When you know your weaknesses, they can turn into strengths if you can use this knowledge to your advantage.

Before we start this article, we would like to say that we are not trying to make anyone feel bad about their shortcomings. We just want to help each person blossom and grow into their best version, and for this you need to know about your weaknesses and strengths.

Well, now, we want to talk about the main weakness of each zodiac sign, so that you realize them and learn how to cope with them. When you know your weaknesses, they can turn into strengths if you can use that knowledge to your advantage.

ARIES 03/21-04/19
Aries do not like when someone other than themselves is in charge, because they like to take the reins of power at any opportunity. While Aries are natural leaders, they can sometimes get carried away and won't listen to the opinions of others.

Aries also tend to make decisions without thinking through them fully and can come across as overly aggressive and easily annoyed.

TAURUS 20.04-20.05
Taurus is a very stable and reliable sign, however, he can get stuck in his own way and not want to change or grow when necessary. They love to do what they do best and do not try anything new in life because of the fear of failure.

They have a lot of pride, which is partly why they like to stay in their comfort zone. They find something they are good at, make it a habit, and may not see other options or opportunities that come their way.

Taurus can really be stubborn like bulls, so if you want to convince them of something, you need to train maximum patience.

GEMINI 21.05-20.06
Gemini, you both discourage us and delight us at the same time. Indeed, it seems that you have a split personality and can never make a final decision.

Although this makes you an interesting and intriguing person. You always have something to talk about, although sometimes it seems that you are not listening. You constantly change your mind, and therefore it is difficult to keep up with you. You are constantly changing like a chameleon, but you stand out, not blend in.

You are a mystery to us, and maybe even to yourself. Geminis often don't feel "fulfilled" in life, perhaps because they can't even decide what they really want to achieve.

RAK 21.06 -22.07
Cancers have a beautiful, sensitive, gentle soul, but their emotions often take over them so much that they are completely paralyzed. Cancers have a lot of self-esteem issues and often look to others for approval or recognition. Cancers need to be nurtured and groomed, and that can be too much for partners, close friends, and family.

Cancerians can give a lot of love, but sometimes they put the needs of others ahead of their own. Cancerians can also change their mood in the blink of an eye and are very prone to anxiety and depression. They also tend to be both pessimists and idealists.

They don't have much faith in the world because it doesn't look like the imaginary one they created in their head. Cancerians are also prone to laziness and procrastination.

LEV 23.07-22.08
How fire sign, Leo is constantly on the move. Leos love to be the center of attention, but sometimes they forget that others need to be given glory time too. Leos have a lot of pride, and this arrogance can annoy people.

Leos can also get stuck in their opinions, which can make them appear inflexible and inflexible. They do not really like to listen to the opinions of others, because they know everything better than anyone. The egocentric nature of Leos also makes long-term relationships with others more difficult.

VIRGO 08/23-09/22
Virgos have an overly analytical mind, which can be either a strong or a weak trait. They like to analyze and determine the causes of everything, but sucking on the same problem in search of a solution makes them prone to worries and anxiety.

They are also prone to obsessive-compulsive disorder because they need things to happen in a certain way and get off balance when something goes wrong.

Virgos also have a very old soul, which makes them work too hard and get too little rest. They are also very critical of themselves and others, which makes it difficult to connect with others.

LIBRA 23.09-22.10
Libra, by nature, is a calm and peaceful sign, but they can just lash out at you if you do something they don't like. Although, instead of telling you about the problem to your face, they will not talk to you or will behave passive-aggressively because they hate conflicts.

But people don't always like to resolve conflicts, which means that if Libra doesn't learn to face problems rather than avoid them, they could lose their friendship.

Libras can also hold a grudge against someone, which only exacerbates their problem of avoiding conflict whenever possible. They may focus too much on the bad things in their lives instead of channeling their energy into bringing about the good.

SCORPIO 23.10-21.11
Scorpios can be very loving and spontaneous, but at the same time, their jealousy and distrustful nature can ruin romantic relationships and friendships. And never do anything bad to them, because they will make a revenge plan to teach you a lesson and try to "get even".

