They fed not on flesh, but one's very life energy. Insectile in form and ravenous in intent, their unique brand of magic made them a cut above your normal predator. They were considered monsters, and for good reason. But sightings were inevitable, legends cropped up, and stories were told. They were barely more than a distant, forgotten memory of a race.

The pale phosphorescence of the carvings gleaming on his naked limbs, Tsabrak spat venom onto his blade. She spat at the van, watched the spittle hit pavement, freeze into a lump of pearlized glue chip. The next Mong, who had been waiting patiently, squatting with his hands bound behind him, spat in contempt and moved, into place at the edge of the ditch.įergus Appleton is a fine-looking guy of maybe forty, with iron-gray hair that makes him appear very romantic, and he is always well dressed in spats and one thing and another, and he smokes cigarettes in a holder nearly a foot long, and wears a watch on one wrist and a slave bracelet on the other, and a big ring on each hand, and sometimes a monocle in one eye, although Ambrose Hammer claims that this is strictly the old ackamarackuss.

They are dying out day by day in such manner that I fear greatly to see these illustrious fragments of the ancient breviary spat upon, staled upon, set at naught, dishonoured, and blamed, the which I should be loath to see, since I have and bear great respect for the refuse of our Gallic antiquities.

While he didn’t pursue acting, he has another uncredited role in a movie in which his mother doubled Curtis: he plays a caroler in Christmas with the Kranks. She agreed, and he got the role.Ĭlayton still has a fake brick from the Myers house basement as a memento. Noticing his resemblance to the young Michael in the original Halloween prologue, the casting team approached Keegan about with the idea. He was spotted at a casting office while his mother was in a meeting. Gary Clayton, who appears uncredited as young Michael in the photos found in the Myers house, is Keegan’s son. Young Michael Myers was played by Curtis’ stunt double’s son Their final collaboration was 2010’s You Again, after which Keegan’s accumulative injuries forced her into retirement.ĥ. She went on to work with her in Halloween H20 and Resurrection, along with the likes of True Lies, Freaky Friday, and Virus. In a matter of months, Keegan was doubling Curtis on 1993’s Mother’s Boy. Curtis remarked that Keegan looked just like her and, upon learning that she did stunts, told her to contact her agent. Keegan was at the Jonathan Club – an illustrious private beach club in Santa Monica – as a guest when she bumped into the scream queen in the bathroom. Jamie Lee Curtis met her stunt double in a bathroomĭonna Keegan had been told she looked like Jamie Lee Curtis since the release of the original Halloween, but it was a chance encounter with the actress in the early ’90s that led to her being her longtime stunt double. Alas, Rob Zombie’s remake put a halt to a direct continuation of the Resurrection storyline.Ĥ. “Because the house is iconic and the idea that we might one day come back to the house.” That meant everything in the garage set needed to be able to be burned safely and efficiently, including making shelves out of balsa wood and painting rope to look like cables. “We didn’t want to burn the house,” explains Hansen. Resurrection‘s fiery finale occurring in the garage rather than the Myers house was a pragmatic decision. The filmmakers didn’t want to destroy the Myers house in case there was another sequel Hansen studied screen grabs from the original Halloween in an effort to recreate the house as accurately as possible.ģ. Due to spatial limitations, it consisted of five separate sets: first floor, second floor, basement, attic, and the full-scale exterior. The production originally sought an existing house on location in Vancouver that could be augmented, but the decision was ultimately made to build it on a sound stage. Resurrection saw the Halloween franchise return to the Myers house. The Myers house consisted of five separate sets on a sound stage One might assume that the headsets were merely props, but they were fully functional, and footage shot by the actors was used in the final film.Ģ. In addition to the main film camera – with up to three in use at a time – there were also mounted surveillance cameras and the actors’ headset cameras. “We had a video village that was just miles and miles of cable where there was something like 20 monitors of all the different feeds,” recalls production designer Troy Hansen. The reality TV angle was an interesting (and ahead-of-its-time) plot point, but the number of cameras involved complicated the shoot. Actors shot their own headset camera footage Scream Factory’s The Halloween 4K Collection (1995-2002) 4K Ultra HD box set boasts new interviews with several Resurrection cast and crew members that were produced by Justin Beahm’s Reverend Entertainment. 20 years later, defenders of the oft-maligned sequel finally have some new insight into the production.

