Purple martin sightings 20188/31/2023 A well-described Red-naped Sapsucker was found at the Gristmill access to ARP on 3/31. Other interesting reports include single Merlins from the upper ARP on 3/26 and 3/31, a Band-tailed Pigeon visiting a Rancho Cordova yard on 3/1 and about 20 band-tails at the Bobcat Ranch on 3/6. Unfortunately, much of this habitat literally evaporated (or drained) prior to the most dynamic period of the spring shorebird migration in April and early May, when rarities are most likely to be found among the usual suspects. An adult Western Gull at the Ancil Hoffman access to the American River Parkway (ARP) was reported on 3/17 and 3/26.Īn amazing 11,300 Dunlin along with 2,800 Long-billed Dowitchers were at CRP on 3/26. The numbers and late occurrence of the species that was only recently considered very rare are obviously unprecedented. It was stated last month that up to four Glaucous Gulls were found on a single day, but it should be noted that based on plumage characteristics at least seven different individuals were present in February and March. At least two Glaucous Gulls continued well into April. Documentation of the three species above should be submitted to the California Bird Records Committee (). A second-winter Lesser Black-backed Gull was found on 3/23. There was some debate whether this was a different bird than the one found last month, or just farther advanced into its molt. The putative first-winter Iceland Gull (possibly of the nominate race glaucoides) was found again on 3/23 and 3/28 (see the February sightings for photos of these birds). The adult Slaty-backed Gull found on 2/27 continued through 3/7. First-of-season reports of Cassin’s Vireo (3/29), Nashville Warbler (3/29), and Wilson’s Warbler (3/25) were slightly early at Cosumnes River Preserve (CRP).Īs noted in last month’s column, some of the marquee gulls at the Davis Wastewater Treatment Plant continued well into March. A few migrants beat the turning of the calendar with March arrivals. In reference to our earlier post about Tejon Ranch, that property is home to a lively population of Purple Martins.Western Kingbirds and Bullock’s Orioles added a splash of color from the south by the last week of March. In California, however, Purple Martins nest mainly in natural cavities in trees (the notable exception being the population in theSacramentoarea, which uses holes in highway overpasses.). The bird’s unique relationship with people is illustrated by the fact that in the east, the bird nests almost exclusively in man-made boxes. Historical declines and the small population size led the California Department of Fish and Game to designate the Purple Martin a Species of Special Concern. But while the Purple Martin is common and widespread in the east, it is relatively rare and sparsely distributed in California. The Purple Martin, the largest of the swallows on our continent, is one of America’s favorite birds. Both of those birds likely came from as far away as Brazil– more than 5,000 miles. Coincidentally, Maggie Smith of Arroyo Grande also spotted a Purple Martin down in her neck of the woods, as well. Dan Airola today reports the first sighting of a Purple Martin in the Sacramento area, and his is the only record of the bird in eBird.