Scorpios often keep everything to themselves due to trust issues, and it is difficult for them to get close to others because of this. They have very deep emotions, but they don't show them much because they don't want to feel vulnerable.

SAGITTARIUS 22.11-21.12
Sagittarians are natural explorers. They easily feel bored, so they find it difficult to complete any project. They hate someone's influence and when they are told what to do.

This can easily get them into trouble if they don't find a happy medium. Sagittarians also have no filters and can be rude or tactless depending on who they are with.

Sagittarians are also very intolerant; and they will easily leave the project if it doesn't go the way they want. They need a lot of freedom and space to roam, which sometimes makes them seem unfriendly and windy.

CAPRICORN 22.12-19.01
Capricorns can work themselves to death and forget how to take care of themselves and just relax sometimes. They are obsessed with status and money because these two things represent the stability and success in life that they so desire in life.

Capricorns can show off a lot about their work or accomplishments, which can alienate people from them. It is difficult for them to open up to others, and they think of themselves higher than other people. But they have hidden insecurities, and they are actually afraid of the opinions and thoughts of others.

Therefore, they have a bad habit of gossiping about other people and discussing only facts, not opinions. They are also pessimists and expect the worst case scenario in any situation.

AQUARIUS 20.01-18.02
Aquarius is another difficult sign to understand. On the one hand, they Good friends due to his ability to communicate and diverse interests. But they have difficulty expressing emotions, which can make it difficult to keep friends or partners.

They deeply despise anything that is too boring or familiar and they have an incredible thirst for adventure and travel. Because of this, it is difficult for them to stay in one place and focus on responsibilities and activities that are simply part of life in today's world.

Aquarius can seem unfriendly because they stay in their small world rather than joining what is going on around them.

FISH 19.02-20.03
Last but not least, Pisces. An emotional, sensitive, finicky water sign who loves creative expression and is always looking to help others. But Pisces, like Cancers, can let their strong emotions get the better of them.

Pisces can also go out of their way to help someone but forget to take care of themselves and pay attention to themselves. They also find it difficult to face reality and want to escape from it in any way possible.

If they can't find a creative outlet, this desire to run away can lead them down a dark path if they're not careful. Their violent emotions make them prone to anxiety and depression.

Ford Focus is among the leaders of the Russian car market from year to year. In the secondary market, this model is also in great demand, but in this case, you need to choose the right car. First of all, the future owner of the "Focus" should pay attention to the most problematic places.

Representatives of the second generation of "Focuses" seem to be crowding out even domestic products. And although you can hear from skeptics that this machine is devoid of personality, and it is only suitable for office plankton, this is not so. Indeed, from the very foundation of Ford, the most important task was the production of mass-produced cars that would combine high quality and minimum price. If someone wants something more original, then you can buy, for example, the third Mazda, which is technically no different, standing out only with a different “package”. However, it is worth disassembling the "Focus" on the shelves. It will also be useful to compare it with the Mazda 3.

Salon and body Ford Focus

Both Mazda and Ford have a body that feels confident in the conditions of the Russian winter. The problem is the rapidly cloudy Ford paintwork. In addition, in places such as thresholds, arches, hood and bumper, the paint may even begin to peel off in just a few years. However, due to the good galvanizing of the body, it does not come to corrosion. At Mazda, the situation is about the same, with the only difference being that softer metal is used here.

Everything is decent with the interior of Ford and Mazda, and they are similar even in interior design. By the way, good view the interior saves even when the car's mileage exceeds 300 thousand kilometers. This undoubted plus should be taken into account when buying, so as not to consider an old car as fresher than it really is.

Suspension Ford Focus

The similarity between the Ford Focus and the Mazda 3 is largely determined by the universal C1 platform, which was noted on such cars as the Mazda 5, Ford Focus C-Max, Volvo S40, and more. I must say that this platform is available on both generations of the third Mazda. The whole difference between the first and second generation is in the different settings of silent blocks, springs, stabilizers and shock absorbers. As a result, the Mazda 3 of the second generation has somewhat lost the qualities that were most valued in this car - playfulness and sharpness. However, despite this, even it remains somewhat more reckless than the Ford Focus II. But if some innovator decides to "outweigh" the "Ford" suspension on the Mazda, this will not lead to anything worthwhile due to some differences. These differences concern for the most part the front: the lower arms and subframe of the Mazda are somewhat different.

