![]() When a machine is infected with WannaCry, a prompt will appear on the locked computer screen asking for a payment to unlock the device.īetween May 12 and May 15, thousands of organizations, including hospitals and commercial businesses, reported their computers were held ransom by WannaCry. The May 12 version of WannaCry is largely the same as older samples obtained by Symantec, including that it uses a comparable password to encrypt files embedded in the dropper. The executable computer code for EternalBlue was posted online by a mysterious group known as the Shadow Brokers in mid-April. The latest version of WannaCry released incorporated a leaked exploit known as “EternalBlue,” which leverages two known Microsoft vulnerabilities to spread the ransomware to unpatched computers connected to a shared, infected network. Symantec believes that early samples of WannaCry were sent by the same group responsible for the more recent outbreak. “These earlier attacks involved significant use of tools, code, and infrastructures previously associated with the Lazarus group, while the means of propagation through backdoors and stolen credentials is consistent with earlier Lazarus attacks.” “The discovery of a small number of earlier WannaCry attacks has provided compelling evidence of a link to the Lazarus group,” a blogpost by Symantec Security Response team reads. In addition, both the February and March WannaCry campaigns relied on a command and control infrastructure linked to older Lazarus Group operations. For example, researchers believe that at least one remote access trojan used to deploy WannaCry in recent months is an upgraded version of a capability solely controlled and originally designed by the Lazarus Group. ![]() Symantec also collected data on a series of other WannaCry infections in late March, which similarly carried backdoor implants built with computer code previously linked to North Korea. The attacks against Sony Pictures have been widely attributed to hackers linked to North Korea by both private sector cybersecurity firms and the FBI, though no definitive proof has ever publicly surfaced. By obtaining an early sample, analysts were able to comprehensively study and identify individual components within the malware, some of which shared similarities to hacking tools used in late 2014 against Sony Pictures. Researchers originally came across WannaCry in February when it was first found on a Symantec client’s network - a full three months prior to the global outbreak. cybersecurity firm Symantec said it too discovered “strong links” between WannaCry ransomware and the so-called Lazarus Group. Their theory gained new found credibility Monday when U.S. Some organizations track North Korean clusters or groups, such as Bluenoroff, APT37, and APT38 separately, while other organizations track some activity associated with those groups as Lazarus Group.In the aftermath of a global ransomware attack, which impacted more than 300,000 computers in over 150 countries, a small, select group of security researchers announced they had found evidence suggesting a group previously linked to the North Korean government was likely behind the international cyber incident. Some organizations use Lazarus Group to refer to any activity attributed to North Korea. North Korean group definitions have significant overlap, and the name Lazarus Group encompasses a broad range of activity. In late 2017, Lazarus Group used the disk-wiping tool KillDisk in an attack against an online casino based in Central America. Malware used by Lazarus Group has correlated to other reported campaigns, including Operation Flame, Operation 1Mission, Operation Troy, DarkSeoul, and Ten Days of Rain. The group has been active since at least 2009, and was reportedly responsible for the November 2014 destructive wiper attack against Sony Pictures Entertainment as part of the campaign Operation Blockbuster, which was named by Novetta. Lazarus Group is a threat group that has been attributed to the North Korean government.

