![]() ![]() Bond, was killed by enemy small-arms fire while leading the 199th in battle, the only U.S. I later found out that the unit on the assault that day was the 199th Light Infantry Brigade, and the wounded headed for the hospital included Gen. I heard another chopper had casualties on board as they lifted off for the 3rd Field Hospital in Saigon. As we orbited 5,000 feet over the scene and out of danger, I realized what a testament to bravery, personal leadership and individual responsibility I had witnessed by so many that day. Did they go in because it was their job or because they didn't want to let their comrades down? Whatever the reason, I listened to the activity below us and watched the co-pilot making notes of the call-signs with a grease pencil on the windscreen as each crew offered themselves to the battle. It's hard to describe how much I admired the courage of those men. The decision was made to pull out the troops, and I was humbled and awed as one pilot after another landed and picked up infantry off that hot LZ. I had a camera with me and still have a photograph of all three choppers down. When that was reported over the air, our pilot joined the search, and soon we were orbiting a scene of not one, but three of our UH1s down in a field, and one was smoking. ![]() One of the choppers had been hit and lifted off the LZ only to go down in a nearby rice paddy. There were still choppers circling to land and others trying to clear the area. ![]() "Victor 3, you're on fire! Get out of here!" The situation was rapidly getting worse. I estimated that we had only a few more minutes before we landed at the HQ in Long Binh when I heard, "I'm hit! I'm hit!" One of the choppers that had just inserted an infantry unit on the landing zone below us had been hit with automatic weapons from a strong Viet Cong unit dug in on the other side of the canal. I was the sole passenger, and as we flew, had earphones on so I could listen to the radios. On one trip, returning by chopper from Tay Ninh City located close to the Cambodian border to HQ in Long Binh, I had the privilege to see the Vietnam War in full color, unedited and with the original cast.Īs we cruised over the country at about 5,000 feet, I could see the entire city of Saigon out the right door and the green jungle out the left. The country from the air was a lush green with crystal clear blue water and white sandy beaches - a perfect resort area, except for bomb craters and miles of jungle where nothing would grow, thanks to Agent Orange.īack and forth from the DMZ to the Delta or from the border to the South China Sea, I rode anything going my way. This work required me to travel all over Vietnam. I shuttled between teams, introducing them and identifying expectations and out-briefing the results and recommendations a few days later. Our team's services were in growing demand, and I split the group into two teams and sent them out to different sites. The new Army HQ was not bad - metal buildings and air conditioned. I had been a "Saigon Commando" for all of 10 days. I flew up to join the team and returned with them a couple of days later, only to find that the Army Headquarters was relocating to Long Binh, so I packed up and ended my tour in Saigon. The team was currently working in Chu Lai, on the coast just south of Da Nang. Our team would check the status of their equipment and coordinate the back-up support available. I was the chief of the Readiness Assessment Team (RAT), a team that visited units that requested assistance with equipment maintenance and supply problems. The pace of operations had taken its toll, not only on the men but also on the equipment on which they relied to get them in and out of combat. I spent the next seven months as the brigade maintenance officer and then transferred to a job in the Army Headquarters (USARV) in Saigon. We flew to the coast where we boarded a troop ship, the USS Patch, in Oakland for the 22-day trip to Vietnam. Everyone took a few days leave, and we packed our gear and headed to Vietnam. We returned to Fort Benning in November and shipped all of our equipment by way of the Suez Canal so it would be there when we arrived. Readying for deployment meant much field training, and since there was not a lot of spare room on Benning, we moved to Hattiesburg, Miss., for three months of advanced infantry training. Returning from Germany after a three-year tour, I was assigned to the 199th Separate Light Infantry Brigade, a new type of organization being activated for the Vietnam War at Fort Benning in Georgia.