The resource of running elements for both cars is approximately the same. It is difficult to say how long the suspension can live, since a lot of different factors affect its condition. But in general, we can say that under normal operating conditions, both the rear and front suspension live an average of 80,000 km (with original spare parts). After this period, as a rule, all silent blocks and suspension assemblies with levers are changed. Sometimes they are replaced individually with non-original spare parts, but experience shows that this practice does not justify itself and the result will not have to be enjoyed for long.

It should be noted that even if the car has low mileage and ideal condition, but it has an age of five or six years, you should not count on the same resource as a new car. The reason for this is rubber bushings, which lose their qualities over time and can break by 25-30 thousand shoots.

The front shock absorbers are also sensitive to operating conditions. If the roads are bad, then they can last 120 thousand meters, and only 60 thousand. The first option is more likely in the case of driving on flat roads. Thrust bearings fail along with shock absorbers, so it makes more sense to change them at the same time. Usually, by this time, the front wheel bearings, which are assembled with the hub, have exhausted their resources. Rear bearings can last twice as long.

Another feature is the ball bearings, which are tenacious even in Russian conditions, which, on average, overcome the milestone of 150,000 km. On the Mazda, they need to be changed along with the levers, and on the Ford, this can be done separately: for this, it is enough to cut off the rivets and put the part on the bolts. I must say that the “grinder” can be very useful when repairing the chassis of the Ford Focus, in light of the fact that its threaded connections tend to stick strongly. As for Mazda, it does not have this problem and, most likely, this is due to other components.

There were no complaints about the brakes. However, if the rear discs can properly "brake" about 100,000 km, then the front ones can endure much less - about 60,000 km. On average, brake pads run about 30 thousand km, but not in a metropolis, where this period should be reduced.

Ford Focus engines

The "Focuses" of the Russian assembly had five engine options. All of them can be conditionally divided into two groups: with a chain drive of 1.8 and 2 liters and "belt" of 1.4 and 1.6 liters. The most reliable and also the easiest to maintain are the "belt" versions 1.4 and 1.6 for 80 and 100 hp. In constructive terms, they almost do not differ from each other, and every 80-90 thousand km is enough for their maintenance. change the belt with rollers and every 30 thousand km - candles.

With the replacement of spark plugs, it is better not to delay, as they often turn sour. This is especially true for 1.6-liter engines. And if the candle breaks off when unscrewing, you will have to change or repair the block head.

1.6 liter Ti-VCT engine with 115 hp also belongs to the "belt" group, but has a difference in the form of a mechanism for changing the valve timing. Its clutches are not reliable, and this is especially true for the first versions of the car. Therefore, every second belt replacement, it is advisable to change them too.

With Duratec engines of 1.8 and 2 liters (125 and 145 hp), there will be a little more trouble, especially with 1.8. Here, the firmware of the ECU block, which is deservedly considered unfinished, can deliver trouble. This is expressed in a lack of traction, starting on the second or third attempt, and unstable idling. In addition, on both engines, upon reaching the hundred thousandth mileage, the generator may fail. By the way, similar problems often appear after washing the motor.

After the factory increased the service interval to 20,000 km, the engines began to gradually absorb oil, and in such quantities that the owners of the Focus had to add it to a liter every week. With such a run, especially in "cork" conditions, the properties of the oil are lost, which results in a decrease in efficiency and "occurrence" of oil scraper rings. As a preventive measure, one can name an oil change at ten thousand km.

Mazda has similar problems - its three-liter unit is almost the same as Ford's. As for the 1.6-liter engine, there are already noticeably more differences. 105 hp unit almost does not need service and has a timing chain drive, capable of surviving up to 300,000 km under normal operating conditions.