![]() The Canon EOS R7 is like one of the camera giant's full-frame EOS R cameras, only with a smaller APS-C sensor. ❌ You crave full-frame or low-light excellence: There are lots of advantages to APS-C sensors, but many people will simply desire a full-frame camera. ❌ You’re frustrated by the lack of native RF-S lenses: Sports and wildlife shooters are better served by Sony and Fujifilm APS-C systems with superior selection of lenses. But as a complete package, the Sony A7 IV is a solid all-rounder which could be the only mirrorless camera you'll ever need. The A7 IV's new 33MP full-frame sensor doesn't dramatically improve image quality over the A7 III (the higher resolution also means fairly prevalent noise above ISO 6400), and there's a heavy crop on 4K footage. When using a CFexpress card, it swallowed 9fps for over a minute (or 6-7fps when continuously shooting raw). In our tests, we found the A7 IV to have class-leading autofocus skills, plus a seemingly endless buffer depth, which means the camera can almost indefinitely maintain its maximum burst speeds without any slowdown. A price bump means it no longer occupies the same entry-level price bracket as its popular predecessor, but upgrades like 10-bit video and a Bionz XR processor make it a much more powerful option. It’s overkill for beginners and more expensive than its stills-focused competition, but it’s also a versatile workhorse for anyone who want to shoot a mixture of photos and video. The Sony A7 IV is a truly modern hybrid camera. ❌ You need something discreet for travel or street shoots: The A7 IV is undeniably powerful, but its sizable grip and 658g weight mean it's also a fairly big lump compared to other mirrorless cameras. while Hassy's 100mm Planar = 55.55, and the 90mm used on some Eastern Europe "6圆" cameras comes out "50mm" on the button.Īnd the favorite "long normal" of many using the Hasselblad film cameras - 120 macro - equals about a 67mm (not too far off an Elmarit-R/Nikkor 60mm Macro, or the 65 Elmar Macro for the Visoflex).❌ You mostly shoot sports and action: While the Sony A7 IV is by no means a slow coach, there are better cameras out there for pro sports performance. comes out 44.4mm (a "wide-ish normal" - except that some say that the focal length that equals the diagonal is the real "normal" lens for any camera, which would make it simply a "normal normal") and an 80mm on Rollei/Hassy/Mamiya/Yashica/etc. and a 50mm Zeiss for Hassy comes out as "27.7" (call it 28mm) on 35mm And I can testify that is how "wide" the Biogon appears. a 38mm Zeiss Biogon Superwide for the Hasselblad = "21.111" on a 35mm camera. The classic 35mm film frame has a diagonal of 43.3mmĪ square MF picture 55mm on a side has a diagonal of 77.78 mm.divided by 43.3 gives a "focal length equivalent factor" of 1.8Īn "ideal format 6x7" picture has a diagonal of 85mm.divided by 43.3 gives an "FLEF" of 1.97Ī 645 micro-medium format neg (actually 56mm x 41.5mm) has a diagonal of ~70mm.divided by 43.3 gives an "FLEF" of 1.62Ĭhecking our work. That's the only way roughly compensate for the different shapes and get an idea of how much of the world can be squeezed into a specific frame.Īnd using our handy-dandy Pythagorian equation: However, once the shapes become different, then the whole character of the picture is going to change anyway - Diane Arbus or Vivian Maier square pictures won't ever "look like" Cartier-Bresson or Elliott Erwitt or Ralph Gibson 2x3 photos, no matter how equivalent the focal lengths.īut if one must, that is where the proportions of the diagonals must be taken. But as we know, Leica M "50mm" lenses are actually about 52mm lenses, so correcting for that gets us to a 121mm lens on the 6x9 camera. The 50mm equivalent on a 6x9 medium format camera is a 117mm lens. Barnack format 2:3 to MF 6:9 - then the math is easy. If the overall image format/shape/proportions are the same - e.g. Hasselblads tend to produce a very slightly smaller neg than Rolleis/Yashicas/Mamiyas etc. ![]() Basic equation: the width of an image across the film from side to side is:ģ5mm film: 24mm image width (plus room for sprocket holes)ġ20 film: 54-56mm image width with a thin border or rebate ("6圆," implying 60mm x 60mm negatives, is a bit of marketing exaggeration ). ![]() Load them by using them, which makes the player move at sneak speed.

