Playing on the power of politeness and the awkwardness of male relationships, this is a highly original, itchily uncomfortable watch. Director Patrice Brice plays Aaron, a videographer hired by Mark Duplass’ Josef to make a video for his kid to watch after he’s died of a terminal illness. No, not the one set on the tube, this ‘mumblegore’ horror is far weirder than that. More wistful and emotional than that sounds on paper, there’s a fascinating subplot about an Aboriginal girl mourning her father and the final set piece is unforgettable. Set in the Australian outback, Freeman is a father trying to find someone to protect his child in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. Martin Freeman stars in this Netflix original developed from a short directed by Ben Howling and Yolanda Ramke. There have been far worse horror sequels. Wingard also makes some unexpected tweaks to the continuity of the first film which are at least interesting failures. But there are also some clever new twists, such as the inclusion of drone cameras, which give us a new vantage point that helps set this mockumentary apart from the original. The scares that ensue can feel a bit paint-by-the-numbers at times, as the characters begin to hear things at night and soon begin to disappear one by one, all leading to the inevitable end you know is coming. Simply titled Blair Witch, this installment follows a new group of campers as they search the woods for answers as to what happened to the original trio from the first film. That said, while no one will ever go out of their way to defend 2000s absolutely dismal Book of Shadows, there’s quite a bit of merit to Adam Wingard’s legacy sequel from 2016. When it comes to The Blair Witch Project, nothing will ever top the original, despite several attempts to do just that. Thomas soon comes to find that the object of the cult’s religious fervor may be more real than he’d prefer. Thomas successfully infiltrates the cult led by the charismatic Malcom Howe (Michael Sheen) and begins to ingratiate himself with the strange folks obsessed with bloodletting. Dan Stevens stars as Thomas Richardson, a British man in the early 1900s who must rescue his sister, Jennifer, from the clutches of a murderous cult. ApostleĪpostle comes from acclaimed The Raid director Gareth Evans and is his take on the horror genre. And you can check out our review, too if you like.

It’s also refreshing that these are not malevolent mega sharks bent on revenge, they are just… some sharks. It’s as claustrophobic as it is dizzying, and Moore, Holt and the sharks are all good. For the most part, it’s just that – the two trying to underwater problem-solve their way out of getting eaten, getting the bends or drowning. Two sisters (Claire Holt and Mandy Moore) are stuck in a shark cage at the bottom of the ocean. This is partly because the premise is extremely simple and extremely effective. There’s something for every horror hound! 47 Meters DownĪmidst the many modern shark movies, 47 Meters Down happens to be one of the best.

The Outdoor School is a series of one-day outings in the local area and in store classes. In 2006, REI started the Outdoor School in selected markets. REI Adventures offers vacations for active travelers all over the world. REI has diversified its offerings into global adventure vacations through the REI Adventures branch, which began in 1987. On January 31, 2023, REI laid off 8 percent of its corporate staff, eliminating 167 positions. They continued the initiative through the 2022 holiday season. REI is the first major US retailer to forgo operations on Black Friday. Although Black Friday has, traditionally, been one of REI's top-10 days for annual sales, the company abstained from Black Friday and launched an #OptOutside marketing campaign, urging people to spend their time outside. On Black Friday of 2015, REI “did the unexpected” by closing all of their stores and temporarily halting the processing of online purchases, giving all of their employees a paid day off. ![]() Eric Artz, previously COO of the company, was named CEO and president of REI in May 2019. ![]() She was succeeded by Jerry Stritzke, former president and COO of Coach New York, who was named president and CEO of REI in August 2013. Jewell remained CEO of REI until she was named United States Secretary of the Interior in April of 2013. Sally Jewell joined the board of REI in 1996 and, in 2000, was named chief operating officer. In October 2015, the company launched a redesigned logo, which included the word "co-op" for the first time since 1983. Beginning in 2014, with the introduction of the REI Co-Op line of clothing, REI publicly re-emphasized the cooperative aspect of its business model. Although the company remained a co-operative, providing special services to its members, the "co-op" moniker was dropped from much of its literature and advertising. Clothing, particularly "sport-casual" apparel, also became a greater part of the company's product line. REI kept MSR until 2001, when it exited the manufacturing business, selling the operation to Cascade Designs, another successful outdoor gear company in the Seattle area. The company acquired nearby outdoor gear firm Mountain Safety Research in 1981, which later bought tent-maker Edgeworks and produced tents with the MSR brand. Later on, in the 1980s, and with changes to their board of directors, REI’s emphasis expanded to also include camping, kayaking, bicycling, and other outdoor activities. Through the 1970s, REI identified itself prominently as REI Co-op, focusing primarily on equipment for serious climbers, backpackers, and mountaineering expeditions. When Whittaker became the first American to summit Mount Everest in May of 1963, it provided REI with so much free advertising that, the following year (1964), the company’s gross income topped $1mil for the first time. Whittaker served as CEO during the 1960s and was an early board member, along with American Alpine Club president, Nicholas Clinch. In 1956, Recreational Equipment Cooperative was incorporated. Jim Whittaker was hired as the first full-time employee at REI on July 25, 1955. In 1942, Lloyd moved to a new space, down the hall from The Mountaineers’ club rooms on Pike Street. 1 and 2.įlagship store (1962–1996) in Seattle, circa 1980 11th & Pine on Capitol Hillĭuring their first year, Recreational Equipment was nothing more than a shelf at the Puget Sound Cooperative Store, a farmer's co-op near Pike Place Market in Seattle. On June 23, 1938, with the aid of Seattle attorney Ed Rombauer, five Mountaineers met at Rombauer's office, and each paid one dollar to join the Recreational Equipment Cooperative. The Andersons had imported an Akadem Pickel ice axe from Austria, for themselves, as part of The Mountaineers Basic Climbing Course from there, the two decided to set up a co-operative to help other outdoor enthusiasts in the club acquire good-quality climbing gear at reasonable prices. Lloyd (1902–2000) and Mary (Gaiser) Anderson (1909–2017) founded REI in Seattle, Washington in 1938. It also receives orders via mail-order catalogs and the internet. REI operates 165 retail stores in 39 states. ![]() It also offers services such as outdoor-oriented vacations and courses.