Hence, it doesn't rely on the operating system and it isn't exposed to vulnerabilities that might exist in the operating system or application software.įor info about which versions of Windows support which versions of the TPM, see Trusted Platform Module technology overview. The TPM uses its own internal firmware and logic circuits to process instructions. Keys can be sealed to the TPM, and certain assurances about the state of a system (assurances that define the trustworthiness of a system) can be made before the keys are unsealed and released for use. With a TPM, private portions of key pairs are kept separate from the memory that is controlled by the operating system. With this sealed key and software, such as BitLocker Drive Encryption, you can lock data until specific hardware or software conditions are met. The TPM can also seal and unseal data that is generated outside the TPM. This process is referred to as “sealing the key to the TPM.” Decrypting the key is called unsealing. This type of key can be unwrapped only when those platform measurements have the same values that they had when the key was created. If you specify that encryption keys cannot be migrated, the private portion of the key is never exposed outside the TPM.Ĭomputers that incorporate a TPM can also create a key that is wrapped and tied to certain platform measurements. If you specify that they can be migrated, the public and private portions of the key can be exposed to other components, software, processes, or users. You can specify whether encryption keys that are created by the TPM can be migrated or not. The private portion of a storage root key or endorsement key that is created in a TPM is never exposed to any other component, software, process, or user. Each TPM has a master wrapping key, called the storage root key, which is stored within the TPM itself. This process, often called wrapping or binding a key, can help protect the key from disclosure. The TPM is installed on the motherboard of a computer, and it communicates with the rest of the system by using a hardware bus.Ĭomputers that incorporate a TPM can create cryptographic keys and encrypt them so that they can only be decrypted by the TPM.

However in the reload Jeb appears about a meter to the left of the lander and promptly falls to the ground and dies.

I recently reloaded a quicksave instead of creating one by accident. I'm fairly new to the game so please bare with me. Training program improved after we got a new team lead Had some fun work events (though my department was so busy we couldn’t participate, or if we did it would add to our already extreme amounts of overtime) Meanwhile, she would take LENGTHY lunches, come and as she pleased, and stand around the department e. If they were 3 - 5 minutes over she'd talk about them behind their backs and if she felt it was becoming too frequent (we're talking literally 3-5 minutes) she'd snidely mention it to them. They would talk about other people behind their backs (one manager would put jelly beans out in the department and then she would talk trash about other women that she thought were eating too many jelly beans! The pettiness doesn't end there! Even though she took it upon herself to buy the jellybeans and put them in the MIDDLE of the department, she was so petty she put a sign up requesting donations to refill the jelly bean dispenser! This woman made more than $90K a year and was petty and would talk trash about a nice lady from the lab over JELLY BEANS! She would also write down the exact minute others would leave for lunch as well as the minute they returned. Up until I worked there, I had always had male bosses and I can say without a doubt that working for the two female managers here was the worst 6 months of my life. I am a woman, and honestly it was the first time I had female bosses and boy did I learn some unpleasant lessons. At first things were great but I soon learned that I worked for the worst department due to the two-faced petty and ridiculously moody managers that were on power trips like I'd never experienced before. I worked in the Quality Assurance Department. The face of Quest isn't horrible though, properl. No culture in this position besides the 30 second conversations you give to other processors because you crave any human interaction after staring at a computer all day. Workplace culture: You work, you get your breaks, and that's about it. The supervisors and shift leaders who serve mostly as day-to-day supervisors and messengers for upper management were hit or miss (the three in this role when I left were fantastic!), but once it got above them, it was pretty universally unfortunate. Management: Simply put, I empathize for the supervisors and shift leads who serve as messengers, because they have to deliver very poor messages from upper management to the processors. This won't particularly translate to any job that isn't specific to data entry. I became very efficient at my job, putting up "astronomical numbers" according to multiple supervisors. What I learned: I didn't learn any valuable technical skills in this role. I had some other duties related to this, but generally my job can be described as putting barcodes on test tubes 400-600 times a day. Typical day: My main duty as a contract specimen processor was to enter data that processed COVID-19 samples. I would recommend reading the full thing, but if you can only read one portion, please read my final review and its bullets. At the end you will get the message I want to share to prospective hires. The first bit of this review is to satisfy the indeed prompted topics. They have a lot of employee turnover, but they do not disclose it and keep looking for lost souls who are. This is why they call it “on call”, because they do not want to pay you for your time working for the company. The company compensates you a very a small amount for canceled appointments, but it is not worth it and you have to fill out forms and wait for someone’s approval, which wastes more of your time. No one knows how much work will be available, when and even if there will be anything, because sometimes applicants do not show for the appointment or they cancel it. This also means that they can call you and rely on you all day long, but they will only pay you if work is assigned to you and completed according to very questionable rules. Plus, since they cannot guarantee any work schedule, they don’t hire full time or part time phlebotomists, but they very creatively call it “on call” position. The problem is that since the lab in Louisville is responsible for Kentucky and West Virginia, hiring of Mobile Examiners has to be done in a semi virtual form. It is a good merger, because Quest has the lab necessary for testing the blood specimens. It is some sort of telemarketing company, that is responsible for life insurance applicants’ medical exams at their homes. If there is any chance for Quest Diagnostics to completely fall of the boat, it is to have a subsidiary as ExamOne. The standards also lay out a vision of what it means to be a literate person who is prepared for success in the 21 st century. Common Core ELA Standards relate to Model UN can be found at the MUN Education. Students will learn to use cogent reasoning and evidence collection skills that are essential for success in college, career, and life. instruction of lesson material WE DO for group activities with students. They include critical-thinking skills and the ability to closely and attentively read texts in a way that will help them understand and enjoy complex works of literature. The skills and knowledge captured in the ELA/literacy standards are designed to prepare students for life outside the classroom. States determine how to incorporate these standards into their existing standards for those subjects or adopt them as content area literacy standards. It is important to note that the grade 6–12 literacy standards in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects are meant to supplement content standards in those areas, not replace them. Negative reactions to the Common Core State Standards capture the headlines, but many teachers in the trenches of education reform say the standards are here so they have to implement them one way or another. Beginning in grade 6, the literacy standards allow teachers of ELA, history/social studies, science, and technical subjects to use their content area expertise to help students meet the particular challenges of reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language in their respective fields. The College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards form the backbone of the ELA/literacy standards by articulating core knowledge and skills, while grade-specific standards provide additional specificity. For 20/year you can buy personal (not to be. Because students must learn to read, write, speak, listen, and use language effectively in a variety of content areas, the standards promote the literacy skills and concepts required for college and career readiness in multiple disciplines. Beginning in grade 6, the literacy standards allow teachers of ELA, history/social studies, science, and technical subjects to use their content area expertise. Free sample units, one per grade level, developed by teachers for teachers. The standards establish guidelines for English language arts (ELA) as well as for literacy in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects. This stresses critical-thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills that are required for success in college, career, and life. Students will be challenged and asked questions that push them to refer back to what they’ve read. The Common Core asks students to read stories and literature, as well as more complex texts that provide facts and background knowledge in areas such as science and social studies. The Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects (“the standards”) represent the next generation of K–12 standards designed to prepare all students for success in college, career, and life by the time they graduate from high school. LiteracyTA provides speaking and listening skills that Common Core educators use to teach Common Core Kindergarten Speaking and Listening Standards.

