E-Mail: [email protected] Video Description: As someone fascinated by engineering, I still remember the day I saw the Airbus A380 take off on one of it’s first flights. Seeing the giant double-deck, four engine jet airliner fly close by was one of those cool moments where a technology surpassed all my expectations of what can be possible. And so, early this year, I was shocked to hear that Airbus will completely end production on the A380 by 2021. The question that remains is whether we should therefore think of the A380 as a failure. Because even though it simply isn’t lucrative enough for business considerations, this does not change the engineering achievement of constructing a plane of this size. And there have been no incidents leading to fatalities, more serious injuries or crashes with the A380. Music from Artlist.io Further Information at the end of the video.

For many countries, the Republic of Djibouti has become the central anchor point in the region. It hosts military bases from France, the United States, Japan, Italy and, since 2017, China. No other country in the world has so many foreign bases. The fact that so many countries want to be present here has to do with the location, which is important for a lot of reasons. And it is one rare spot where the US and China, two nations tangled in a growing rivalry, are just 10 kilometres apart from each other.

It can help us better understand the current developments and conflicts underway. The amount of light pollution is most severe in heavily populated areas, as well as in regions of high prosperity. In Europe, the Benelux region and the densely populated Po-Valley are so bright, that the individual towns blend into one big sea of light. Especially in the Arab world, the extraction of oil creates bright lights from the flaring of gas. And in Africa, you can trace the path of the Nile River, which, as the lifeline of egypt, attracts civilization and is filled with commercial boats. This image points to the global challenges posed by the steadily increasing world population. And while man-made borders can not be seen during the day, the lines of political origin become apparent at night, but appear all the more absurd and artificial. When viewed during daylight, the human influence on our planet is less obvious. But this single image highlights the social divides and political strife from both the past and the present.

The initial scope of the types of topics were very limited but now has expanded. The channel was thought to deal primarily with analysing films but now they have become more political. And the name should have the flexibility to fit for both aspects, as well as for any genres in the future that I can’t even think of right now. And with this new name, it feels right to approach the next goals and really develope the channel into something exciting. Thanks for your understanding.

Video Description: Have you ever heard about Quaggas? As their distribution in southern Africa was very limited and they were easy to find and kill, it became vulnerable to extinction ever since dutch colonists settled in south Africa, who started hunting them for their meat or for their skin. In 1883, the last know Quagga died in the Zoo of Amsterdam and it was believed to have joined the many species, with no chance of ever returning. But now, more than a century later, the Quagga is back

VIDEO DESCRIPTION: On February 6, SpaceX launched their new “Falcon Heavy” Rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. In a spectacular and very media-effective stunt they sent a “midnight-cherry-red" Tesla Roadster as test-payload on it’s way into deep space. The rocket has the ability to put more than 140,000 pounds of cargo into the lower earth orbit, much more than anyone has commercially requested them to do. That makes it by far the most powerful operational rocket in the world. And SpaceX is already developing an even more powerful one. The BFR, which will be more than 106 meters high and carry up to 550,000 pounds into Lower Earth Orbit. MUSIC from Artlist.io First song is a cover of “Life on Mars” that I recorded myself.

VIDEO DESCRIPTION: Because the contradictions between official state ideology and reality could not be bigger, it is hard to get a good understanding of what life in North Korea is like. And as a source for what daily life in North Korea is like, all we have are the storys from North Korean defectors. Because of the limited information we get, there are countless of false assumptions and North Korea is portrayed as this bizarre and odd place. However, the worldview that drives the state rarely gets attention, which makes discussing how to deal with the country absurd, without first studying it’s ideology.

