ong villain 鈥?James Marsters, encased in latex, can barely move or speak, and he only on screen for about five minutes. And the fact that it simultaneously takes a dump on the anime mythos and also lectures you about it, simultaneously. When Goku starts turning into Oozaru at the end, you ;ll have no clue what that supposed to mean, but you ;ll be very annoyed. 2 The Lovely Bones Continuing the theme mizuno of terrible adaptations 鈥?in our imaginary film-school class, Peter Jackson The Lovely Bones would be shown back-to-back with Guillermo