Composite manufacturers now admit that there are no "maintenance-free" decking materials of any kind. Routine cleaning and maintenance are required for both wood and composite decks. Home Depot, for example, claims that Trex Enhance "never needs staining", although Trex itself makes no such claim. Retailers and deck contractors, however, are often much more effusive. The term "weatherable", translated means "if you don't seal and stain it, it will turn gray and ugly over time", something Certainteed is not likely to come right out and say (hence the mysterious "weatherable"). Certainteed, for example, allows only that its EverNew ® 20 decking offers "weatherable low-maintenance design…". The most they will venture is that their composite decks require "less maintenance" than wood decks. None now claims composite decks to be maintenance-free. It never needs to be sanded, scraped, refinished, or stained…"Ĭomposite decking companies themselves are much more circumspect. "he appeal of composite decking is that it's virtually maintenance-free. As late as July 2012 the online edition of Popular Mechanics reported that Yet, even after claims of "maintenance free" and "lifetime deck" have been thoroughly debunked by research and experience, we still see them widely repeated, even by those who should know better. The result has been a lot of failures and several major composite decking companies going bankrupt or quitting the business, some after massive recalls of defective and dangerous composite decking products and wholesale defaults on their warranties. And, no manufacturer tests its material for 25 years before putting it on the market. Scientists can approximate how a particular chemical stew of plastic, filler, and additives will react to prolonged exposure to the elements over time but without actual long-term exposure tests, they never know for sure. Unlike wood – with which we have worked for about a million years and the characteristics of which we know very well – composites are a new and imperfectly understood material. Keep in mind that all composite decking materials, includingĬomposites, are still largely experimental. In fact, since 2004, seven major wood-plastic composite manufacturers have faced class-action lawsuits related to a host of material problems, including fading and color changes, slippery surfaces, shrinkage, swelling, deterioration, and massive mold buildup and several have been driven out of business by wholesale failures of their composite decking products. Now that a little time has passed and some research has been done, these expansive claims are just not holding up. The manufacturers relied on predictions about how the material should behave but failed to do long-term research to substantiate the truth of the claims. (Well, maybe just a little.) They were fostered by composite manufacturers in the heady early years of the product when claims of "maintenance free" and "lifetime decks" were tossed about freely. So, how did these myths come to be? Are the composite manufacturers just lying to us? Properly maintained wood decks last about 20-30 years, well-maintained composite decks about the same. Composites are not necessarily longer lasting than wood.Composites are not any more environmentally friendly than most common deck woods, and may even be more harmful to the environment because of the very un-green petro-chemicals used in their manufacture.d.
