![]() You can test this out for yourself by searching “what’s my IP” on Google. That means your IP address needs to be public - any website you visit must be able to access it. Just as Amazon needs your address to send you a package, servers around the world need your IP address to send you data. Why do things need to be so complicated? Well, IPv4 addresses are just 32 bits long, which means there can only ever be around 4.3 billion IPv4 addresses.īy September 2015, with just about everything connected to the internet, four out of five RIRs had completely run out of IPv4 addresses! At 128 bits, IPv6 addresses are the answer: 340 282 366 920 938 463 463 374 607 431 768 211 456 addresses means we won’t be running out any time soon. ![]() Once created, the IANA assigns each IP address to one of five Regional Internet Registries (RIR), which hands them out in turn to internet service providers in their region.Īt the moment, there are two versions of IP addresses called IP version 4 (IPv4) and IP version 6 (IPv6). If privacy and anonymity are important to you, remember that your search history isn’t as private as you might think, but there are options for protecting your information from prying eyes.Just like your postcode, your IP address was created by a central authority - the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). If your VPN service provider has servers around the world, you could appear to be connecting to the Internet from Berlin when you’re actually in Mumbai. Instead of sending information directly from your IP address, by using a VPN service the VPN server’s IP address is the one associated with your activity. With a VPN, your online activities are anonymized and protected because the VPN masks your IP address and encrypts your data throughout the entire transmission. However, your data is not encrypted at the exit node. Plus, each completed pathway is only valid for 10 minutes and then Tor generates new random paths. Because the various nodes only know the IP address from the node before and after, none of the nodes knows the complete pathway the data takes. It’s similar to how you might try to throw someone off your trail while playing hide-and-seek in the woods: by taking a hard-to-follow route and erasing your footprints. Tor, a shortened form of “The Onion Router,” works by sending your encrypted and re-encrypted data through several random nodes on the Internet, creating a circuitous route. The only methods for hiding your search history and staying anonymous online are to use a virtual private network (VPN), such as Norton Secure VPN, or a special anonymization service, like Tor. Two ways to hide your search historyĮven if you’re using a private browsing mode, your IP information is still being collected. If you value your privacy, then that fact may be a cause for concern. And they associate that information with your IP (Internet Protocol) address, which essentially identifies you and your location much as a return address does. Unfortunately, Web browsers do track your search history. Maybe you’re thinking of traveling to Hawaii, or are worried about a medical test result - or a topic that’s even more private - so you turn to the Web for information. ![]() ![]() And when you think about it, that information reveals a lot about you. But did you ever stop to wonder what happens to your searches? Sure, you can clear your cookies and search history from your browser, but chances are that information has already been recorded somewhere. ![]()

![]() You can hold two weapons at once and switch between them, a la Contra 3. There are other minor modifications to the system as well. Now you actually have to think about what character you want to use when you continue, and need to alter your playing style based on that. Clark can execute his Super Argentine Backbreaker, which tosses a foe straight into the air and grants your character temporary invincibility. Ralf can take two hits before getting killed, and can use his Vulcan Punch for some devastating melee attacks, but the ammo on all of his weapons are halved. They’ve also added Ralf and Clark (from Ikari Warriors and King of Fighters fame) to the roster, and they fit right along with the rest of the cast. There are a few (well hidden) alternate routes throughout the game, one of which leads to a shooter segment where you get to control the final boss of Metal Slug 3, which is just as cool as it sounds and completely cancels out the lameness of the drilling segment.Įven though the level design is just going through the motions, SNK actually decided to mix things up a bit and give each character their own abilities – Fio, for example, always starts with a heavy machine gun after getting killed, Marco has an extremely powerful pistol, and Eri has double the amount of grenades by default, plus she can throw them farther. It also a features a painfully boring Dig Dug-esque segment in “Drill Slug”, as you slowly burrow into the ground and try to shoot stuff in the meantime. This leads to a final stage where you can rescue captured Mars People and have them gang up on a universal foe. There’s a new set of bad guys to fight, which are some evil insects that are apparently living underneath the earth’s crust. Most of the levels are pretty dull, consisting of the usual mountain scapes and wrecked cities. Granted, we’ve been seeing these effects in 2D games for a long time now, but this is the first time we’ve seen them in a Metal Slug game.Īlas, the same attention to detail hasn’t been lavished on the rest of the game. Later bosses are equally cool, including a huge robot controlled by a brain in a jar, and a worm that squirms around the screen with some impressively sprite rotation effects. The visual improvements are only applied to the boss fights, which are probably the best part of the game – the second stage features a giant tank, rolling down an infinite mountain, launching missiles so huge that the camera needs to zoom out just so you can see everything. Plus, the sprites are exactly the same as they’ve always been. The backgrounds are supposedly high res, and they’re all prerendered backgrounds as opposed to the tiles from the older games, but they look pretty bland and boring. While you can look at The King of Fighters XI and see a definite (albeit relatively minor) improvement over the Neo Geo versions, Metal Slug 6 barely looks much different. Metal Slug 6 is the first (and will be the only) game based on the Atomiswave hardware, so SNK had the opportunity to really put the hardware to use and show off more of the crazy sprite work they’ve been known for. In some ways, this is what the fans want – the recent 3D reinvention was met with almost universal apathy – but it has begun to feel like the later installments are just unnecessary. ![]() ![]() Metal Slug 3 has pretty much been the pinnacle the series, and the fourth and fifth installments have pretty much been “The Same, But Not As Good” – we’ll call this the Mega Man Syndrome. Up until this point, there has been no such thing as a “bad” Metal Slug game (at least, in the realm of 2D), but there have been ones that are subpar for the course. Running forward!