Another property of Ford engines is the absence of a separate fuel filter. In the case of the Focus, it is built into the fuel pump. You can get to it by removing the gas tank. And if you use high-quality fuel, then it will last at least 150,000 km.

Ford Focus transmission

And on the "Focuses", and on the "Mazda" it is quite reliable. Ford's "mechanics" with a 1.8-liter engine were most criticized: an aggressive environment can disable the axis of the satellites in the differential. True, this rarely happens. In order not to bring the box to a costly complete bulkhead, you should contact the service as soon as strange noises begin to come from somewhere below.

There are no complaints about the “automatic” at all. It is very reliable, although not too fast. Both on automatic machines and on mechanics, an oil change is recommended upon reaching 50-60 thousand km. run. But on the "Focuses" with a two-liter unit and "automatic" internal CV joints wear out pretty quickly - their average mileage is somewhere around 100,000 km. True, in the early versions, both internal and external CV joints had a resource of over 200,000 km.

Steering Ford Focus

Although Ford steering racks differ from Mazda racks in different fastenings and characteristics, they are equally good for all the differences. There are almost no problems, and in trouble-free operating conditions, oil will flow no earlier than after 200,000 km. As for the steering tips, their life expectancy is 100-150 thousand km. On cars with a "chain" unit, there are reliable electric hydraulic boosters that almost never create problems.

As for the versions with engines of 1.4 and 1.6 liters, they are equipped with a classic power steering, which in the spring can behave quite capriciously, however, not always. The reason is the accumulation of condensate in the system, due to which the bypass valves freeze. If this happens, there is a high chance that the oil pipes will “leak” while turning the steering wheel. You can prevent this by waiting until the engine compartment warms up and the steering wheel gains freedom during rotation. Changing the oil in the system every 50,000 km can also bring benefits.

Conclusion

The third generation Ford Focus has become more complex in terms of design and, accordingly, more expensive. In this regard, the second generation Focus is perceived as the optimum: the disadvantages inherent in the first generation have already been eliminated, and the complexity of the power units has not yet reached the degree that can be observed on the third model. The absence of unnecessary complexity in a used car in general is a definite plus.

In view of this, the second generation Focus and Mazda 3 are perhaps the best representatives of the secondary market in the golf class. Both the engines and transmissions are quite reliable, and the interior trim is resistant to damage. And since the number of copies on the market is very large, there is always the opportunity to choose a car that is not worn out. A big plus is the affordable service and the abundance of spare parts. To date, none of the competitors can boast of such.

term "vulnerability"in the computer field, they indicate flaws in the system, using which you can intentionally harm its operation. Such vulnerabilities arise as a result of errors in the programming process, flaws in the design of the system, weak passwords, viruses and rogue malware, script and SQL injections.

Not only websites, but also different kind Software can have vulnerabilities and suffer from them over time if attackers find them and perform illegal actions. Indeed, some vulnerabilities are very dangerous for sites and can significantly harm your projects. Therefore, it is important to know what vulnerabilities exist and how they can affect an online project.

Simple steps to improve website security.

I will review the most dangerous types of vulnerabilities according to the TOP 10 OWASP project in 2017. Let's start with the most important, and those that are less significant will be at the bottom of the list. Be sure to read this information, perhaps it will help protect your site from dangers.

What types of website vulnerabilities should be highlighted?

1. Injection

The most popular injection types are SQL, OS, XXE and LDAP. These are vulnerabilities that appear in the process of passing unverified user input to the interpreter for execution. That is, any user can execute arbitrary code in the interpreter. With the help of them, the fraudster gains access to the database, reads hidden data, and can even write down their values. Injections occur when the data is not checked for escape sequences and commands, such as quotes in SQL.

1. Authentication and session check errors

For most applications, it becomes necessary to identify users to work with them. There are times when the functions for authentication and session management are implemented incorrectly. This allows hackers to gain access to user accounts without using passwords. In this case, session keys or tokens are intercepted.

