[repost to inform more people about it] An open source data encryption software for steemit users

I repost this article only for informing more people about this software I made.
This encryption tool was developed in Visual Basic 8. This software is to be used  for encrypting any text data. As we know on Steemit Platform we need a very long passphrase to be used. And also  POSTING ,  ACTIVE ,  OWNER &  MEMO private key are very long.  It’s impossible to memorize this passphrases. So, what can we do ? Maximum users saved the data without encrypting it in their note pads, which is very dangerous. If hackers or, anyone get this data then he will gain access our accounts & for a result all accounts shall be compromised. 
So, encryption is very important. Encrypted data can be saved everywhere & also be shared with anyone without any risk. I know there are a lot of free password keepers & encryption programs exist. But, maximum are not open source programs. 
 My main objective is to provide such type open-source program. You may also learn how to develop an encryption tool.

I use AES Rijndael Block Cipher Encryption Algorithm to encrypt text data.
Step by Step Development :
Open a new project in Visual Basic 8. Select “Standard EXE”.
enter image description here
enter image description here
Create two text boxes & two command buttons on the form. Text1 textbox, Text2 textbox, Command1 commandbutton & Command2 commandbutton.
enter image description here
Change the caption of the command buttons from “Command1” to “Encrypt data” & “Command2” to “Decrypt data”.
enter image description here
Add a class module “CRijndael” to the project
enter image description here
Add this following codes to the class module “CRijndael” :

South Africa is participating in largest and most advanced HIV vaccine trial program; makes its own history

image credit A big step for mankind -  South Africa is participating in  HIV  (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) vaccine program. This vaccine could prevent HIV infection. The drug trial began last month. This program is called  HVTN 702 . About 5400 adults are participating in this  HIV  vaccine trial. Scientists say that this  HIV  vaccine program is the largest and most advanced trial program in South Africa.   “If deployed alongside our current armoury of proven HIV prevention tools, a safe and effective vaccine could be the final nail in the coffin for HIV,” said Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which falls under the American National Institutes of Health (NIH), a co-funder of the trial.   “Even a moderately effective vaccine would significantly decrease the burden of HIV disease over time in countries and populations with high rates of HIV infection, such as South Africa.”  image credit Dr Glenda Gray  is

Visiting deep inside the Sundarbans & spent days with Bawali - Episode #08

In the last October-November I visited Sundarbans, the world's one of the largest mangrove forest. It was also declared as world heritage site by UNESCO in 1997. In this forest a numerous wildlife species exist - birds, reptiles, fishes, amphibians and also the king of the forest "Royal Bengal Tiger". The ganges dolphins & crocodiles are also living in the canals of Sundarbans. Chital is a one kind of spotted deer living in this forest. The rural life in the area of this coastal forest is also very attractive. They basically maintain their lives by collecting honey, woods and fishes. In the native language they are called as Bawali. I spent some days with them.

Ancient alligators which had long legs and run faster than dinosaurs, also ate them

image credit Imagine an alligator with long four legs and runs faster than dogs. Am I crazy ? Probably not. But, this species is now extinct. They lived in the Jurassic Period. The name this amazing creature is Galloping crocodile. It existed 100 million years ago. And also they preyed on dinosaurs!  The most attractive features of Galloping crocodiles are their bone structure. After made research on their bones structure scientists said that they were efficient swimmers but that when they clambered ashore they were also capable of galloping across the plains. But, modern crocodiles crawl on their bellies because their legs sprawl out to the side.  The fossils of this primitive crocodiles are now discovered in North Africa by a group of fossil hunters. Most of the fossils was discovered in the year of 2001.  Hans Larsson , a paleontologist at the University of Montreal, who took part in the expedition which was sponsored by National Geographic, wrote -  "We were surpr