That is almost eight weeks away, but it will be the first time the V8 Supercar community comes together in the new year. The logical day is the scheduled season launch and test day for the V8 Supercars at Sandown on Saturday, February 11. But what Richards deserves – and so too his army of fans – is for his memorial service to be televised, preferably live. Perhaps it will be for V8 Supercars’ most inspirational character each year, or perhaps the person who best represents the sport. Inevitably there will be a trophy or medal named in Richards’ honour. And there is an opportunity in that to make it a very special send-off to this champion bloke. A family funeral will be held this week and a memorial service in the new year at the Sandown circuit. It was always going to be a terrible tragedy, but so close to Christmas it is even more so. He leaves a wife, Charlotte, and two very young girls, Sienna and Olivia.

CONDITION: Contains a Resource Conflict: Evaluate a node object for conflicts.This is the event trigger for the default Rule. It provides both a node object of the node being created/edited and a form object for use with rules_forms. You should use this event if you want to set form errors, or if you want to interact with Rules_forms module. EVENT: A Resource Conflict Node Form is Validated: This rule fires during node form validation on Resource Conflict enabled content types.Here's a run down of the Rules components included with Resource Conflict 7: Best of all, it's all exposed and easy for you to maintain. Other people have asked about using the module to integrate with Organic Groups, or to control bookings of finite resources - you could easily use Rules to build those functionalities. Soft conflicts can be booked, but they create a node to record the conflict. Or maybe I try to book John Doe, who is tagged as a "Plumber", but Maintenance is already booked at that time. For example, maybe I try to book the taxonomy term "Maintenance", but the sub-term "Plumbers" is already booked at the same time. "Soft" conflicts are when you try to book a taxonomy term that is a parent or child of a term in an existing booking, or a user who is tagged with a term or child of a term that is already booked. Hard conflicts throw a form error and prevent saving the node. This is just like the above case, and it's a really simple modification on the default Rule. "Hard" conflicts are when two bookings at the same time reference the same user or taxonomy term. To give an example of how complex this can go - on a site I recently launched, I have two kinds of resource conflict events. More likely you will want to edit the rule to add some more conditions - for example, maybe a resource conflict on your site means overlapping taxonomy terms. ![]() ![]() But this is not a very realistic use case. ![]() ![]() ![]() This gives it a lower resistance, increasing conduction and reducing the effect of placing standard N type silicon next to the aluminium connector, which because aluminium is a tri-valent material, having three valence electrons whilst silicon has four, would tend to create an unwanted junction, similar in effect to a PN junction at this point. N+ type silicon has a lower resistivity than N type. The drain is connected to a positive supply, and the source to zero volts. The N type channel is connected to the source and drain terminals via more heavily doped N+ type regions. 4.2.1, the N channel is sandwiched between two P type regions (the gate and the substrate) that are connected together and are at 0V. In the planar construction N channel JFET shown in Fig. Operating with the Drain Source voltage above Pinch Off is known as the "Saturation Region" as the JFET is acting like a saturated transistor that is any increase in voltage does not produce a relative increase in current. Operating with the Drain/Source voltage below this value is classed is the "Ohmic Region" as the JFET will act rather like a resistor. The Pinch-Off value of the JFET refers to the voltage applied between Drain and Source (with the Gate voltage at zero volts) at which maximum current flows.