This video on Putin is a political video and therefore can not be monetized on Youtube. Donate one coffee: https://www.paypal.me/societyofgeeks/3 UPDATE: There is a mistake with the years on the graph. Every "line" stands for 3 years. Therefore the wording of the year 2000 and 1959 are wrong. It should be 1998 instead of 2000 and 1995 instead of 1959. Also, companys should be companies. I hope that explains it. VIDEO DESCRIPTION: This video features a short biography of Putin as well as a in depth-documentary about how Putin is changing Russia. At the end of every year Forbes magazine publishes a list of the world's most Powerful People. In the current list, third place goes to Angela Merkel, second place to Donald Trump, and the first place to Vladimir Putin. Who in fact has been leading the list since the year 2013. And that is in many ways surprising. So why is the President so powerful? And how is Vladimir Putin transforming Russia and the world? Putin is challenging the European Union as well as the United States in major conflicts of war in Ukraine and Syria. In Ukraine he has annexed the Crimean Peninsula and is fighting a war in the eastern part of the country. In Syria he is supporting the government lead by Assad. And is fighting the rebels that were backed by the United States.The focus here in this documentary is on domestic policy and russias strengths and weaknesses. But if you wanna know more about Russias involvement in the conflicts in Ukraine and Syria, check out the videos we’ve made earlier about those wars. It will be interesting how the future relations will be. What does Putin think of Trump and how will the relationship between the United States and Russia develope in the future? This video was not made to promote a certain opinion on Vladimir Putin. It was made to show the realities of how he is transforming Russia and the world.

DESCRIPTION:Christmas has become a holiday that is now in many places more than just a religious festival. And this has positive sides and negative ones. It is often criticized how the spirit of the holiday is lost, and has changed to consumption of unnecessary goods. At the same time, for many people, who may not even be christians, the holiday is a time for the family to come together. Merry Christmas! And Happy Holiday!

How did the war break out and which countries are involved in it. The future developments in Ukraine will be significantly important for the relationship between the European Union, the United States and Russia and whether the heavy amount of outside interests from all sides on the country is promoting peace, may be up for debate. Ultimately the citizens will have hard choices to make in the future. To choose between Nato and Russia. To choose between the European Union and the Eurasion Union and to choose between the countrys unity or separation, no matter what happens, it will affect us all. Narrated by Emsoc.

Annotations in the video show the final result. This is a short and quick episode of Society of Geeks where we look at some of the reasons why the electoral map turned out the way it did. People are confused about Trumps campaign slogan "make america great again". Because america is stronger than ever before, by every measure, the economy, the military capabilities and so on. However, this video tries to find the part of america that has it's best time behind it. The middle class manufacturing and industry sector. This video tries to be neutral on the election, it is really about the reasons why people voted for trump, not any statement about the candidate. Music in this video used: 911 Beats, with "I Got Money"" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igXk7fzgODk and 911 Beats with "The End" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSQaX4xuZrg I received permission from the artist to use the tracks.

These videos do take a lot of time and so they will always be about whatever I am interested about in that moment. This time, it is the Syrian civil war, and my goal was to make a short video that provides all the information important to understand the basic conflicts. I know that it is a controversial topic, and I tried to keep this video as neutral and informative as possible. It is not complete, the war is very complex, but I tried to provide a good starting point for everyone to do further research. I named the series of this video "Mapped" because I will explain a lot from satelitte perspective. Note that this is heavily influenced by the ARTE series "Mit offenen Karten", which you can check out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMEC5... Also make sure you check out Aeham Ahmad, the syrian piano player featured in this video: http://www.aeham-ahmad.com/en/ I am also starting a twitter channel where I will post additional maps and statistics to the topics of my videos.

In this video I explore one theme of Interstellar, the death of celluloid and analog film production. I am not the first to notice this. Check out these great articles: http://www.redsharknews.com/productio... http://www.vulture.com/2014/11/inters... http://www.slashfilm.com/quentin-tara... Interstellar is meant to leave questions unanswered. to be kafkaesque - a term names after the german author Franz Kafka, that describes an artwork "that straddles fantasy and reality, and [keeps] a sense of striving even in the face of bleakness“ (Joe Fassler) It's a movie that is hopelessly and full of hope at the same time. Interstellar about the end of earth, and the end of film, yet it celebrates celluloid, like no other current production. with the movie being shot entirely on film. It is a literal RAGE, a RAGE against the DYING of the LIGHT. If you liked the analysis with my thoughts on the movie, make sure to subscribe, it's the best way to support me.
