The Sea Emperor Leviathan is capable of telepathic speech, which it uses to communicate with the player at various locations around the world. When the Kharaa Bacterium was released onto the planet, many creatures died, destroying the food source of the species. It is suggested that in the past these creatures would have traveled in small herds, occasionally coming to the surface to feast on the microorganisms in the shallower water. Unlike the Sea Dragon Leviathan, the Sea Emperor Leviathan doesn't have true graspers Instead, its forelimbs are two massive, paddle-like arms.ĭespite its gargantuan size, the Sea Emperor Leviathan's diet consists solely of micro-organisms filtered from the water. The Sea Emperor Leviathan's posterior consists of seven long, yet slim tentacles ending with large tentacular clubs, with the largest being in the center, surrounded by the six smaller tentacles. It has four binocular eyes, glowing cyan in color. The creature's head is comparatively small, and quite peculiar in shape (see "Trivia" below for more), featuring two striped antennae with glowing green lures atop its snout, two large mandibles on each side of its rather small mouth, and a glowing hollow in-between these mandibles. Its tentacles are adorned with bright cyan bioluminescent "bulbs". The Sea Emperor Leviathan is colossal in size, having a stocky, entirely armored body and is predominantly pale brown in color, with a few shades of green. The Sea Emperor Leviathan is the largest living species of fauna known in Subnautica. Single specimen captured for study at purpose-built emperor containment facility, constructed in volcanic region at depth 1200m. Bone samples from deceased leviathan specimens indicate some potential for carar immunity. The closest translation of the alien symbol for this specimen is 'sea emperor'. ![]()

12/25/2023 0 Comments Tiki light table top![]() ![]() This system is not for everyone, but the added conveniences and controllability will likely make it worthwhile for some. ![]() The smallest kit, which includes three repellers (each with a 20-foot diameter coverage area), costs roughly $700, and the price only increases from there. The scope and abilities of this system are far beyond those of our other picks, and the cost reflects that. The repellers look like very nice landscape lights (they actually do have a lighting function), and the components overall have a very sturdy and good feel to them. The app also sends notifications when the repellent is low or when the diffusers have been on beyond a preset amount of time. The repellers are activated through an app that lets you turn them on or off, schedule them, or put them on a timer. This is a scalable system with a number of diffusers (which are hardwired to a hub) placed around your yard or patio. A few additional methods of mosquito control are worth considering, including simply running a fan and using the most predictably effective option: a spray repellent in conjunction with permethrin-treated clothing.įor a more comprehensive mosquito system that’s much easier to control, that protects a wider area, and that requires no charging or additional fuel source, we like the Thermacell LIV Smart Mosquito Repellent System. But they’re still your best bet since many other popular mosquito-control methods-including bug zappers and citronella candles- don’t actually work. The catch with any of these spatial repellents is that they lose efficacy in breezy conditions. This made us think they would be good to integrate with other, less expensive lights. The biggest challenge for us with the Tiki lights was making the 36-foot length fit in our space (45 feet would have been ideal for us). However, depending how they’re hung, it’s possible to protect a 12-by-12-foot patio. The Tiki repellers use a lower concentration of repellent, so they don’t cover as large of an area. But each strand has a switch to turn on the repellers, so those are active only when you need them. As long as they’re plugged in, the lights are on. The lights have a socket at the end of the line, so additional strands can be attached to them. Spaced along this 36-foot length of string lights are three repellers that work in a similar fashion as the Thermacells. If our other options aren’t festive enough for you, look no further than the Tiki BiteFighter LED String Lights. But the higher price buys you the convenience of the app integration and the polished look of the repellers. That’s a lot, considering that the base functionality is the same as putting out three strategically placed E90s, which cost about $50 each. The smallest kit, with three repellers, is roughly $700. If there is a downside to the LIV, it’s the cost. Setup is simple, and the repellers have the look of a high-end landscape light. In our tests, we found the components to be of very high quality, and the app was easy to use. The LIV can also be integrated into smart-home systems. The app provides total control over the system, including turning the repellers on and off, putting them on a schedule or a timer, checking the amount of repellent remaining, and even changing the color of the little lights on the repellers. Depending on which kit you get, the three, four, or five repellers offer a wall of protection and can encircle a patio, porch, or other outdoor area. This system consists of multiple repellers wired together and controlled by an app. But if you’re okay with the compromises of using butane and pads, Thermacell offers similar models worth considering.įor the most comprehensive and integrated approach to mosquito control, we like the Thermacell LIV Smart Mosquito Repellent System. In a large catalog of similar Thermacell products, the MR450 stands out with a more rugged design and a few minor convenience features. The advantage is that there’s no reliance on an outlet to run the repeller, so it’s the better choice for long camping trips, hunting, and other extended outdoor activities. The pads last for far less time than repellent cartridges, and it’s harder to tell when they’re used up. ![]() The butane is easier to burn through and harder to replace, as opposed to simply recharging a battery. Instead, like many of Thermacell’s models, the MR450 runs on a butane cartridge and uses four-hour repellent pads, both of which are less convenient than the E90’s features. Like the E90, the MR450 has proven mosquito-repelling capabilities, but it lacks some of the E90’s finer touches, particularly the rechargeable battery and the long-lasting repellent cartridge. If you want an even more durable and more portable option, we like the Thermacell MR450 Mosquito Repellent. ![]() 12/25/2023 0 Comments Trump mocks puerto rico death toll![]() However, even prior to the release of the George Washington report, Puerto Rico officials had quietly acknowledged that the number of 64 was not accurate. Prior to the release of the report, the Puerto Rican government had maintained an official storm death toll of 64 people. The study showed that the risk of death during the period from September 2017 to February 2018 was greatest - 60 percent higher than expected - for those living in poorer communities and that the elevated risk persisted beyond February. "The results of our epidemiological study suggest that, tragically, Hurricane Maria led to a large number of excess deaths throughout the island," said Carlos Santos-Burgoa, M.D., MPH, Ph.D., the project's principal investigator and a professor of global health at GW Milken Institute SPH, adding in a press release that lower-income citizens and the elderly faced the highest risk. Ricardo Rosselló, in light of mounting evidence that the low figure was a " gross misrepresentation" of the fatalities that had occurred, Vox reported. FILE PHOTO: Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello speaks to U.S. The report was commissioned by Puerto Rico Gov. Puerto Ricos effort to account for Hurricane Maria dead. The new death toll is 22 percent greater than the number of deaths that would've been expected during that period in a year without the deadly hurricane, according to the report. ![]() The new report's findings analyzed death certificates and other mortality data for six months from September 2017 and February 2018. Then, a long time later, they started to report really large numbers, like 3000.Įarlier this week Trump said "I think we did a fantastic job in Puerto Rico," and "we're still helping Puerto Rico."Īn independent report published by researchers at the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University in late August, estimated that there were there were 2,975 excess deaths in Puerto Rico. As time went by it did not go up by much. When the dates of tracking polls from the same pollster overlap, only the most recent version is shown. When I left the Island, AFTER the storm had hit, they had anywhere from 6 to 18 deaths. President Donald Trump on Thursday disputed Puerto Rico’s official death toll of 3,000 from hurricanes last year and accused Democrats of inflating the figure. Polls from firms that are banned by FiveThirtyEight are not shown. 3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico. ![]() 12/25/2023 0 Comments Homes for rent newton iowa![]() ![]() Renters earning up to 50% of the Newton AMI may qualify for rental assistance programs that target Very Low Income households.