Kindle oasis vs paperwhite 20198/31/2023 In most other aspects, the Kindle is still inferior to other models, though. It’s an enormous step up that makes the base Kindle a product worth considering as more than a disposable beach-reading device. The new ninth-generation Kindle has an integrated light, four LEDs that shine from the edges of the display to make it readable in any light conditions. There is nothing dumber than needing to clip on a book light in order to read a digital device in the dark. The “cheap” Kindle (which now starts at $90, up from $80 with the previous model) has lagged behind the rest of the product line in failing to offer an integrated light (first offered on the Kindle Paperwhite in 2012). Wi-Fi is so ubiquitous that this seems unnecessary, but you can pay $250 instead of $130 for a Kindle Paperwhite if you really want all the features. It means you can download books in more than 100 countries without needing Wi-Fi, and you’ll never see a bill (other than that $120 additional charge from Amazon). For an additional $70 (keeping in mind you’re also paying $30 more for the larger storage capacity-though your $20 Special Offers charge is comped at this level) your Kindle will use LTE cellular networking when it’s not able to connect to Wi-Fi. You can fit hundreds of books on an 8GB Kindle.Īmazon also offers an alternative networking upgrade on the 32GB models of Paperwhite and Oasis, one that adds “free” cellular connectivity to the party. Unless you are leaving the internet for years or have decided to use the Kindle as a repository for audiobooks as well as text, you don’t need the larger size. The choice is yours.įor the Kindle Paperwhite and Oasis, Amazon also offers two storage-size tiers-8GB or, for $30 more, 32GB. I find the addition of an extra step every single time I turn my Kindle on to be enough of an interface impediment that I always pay the $20 to turn off special offers. I have talked to many people who find the special offers valuable, because they aid in discovering interesting books and point out sales going on in the Kindle store. You can order your Kindle without special offers or just pay the $20 later on the device to turn them off. It costs an additional $20 to turn off the special offers. There are also small ad banners at the bottom of the main navigation screen. With special offers enabled, the screensaver on your Kindle when it’s turned off is an ad for a book, and to turn the Kindle on you’ve got to press the power button and then swipe the touchscreen to dismiss the ad. The base prices of each Kindle model include “special offers”, which is Amazon’s euphemism for advertising. (You can probably even check out books from your local library to your Kindle using a service such as OverDrive!) A word about Kindle pricingĪmazon’s pricing model for the Kindle is complicated. If you are someone who reads a lot, consider buying a Kindle. When I’m out and about without a Kindle, I’ll read books on my iPhone, but when I get home I’m right back to the dedicated reading device. When I’m using my Kindle, I am reading, not grazing the internet. You won’t be tempted to flip over to Twitter or get bugged by a push notification or an incoming FaceTime call. What’s more, these devices are unitaskers. If you’ve ever tried to read a book while sitting in the sun at the pool, you can see why this sort of display is a perfect match for this category. But they’re relatively low resolution and can only display black, white, and shades of gray, so they’re inappropriate for much more than text on a page. These screens have some huge advantages: They use very little power, and they’re extremely readable in bright light. These are reflective screens-like ink on paper, you read them by light reflected off their surface, rather than light shining in from behind like those other screens. Not so! If you’ve never used an ebook reader before, you may not realize that their screens are dramatically different from computer, phone, and tablet screens. Why Kindle?Ī lot of people think the entire dedicated ebook reader category has been made obsolete by tablets and smartphones. The base-model Kindle is much harder to write off than it was before, but I think the Paperwhite still has a better combination of features for most users. Both of them are notable improvements on their previous versions, making it harder for me to declare which Kindle you should buy. In the last few months Amazon has released two new Kindles, the $130 Kindle Paperwhite and the $90 base-model Kindle. Note: This story has not been updated for several years. Review: Kindle Paperwhite (2019) and Kindle (2019) Zombies in spaceland headcutter8/31/2023 If done successfully a giant UFO pops out of the mountain and hovers overhead. Once all four players have pressed their tones in order, you MUST all press the tones together as the final confirmation step. The key to playing the tones in order is to play them in ascending order so the tones go from a low sound to a higher pitched sound. This tone or note, is a musical note and each speaker plays a different note. Play tones in order Each player must interact with their speaker to "play a tone". Place Speakers around PaP portal Go to the Black Hole portal area (which leads to the Pack-a-Punch machine) and take note of the three gold platforms surrounding the portal and the one additional gold platform on the steps leading up to the portal Place a speaker on each of the four gold platforms. The image above shows the Speaker item which appears in the bottom left corner of the HUD after speaking with the DJ. This time the DJ should give you a portable Speaker which you'll need to communicate with the BOSS a little later on. Now complete a couple of extra rounds and talk to the DJ once again. Return item to the DJ After successfully completing the three "defend" locations, return the item back to the DJ. At this point, look up at the UFO above Ice Mountain. Important: During this process there will be a clown wave. Repeat this "place and defend" process three times, each time the defend time period will increase slightly. Be careful, if a zombie successfully attacks the special item you'll have to restart this process again. Place the special item on the floor and defend it from zombie attacks. Wait for the screen to shake thus signifying that you're in the right place. Place and defend the item Venture through the map, particularly in areas such as the Fountain, Bumper Karts, underneath Coffee room, journey in space etc. This confirms the EE has be triggered correctly. If the Hoff (DJ) will not exchange the items, check that the giant UFO which is stuck in the mountain is playing the tones. Clear the next two rounds and claim a new item ("SETI COM") by talking to the DJ. Give items to DJ Once you've collected the items above, open the PaP room and interact with the purple jar to release the UFO's.