Sometimes I get nervous with the lax attitude of WADA in case they make a mistake and ruin my career.” “It’s really gratifying knowing how strict USADA is during the drug testing process compared to WADA. Like Vos, she is a member of Bike Pure and wants the UCI – and WADA – to do more. Jeanson’s case highlights the importance of out of competition testing, and also of the need for the UCI not to concentrate uniquely on men’s competition.Īnother competitor who backs up Vos’ calls for action is the top off-road rider Katie Compton. She tested positive for the banned hormone and subsequently announced her retirement, saying that her coach André Aubut had played a major part in her decision to dope. She won several World Cup races but was finally snagged when she had a out of competition test on 25 July 2005 at the Tour de 'Toona stage race in Pennsylvania. While the salaries and prize money are smaller, the possibility that some are using banned substances or methods cannot be discounted, and it would be naïve to think otherwise.Īs an example, former top Candian competitor Geneviève Jeanson admitted to using EPO almost continuously since her teenage years. She also revealed that there was a serious shortfall at last weekend’s World Cup in Sweden: “In Sweden there was no doping control because the doctor was either ill, on holiday or there was some sort of miscommunication which can happen at times,” said Vos, who is the current world cyclo-cross champion.īike Pure also spoke to several others on the matter, and received further calls for the UCI to step up to its responsibilities and ensure that unfair advantage is not being gained in women’s competition. “We really need to put effective barriers in place to prevent riders who are tempted to take drugs, and I think an increase in out of competition controls will raise a barricade.” “Of course I have controls in competition almost every week, but that depends on my results.” “It is important that there are more out of competition controls,” she told the anti-doping movement, which has thousands of members worldwide and features many key professionals. The 23 year old Dutchwoman revealed to Bike Pure this week that she had only faced one out of competition testing thus far in 2010. Vos also highlights that in-competition examinations are also sometimes not up to scratch, citing a recent example. World number one and Olympic champion Marianne Vos is one of several who are pushing for more out of competition testing, decrying the fact that there are hardly any surprise controls. However while the biological passport has undoubtedly led to far more testing being carried out, it appears that women’s cycling is another matter indeed. The UCI has long pushed the fact that professional cyclists are tested more often than competitors in other sports, using this to show that the sport is serious about tackling the drug problems which dogged it in the past. ![]() Out of competition testing is surprisingly lax ![]() Yabai seems to be very powerful but also needs quite some setup, so I didn’t test it (currently testing Amethyst), but if you really want floating windows it might be just what you’re looking for.

Which map(s) should I push on? Which map(s) should I farm on? If you prestige into the Farm map after a Beach map, on completing the Farm Map you will have the option to pay for another premium map or go to Enchanted Forest. General consensus is Beach Run is the best map for pushing. Snowfall and Lava Cave are popular for pushing as well. I'm at wave "xxx" what layout should I use? It's recommended you pick one or two of those maps for pushing, while you leave the rest for your farming runs. You should be following the META to determine what the best setup is. A general rule of thumb is you want 2 "Fluffy" Monsters (the stronger the better), 2 DPS Monsters (your strongest two monsters of different elements) and 6 Support Monsters (same two elements as your DPS). The Fluffies should be at the front of the map, with DPS and Support spread out behind them ensuring that your DPS Monsters are within range of your Support Monsters. Same rules go for both though, gear towards your particular situation and just use these as initial templates.If you have questions about how you're doing, post a screenshot of your layout in the #map-layout-questions (on discord) channel and someone is bound to help point you in the right direction. Strength Aura before ROF, or Strength Aura and Heavy Weapons at the same time. Also maybe want to combine spells on certain waves, i.e. Typically for me these are:Įarlier on when you don't have attack speed or crit Chance maxed out, you may want to swap death aura out for Frenzy or Deadly Strikes. For pushing when you're at the end of a run, you want to maximize spells to kill the robots or increase your damage. Again these are just examples, stick with the main 4 and adjust as needed for your current situation. Or another example would be you're just rushing map over map to get to Beach, you likely don't need Prosper because gold isn't important if you're just rushing to 1k then prestiging - so you can remove Prosper and add Rain of Fire or EMP to push things along. For example, if you are doing a push run where you don't currently care about experience, but getting gold and the time you're taking the hit your max wave matter (example would be if you're in a Tournament), then you may want to get rid of Mastership and replace it with Rain of Fire to ensure you can kill the stragglers. Ideally you would keep the four of these up, however the situation you're in may change based on your current goal.

