![]() “At this point, we are seeing industry estimates of several hundred of victims across the country,” the senior CISA official said. But cybersecurity researchers say scores if not hundreds of companies could by then have had sensitive data quietly exfiltrated. maker, Progress Software, alerted customers to the breach on May 31 and issued a patch. officials “have no evidence to suggest coordination between Cl0p and the Russian government,” the official said. The senior CISA official told reporters a “small number” of federal agencies were hit - declining to name them - and said “this is not a widespread campaign affecting a large number of federal agencies.” The official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the breach, said no federal agencies had received extortion demands and no data from an affected federal agency had been leaked online by Cl0p. The gang, among the world’s most prolific cybercrime syndicates, also claimed it would delete any data stolen from governments, cities and police departments. The Cl0p ransomware syndicate behind the hack announced last week on its dark web site that its victims, who it suggested numbered in the hundreds, had until Wednesday to get in touch to negotiate a ransom or risk having sensitive stolen data dumped online. The Oregon Department of Transportation confirmed Thursday that the attackers accessed personal information, some sensitive, for about 3.5 million people to whom the state issued identity cards or driver’s licenses. They encouraged Louisiana residents to freeze their credit to guard against identity theft. That included their name, address, Social Security number and birthdate. ![]() Louisiana officials said Thursday that people with a driver’s license or vehicle registration in the state likely had their personal information exposed. Security experts say that can include sensitive financial and insurance data. The exploited program, MOVEit, is widely used by businesses to securely share files. ![]() Known victims to date include Louisiana’s Office of Motor Vehicles, Oregon’s Department of Transportation, the Nova Scotia provincial government, British Airways, the British Broadcasting Company and the U.K. Energy Department spokesperson Chad Smith said two agency entities were compromised but did not provide more detail. ![]() military nor intelligence community was affected. “Although we are very concerned about this campaign and working on it with urgency, this is not a campaign like SolarWinds that presents a systemic risk to our national security or our nation’s networks,” she added.Ī senior CISA official said neither the U.S. “Based on discussions we have had with industry partners … these intrusions are not being leveraged to gain broader access, to gain persistence into targeted systems, or to steal specific high value information- in sum, as we understand it, this attack is largely an opportunistic one,” Easterly said. Jen Easterly, director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, told reporters that unlike the meticulous, stealthy SolarWinds hacking campaign attributed to state-backed Russian intelligence agents that was months in the making, this campaign was short, relatively superficial and caught quickly. But for others among what could be hundreds of victims from industry to higher education - including patrons of at least two state motor vehicle agencies - the hack was beginning to show some serious impacts.

![]() The most common production method utilizes a blast furnace to melt a mixture of iron ore, coal, coke, natural gas, oil and scrap metals at approximately 1500°degrees Celsius. To transform primary products such as iron ore and scrap into stainless steel, two manufacturing processes using different furnaces (blast or electric arc furnace) can be applied. How are stainless steel sheets manufactured? Using stainless sheets provides the sculptures with an elegant, equine and contemporary aesthetic. These majestic horses were built to honour Scotland’s inland waterways and highlight the role horses played in this industrial and agricultural transformation. The impressive 99ft-tall horse head sculptures are completely clad in stainless sheets, providing the structures with an iconic shimmer associated with stainless steel. The majestic Kelpies in Falkirk, Scotland are a perfect example of a modern application of stainless steel sheets. The specific level of resistance however depends on the amount of chromium added to the melt. Usually stainless steel sheets contain 10.5% Chromium which when exposed to the surrounding atmosphere forms a protective/anti-corrosive layer on the sheets surface. Hence the specific characteristics of a stainless sheet are determined not only by its relative family but also grade and chemical composition. Over 250 different grades offer varying mechanical, physical, thermal and anti-corrosive qualities. There are five main families of stainless steel, austenitic, martensitic, ferritic, precipitation hardening and duplex stainless steel. General information on stainless steel sheets ![]() Writing scores are posted approximately two weeks following the reporting of the composite score. Scores are viewable online approximately two to eight weeks following the exam. Naturally, students want to find out the scores of their test as soon as possible following completion of the exam. When deciding whether to retake the test, students should consider whether they will have more time to prepare for subsequent exams and if they felt their first score was not representative of their true ability and knowledge of the topics covered. Guaranteed.įifty-seven percent of those who retake the ACT increase their composite score. Proven ACT test flashcards raise your score on the ACT test. Students can also elect which specific scores to report to schools.ĪCT Flashcards. The test can be taken a total of 12 times. First, many take the test before they begin applying to schools in order to avoid being overwhelmed during college application season.Īdditionally, many students want to allow time to retake the test if they want to improve upon their score, as many students take the test once in their junior year and again in their senior year. Many elect to take the test even sooner for multiple reasons. Test takers are encouraged to take the test at least two months ahead of the application deadlines for the schools to which they are applying. For each of the four tests (or five if taking the writing test) an announcement will be made that there are five minutes remaining in that section. Therefore, test takers are strongly encouraged to pace themselves so that they are able to answer every single question.Ī common test-taking strategy that applies to taking the ACT is to answer all of the easier questions first and then, as time allows, go back and spend more time on the more difficult questions to ensure an answer is provided for every question. It is important to know that there is no penalty for guessing when taking the test. The standard ACT test (without the writing section) costs $35. Registrants can still schedule to take the test following the first registration deadline, but a late fee of $22 will be assessed. The first registration deadline is a little over a month before the testing date. In rare instances, some test takers will be eligible for arranged testing if both their religious beliefs do not allow them to test on Saturday and they are not located within 50 miles of a non-Saturday testing center. ![]() If there is not a Saturday testing center within 50 miles, test takers may be eligible for non-Saturday testing. ![]() ![]() In some instances, registrants will be assigned to a different location-this is because the requested testing location was either full or unavailable. When registering online (the fastest registration method), test takers will select their preferred testing location. The ACT is offered six times throughout the year on various Saturdays. The score is not affected by the position that is taken but rather how well the position is articulated. The writing test consists of a single writing prompt in which the test taker will be asked to take a position on the issue presented. Students should find out whether any of the schools they are planning to apply to require the ACT Plus Writing exam or only the standard ACT.Įven though all schools do not require the Writing test, many students elect to take it and still report their scores to show they are proficient in writing. There is also an option to take what is called the ACT Plus Writing which consists of the same sections and also 30-minute writing test.