![]() In 2003 Damn Cheetah released "Primal", Brown formed Damn Cheetah with members of NYC band "Blacklace" in the late 80's who also around this time frame won a New York City - SKC Music Award for Best Unsigned Hard Rock/Metal Band. NRG has shared the stage with artists such as the Goo Goo Dolls, Extreme, Joan Jett, UFO, Nazareth, Blue Öyster Cult, Kix and Judas Priest. Their song "Instruments of Destruction" is included in the compilation The Transformers The Movie: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. The final member was bass player Pat Lynch. ![]() Les never made it to the first chorus and was asked to be in the band. A search began for a singer, and after many auditions, Les Brown a native of Taunton, Massachusetts, walked into the studio, put on a set of headphones, and started to sing. NRG started when drummer Lee Mangano contacted a local guitar player named Ernie Petrangelo. This is the soundtrack of Transformers:The Movie in 1986.The soundtrack of this film was composed and produced by Vince DiCola.This song is performed by N.R. The band started out recording in a cellar and rehearsed in a chicken coop that was internally covered wall to wall with rugs to deaden the sound while they practiced. Instruments of Destruction - N.R. Instruments of destruction Tools of foul play It's a violent eruption Existence drifts away Verse 2 What's it really matter When nothing really counts Grave eternal darkness When drained of. It already has a great breadth of tools and parts, it all seems to work well and work consistently, and maybe most impressive of all, runs smooth as silk. With the 4 members, they had a hit success on their 5th album and later 6th album but after the departure of Moon Sung Hoon in 2005, it is now a three-member group again.3. There’s some great potential here for Instruments of Destruction to become the word in this flavour of video game. What sets NRG apart from other hard rock bands of the 80s is their ability to blend raw aggression with. At that time the band invested in their own 8 track recording studio to lay down tracks for their music. NRG is a Punk Band from Denmark led by lead singer Kim Ingemann. The song 'Instruments of Destruction' is a standout masterpiece that showcases the bands exceptional talent, with its blazing guitar solos, driving rhythm section, and powerful vocals that leave a lasting impression on anyone who listens. The SDM320Y-RF is MID approved (Annex B & D) complying with UK and European Standards relating to the level of accuracy when billing your customers. It is easily retro-fitted into most power pedestals behind a viewing window. NRG formed and began writing songs in 1979. The SDM320Y-RF meter is the most compact din rail mounted, 80Amp single phase prepayment meters on the market. ![]() EVGA 1200W SuperNova P2 power supply ($352 on Amazon).64GB HyperX Predator RGB DDR4/2933 ($355 on Amazon).EVGA CLC 240 closed-loop liquid cooler ($105 on Amazon).Intel Core i7-8700K processor ($300 on Amazon) overclocked to 5GHz all cores.Most of the hardware was provided by the manufacturers, but we purchased the cooler and storage ourselves. Our dedicated graphics card test system is a couple of years old, but it’s packed with some of the fastest complementary components available to put any potential performance bottlenecks squarely on the GPU, especially at the higher resolution these graphics cards target. It’s a welcome inclusion.Īs a GeForce RTX 30-series GPU, the TUF supports all of Nvidia’s far-flung software features, such as DLSS 2.0, Shadowplay, GeForce Experience, Nvidia Broadcast, Nvidia Reflex, Ansel super screenshots, CUDA and Optix optimizations for creation workloads, and Nvidia’s superior NVENC encoder for video creation.īottom line? The Asus TUF RTX 3060 Ti offers a great cooler slapped atop a great GPU, augmented by a great software stack. The stock layout includes a single HDMI 2.1 connection and a trio of DisplayPorts, but the TUF adds a second HDMI 2.1 output-perfect for people who want to power both a monitor or TV and a VR headset without swapping wires constantly. Brad Chacos/IDGĪsus also added a little something extra to the RTX 3060 Ti’s port selection. GPU Tweak II’s software-enabled OC mode can boost the TUF’s clock speed by another 30MHz with a simple button-click. Aura Sync manages lighting for all the Asus products in your system, while Asus’s GPU Tweak II software gives you finer control over your GPU’s behavior if you’re into fine-tuning things. Those mild accents are the only RGB lighting on the card, and they’re controllable with the Aura Sync feature included as part of Asus’s Armoury Crate package. Asus equipped it with an illuminated RGB TUF logo on its edge, and a tiny RGB strip of light underneath that. The RGB effects on the Asus TUF are subtle. But the default Performance mode is so cool and quiet, we can’t envision needing to use the secondary BIOS for anything but overclocking. Asus claims the Quiet mode is four times quieter than Performance mode while only two degrees warmer. Other manufacturers take note and copy this, please-it’s vastly superior to having to sift through manuals or GPU-Z settings to puzzle out each option. Brad Chacos/IDGĪsus ships this card with a welcome dual-BIOS switch next to its sole 8-pin