![]() On the whole, the bodies of rays have a generally flattened shape and an elongated tail. Some rays are commonly found very close to the shoreline while other species live in the extreme depths of the sea down to 10,000 feet (3,000 m). Many species live on or near the sea floor while others live in the water column and are adapted for continuous swimming. Modern rays inhabit oceans, seas, bays and estuaries around the world. Because rays lack bones, fossil remains are extremely rare, however, their teeth are composed of very hard enamel, and they are prone to fossilization. The earliest rays are thought to have appeared on Earth about 150 million years ago during the Jurassic period. Rays are believed to have evolved from sharks. So, while the vast majority of fishes have bony skeletons and are described in the class Osteichthyes, rays, sharks, skates and ratfishes possess skeletons made of cartilage, and are described in the class Chondrichthyes. Rays are fishes whose skeletons are composed of cartilage, not bone. It might surprise you to read that rays are fishes, but this is no misprint. They, of course, are rays, a diverse group of about 500 species of fishes that are a welcome sight on any dive. The bodies of some are protected by numerous “thornlike spikes,” while the bodies of many others appear relatively smooth. Some species have long whiplike tails, and others very short tails. Some weigh more than 2 tons while others can fit into the palm of your hand. ![]() Others have no barb at all, and still others possess the ability to deliver a potent electric shock. ![]() Some have potent spines, or “stingers” on their tails. Some appear to “fly” with extraordinary grace while still others undulate their fins to propel themselves. Others rest out in the open on the sea floor and are relatively easy to spot. Some bury themselves so well in sand bottoms that all you see is a faint outline of their bodies. ![]()

In fact, VeraCrypt is still under active developmentĪs such, VeraCrypt is widely regarded in the security world as the go-to open-source full-disk encryption program. Its code has been fully audited, and the uncovered problems fixed. Its front-end looks the same and functions identically to TrueCrypt. VeraCrypt is a fork of TrueCrypt and its direct successor – so don't be put off by the minor branding changes. Third-party Android and iOS apps allow you to open and access data stored VeraCrypt containers. Most of these options use the industry-standard AES cipher – and if you're interested in learning more about how AES encryption works, we've got a guide for that! VeraCrypt We've listed the best TrueCrypt alternatives below. So, simply being able to audit the code is the surest guarantee possible that any encryption program is secure. ![]() This isn't a foolproof tactic, however, as code can always be changed the moment the auditors leave the building. Of course, we can place even more confidence in a program that's been audited by a reputable third-party. Only if a program can be freely examined to ensure it does what it is supposed to (and only what it is supposed to) can we place a reasonable amount of confidence in it. Open-source code is the only guarantee we have against this kind of nefarious behavior. This is what's known as end-to-end-encryption (E2EE).īut even if you're using E2EE, how do you know that your encryption software isn't up to something untoward – like secretly sending your encryption keys to its developers, or creating a backdoor in its encryption?

![]() This relates to everyday life decisions because it’s not always possible to predict the future and it’s never fun feeling not unprepared and anxious for the future. Thus, any plans to choose the better path by its appearance would be practically impossible. ![]() ![]() The traveler could only see a little-ways down both paths ahead until it was no longer visible. In Addition, when Robert states, “And looked down one as far as I could, to where it bent in the undergrowth”, this shows the reader that there are always things that won’t be predictable. It also shows that some of the hardest decision make the biggest impact on life. This shows that even the littlest choices prelude to future decisions. Robert states, “Two Roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by and that has made all the difference.”. The best decisions are made by looking past physical traits, but by digging deeper into the outcome in life.Īs said before, the symbolism in The Road Not Taken contributes to the importance of making decisions and its effect on life by using a traveler who comes across two paths in the woods. This helps the reader understand why the traveler was so adamant about taking his time to review both paths. It never mentioned how many travelers completed both paths as opposed to turning back before they saw what the better path had in store for them. Just because both paths had been “passed really about the same” doesn’t mean that they were both equally challenging. Both decisions might have seemed identical, but there’s always one path that is favorable for prosperity. Similarly, in life not everything is clear, it’s tempting to make hasty decisions as opposed to contemplative ones. The traveler had to leave things up to his conscious and just hope that the decision he made wouldn’t be regretted. With this information the reader can conclude that that decision making isn’t always cut and dry. This helps explain how both paths were physically indistinguishable. “Because it was grassy and wanted wear, In leaves no step had trodden black, Though as for that the passing there had worn them really about the same”. The imagery in The Road Not Taken contributes to the importance of making decisions and its effect on life because without the vivid forest description used it wouldn’t make sense why choosing a path was so hard. The Road Not Taken, Robert’s use of imagery, symbolism, and extended metaphors show the importance of making decisions and it’s lasting effect. Thus, the decisions we make should be thoroughly thought out like the traveler even though the road less taken isn’t an easy road, although it’s the most beneficial road. This poem helps the reader grasp how every decision matters and once the decision is made there’s no turning back. Similarly, in life decisions must be made, no matter how hard the fork in the road seems. This leaves the traveler torn, but he knows that ultimately the decision has to be made. The traveler knows that there is an important decision to make, thus he tries to compare both paths, but ultimately realizes that