It’s so handy, I plan to add another EDC V2 tool and Mini Pump to my gravel bike for endurance gravel racing.You wouldn’t carry a metal Snickers bar in your pocket, so why carry multitool that has less than one distinct purpose?įor the past 6 years, I have carried around a number of different multitools and used them for every purpose under the sun. I’ve had to bust out my EDC V2 in the field a couple of times to help other riders and they’re always impressed with its packaging. I use the 70cc EDC pump attached under my top tube. We carry OneUp products at TPC because we like using them ourselves! Personally, I think EDC tools are the slickest way to stash a multi-tool on your bike. My EDC Mini Pump mounted to my top tube accessory mounts ![]() The pump comes with a bottle cage mount so it can be bolted under a bottle cage or to any accessory mounts on your frame. The 70cc pump can fit the EDC V2 plus the small storage capsule (enough to fit the OneUp tire plug tool). The 100cc pump will fit the EDC V2 plus the large storage capsule or a 20g CO2. It comes in 100cc and 70cc versions and the EDC V2 fits right inside the pump, keeping it nice and hidden. This is a high-volume hand pump that will easily inflate mountain bike tires. What if you don’t want to hide your multitool in your steerer tube? Well, the EDC V2 can also fit inside OneUp’s EDC Mini Pump. The EDC V2 takes a bit more effort to set up, but if you want to be ready for anything out on the trail, I think it’s the ultimate multitool. It comes in multiple anodized colors to match your bike. This top cap is tightened using a standard cassette lockring tool or the EDC top cap tool included in the EDC V2. Then, preloading your headset requires OneUp’s top cap. OneUp’s tap kit includes a tap and guide that makes it super easy. To preload your headset without a star nut, you will have to tap threads into your steerer tube. ![]() Like the EDC Lite, the EDC V2 is hidden inside your steerer tube, but since it’s longer, you will need to knock out your star nut to fit it. To the bottom of the EDC V2 you can add small or large storage capsules to carry tire plugs or quick link pliers, or you can thread an extra CO2 cartridge into it. It has a tool to handle nearly every trailside repair, and it’s all contained within an impressively compact package. The carrier itself comes in multiple colors to match your bike. This allows you to preload your headset as you would with a normal top cap, but there’s space inside the EDC Lite carrier to fit OneUp’s multitool. The EDC Lite screws straight into the star nut in your steerer tube, replacing your top cap (you need to hammer your star nut a bit deeper into your steerer to fit it). If you don’t wear a pack while riding it’s a handy way to always have a tool with you, and it looks much sleeker than strapping tools to your frame with velcro. The EDC Lite and EDC V2 are the most popular versions, and they’re designed to tuck away neatly inside your steerer tube. They make some of my favorite handlebars (super comfy!) and dropper seatposts (maximum drop!), but I think the coolest and most useful products they offer are their EDC Tools.ĮDC stands for “Everyday Carry.” These nifty multitools can be stashed on your bike in convenient hidden locations. OneUp is a Canadian brand based out of Squamish, BC made up of clever engineers who are passionate about solving the problems they experience on their own bikes. ![]() You may think this is pricey - but not even close when you are talking about sailing. At the time that we went it was $24.00 a person. This boat is large enough to make it worth while for someone else to do the work yet small enough to feel like you just decided to go out on the water that day. Oh, and I have to mention - great sound system. The Captain and crew were personable and accommodating.

It is these parts that are remanufactured into a new engine. When an engine fails, many of its components can still be utilized. Because of this, a new engine will cost considerably more than a Jasper remanufactured engine.Ī Jasper remanufactured engine uses parts from previous engines. A new engine uses all new parts including an engine block, crankshaft, cylinder heads, connecting rods, camshaft, pistons, and valves. The most obvious difference between new and Jasper remanufactured engines is the cost. When the process is complete, the remanufactured engine is then tested to ensure it is of the highest quality. Inspections are comprehensive, meaning the engine blocks and cylinder heads are x-rayed, pistons are measured with micrometers, ensuring that any and all issues not viewable by the naked eye are identified.Īll the parts must pass the inspection process used to assemble the Jasper remanufactured engine, with new bearings, piston rings, and other needed parts. All the remaining components, including the heads, block, crankshaft, camshafts, rods, pistons, and water pump are carefully inspected. For example, used engines are disassembled and any obviously damaged parts are scrapped. ![]() Essentially, Jasper remanufactured engines use a combination of recycled and new parts. However, these engines are sold at a substantially reduced price. Jasper remanufactured engines are designed to function just like a newly built engine. The components of a new engine are fresh off the assembly line. When faced with this dilemma, many auto owners ponder which is the better solution. This leaves purchasing either a new replacement engine or a Jasper remanufactured one. However, for many individuals, because of budget constraints, scrapping their vehicle is simply not an option. Catastrophic engine failure leaves automobile owners with one of two choices-they can either sell their vehicle for scrap or buy a new engine.
