![]() A quick 800 megabyte download later and I was faced with a wonderful color filled world where I could find some cute bouncy fellows and put them in cages of my own to exploit later for money. I did a quick search for it on the ol' Steam and found out that it was also on sale for a pretty reasonable price at around $14.00 so I shrugged and clicked "purchase for myself". I thought then that Slime Rancher looked more interesting than I was giving it credit for. One afternoon I was killing time on YouTube when I ran across a Jim Sterling video about what looked to be some adorable bouncy little fellows that he had put in a cage.

![]() and other countries that respect the rule of law, but also to repressive governments that persecute their own people, where the definition of “criminal” might just mean being gay or criticizing the government. But a lot of vendors in this industry, the industry of selling surveillance technologies to governments, sell not only to the U.S. The vendors of these kinds of tools love to get up on their high horse and talk about how they’re the “good guys,” they help keep the world safe from criminals and terrorists. As Signal’s blog post notes, “Their customer list has included authoritarian regimes in Belarus, Russia, Venezuela, and China death squads in Bangladesh military juntas in Myanmar and those seeking to abuse and oppress in Turkey, UAE, and elsewhere.” Plus, ICE has contracts with Cellebrite worth tens of millions of dollars.īut Cellebrite has lots of customers besides U.S. “The mobile forensics process aims to recover digital evidence or relevant data from a mobile device in a way that will preserve the evidence in a forensically sound condition,” using accepted methods, so that it can later be presented in court.īetween Cellebrite and the other vendors in the industry of mobile device forensics tools, there are over two thousand law enforcement agencies across the country that have such tools - including 49 of the 50 biggest cities in the U.S. is to be used by law enforcement in criminal investigations, typically with a warrant under the Fourth Amendment that allows them to search someone’s phone and seize data from it.Ĭellebrite’s products are part of the industry of “mobile device forensics” tools. Nevertheless, I have a raised eyebrow for Signal here too.Ĭellebrite is an Israeli company that, per Signal’s blog post, “makes software to automate physically extracting and indexing data from mobile devices.” A common use case here in the U.S. Is that motion likely to succeed? What will be the likely ramifications of Signal's discovery in court cases? I think the impact on existing cases will be negligible, but that Signal has made an important point that may help push the mobile device forensics industry towards greater accountability for their often sloppy product security. ![]() While Cellebrite has since taken steps to mitigate the vulnerability, there's already been a motion for a new trial filed in at least one criminal case on the basis of Signal's blog post. ![]() In April, the team behind the popular end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) chat app Signal published a blog post detailing how they had obtained a Cellebrite device, analyzed the software, and found vulnerabilities that would allow for arbitrary code execution by a device that's being scanned with a Cellebrite tool.Īs coverage of the blog post pointed out, the vulnerability draws into question whether Cellebrite's tools are reliable in criminal prosecutions after all. It's popular with law enforcement agencies as a tool for gathering digital evidence from smartphones in their custody. Cellebrite's software extracts data from mobile devices and generates a report about the extraction. You may have seen a story in the news recently about vulnerabilities discovered in the digital forensics tool made by Israeli firm Cellebrite. (I kinda doubt they’ll hire me again if they read this, though.) Full disclosure: I’ve done some consulting work for Signal, albeit not on anything like this issue. This blog post is based off of a talk I gave on at the Stanford Computer Science Department’s weekly lunch talk series on computer security topics.

They are tasked with guarding key or sensitive locations in Kyrat, such as Pagan, Yuma and the gate to north Kyrat and Durgesh while some are stationed in Shanath Arena as part of the challenge itself. After they stormed the palace by force, they killed the distant heir to the throne and betrayed everyone, successfully making a power grab. Originally a Triad empire in Hong Kong, they came to Kyrat alongside Pagan Min and Yuma during the Kyrati Civil War and allied themselves with the Royalists in their struggle. They also make use of better weaponry and vehicles and are more vicious and malicious than their normal counterparts. ![]() They can be found patrolling the North and Himalayas.Ĭompared to the Royal Army they are much better trained and have superior armor.

