![]() Waves is a light comedy of teenage manners based on Saeko Himuro's novel ( Umi ga kikoeru, lit. I mentioned Only Yesterday, but My Neighbors The Yamadasalso fits. Originally released in 1993, Ocean Waves is one of a clutch of movies produced by Ghibli that is not fantasy, but unpretentiously rooted in everyday life. © 2002 Saeko Himuro - Studio Ghibli - N Scoping out the new girl. Is it essential viewing? Not really, not in the same way Princess Mononokeor My Neighbor Totoro are. And like Only Yesterday, it's worth forgetting that this is a Studio Ghibli film, because I worry that imposes unrealistic expectations about its quality, intentions, and end results. I remember as a kid when I couldn't go to sleep I would sneak downstairs whilst it was still dark outside and the whole street was silent and I'd put the TV on and watch movies and shows that I'd never seen before, most of them black and white, I don't even remember the names of them, and like that one face you saw in the street that you can't quite forget, the film haunts you, years later still lingering in the back of my head, and when I think of the film, I'm suddenly transported back to the first time I watched it.Ocean Waves, like Only Yesterday before it, is one of a handful of Studio Ghibli films that are only just now seeing their first releases in the United States. I think being a little older I was able to appreciate the film more, it's quaint and uneventful, and that's what makes it so appealing and relatable. The film is stylish too, the whole canvas has this hue to it that almost makes it more dreamlike, and the characters are grounded and normal and yet cool at the same time and the soundtrack is a favourite of mine. My younger brother watched it with me a few years ago and he hated it, but I quite like the film myself, and it's funny because the feelings that you used to describe it mirror my own, the film just exudes this warmth as it welcomes you into this world that feels so nostalgic. But this was much more grown up and grounded by comparison.Īnyway I liked Ocean Waves and will certainly be picking up the Blu Ray.īut like the title of this thread asks I'm curious why so many seemingly don't like it? Anyone here feel that way and if so why? Not since Tales of Earthsea have I seen a Ghibli film with such a mixed reaction. ![]() Mochizuki the director also did KOR and I certainly felt abit of that background in the film and especially some of the characterizations. Also at just 72 minutes it was so short that it didn't come close to outstaying it's welcome, in fact I didn't want it to end. I always enjoy timeskips like that in Anime. It was fun seeing all the characters grown up like that. I think the film elevated even further for me with the short timeskip towards the end bringing the story all back around. It was pretty fluffy in that regard but I liked it, certainly gave me a warm fuzzy feeling while watching it. ![]() This isn't the great love story of our time or anything, it's just a subtle warm tale about growing up, friendship and romance. I liked the love triangle and didn't find it frustrating or annoying, maybe Rikako annoyed some but she was interesting to me even if she wasn't totally realistic. I really enjoyed the film, I loved seeing a Ghibli take on modern Japan with zero fantasy because even Whisper of the Heart had abit of that. ![]() It was alot better than I had heard as most on my MAL friends list rated it between 4-6/10. Watched Ocean Waves last night for the first time.

Constantly having to revive teammates who dont try to avoid it's attacks while I barely got any time to fire my Fluctus. Managed to beat Profit taker on the first attempt and it was pretty rough. I believe it's the slowest of all the whip style weapons. Galvachord: I hate whips and this one doesn't seem too great. Also has a Vazarin polarity on it for some reason. Fun for relic runs where you don't have to reload though. Maybe my opinion of it will change once I fully mod it and try it on higher level targets instead of relic mobs. My issue is the slightly faster reload is offset by the fact you can only fire one shot of this vs the Tigris' duplex fire. It's like a Tigris Prime with slightly more status. Unless you're playing solo, his restraint meter takes forever to deplete before you can use his 4, and his 4 doesn't seem to do a whole lot other than knock enemies around a lot.Įxergis: I REALLY wanted to like this gun just on the design alone.

While it's not really worth the cost, if you have a bunch of things you need to level and dump, getting the booster for free can really help. Pyra Sugatra: One of the few (maybe the only?) free sugatra, it's not too bad! It does tend to get twisted around on itself though, and that can look a little goofy, but I think it's worth a buy if you're looking for something dangly for your weapons.Īffinity booster: Big maybe. Take a careful look at that preview and decide for yourself if you like it. Ki'teer Atmos Diadem: I love this thing, but fair warning that it is gigantic on your kiddo's forehead.