Ssh honeypot8/31/2023 “A vulnerable service on the internet is usually compromised multiple times by multiple different attackers. Palo Alto’s study also focuses on tThe mean time-between-compromise, that is the average time between two consecutive compromising events of a targeted application. The time-to-first-compromise for Samba installs was 2485 minutes, 667 minutes for RDP, 511 for Postgres, and 184 minutes for SSHD. The experts analyzed the time-to-first-compromise (the time before the system was compromised) for the different services. Each firewall policy might block 600-3,000 known scanner IP addresses.Įvery time one of the virtual machines composing the honeypot infrastructure became unresponsive, the controller redeployed the virtual machine and application. The researchers were updating the firewall policies once a day based on the observed network scanning traffic to prevent reconnaissance and attacks conducted with scanners. “To analyze the effectiveness of blocking network scanning traffic, we blocked a list of known scanner IPs on a subset of honeypots.” A honeypot will be reset and redeployed when a compromising event is detected, i.e., when a threat actor successfully authenticates via one of the credentials and gains access to the application.” reads the post published by Palo Alto Networks. These accounts grant limited access to the application in a sandboxed environment. We intentionally configured a few accounts with weak credentials such as admin:admin, guest:guest, administrator:password. “Four types of applications, SSH, Samba, Postgres and RDP, were evenly deployed across the honeypot infrastructure. 85% of the attacker IPs were observed only on a single day demonstrating that Layer 3 IP-based firewalls are not effective against these attacks because threat actors rotate same IPs to launch attacks.experts observed that one threat actor compromised 96% of the 80 Postgres honeypots that the researchers deployed, and all the instances were hacked within 30 seconds.each SSH honeypot was compromised on average 26 times per day.The most attacked SSH honeypot was compromised 169 times in a single day.The instances included systems exposing remote desktop protocol (RDP), secure shell protocol (SSH), server message block (SMB) and Postgres database. The experts discovered that 80% of the 320 honeypots were compromised within 24 hours and all of the honeypots were compromised within a week.īelow are some findings shared by the experts: Freedom planet 2 sprite sheet8/31/2023 Her blue gloves have a gold trim, and her blue boots have a gold base with a point sticking up in the back. She wears a blue sleeveless v-neck shirt with a white undershirt visible underneath, as well as blue shorts held up by a darker blue belt with a gold buckle. In Freedom Planet, Lilac has hair on her forehead and a large tuft of hair on the front of her head. Her ears resemble small fish fins, but they are always covered by a set of earpieces. A set of two pointed horns protrude from her head, and she has a short tail these are both the color of her skin. Her violet hair makes two long strands in the back resembling twin ponytails, which go down to her feet and make her signature look. Corazon's name is derived from the Spanish word "Corazón", which means " Heart".Lilac is a teenage female half-dragon half-mammalian of slightly above average height.Cory possesses feline instincts and is also quick and agile as Carol, as well as sharing similar abilities with her sister, such as rolling and using Jump Pads. Along with piloting an airship, she is armed with a dual-barrel pistol and uses steampunk fire as a means of combat. He is shown to be fiercely loyal to his captain and will do anything to protect her from her enemies, including Cory's sister, Carol.Īs a skilled pilot, Cory is capable of flying her own airship, the Sigwada, which can deploy drone ship to distract the victims while she makes with stolen goods. At the end, Merga is going to kill Carol, which Corazon saves her sister from by taking her hit on herself.