The "General of the Army" was Paul De Pleur, who also served as their "Chief Interrogator".
![]() The MRF causes disappearance of the Mullerian duct (the female tube) and the testosterone retains the Wolffian system and induces the formation of the rest of the male genitalia (epididymis, vas deferens, and the male external genitals). After the testes are formed, two hormones, testosterone, and Mullerian regression factor (MRF), are elaborated by them in the male fetus. The presence of one healthy Y chromosome causes the cortex to regress and the testis develops but if the chromosomes are both X, then ovary develops and the medulla is regressed. The primitive gonad is bisexual and has two distinctive parts: The inner medulla with the potentiality of developing into testes and the outer cortex with the potentiality of developing into ovaries. Two halves of the body, therefore, remain in one organism. So masculinity and femininity are not mutually exclusive. A female gamete always bears one X chromosome and a male gamete may either possess one X chromosome or on Y chromosome. It is the predominance of one over the other sex which determines the sexuality. Each human organism bears the potentiality of both male and female sex. ![]() When they become one, Ardhanareeshwara becomes a being of generative and constructive force.Ī human being is not a pure unisexual organism. However, the great mother does not exist without Shiva. All that power in creation, maintenance, and dissolution rests with Shakti. Shiva is Shava (dead body) without Shakti. Shiva is viewed as the holder of power, though he is inert. When it comes to worshipping of Ardhanareeshwara, some worship the Shiva aspect and some worship the Shakti aspect. Shiva and Shakti exist in Nirmala Turiya state (stainless purity). He is one she is many he is infinite and she renders the infinite into finite he is formless and she renders the formless into myriad forms but both are one. Shiva is static Shakti is dynamic and creative. Shakti part is golden, while Shiva's part is snow-white. This fusion of Shiva and Shakti representing the male and female halves transcends the distinction between and limitation of male and female and takes the lord to the level of beyond-gender manifest Brahman, realization of which means liberation. One can state that even in gender definition, this aspect became the fundamental root of Advaitha. The Master then absorbed her in half of himself and thus was created the half-man half-woman aspect of Lord Shiva, symbolizing the oneness of all beings. Her pleased husband through his divine powers granted her this wish. Mother Shakti once propitiated Lord Shiva with such a fervent intensity that she be part of him in body and mind. And the cycle of time, the process of recreation begins all over again. In this new construction, he is the Father of Brahma. As Ardhanareeswara, Shiva destroys the old, for in destruction, there is renewal, it cleanses and constructs anew. A symbol of the Samkhya philosophy which talks of Purusha (the male energy) and Prakriti (the female energy) together makes the cosmic energy. In this aspect, he draws the feminine into his own self. The Ardhanareeswara is the concept that Shiva stands for. One of the 64 manifestations of Shiva, the man, woman form with Parvati constituting the left half of Shiva is Ardhanareeswara. The matching of opposites produces the true rhythm of life. The modern world has come to understand the concept of “Ardhanareeshwara” as it aspires to resolve the paradox of opposites into a unity, not by negation, but through positive experiences of life. Neurohormonal mechanisms have been found to be greatly influencing the sexual behavior. A human being is not a pure unisexual organism. It conveys that Shiva and Shakti are one and the same. Ardhanareeshvara harmonizes the two conflicting ways of life: The spiritual way of the ascetic as represented by Shiva, and the materialistic way of the householder symbolized by Parvati. The male half stands for Purusha and female half is Prakriti. It conveys the unity of opposites in the universe. Ardhanareeshvara symbolizes male and female principles cannot be separated. The Ardhanareeshvara represents a constructive and generative power. It is believed that the God is Lord Shiva and the woman part is his consort Goddess Parvati or Shakti. ![]() Ardhanareeshvara is a combination of three words “Ardha,” “Nari,” and “Ishwara” means “half,” “woman,” and “lord,” respectively, which when combined means the lord whose half is a woman.

In grazing rhinos ( Ceratotherium), the cheek teeth are hypsodont, but they are brachydont in the other genera. The canines and incisors are vestigial except for the lower incisors in Asian rhinos, which are developed into powerful slashing tusks. Rhinos have 24-34 teeth, mostly premolars and molars for grinding (dental formula 1-2/0-1, 0/1-1, 3-4/3-4, 3/3). There is a strongly developed occipital crest. The surface of the nasals where the horns sit is roughened. Nasal bones project forward freely and may extend beyond and above the Rhinos have an elongate skull, which is elevated posteriorly. Their thick skin is scantily-haired and wrinkled, furrowed or pleated, producing the appearance of riveted armor plates in some species. Rhinos have small eyes and fairly short but prominent and erect ears. Both hind and forefeet are mesaxonic with 3 digits each each digit with a small hoof. Tibia/fibula are only slightly moveable, but they are well-developed and separate. Rhinos have a broad chest and short, stumpy legs. The horns are dermal in origin they are very solid and are composed of compressed, fibrous keratin. Rhinos have massive bodies and a large head with 1-2 horns. All rhinos are generally restricted to areas where a daily trip to water is possible. Rhinoceroses generally inhabit savannahs, shrubby regions and dense forests, and the African species usually live in more open areas than do the Asiatic species. Three of these species are found in south-central Asia and the other two live in Africa south of the Sahara. They are represented by 5 species placed in 4 genera. The family Rhinoceroteridae contains living rhinoceroses. ![]() You can always make do with the stalk mic sticking out of your gaming headset, but there are very few that can come close to matching the recording quality of even the cheapest gaming mic on this list.

GeForce requires a 25Mbps internet connection minimum, with either an Ethernet or 5GHz Wi-Fi connection to your device, to play 1080p60 games. The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3080 graphics cards deliver the ultra performance that gamers crave, powered by AmpereNVIDIA’s 2nd gen RTX architecture. Because of this, it needs to be able to stream graphics and audio very quickly from the server, and command inputs to the server. ![]() Game-streaming services like GeForce Now work by connecting your computer, smartphone, or other device to a server that has much more processing power, and using that server to run the game you want to play with better performance than your local device can. You can find pre-built and custom-built gaming PCs with RTX 3080s, but then you spend even more for the entire box. GeForce RTX 3080 cards still cost well over $1,000, with scalpers pushing that price even higher. The $100 six-month subscription is twice as expensive as Priority membership, which is $100 for one year, but access to an RTX 3080 might be worth it to some users. GeForce Now also has a free membership tier, but it only supports hour-long play sessions with no RTX. GeForce Now RTX 3080 membership also enables sessions up to eight hours at a time compared with six for Priority membership. If you’re a current (or aspiring) 4K gamer, Nvidias ferocious, field-redefining GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card is the only one worth considering. This is a significant bump in power over the service's Priority subscription tier, which can stream games at up to 1080p60 (though both tiers enable RTX graphics processing features like ray tracing). The GeForce Now RTX 3080 membership is $99.99 for a six-month subscription, and offers users enough PC gaming capabilities to play any GeForce Now-compatible game at up to 1440p120 on PCs and Macs, 4K60 on Nvidia Shield TV devices, and 120Hz action on certain Android devices with compatible screens. Nvidia has announced a new membership tier for its GeForce Now game-streaming service that provides remote access to the power of a GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card and the rest of a high-end gaming PC. It may still be extremely hard to find a GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card, but that doesn't mean you can't use one if you have a fast enough internet connection.