A brief overview of its trading markets detailing (and I use that word incredibly lightly) how I could earn my money was thoroughly useless, whittling down its only objective-buying and selling farmed goods-to a few lines of text. After being given a tutorial of how the game’s basic machinery worked, Farming Simulator 15 shoved me into the deep end. It certainly isn’t because of its user-friendliness. But why have so many been convinced that Farming Simulator 15 and its predecessors are worthy of their money, so much so that the game now-and unfortunately I’m not making this up-sits behind The Witcher 3 in the UK’s video game sales charts? An awful game that, by virtue of it becoming inexplicably popular among YouTubers, has garnered far more attention than it deserves. But simply writing Farming Simulator 15 off as mundane would be to suggest that it is middling yet inoffensive, which absolutely isn’t the case. It’s the Farming Simulator of old with a fresh lick of paint… only that lick of paint isn’t so much fresh as it is a flaking, dull shade of beige. ![]() If you are familiar with the Farming Simulator series, then its latest entry won’t exactly bowl you over with its ingenuity. That trend continues in Farming Simulator 15. Unfortunately, the Farming Simulator series has never really concerned itself with being a decent simulation of farming, let alone a decent game. While its core concept is still ripe for mocking, Euro Truck Simulator has proven that, amidst all of the dire PC simulation games that unsuccessfully attempt to occupy that “so bad it’s funny” market that is now so prominent on Steam, engrossing games can still be made out of even the most seemingly mundane of subjects. However, that franchise has done a great deal of justice to their profession due to the high level of care and attention that has been put into replicating the intricacies of their job, from its meticulously recreated vehicles through to the gorgeous presentation that’s been put into its cargo routes. The same could be said for truck drivers, who saw their occupation become the subject of a video game in the form of the Euro Truck Simulator series. If it wasn’t enough that farming is no longer as lucrative a profession as it once was, now they have to contend with a bunch of people who play video games-a medium which requires its participants to sit on their buttocks for extended periods of time doing nothing but twiddling analog sticks around on a chunk of plastic-branding their livelihood “boring.” The general reaction to the existence of Giants Software’s Farming Simulator series makes me feel sorry for real-life farmers. As appetizing as freshly-laid fertilizer. ![]() Metasploit is an open-source project, but it is sponsored by Rapid7, which provides the extra features in Metasploit Pro. Metasploit Pro’s features that aren’t available in the free version are geared toward automated vulnerability scanning. Metasploit is available as a paid product, called Metasploit Pro, and a free system called Metasploit Framework. Here are some of the most essential tools in the package: 1. However, you can get more details about Kali Linux and its tools package in the Kali Linux Cheat Sheet. Lack of space prevents all tools from being described here in this review. Thus, the two systems present the same information but in a different format. In each list, the name of the tool is a link through to a description page. The second is a list of tools, ordered alphabetically. The first is a summary of each tool, with the list of tools grouped by type. There are two listings of the tools contained in Kali Linux available on the Kali project website. It is possible to just use the operating system through its graphical user interface or the command line. Users of Kali Linux don’t need to be working in cybersecurity. “The quieter you become, the more you can hear.” Kali Linux is an operating system, just like Debian. The original version is Kali 1.0.0 moto the second version is Kali 2019.4 the latest version is Kali 2020.3. Since its launch in 2013, Kali has been updated with new versions in 20. This resulted in the creation of Kali Linux. Mati Aharoni led an Offensive Security team in a redevelopment project for BackTrack. Unfortunately, this is one of the toughest accreditations to get because it requires the participant to pass an exam that includes a real-world hacking challenge, requiring the applicant to break into a test system maintained by Offensive Security. Offensive Security runs its certification program, called Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP). The firm offers penetration testing services, security consultancy, and training for pen testers. ![]() The company changed its name to Offensive Security Services, LLC in 2012. The business took over responsibility for managing BackTrack. This enterprise was registered as Offensive Security LLC in 2008. Although many descriptions of Kali Linux state that the bundle now includes 600 tools, the Kali Linux site only lists 300.Īround the time that Aharoni was creating BackTrack, he set up a cybersecurity consultancy called Offensive Security. This was a package of 300 free tools that Max Moser had selected. The tools package was called the Auditor Security Collection. Aharoni later altered this Linux implementation to a system called WHAX, which was based on Slax, another CDROM-based system that was a version of Debian. Knoppix and Whoppix ran the operating system off a CD ROM. This was a bundle of penetration testing tools packaged in with a version of Linux, called Whoppix, which was based on a distro called Knoppix, which, in turn, was a derivative of Debian. It dates back to 2006 when Mati Aharoni created a package called BackTrack. The history of Kali’s creation is complicated. ![]() Kali Linux was first released on 13 March 2013. In all instances, the free versions are included in the Kali package – you don’t get any tools for free that are usually offered for a price by their original suppliers. Some