Known as SIM swapping, this tactic reassigns a phone number to a device owned by the attackers, allowing them to intercept text messages and phone calls for password resets and multi-factor authentication codes. ![]() In a post from Friday, security site KrebsOnSecurity revealed leaked chat messages between members of the Lapsus$ gang in which they discussed targeting T-Mobile employees with social engineering tactics designed to give them access to a victim’s mobile phone number. T-Mobile was the victim of a series of data breaches carried out by the Lapsus$ cybercrime group in March. Through multiple breaches, the Lapsus$ cybercriminal group was able to steal source code from T-Mobile, says KrebsOnSecurity. Users should also enable Linkedin’s two step verification to add an extra layer of protection for their accounts.T-Mobile hit by data breaches from Lapsus$ extortion group ![]() Regular changing of passwords should also be practiced. Linkedin users who have used the service for over 4 years are recommended to change passwords immediately. In the meantime, we are using automated tools to attempt to identify and block any suspicious activity that might occur on affected accounts.” Scott added, “We have demanded that parties cease making stolen password data available and will evaluate potential legal action if they fail to comply. Regarding the additional data reported from the same breach, Scott said the company has started invalidating the passwords for all LinkedIn accounts created before 2012 that haven’t changed passwords since the breach. For several years, we have hashed and salted every password in our database, and we have offered protection tools such as email challenges and dual factor authentication.” LinkedIn’s Chief Information Security Officer Cory Scott said, “We take the safety and security of our members’ accounts seriously. His respondents verified that the passwords in the breach were the ones that they were using at the time of the initial breach.Īn official statement from LinkedIn said it is aware of the situation, and its immediate response included a mandatory reset of accounts believed to be compromised. ![]() Troy Hunt, researcher from the breach notification site Have I Been Pwned? contacted victims of the data breach. Shared samples of the database was shared to Motherboard by LeakedSource and showed that the database comprised of email addresses, passwords, and the hacked passwords. Both Peace and LeackedSource claim that the database contains 167 million accounts with 117 cracked passwords, and not just 6.5 million, as was previously reported. Paid hacked data search engine LeakedSource also claims that they too have the data. ![]() Now, a hacker named “Peace” is selling the stolen database for 5 bitcoin, or close to 2,200 USD. It was later discovered that 6.5 million account credentials were posted on a Russian password forum for the world to see. In 2012, Linkedin suffered a data breach where hackers were found to have stolen password hashes. Long time users of Linkedin users may very well need to change their passwords once more as a cybercriminal puts the email addresses and passwords of 117 million users up for sale. ![]() 12/25/2023 0 Comments Anki official website![]() ![]() Why?

You can write a vba user defined function to use the trend line formula to evaluate a given x. Similarly, subtract the error from the average to find the lower bound. ![]() So in our example, I added the average (cell C2) and the standard error (cell c4). So the trend line would show a value of -890.431 at the x value of 5757. This wont look quite as nice on your chart, especially since it becomes negative at a value of 3428. To find the upper bound of an error band, simply add the error to the average.
