![]() ![]() The North Atlantic right whale Spindle and her newest calf were spotted on Jan. Philip Hamilton, senior scientist and interim chairman of the Kraus Marine Mammal Conservation program at the New England Aquarium, said the situation with Spindle, her new calf, and her entangled daughter highlights the whales' position between opposite ends of a spectrum, from hope to setback. That becomes troublesome, as well, when the whales are likely to die as a result of entanglement and vessel strike injuries before they can reach that age. Right whales gestate for a little longer than a year, but they don't actually reach reproductive age until they are about 10 years old. Instead of a calving interval of three years, the trend is now closer to six to 10 years. Of those, only about 72 of them are reproductively active females.Ĭharles "Stormy" Mayo, director of the right whale ecology program at the Center for Coastal Studies in Provincetown, has pointed out that this equates to very low calving rates.Īdding to the concern is that females who are giving birth are doing so at greater intervals. Every loss is a tragic one for North Atlantic right whalesįor the North Atlantic right whale population, every loss of an individual is a significant one, though there is added concern whenever a female is lost.Īccording to a report released in the fall by the North Atlantic Right Whale Consortium, only about 340 of the animals - plus or minus seven - remained during 2021. ![]() The Massachusetts Environmental Trust's Drive For A Better Environment program has provided money to further Massachusetts commercial lobstermen’s conservation efforts on behalf of right whales and all whale species. ![]() The association is continuing to work with Ketcham Trap on the gear. Over the last five years, the association has collaborated with the Massachusetts Lobster Foundation, and Ketcham Trap of New Bedford to develop weaker red and candy cane rope that will break at 1,700 pounds.Īccording to the organization, commercial lobstermen in Massachusetts have been fishing with the weakened rope for four years now without many issues. The Massachusetts Lobstermen's Association noted that Massachusetts commercial lobstermen have already helped to reduce risk to right whales by 92%. That effort is already well underway in Massachusetts, where conservation methods the fishing community has adopted and is continuing to incorporate have been a help to the whales. Brogan and other advocates for the whales said the federal government needs "to adopt proven safeguards that will eliminate entanglement risk in times and places where right whales swim." The entangled juvenile's struggle, scientists say, highlights the need to accelerate transition to ropeless or “on-demand” fishing gear. ![]()

![]() ![]() We all have tops in the back of our closet that we hang on to for days like this and bags of dry cleaning that sits in the trunks of our cars. I know many of you women are nodding to this. She chose to wear it that day because she hadn’t gotten around to laundry and was out of shirts. And as for the top, she regularly considers donating it but figured it’s “nice enough” and it would be waste to get rid of. She admitted that the suit was looking a bit frumpy since her weight loss, but hadn’t gotten around to taking her better suits to the cleaners. The bright point of the day was the end when she could meet her girlfriends for happy hour. She admitted she hasn’t been sleeping well, she didn’t feel prepared enough for this case, and felt a bit depressed about the whole day. What image was she portraying to her client, to the members of the court? You won’t look like a mess, but you won’t look like yourself – a respectable, intelligent and attractive person who cares about herself. Presentable means no one will stare at you in the grocery store, but no one will really notice you either. ![]() Presentable is just a step above horrible. No one is providing an award for the largest wardrobe why keep things in there that do not look great? If you look at yourself in the mirror and think, “well I guess I look presentable ” you are not doing anyone a favor. Looking presentable is right up there with a little bit pregnant, technically married and all those other fibs we tell ourselves. She met me at the bar in a collared shirt that looked to be washed a few too many times, a pantsuit that was a size large due to her recent weight loss, a low ponytail with sideswept bangs and no makeup. She is a high-powered attorney who spends the majority of her days in the courtroom. ![]() My friend met me for drinks last week after work. Looking presentable, what does this mean exactly? I know many women who keep items in their wardrobe because they find them to be “good enough,” that they may not be the most flattering, but if they wear that piece they will at least “look presentable.” She said that she only uses makeup to look dressed up, and she believes she can “look presentable” without makeup when she doesn’t have breakouts. I was telling her about this new product I bought at Sephora last week that I have fallen in love with because it makes my skin have a healthy dewy glow without looking shiny.

