Inhalt Roy und Denise Solomon ziehen mit ihrer Teenager-Tochter Jess und ihrem kleinen Sohn Ben in ein entlegenes Farmhaus in einem Sonnenblumenfeld in North Dakota. Dass sich dort womöglich übernatürliche Dinge abspielen könnten, bleibt von den Erwachsenen unbemerkt. Aber Ben und kurz darauf Jess spüren bald, dass nicht alles mit rechten Dingen zugeht. Weil ihr die Eltern nicht glauben wollen, recherchiert Jess auf eigene Faust und erfährt, dass sich in ihrem neuen Zuhause sechs Jahre zuvor ein bestialischer Mord abgespielt hat. Kritik Für sein amerikanisches Debüt hat sich das umtriebige Brüderpaar Danny und Oxide Pang („The Eye“) eine Variante von „Amityville Horror“ ausgesucht, um eine amerikanische Durchschnittsfamilie nach allen Regeln der Kunst mit übernatürlichem Terror zu überziehen.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Sednit also known as APT28, Sofacy, Strontium and Fancy Bear – has been operating since at least 2004, and has made headlines frequently in the past years: it is believed to be behind major, high profile attacks . For instance, several security companies [1] as well as the US Department of Justice [2] named the group as being responsible for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) hack just before the US 2016 elections . The group is also presumed to be behind the hacking of global television network TV5Monde [3], the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) email leak [4] and many others . Its targets are many and the group has a diversified set of malware in its toolbox several of which we have documented previously [5], but this white paper details the first time this group is known to have used a UEFI rootkit .

  • Speed Racer, Educational Technology Assessment
    Grades 4 – 5 Speed Racer Science, Math, and Educational Technology Assessment Introduction This Anchor Set provides educators with student exemplars for the grades 4-5 Speed Racer Educational Technology assessment. We selected each sample to model the range of scoring for this assessment. There are two components that make up the scoring guide for educational technology— Attributes of Educational Technology Standards (checklist) and the Scoring Rubric for Educational Technology. Attributes of Educational Technology Standards. Teachers will use the attributes checklist first to determine the number of attribute points the student work can earn. The checklist presents a list of characteristics that should be present in student work which meets the standard. The GLEs targeted by the assessment are listed in the left column. Each attribute name, such as Generate Questions, is derived directly from the standards (Build background knowledge and generate questions by viewing multimedia.). Each attribute has one or more descriptions which detail what an at-standard performance looks like (Develops original questions after viewing multimedia.). This is different from a typical rubric, which describes various levels of performance. With the checklist, the teacher has only to decide whether or not the work is at standard. If the teacher determines that the work is at standard, then it earns the number of points indicated in the right-hand column. The teacher totals the points. Scoring Rubric for Educational Technology. In the final step, the teacher uses the total number of points earned in the attributes checklist to determine the overall level of performance for the assessment. Student work earning no more than five attribute points would represent a below standard (Level 1) performance.