(iii) Sometimes, a verse of Quran looks ambiguous but the same issue is explained in detail at another place in the Quran. (ii) The English language used in the Tafseer is very simple and understandable even for the first time readers. (i) As the Quran possesses an external appearance and a hidden depth, an exoteric (direct) as well as an esoteric (indirect) meaning, the issues in Tafseer-e-Asedi are explained in such a way that the esoteric meanings are understood by the reader at the same time it does not contradict with the exoteric sense. ![]() The basic features of Tafseer-e-Asadi are as follows: I am forever grateful to them for all their priceless teachings. All the training and guidance that I received under my shuyookh has played an extremely vital role in this work. When I look back now, I realize that my whole life has been leading to this Tafseer. In the process of this Tafseer, the impact of the word of Allah (عَزَّ وَجَلَّ) has changed my perspective in ways that can’t be defined in words. It was the most challenging work I have ever done. In-Sha-Allah (إِنْ شَاءَ ٱللَّهُ) Tafseer-e-Asedi will fulfill this requirement.Īmong all my works, the Tafseer of the Quran was a monumental undertaking. In view of the above, a comprehensive Tafseer in English highlighting Sahih Iman requirements was essential for people to come back to the correct Islamic faith. Some Quranic translations and Tafaseer are done by the scholars of different sects who have tried to interpret the meanings of the Quranic verses as per the wrongful beliefs of their sects. In addition, many inaccurate, and some misleading translations are also available. But they could not maintain the accuracy in describing the true meaning all along. There are many English translations and some Tafaseer available online and in print.īefore I started writing Tafseer-e-Asedi in English, I read over 50-60 English translations, and some Urdu translations and a few Tafaseer and realized that some translations are better in their linguistic quality, while others have tried to be exact with the literal meanings. Quran has been translated into almost every known language in the world. These undeniable facts compel them to accept Quran's origin to be the word of Allah (عَزَّ وَجَلَّ). These and hundreds of other facts are accepted even by non-Muslims and they are completely overwhelmed and intrigued by its majestic power. It is the book of guidance which covers all facets of human life, and it is the greatest literary masterpiece in the world that cannot be imitated by any human or Jinn. It is the book which has not been altered a bit ever since it was revealed. No other books equals it in this context. It is the book which has been memorized by hundreds of millions of people all over the world for the past 1400 years. The Quran is a wonder from whichever way you look at it. The Quran testifies that Prophet Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) is the Apostle and guide of entire humankind and his advent is for the mercy upon all worlds. ![]() The verses of Quran are relevant for all times and places as these were relevant at the time, place and the circumstances in which they were revealed during the span of of 23 years.