power connector, and in an especially welcome move, it clearly labels the behaviors exhibited by each BIOS position with labeling on the backplate. Nevertheless, the cooling on this card rocks. The lack of thermal pads between the backplate and the card’s PCB means this large slab of metal doesn’t contribute to cooling any components. The Asus TUF RTX 3060 Ti includes a full-length metal backplate on the top of the card, complete with a cutout toward the end that reveals the bare heatsink, providing extra airflow in Founders Edition-like fashion. The backplate features subtle black “tire tread” markings to drive home the TUF branding. The fans stop spinning when GPU temperatures fall below 55 degrees Celsius, ensuring silence while you’re engaged in lower-intensity activities on your desktop. The black shroud is also aluminum and holds a trio of axial fans with nine blades apiece and dual ball bearings. A polished coldplate provides coverage for the memory modules as well, with the help of well-placed thermal pads. The TUF 3060 Ti includes a massive aluminum heatsink bristling with heatpipes. It’s significantly larger.Īsus stuffed all that space with cooling. Nvidia’s RTX 3060 Ti Founders Edition (left) next to the Asus TUF (right). It’s also thicker, expanding to fill 2.7 slots (though to be honest, high-end graphics cards tend to be bigger than two slots more often than not these days). While the Founders Edition measures 9.5 inches long and 3.75 inches wide in a standard two-slot design, the pleasantly plump Asus TUF RTX 3060 Ti falls a hair under 12 inches long and a full inch wider. It’s significantly larger than Nvidia’s Founders Edition model. You can literally see why Asus charges a premium for the TUF in this segment. The payload displays a message informing the user that files have been encrypted, and demands a payment of 400 USD or Euro through an anonymous pre-paid cash voucher (i.e. The process only encrypts data files with certain extensions, including Microsoft Office, OpenDocument, and other documents, pictures, and AutoCAD files. The payload then encrypts files across local hard drives and mapped network drives with the public key, and logs each file encrypted to a registry key. The server may be a local proxy and go through others, frequently relocated in different countries to make tracing them more difficult. It then attempts to contact one of several designated command and control servers once connected, the server generates a 2048-bit RSA key pair, and sends the public key back to the infected computer. When first run, the payload installs itself in the user profile folder, and adds a key to the registry that causes it to run on startup. CryptoLocker was also propagated using the Gameover ZeuS trojan and botnet. A ZIP file attached to an email message contains an executable file with the filename and the icon disguised as a PDF file, taking advantage of Windows' default behaviour of hiding the extension from file names to disguise the real. Other instances of encryption-based ransomware that have followed have used the "CryptoLocker" name (or variations), but are otherwise unrelated.ĬryptoLocker typically propagated as an attachment to a seemingly innocuous e-mail message, which appears to have been sent by a legitimate company. It is believed that the operators of CryptoLocker successfully extorted a total of around $3 million from victims of the trojan. During the operation, a security firm involved in the process obtained the database of private keys used by CryptoLocker, which was in turn used to build an online tool for recovering the keys and files without paying the ransom. Some victims claimed that paying the ransom did not always lead to the files being decrypted.ĬryptoLocker was isolated in late May 2014 via Operation Tovar, which took down the Gameover ZeuS botnet that had been used to distribute the malware. Many said that the ransom should not be paid, but did not offer any way to recover files others said that paying the ransom was the only way to recover files that had not been backed up. There was no guarantee that payment would release the encrypted content.Īlthough CryptoLocker itself was easily removed, the affected files remained encrypted in a way which researchers considered unfeasible to break. If the deadline was not met, the malware offered to decrypt data via an online service provided by the malware's operators, for a significantly higher price in bitcoin. The malware then displayed a message which offered to decrypt the data if a payment (through either bitcoin or a pre-paid cash voucher) was made by a stated deadline, and it threatened to delete the private key if the deadline passes. When activated, the malware encrypted certain types of files stored on local and mounted network drives using RSA public-key cryptography, with the private key stored only on the malware's control servers. ![]() It propagated via infected email attachments, and via an existing Gameover ZeuS botnet. The attack utilized a trojan that targeted computers running Microsoft Windows, and was believed to have first been posted to the Internet on 5 September 2013. The CryptoLocker ransomware attack was a cyberattack using the CryptoLocker ransomware that occurred from 5 September 2013 to late May 2014.