If finding a soap brand that's natural and/or organic is important to you, then you'll wanna look for labels from USDA Organic, Made Safe, EcoCert, or B Corp, which are independent groups that vet everything from a product's safety to its environmental impact. "In some cases, fragrances can lead to allergies and rashes in the skin." Look for certain labels "For people who have sensitive skin, consider a fragrance-free option," Zeichner suggests. Speaking of sensitive skin! Folks who tend to dry out or experience irritation more easily should try to steer clear of soap brands with fragrances. So if you see sodium laureth and/or lauryl sulfate on an ingredients list, it's probs best to avoid. "In fact, it’s used in clinical trials as the positive control to elicit irritation in the skin in comparison to other products." Uh, yikes. "Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is a harsh detergent that is very effective, but can be very drying," explains Zeichner. That's why it's best to avoid sulfate-containing soap, especially if you have sensitive skin or eczema. However! You should keep a few things in mind when trying to decide what kind of soap to get for your shower: Skip the sulfatesīecause the skin's pH is naturally slightly acidic (around 5.5), cleansing ingredients with an alkaline pH can disrupt the skin barrier and lead to irritation. There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all body soap, as the best soap brand for you depends on your specific skin concerns. And while shower gels might be preferable for house guests, bar soaps have the benefit of using less energy in production and requiring less plastic and packaging in general, which is always a plus.

It forms during the crystallization of the superheated and fluidized volatile-rich last magma melt portion. The groundmass can be pyroxene, plagioclase, ilmenite, etc. Gabbro pegmatites will have enormous crystals (3-4 inches to meters) of calcic plagioclase, pyroxene (augite), or sometimes hornblende set in a coarse-grained matrix or groundmass. This texture also occurs in granite, rhyolite, andesite, basalt, lamprophyre, and pitchstone. An Earlier stage forms phenocrysts and a later stage forms the coarse-grained matrix. Phenocrysts are usually plagioclase, pyroxene, and other mafic minerals in a coarse-grained matrix of the same minerals. Porphyritic gabbro has larger crystals (phenocrysts) embedded in a finer but coarse-grained groundmass. Let us look at these textures a little more. Also, it may show different textures like medium-grains (microgabbro), porphyritic, orbicular, pegmatitic textures, and rarely ophitic. However, altering olivine to iddingsite and other minerals may result in reddish splotches on the rock. It has equigranular hypidiomorphic grains with a somewhat speckled appearance characterized by mostly darker minerals (mafic) and fewer lighter minerals (felsic). ![]() Usually, gabbro is a tough, massive, or layered dark gray, dark green, or black rock with a coarse-grained texture. It differs from peridotites, which tend more towards greenish color since they are rich in olivine. In the field, you will identify gabbro by its color, texture, and the fact that it is a little bit denser and darker than the likes of granite, diorite, or other look-alikes. Tectonic environment: Deep inside the oceanic crust, divergent boundaries (volcanic arcs), convergent boundaries (continental collision), and continental intraplate hotspots and rifts.Medium-grained equivalent (microgabbro): Dolerite or diabase.Mineral composition: Pyroxene and calcium-rich plagioclase with lesser amounts of hornblende and olivine.Magnetism: Magnetite-rich varieties are weakly magnetic.Color: Dark colored – dark gray, dark green to black.Texture: Coarse-grained or phaneritic (1/16mm to 3cm grain size).Origin: Mostly intrusive or plutonic with few subsurface.Afterward, we will discuss its chemical and mineral composition and related gabbroic rocks.Īlso, there are parts on its classification, how it forms, where it occurs, some of its uses, and more.ĭark-gray gabbro rock with calcic plagioclase (light-colored) and darker mafic minerals from Duluth, Minnesota, in the USA.

It occurs worldwide, mainly in deep ocean crust, continental arcs, intraplate hotspots, and rifts, and less often in island arcs. Gabbro is a relatively common rock with many uses. Today, it describes a mafic plutonic igneous rock with mainly calcium-rich plagioclase and pyroxene. Later in 1809, Christian Leopold von Buch, a German geologist, restricted the use of gabbro to only the Apennines ophiolites metamorphosed gabbro ( metagabbro). This rock was named after Gabbro, a small settlement village near Rosignano Marittimo in Tuscany, Italy. The term gabbro was introduced by Giovanni Targioni Tozzetti, an Italian geologist, in 1768 to describe ophiolites found in the Italian mountain range Apennines. Therefore, IUGS doesn’t recommend using plutonic exclusively when describing this rock. However, it may also form within thick basalt lavas. %), magnesium- and iron-rich magma primarily deep in the Earth’s crust.