While the typing experience on the Wedge may not rival the comfort of a premium desktop keyboard, the Microsoft Wedge Mobile Keyboard is a sound and highly portable option for tablet users. Most importantly, there was no latency or lag, even when typing quickly. The soft touch finish on the keys is also nice. On the other hand, the keys offer an impressive typing feel, with a fair amount of travel and some comfortable resistance. On the one hand, the size of the keyboard makes it virtually impossible to type comfortably, because the keyboard is just too small, with no spacing between the keys. The Wedge will show up, after which you simply click to select it, and type in the pairing code that will come up on screen. Then you open the Windows 8 control panel and select Add devices. An indicator light on the face of the keyboard will begin flashing red and green, telling you that the keyboard is ready to pair. Once the batteries are put in, and the keyboard is powered on, you simply press and hold the Bluetooth button on the end of the battery compartment. Pairing the Wedge keyboard to your Windows 8 tablet is simple, and takes only a few moments. Even without a centimetre of space wasted, this keyboard is very small, but the result is also too cramped for anyone typing for long stretches. Aside from a narrow band of silvery trim running around the edge, the face of the keyboard is all keys. The dimensions alone don't quite indicate how tightly packed the Wedge's 79 keys are. That 23mm thickness is a bit deceptive, as nearly all of that thickness is found in the battery compartment – the majority of the keyboard is only 10mm thick. The small, slim keyboard is easy to carry and hold, weighing only 250 grams (450 grams with cover/stand) and measuring 256 x 101 x 23mm (WxDxH). Microsoft covers the Wedge Mobile Keyboard with a three year warranty. ![]() It should be noted, however, that when used with these other operating systems, you will lose advanced functionality – Windows 8 controls only work in Windows 8 and Windows RT. Additionally, keys F1 through F4 offer media controls (play/pause, volume up/down/mute).ĭespite being made with Windows 8 (and its relative, Windows RT) in mind, the Wedge is also compatible with other operating systems, including Windows 7, Macintosh OS X v10.6 to 10.7, and even Android and iOS. These four keys are found on keys F5 to F8, after which are regular keyboard functions, like PrintScreen, Home, End, Page Up and Page Down. The keyboard puts Windows 8 controls at your fingertips, including Search, Share, Devices, and Settings, plus four Charms. And, perhaps most importantly, Windows 8 (and Windows RT) functionality is baked right in. ![]() The Wedge Mobile Keyboard uses wireless Bluetooth connectivity so as not to occupy any of the USB ports on your tablet, leaving them free for other peripherals. ![]() ![]() ![]() The one-time payment of Icecream Screen Recorder full version charges $29.95.

![]() ![]() Contingent, dependent reality is to absolute, independent reality as a shadow to substance - as an echo to a thunderclap, as a bubble to the ocean. God is who he is means all the universe is, by comparison to God, as nothing. It came into being by God and stays in being, moment by moment, on God’s decision to keep it in being.Ħ. The entire universe is utterly secondary. All that is not God is secondary and dependent. God is who he is means rather that everything that is not God depends totally on God. He depends on nothing to bring him into being or support him or counsel him or make him what he is.ĥ. God is who he is means that God is utterly independent. He is not one of many realities before he creates. There is no reality outside of him unless he wills it and creates it. God is who he is means God is absolute reality. Before he creates, that’s all that is: God.ģ. There is no place to go outside of being. If he did not come into being, he cannot go out of being, because he is being. God is who he is means God will never end. ![]() Every child asks, “Who made God?” And every wise parent says, “Nobody made God. God is who he is means he never had a beginning. So what does it mean when God said, “I am who I am”?ġ. I linger here because until God becomes dominant in our thinking and in our feeling - until he becomes the blazing sun at the center of the solar system of our daily lives, until he becomes the Mount Everest among the foothills of little concerns with this world, until he rests upon our souls and our churches with ten thousand times more weight than politics and church growth - until then, all our talk about his glory, or worship, or singing will just be more human engineering of religion, of which the world needs no more. What does that mean? It means at least ten things. What does that mean? Why did God identify himself this way: “I am who I am”? “I absolutely am.” If we can remove our clouded spectacles of mere religious tradition, this may come to us like a bolt of lightning. Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I Am has sent me to you.’” Moses argues in verse 13, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” And God answers in verse 14, “I Am Who I Am. Moses shrinks back and says in verse 11, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” And God responds in verse 12, “I will be with you.” The Great ‘I Am’ God had appeared to Moses to make him the leader of Israel and to bring them out of slavery in Egypt. Who is God? The most foundational statement about what it means to be God is found in Exodus 3:14. ![]() And hold fast to what he says, and what you see. And if you don’t, you owe me nothing, except perhaps polite pity that an old man from American couldn’t make anything plain. If you see it in the word, you should grab it like a man caught in a riptide clutching a rope. What matters is not my opinion on these things, but God’s revelation. And it is a glorious work to listen and understand and be changed and joyfully obey. God himself has spoken about these things in his word. (2 Timothy 3:16–17)Īnd that includes the good work of knowing who God is, and what “the glory of God” refers to, and what it means to “glorify God,” and why there is such a thing as singing, and whether we are to gather for corporate worship or only for instruction and edification. And he has told us,Īll Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. Wonder of wonders, God has given us a book, the Christian Scriptures, the Bible. We are not basing our answers to these questions on imagination or preference or culture or tradition. And it is a glorious work! Because we are not making things up. We gather for edification.” Is that a right way to think? Hold Fast to What God Says Who is God? What do I mean by “the glory of God”? What does it mean to “glorify God”? What is Christian singing - for that matter, what is singing? What is corporate worship? Should we even think of our weekly gatherings as “worship services”? You may have heard people say, “That’s not even a New Testament idea. So we have lots of words to explain here. We are going to talk about the relationship between the glory of God and Christian singing in corporate worship. ![]() ![]() ![]() The entirety of the interface may also be switched to a darker mode coming from a slightly lighter mode so it will be easier for the eyes.Īs far as special effects and color are concerned, it’s so easy to adjust or create PiP effects in Filmora.
