They are normally found in the northern India. The global wild gharial population is estimated at fewer than 235 individuals, which are threatened by loss of riverine habitat, depletion of fish resources, and entanglement in fishing nets.

A free open source data encryption program for steemit users [repost]

A free open source data encryption program for steemit users Hello, everyone this is my first software sharing for Steemit Community. I developed a software (programmed in Visual Basic 8) for encrypting any text data. It’ll play a vital role on Steemit Community, because, on Steemit Platform we need a very long passphrase to be saved. It’s impossible to memorize this passphrase. And, it’s also very dangerous to write down this passphrase in the notepad. There are too many free password keepers & encryption programs, but, maximum are not open-source. My main objective is to provide such type open-source program. 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”. Create two text boxes & two command buttons on the form. Text1 textbox, Text2 textbox, Command1 commandbutton & Command2 commandbutton. Chan...