tools are available in free and paid versions from their source, while others are just free. All of the tools included with the Kali bundle are available independently. This is because it would be impossible to acquire familiarity with and work knowledge of so many tools. It is unlikely that anyone will ever use all 300 tools. So, there are groups of tools, with all of the members of each group offering very similar functionality. For example, in the world of penetration testing tools, a number of the systems included with Kali Linux compete against each other. Although there are so many tools, they don’t all offer different functions. There are about 300 tools included with Kali Linux in addition to the utilities usually found within any Linux distro. In addition, Kali Linux includes a package of penetration testing tools. ![]() One example of this phenomenon is the Windows Defender firewall, a handy feature that is not traditionally thought of as a regular part of an operating system. Many operating systems have utilities built-in and are delivered for free. This distro is unique because it doesn’t just offer an operating system. Kali Linux has a graphical user interface to host point-and-click software packages, and it offers an experience similar to Windows. It is available in many different versions called “distros” and Kali Linux is one of them. The Linux operating system is free to acquire and use. ![]() On average, a “good” shutter count on mid-level to professional gear is around 30,000 to 50,000. Mirrorless systems have ratings ranging from 200,000 to 500,000 shutter actuations on average. As well as this, the design is far more upgraded and efficient. Mirrorless systems will last a bit longer than DSLRs with the shutter because it doesn’t always open and close, as these systems have both a mechanical shutter and an electronic shutter. Introductory or consumer cameras will have the lowest shutter count life expectancy (in the 50,000 range), mid-level will play around in the 150,000 range, and high-end professional equipment will have significantly more. This is a big range difference, so we can break it down further.Įvery camera has its own specific shutter life expectancy, but we can generalize it based on camera tier. The shutter count life expectancy is, essentially, when your camera is due for an “oil change.” This helps remedy any potential issues you may encounter and keeps your gear in tip-top shape for future photo shoots.Īs a very general statement, shutter count life expectancy on DSLR cameras can range from 50,000 to 350,000 shutter actuations. After you’ve reached a certain number of photographs, it’s a good idea to do a wellness check on your camera. Very similar to hitting a specific mileage on a car until the maintenance light turns on. ![]() Whether you’re simply trying to maintain your own equipment or you’re purchasing used gear, being aware of the camera’s shutter count will provide a lot of useful information about its life expectancy. The shutter is a moving component, and like most moving components, it can be prone to wear and tear over time. This counts the amount of time the shutter has opened and closed its “door.” The shutter opening and closing are known as a shutter actuation, so shutter counts are listed in terms of shutter actuations. In the most layman’s terms possible, the shutter count on a camera is the number of times the camera has taken a photograph. Let’s get started! What Is Shutter Count On A Camera? Some can be deduced from the image file number, and others require a third-party program to access this information. Like maintenance on a car, doing proper checks on your equipment mitigates the chance of something going wrong during an important photo shoot!Īs much as we all wish it was streamlined, each camera has a different way of checking the shutter count. ![]() Moving components like your shutter aren’t built to last indefinitely (even though it may seem like it). The shutter is one of the priciest components on a camera to fix, so knowing where your shutter count is can be pretty important. ![]() TasksBoard / TaskBoard complies with privacy laws (especially GDPR) to protect your data.

ExxonMobil ultimately agreed to pay $6 million in fines for its criminal violations of the Clean Water Act. The spill was blamed on faulty valves and lax oversight – both of which the company were aware. In 2006, 15,000 gallons of diesel oil spilled into the Mystic River from the company’s Everett facility – and the company only realized there was a problem when the Coast Guard came knocking at their door. It’s the most urbanized watershed in Massachusetts and one of the most polluted.ĮxxonMobil’s record as a responsible corporate neighbor to lower Mystic communities is already tarnished. A great blue heron gracefully taking flight contrasts sharply with hulking freighters offloading oil and other cargo. What’s at StakeĪ boat trip through the Mystic River Watershed – which spans 76 square miles and 22 communities north of Boston – reveals scenery both beautiful and troubling. Building on several national investigations against ExxonMobil, our lawsuit sets the precedence for the dynamic role of local advocacy in holding big polluters accountable. We are at a major tipping point in ending the fossil fuel era. To hold ExxonMobil accountable for this inaction, CLF launched the United States’ first legal action against the corporate giant for its climate deceit and for clean water act violations at its oil storage facility in Everett, which sits on the Mystic River. This failure to act put local communities at risk of catastrophic releases of oil and hazardous substances – events more and more likely given the extreme weather and bigger storms already experienced by New Englanders every year. ![]() Our investigation revealed that, despite knowing the harm climate change could cause, ExxonMobil left its oil storage facilities in Everett, Massachusetts, and elsewhere vulnerable to flooding from storms and rising seas.