they’re physically equal. The traveler is now faced with the decision of which path to take. During his journey through the woods, he comes across a fork in the road. The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost is a poem about a traveler in the woods on a beautiful autumn day. Most people have heard at least once in their life that hard choice is the right choice and this seems to be the case for the traveler. ![]() ![]() Just as ironic masculinity arose in the wake of feminism as a way to make the old hallmarks of the patriarchy safe again (though your mileage may vary on that particular argument), so too is the ironic consumerism on display here a reaction to our post-capitalist society. In a world gone mad with materialism, Macklemore's embracing cheap vintage clothing to stand apart from the masses. ![]() While they mindlessly follow trends, he's the only one smart enough and brave enough not to fall for it. (In a dark twist, Macklemore's not as far outside the system as he thinks he is just like the Gucci crowd, he's relying on material possessions to send out an image of himself.)īut as much as Macklemore would set himself apart, there are still times on "Thrift Shop" when his lyrics seem all too similar to the "ignorant" masses he's criticizing. Kelly piss joke, it's lazy dudebro humor. But elsewhere, when Macklemore's not listing funny clothes he wants to buy, there's some brief ugliness. ![]() Is someone who owns a $50 Gucci T-shirt really an "ignorant bitch"? Just because they're spending their money on something Macklemore wouldn't? This isn't a huge deal, and we're not calling Macklemore a misogynist or anything, but it's weird that a rapper who observed "gay is synonymous with the lesser," wouldn't notice how often femininity is, too. Or, more likely, he did notice and didn't think this was a big deal. You can play the song at the bottom of the post! The rest of the album, that's the place for political lectures. ![]() ![]() A helpful load-screen tip says something along the lines of, “Pay attention when someone says to finish up any business in the area before leaving. This impression isn’t helped by the game’s breakneck pacing. There’s no resolution to their journey, and few quests have any noticeable effect on the world outside of the “Where are they now?” end credits scrawl. You can talk your way out of or around almost anything with patience and the right stats.) You’ll often let foes escape instead of killing them, and then those characters just…disappear forever. (Side note: I only got in three or four fights in the entire game. This is particularly noticeable if, like me, you play the game in a mostly pacifist role. There are also plot lines that seem unfinished or prematurely truncated-hints (or even overt nods) towards a forthcoming resolution that never actually comes. ![]() And of the cast, she has probably the most satisfying narrative arc-but still, it’s a fraction of the depth and long-term development you got from companions in Planescape or Baldur’s Gate II. She has no useful skills, serves no real practical purpose, but that sliver of story is interesting enough I kept her around. Rhin, for instance, is an 11-year-old girl with a stone in her pocket that she claims is a god. It’s a shame because on the surface many are just as interesting as Planescape’s cast. Rarely will you need to talk to them again though, and aside from a single, fairly simple quest for each there’s not much in the way of character development. Oh, they’ll chime in occasionally, tossing out some fact or other about your surroundings or a certain character. Your first interaction with each is overwhelming, flush with history and trivia and character quirks. All of them seem interesting, at least to start. No, the real problem is that Tides of Numenera has so many great ideas and so many are squandered, or used once and then thrown away.Ĭompanions, for instance. At 30-odd hours long, Tides of Numenera is briefer than most isometric CRPGs, but that’s not the issue. I don’t just mean in terms of some raw “Hours Played” metric. It’s a shame then that our time in Numenera is so brief. There were rules to it all, but rules so broad it felt like anything could happen, to anyone, at any time. ![]() There, you were but a man, surrounded by angels and demons and everything in between, a cog in a machine so large you could only comprehend a fraction of a fraction of its full expanse. Planescape, a series of “planes of existence,” each one corresponding to one of the traditional Dungeons & Dragons alignments (Chaotic Good, etc.) is larger than life. It’s perhaps the only kind of story you could tell in a world like Planescape or Numenera. “A person with no name and no memory.” “Escape death.” “Immortal being.” “Prodigious talent for regeneration.” Like Planescape, Tides of Numenera is a fiercely personal story less about saving the world and more about saving one person: yourself. ![]() ![]() If you played Planescape though, some aspects should sound familiar. Thanks to your prodigious talent for regeneration, you managed to live and now have to find a place in the world. The Changing God abandoned your body as it crashed towards the ground, leaving you to die-except you didn’t. An important side effect: When the Changing God abandons a body, a new mind arises in his place, taking over the body and living out life as a Castoff, an immortal being with skills second only to the Changing God himself. See, you were created by the Changing God, a man who learned to move his mind from body to body and escape death. ![]() ![]() The Blood Kiss free download via uTorrent The Blood Kiss access review bookshop itunes free The Blood Kiss book get pdf The Blood Kiss format eReader thepiratebay text online The Blood Kiss purchase book The Blood Kiss buy tom english download itunes The Blood Kiss kindle pdf book macbook mobile The Blood Kiss free epub The Blood Kiss free doc The Blood Kiss value pdf full mp3 book The Blood Kiss book in English The Blood Kiss full ebook The Blood Kiss ios read library pc thepiratebay The Blood Kiss ebook android pdf The Blood Kiss book online The Blood Kiss free mobile The Blood Kiss book read The Blood Kiss free mobi "The finest writer of psychological horror this genre has produced." - Karl Edward Wagner He has raised the short story - whether it be supernatural, science fiction, psychological suspense, or, most provocatively, an indefinable combination of several or all of these - to a level of high artistry that, among current writers, perhaps only Ramsey Campbell and Thomas Ligotti can match." - S.T.