Īaa is a member of Cory's crew, and the Sigwada's chief engineer and Cory's first mate. As a result, Corazon has no choice and she is forced to fight against Carol. To which she replies that she can cancel everything or do it personally with her sister. To which Cory tells Merga that she promised protection, and the fact that this was not in the deal. Cory doesn't want to fight her sister and Merga tells her to put her down. She treats Merga as her superior, the relationship between them was stable until Cory had to face her younger sister Carol in battle. Corazon, when Merga orders her to kill her sister, Carol Ĭorazon and Merga work together for common goals, she does all the work with the rest. At the end of the game, while bummed that she had 6 months of community service and the Sigwada is recommissioned to the Parusan air force, Cory saw a silver lining: getting to see Carol more often, though she would have to endure her sister's notorious puns. She proves this love in the Clockwork Arboretum, where she saves Carol from a deadly strike from Merga's Eclipse, almost losing her own life in the process, but was saved by Milla. Nevertheless, Cory does love her sister very much, in fact, the safety of her family was the very reason for her allegiance to Merga. However, Cory will fight her sister if she's left no other choice, as Merga also warned her to not let her family affairs interfere with her objective. Despite this, however, Cory is protective of her sister, possibly due to her history of doing work for unsavory clients, and she doesn't want Carol to get hurt as a result of her involvement. During the events of the game, Cory tells Carol to stay out of her business, due to her employment to Merga. Corazon, telling Aaa not to attack her sister Carol Ĭarol is Cory's younger sister. App similar to bluestacks8/31/2023 It stands out against the average because of his lightweight and quick setup. This is, again, a gaming-oriented Android emulator. The Android version is somewhat old to some of the other listed software but in most cases, we believe it won’t give you any problems unless you go for something very new. Nox Player includes a good amount of cool features such as an easy to use vertical toolbar with different things to enhance our experience. It has some advanced options specifically design for the performance such as the amount of RAM and CPU you can assign it. Nox Player can be easily rooted compared whereas many other emulators will give you a ton of errors and problems. One of the cool advantages it has over others is that it allows you to have multiple windows open. The main issue here is that it requires a good computer and it will heavily load your system so be ready for it! This Android emulator is one of our favorites because it keeps great compatibility with heavy games such as PUBG but it doesn’t have any sponsored ads even if there is no paid version. It’s known to work with almost all Intel and AMDs chipset so if you are doubting about the compatibility with your PC this one is probably a safe choice. It has a highly useful toolbar on the top which allows us to configure different features quickly, without resulting annoying. It also brings us the chance to easily install Google apps outside of their store which is something valuable and hard to find as well. We specifically placed MemuPlay for one of our top Android emulators due to his ability to run on 4K resolutions which are completely amazing. This is a somewhat similar software to BlueStacks but overall it has less optimization and even if Memu is specially designed for gaming, it lacks a few details compared to other Android emulators.īut the best one about Menu is that you can virtually locate yourself, so if you are looking to play games like Pokemon GO this can be your best bet. Also, the fact that it has the cleanest and most beautiful interface is a big plus. It gives us advanced features while it doesn’t require us to be an expert on these types of things. In my opinion, BlueStacks is the first one on the list due to his appearance and his effective performance. This completely makes sense, they gonna make a profit of somewhere in the free version.’ Looking at the price, there is a free version that is full of ads but is completely free, and then there is the premium version that doesn’t have any ads. You can have multiple accounts for different purposes and it updates quickly to the last Android version available. This software keeps a very low CPU and memory usage, and it claims to be multiple times faster than many other actual mobile phone models. When it comes to using for productivity apps, these sometimes will not load properly and give errors, so we can’t recommend using BlueStacks for that.Īnyways, BlueStacks comes with an already configured keymap for most common games so if you are playing one of the most popular ones there is a high chance you won’t even need to change anything related to that. It’s also very well optimized for gaming and it supports keymapping, however, it usually doesn’t work that well if you go into very specific and advanced configurations. It’s preferred among many others because of his simple and quick installation. This is one of the most well-known Android emulators. Spamsieve thunderbird plugin8/31/2023