Salting also protects against an attacker pre-computing hashes using rainbow tables or database-based lookups. This makes cracking large numbers of hashes significantly harder, as the time required grows in direct proportion to the number of hashes. As the salt is unique for every user, an attacker has to crack hashes one at a time using the respective salt rather than calculating a hash once and comparing it against every stored hash. Password Storage Concepts ¶ Salting ¶Ī salt is a unique, randomly generated string that is added to each password as part of the hashing process. It is your responsibility as an application owner to select a modern hashing algorithm. Strong passwords stored with modern hashing algorithms and using hashing best practices should be effectively impossible for an attacker to crack. While the number of permutations can be enormous, with high speed hardware (such as GPUs) and cloud services with many servers for rent, the cost to an attacker is relatively small to do successful password cracking especially when best practices for hashing are not followed. Dictionaries or wordlists of common passwords.Brute force (trying every possible candidate).Lists of passwords obtained from other compromised sites.Different methods can be used to select candidate passwords, including: This process is repeated for a large number of potential candidate passwords. If they match, you have correctly "cracked" the hash and now know the plaintext value of their password. Compare the hash you calculated to the hash of the victim.Select a password you think the victim has chosen (e.g.How Attackers Crack Password Hashes ¶Īlthough it is not possible to "decrypt" password hashes to obtain the original passwords, it is possible to "crack" the hashes in some circumstances. Where possible, an alternative architecture should be used to avoid the need to store passwords in an encrypted form.įor further guidance on encryption, see the Cryptographic Storage Cheat Sheet. This might be necessary if the application needs to use the password to authenticate with another system that does not support a modern way to programmatically grant access, such as OpenID Connect (OIDC). In the context of password storage, encryption should only be used in edge cases where it is necessary to obtain the original plaintext password. Hashing their address would result in a garbled mess. Encryption is appropriate for storing data such as a user's address since this data is displayed in plaintext on the user's profile. Even if an attacker obtains the hashed password, they cannot enter it into an application's password field and log in as the victim.Įncryption is a two-way function, meaning that the original plaintext can be retrieved. Hashing is appropriate for password validation. Hashing is a one-way function (i.e., it is impossible to "decrypt" a hash and obtain the original plaintext value). However, in almost all circumstances, passwords should be hashed, NOT encrypted. ![]() Hashing and encryption both provide ways to keep sensitive data safe. Consider using a pepper to provide additional defense in depth (though alone, it provides no additional secure characteristics).If FIPS-140 compliance is required, use PBKDF2 with a work factor of 600,000 or more and set with an internal hash function of HMAC-SHA-256. ![]()
![]() However, in order for this to work, the firmware you wish to downgrade to needs to be located on the device, otherwise it won’t pay off. If this occurs, TinyUmbrella will display a suggestive messages such as ‘You are too late’ even so, you might find a solution in iFaith, which extracts the SHSH blobs directly from your device instead of Apple’s or Cydia’s servers. ![]() It’s common knowledge that the company allocates a limited period of time for signing a specific update and so, when the interval is over, there is no possible way to retrieve the SHSH of that firmware. If, for some reason, the server is down, you can use iTunes to perform the downgrade.Ī less happy scenario is the one where Apple stops signing a certain firmware update. Using a TSS server, the restore operation is facilitated at once. In a nutshell, TinyUmbrella automatically retrieves the current firmware (SHSH blobs), then saves it locally and sends it to Cydia, which preserves it for later use. The algorithm it’s based upon is quite complicated and requires a great deal of tech knowledge to fully understand. This is a great first hand solution to a jailbroken device that you wish to restore to a previous firmware version. One of the programs that can achieve this is TinyUmbrella. The application relies on Java Runtime Environment to function, so it's a good idea to check whether or not it's on your PC, even though it's already in the deployment package. In this type of situation, the solution is a third-party application that can revert the jailbreak, so that you can go back to your old settings. Jailbreak operations don’t always pay off – discontent towards the performance or features of the new firmware is a plausible scenario, to which many users can testify. It manages to do so by backing up SHSH blobs for your phone, which makes it possible to downgrade to another firmware. TinyUmbrella is a smart utility that can revert your jailbroken iOS device to a previous update. This should be sorted and SHSH’s can be saved once again.

Not all of the comments received by the Reformer and Banner were negative. One notice he believes is likely is that bank customers will be reimbursed for any late fees incurred while an M&T Bank account can’t be accessed. The Department of Financial Regulation intends to post notices if they are received from the bank relating to the changeover, Gaffney said. I think this is something they just have to work through.” Many customers apparently were able to access their new accounts, Gaffney said he learned, but “many others needed sort of hand-holding, and this has taken time. Gaffney said he could not speak for the bank, but that it was his understanding M&T’s newly combined banking platform and system had issues with consumer accounts after information on thousands of accounts was entered. While M&T Bank is regulated on the state level by a similar New York entity, Gaffney said his department has fielded complaints from Vermonters and has been in communication with both New York regulators and M&T Bank officials. Kevin Gaffney, Vermont’s commissioner of the Department of Financial Regulation, said he has spoken to a top M&T Bank official in Vermont, attempting to “get more clarity” on the situation. He had trouble learning whether or when he should be using a new bank debit card sent to customers or his old one from People’s United, and whether an expected new bank routing number for transfers was activated or the old one should be used.Ī teller he initially talked to also seemed confused about the debit card issue, he said. ![]() Pieth said a message on the bank’s phone system continually said they were “receiving a high volume of calls” but that someone would get back to him, but no one did. “And you could never get through to anyone. “The whole thing was just so confusing,” he said Wednesday, referring to instructions and information sent to customers prior to the changeover. Reto Pieth, of Grafton, who contacted the Brattleboro Reformer after the weekend of the accounts changeover, said his issues have now been resolved. Woods said he’s now assured “all money is in the right place.” She’s the bank’s government banking manager, with whom he worked in the past. He eventually did connect with Lori Terrien, in the bank’s Burlington office. Woods added that he was on hold for two hours trying to connect with people at the bank. Management was less than useless.” SCHOOL DISTRICTĮd Woods, treasurer of the Southwest Vermont Union Elementary School District, said Wednesday he had some unsettling moments during the transition for six bank accounts he oversees involving payroll and general funding for the regional district’s schools.Īt one point, he said, “I’m transferring hundreds of thousands of dollars and there is no one to help me.” “Horrible experience with staff known to me for years. “Closed my accounts after 33 years before the transition,” commented Karen Curran. “Worst experience ever and will be switching to Bank of Bennington!” commented Melissa Foucher. Only reason it’s a slow closure is I have stuff that is automatic and therefore I have to be 100% certain everything is switched before I just close it out.” “I am in the process of a slow closure of my account of more then 20 years. “Horrible doesn’t even begin to describe what my family has experienced,” Louise McClay posted on the Bennington Banner Facebook page, responding to an inquiry by the paper about people’s experiences.