1. XSS Vulnerability

The first two points discussed relate to sites and the server. An XSS vulnerability poses more of a threat to the user than to the server machine. XSS works in the user's browser and makes it possible to steal his information. XSS or Cross-Site Scripting works in JavaScript on the same principle as injections. The hacker passes a special string in some field, in the line of JS code, the browser decides that this code is sent by the site and launches it. This code can be anything. To avoid this situation, you must escape all special characters using the htmlspecialchars function or its equivalent methods.

1. Access Control Errors

There are cases when, by mistake, information becomes available to ordinary users for ordinary users, which in fact should be hidden. Most often this happens on popular CMS. For example, due to files in the root of the site: the wp-config.php file with database access passwords is not available due to the php extension. When it is edited in Vim and saved incorrectly, a backup copy is created with the .swp extension, and it can then be opened in a web browser without problems.

Access control errors also include errors in the application code that open access to hidden data for unauthorized users.

1. Misconfiguration

For any application or site to be as secure as possible, a well-designed application/framework-level configuration and properly configured servers are essential first and foremost. These settings should be constantly maintained and updated to prevent problems in the future. As you know, the default configuration of most services is not secure enough, and the software must be kept up to date.

1. Unprotected sensitive data

Unfortunately, a large number of web applications, sites and APIs do not protect the user's confidential information and transmit it in the clear. And it can be not only passwords, tokens and keys, but financial information that must be protected at the maximum level. First of all, this can be done using the https protocol, which is connected after purchase.

1. Poor attack defense

This problem is seen in many applications and APIs that do not even have basic capabilities to detect, prevent and respond to manual and automatic attacks. Protection against attacks, of course, is not only a basic verification of the compliance of the login and password. This is the detection, logging and even blocking of invalid login attempts and other unauthorized actions. All this is done for the safety of the user and protection of his information from theft by intruders.

1. CSRF Vulnerabilities

Using a CSRF or Cross-Site Request Forgery attack, the scammer forces the victim's browser to send an HTTP request, including cookies, session files, etc., to the vulnerable web application.

That is, the hacker gets the opportunity to generate requests from the victim's browser, which the application considers correct and sent by the victim herself. Such a situation can arise, for example, when you simply open a link, and the Internet resource is already sending your friends a notification with an advertisement without your permission or completely deletes your account.

1. Using components with vulnerabilities

Components (libraries, frameworks, and software modules) operate with capabilities that are similar to applications. Therefore, if a component has a vulnerability, then a fraudster who performs an attack can steal important data or even gain access to server management. Applications and APIs that use components with vulnerabilities can expose themselves to attacks and greatly compromise their security.

1. Insecure APIs

APIs are very important and requested additions to every application on the Web. They can work with SOAP/XML, REST/JSON, RPC, GWT protocols. But it often happens that they are also not safe and have a lot of errors that open up vulnerabilities for sites.

What Internet projects are the most vulnerable?

Positive Tehnologics conducted a special study and provided a report on the most vulnerable sites. They turned out to be Internet resources that were written in PHP using their own engine. Resources using Java/ASP.NET technologies and commercial CMS became the safest. Remember that the main goal of a cybercriminal is to control the site, and the presence of vulnerabilities will only help him achieve them. Therefore, it is better to spend money on developing a secure site than to “treat” vulnerabilities later and suffer from them.

How to find and fix Internet resource vulnerabilities?

This question is of interest to many developers and site owners. As we have already discussed, the most common causes of site security threats can be: low-quality site/server code or Open-Source CMS. Therefore, it is very important to monitor the occurrence of possible vulnerabilities in your Internet project using special means. For example, special programs have been developed for these purposes.

It is also worth considering the fact that attackers, for their part, have many tools for automatically testing each type of vulnerability, for finding vulnerable sites and for finding vulnerabilities on the server. Therefore, it is really important to update the CMS on time, because most of the known errors are found in free systems.

The human body is an amazing apparatus, since ancient times we have studied our body in the hope of discovering all the secrets of our body. Years of study have made us understand that our body, although it looks perfect, also has a lot of flaws.

We used to call them pain points. Pain points are vulnerable places on the body, a blow to which causes acute pain in a person. They are called dots because of the method of pinpointing weak spots.

How to determine the strength of the impact

The modern method for determining the force of impact on a painful point is determined by five levels:

1. 1. The first the level of this weak blow, which does not cause serious damage to the attacker, but serves only as a distraction for retaliation to the opponent's attacks.
   2. Second has a slightly stronger effect in a fight compared to the first.
   3. Third same - these are attacks that can lead to stunning the enemy or numbness of the affected limbs. Such techniques will allow you to neutralize the enemy for a short period of time.

1. Impact on points fourth level may have serious consequences, blows often lead to injuries or loss of consciousness, sometimes the result of interaction with points is paralysis.
2. blows fifth levels are extremely dangerous for the opponent's health, techniques can be fatal.

Now, you should pay attention to the fact that all pain points bodies can be divided into conditional groups - points of the head, torso and legs.

Head pain points

The first points we will look at are the points of the head. These include: eyes, nose, ears, temples, lips and chin.

Eyes

The eyes are one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body, any blow to them will cause pain. To damage the eyes, a simple “fork” technique is suitable. However, there is a possibility that your fingers can intercept and twist, be on the lookout.

Even a mild direct blow to the nose almost guarantees bleeding and severe discomfort. For more effective result blow, it is recommended to use a “catchy” blow with the knuckles on the convex part of the nose to the side. Such a blow guarantees a painful shock to the opponent.

Whiskey

In this place, blows have the most serious consequences, since the skull is most vulnerable in this area, traumatic nerves and arteries are dangerously close to the surface of the skin. Most different types of strokes can result in lethal outcome or severe head injury.

Upper lip

She is one of the most vulnerable parts of the head. A strong beat at an angle of 20-30 can cause brain injury, and the usual burning pain in the area of ​​application.

Selections

Backhand attacks provide optimal effect when used fisticuffs possible injury to the hand.

Pharynx

Vulnerable point - a depression at the bottom point, you should use the poke method with your fingers. The attack causes breathing difficulties and spasm in the lungs.

Adam's apple

Most attack options in this place are fatal. It is recommended to use tearing grips.

An attack with the back of the hand knocks out the opponent.

Torso pain points

Solar plexus

The blow should be delivered with a fist. Such a blow causes burning pain, which causes a person to bend or kneel.

Attention: too much swipe in the area of ​​the solar plexus can lead to death!

armpits

In the armpit, the large one passes close to the skin, so any blow there causes severe pain, temporarily paralyzing the enemy.

Belly, groin and kidneys

A punch to the stomach forces the opponent to bend, which will allow additional blows to the back or neck, a kick toe is no less effective.

The groin is one of the most convenient points for a strike. A kick, fist, palm, knee immobilizes the opponent.

Hits on the kidneys can cause nervous shock and death without proper medical care. help, blows should be applied with the edge of the palm, as well as with the knee.

false edge

A blow to this rib can be applied from both sides of the body, but a stronger effect is manifested by a blow to the right side of the opponent. You should hit with your elbow, knee or edge of the palm.

Pain points of the legs

Lap

Blows to the knee, its lateral part and to the patella should be applied with the edge of the boot. This technique immobilizes the enemy, damaging the ligaments and the knee joint.

Ankles

The blow should be applied with the outer edge of the boot, keeping it perpendicular to the ankle. Kicking with the toe of the boot is extremely ineffective and it is recommended not to use it.

Shin

In the shin area, the bone is the least thin and, accordingly, poorly protected. The impact with the outer edge of the foot at the level of 1/3 of the height of the lower leg from below is most effective.

Foot

The most vulnerable and fragile bones are located in the foot. Blows to these bones easily lead to their destruction. Basically, these are strikes with the heel or foot from top to bottom. It is recommended to carry out when the enemy is behind you.

Strikes on pain points are often used in special combat techniques. Special combat techniques are aimed at ensuring a person's safety in situations where his life is threatened by a mortal threat.

Not a single special combat technique is aimed at the deliberate killing of a person, but only to disarm (immobilize) the enemy.

Watch the training video in which a self-defense specialist talks about working with pain points:
