Industries outside EZs won't get gas from Apr
By Staff Correspondent
Published : 16 Nov 2020 09:50 PM | Updated : 17 Nov 2020 01:18 AM
The government has decided not to provide any new gas connection to industries set up outside planned industrial zones from April next year.
However, the industries that receive approval for getting gas outside the economic zones until next March will, however, get gas access.
The decision came after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina issued a directive to protect the country's agricultural lands and stop wastage of gas, an official said.
The Energy and Mineral Resources Division under the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources has recently issued directives to all state-run gas distribution companies to carry out the energy ministry's directives on new gas connections to industries. Energy experts have welcomed the government decision.
Energy expert, Professor Dr Badrul Imam told Bangladesh Post, "It's a very good initiative. Unplanned industrialisation eats up agricultural land posing a threat to the country's food security, and is also harmful for the environment." Besides, haphazard gas connections increase costs of both the government and entrepreneurs to lay the pipelines and build other necessary infrastructures.
Supporting the government decision, he said 'Once the decision is implemented, it will prevent unplanned industrialization, and waste of gas.'
An energy division official said, 'It will help supply natural gas with satisfactory pressure to industries. In order to discourage unplanned industrialisation, all utility services, including power and gas connection will have to be stopped in phases except for that inside the economic zones."
The officials said they will now supply electricity and gas to the new industries set up only in planned industrial zones.
Sources said, a huge amount of agricultural land is being destroyed in the country for setting up industrial units beyond planned areas.
A meeting presided over by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was held on October 20 last year. At the meeting, the Prime Minister directed the authorities concerned to discourage industrial factories in unplanned areas. Moreover, decisions were also made not to give gas and electricity facilities in unplanned areas. On January 12, the Prime Minister's directives were conveyed in a letter to various organizations regarding this issue.
State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources, Nasrul Hamid also said, the government will ensure uninterrupted gas and electricity supply at affordable prices for the industrialists in schematic industrial zones.
The minister called upon industrialists to invest in the Economic Zones. He said at a meeting recently, "Industrialists establish factories in unplanned ways overnight, destroying crops. They ask for gas and electricity supply. It poses a real problem."
"Gas and electricity can't be availed in this way. If anyone wants to have uninterrupted gas and electricity they must build their factories in industrial areas only," he added.
The government is now paying more attention to building industrial establishments in planned areas. Tanneries were running their business for years at Hazaribagh in Dhaka. But all the tanneries were shifted to Savar. The government has long-term plans to shift the pharmaceutical, chemical and other industries as well to the designated places gradually.
Officials said the government wants to transfer factories to industrial zones. But there are some challenges. Gas and electricity connection costs are high due to infrastructure problems. Besides, there is a risk of theft and systems loss. The major challenge is knowing the actual amount of gas and electricity to be supplied. So, it is sometimes difficult to provide uninterrupted gas and electricity to the factory owners.
According to the directive of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, state-owned Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA) was formed in 2010 to establish 100 economic zones by 2030. On the other hand, there are around 80 BSCIC industrial parks under Bangladesh Small and Cottage Industries Corporation for small and medium enterprises in the country where around 6,000 industries are available.

Quaker to rename Aunt Jemima products, says brand is based on "a racial stereotype"
Photo: Roberto Machado Noa/LightRocket via Getty Images
Quaker Oats announced Wednesday that it will rebrand and rename its Aunt Jemima products, saying it recognizes that the brand's "origins are based on a racial stereotype," NBC News reports.
Why it matters: In the wake of protests over systemic racism and police brutality, private companies are being forced to reckon with how their consumer products or branding may be harmful or offensive to communities of color.
What they're saying: "We recognize Aunt Jemima's origins are based on a racial stereotype. As we work to make progress toward racial equality through several initiatives, we also must take a hard look at our portfolio of brands and ensure they reflect our values and meet our consumers' expectations," Kristin Kroepfl, vice president and chief marketing officer of Quaker Foods North America, said in a press release.
Context: The Aunt Jemima logo was inspired by the minstrel song "Old Aunt Jemima," according to a 2015 New York Times piece authored by Riché Richardson, an associate professor of African American literature at Cornell.
Richardson called the logo "an outgrowth of Old South plantation nostalgia and romance grounded in an idea about the 'mammy,' a devoted and submissive servant who eagerly nurtured the children of her white master and mistress while neglecting her own."
What's next: Quaker said the new packaging will appear on shelves in the fall of 2020.
The company has also announced it will donate at least $5 million over next five years "to create meaningful, ongoing support and engagement in the black community."

Crime Briefs: After speeding without a valid license, suspect leads police on foot chase
Crime | May 25, 2018
A Rifle Police Officer initiated a traffic stop May 14 after noticing a red vehicle traveling 15 miles faster than the speed limit.
The officer said he started following the vehicle at about 1:50 a.m. It swerved over the emergency lane repeatedly.
The officer said he turned on his emergency overhead lights and the driver slammed on the car's brakes, swerving onto and off of the highway's exit ramp before finally coming to a stop.
The officer said he observed the driver and passenger switch seats before making contact with the vehicle, adding the suspicious behavior prompted him to call for backup. Three additional law enforcement officials came to his aid.
The officer said he approached a female in the driver's seat who was shaking excessively and a male, with a blanket over his head, was sitting in the front seat, "acting like he was asleep." However, the officer noticed the passenger opened his eyes several times to look at the officer from under the blanket.
An officer approached the passenger's side of the vehicle and asked for his ID. The 22-year-old said he had lost it and gave officers two aliases when they asked for him to verbally identify himself.
The female admitted she had switched seats with the male because he didn't have a valid driver's license. Officers said in court papers, the woman also had a protection order against an unknown male.
Officers asked the male passenger to step out of the vehicle after he provided a third false name.
He stated about six times that he hadn't done anything wrong, adding that he didn't want to go back to jail again.
Then he ran.
After a short foot chase, an officer used a stun gun to subdue the male.
After verifying his real name, officers found the aforementioned protective order was issued against the male. He is charged with violating a restraining order, criminal impersonation, obstructing law enforcement officers, speeding and driving without a license.
A 32-year-old male suspected of a series of car break-ins was arrested last week for failing to appear in court.
The crimes stem back six months and started with a Rifle police officer who reported a car break-in and a series of fraudulent purchases on his health savings account card.
Court documents indicate that someone shattered the officer's passenger window and stole his wallet while the officer and friends were climbing in Rocky Mountain Park on Dec. 21. The officer said he could see his car from where he was climbing and noticed another vehicle pull up alongside it during the hike. In court documents, he said it's common for people to stop and take pictures near where he parked, and he thought nothing of it.
Later that day, the officer visited Alpine Bank to report his HSA card had been stolen. The teller said there had been recent activity on the card, indicating more than $1,500 in purchases at various stores in Glenwood Springs and Silt.
The teller was able to obtain surveillance footage of the suspect making the fraudulent payments. An investigator with the Garfield County Sheriff's Office said she recognized the person in the footage from previous car break-ins.
She said the suspect was no longer in jail and may be in the area.
Officers searched for the suspect's vehicle and found it matched the description of the car that had stopped at Rocky Mountain Park.
On Jan. 11, the suspect was arrested for a crime unrelated to this case. He was questioned about using the officer's HSA card and refused to speak to police officers. He was released on bail and failed to reappear in court to address those charges.
On May 18, he was rearrested for failing to comply and appear in court for the previous charges, which are not specified in the court documents.
His girlfriend was shown surveillance footage and asked to identify him in the video. She mentioned she had never seen him in the clothes he wore but said the suspect resembled him.
He has been charged with six crimes related to ID theft and criminal trespassing.
DRUG BUST
A Glenwood Springs Police officer initiated a traffic stop May 18 after he noticed a gray Honda traveling with a cracked windshield.
The officer wrote in court documents that the crack in the windshield was obstructing the driver's view.
In making initial contact with the driver, the officer says he noticed a bottle of tequila in the vehicle's center console and, after running the driver's license plate, he found the color of the car did not match what was listed on the registration.
The driver said he had just purchased the car and wasn't sure if it was insured, adding that his license wasn't valid in the state of Colorado. The officer wrote in the court papers that he asked a female passenger for her name and identification and she stated her name, adding she had no ID.
After running the driver's identification, the officer found two active cases involving child support non-payment.
The officer said he found no record of the female, which made him suspect she had provided false information. She retracted her previous statement once the officer told her of his suspicion and admitted she had given a fake name because she had five warrants for her arrest.
She was arrested and, upon searching possessions, the officer found hypodermic needles in her purse.
The male driver was not arrested but advised he would be detained through further investigation.
He told officers that the female had "hidden narcotics in her crotch" at the time of the traffic stop.
The officer, who says he walked around the vehicle, observed a plastic baggie with narcotics on the floor behind the passenger's seat. He also located a Diazepam pill and two more hypodermic needles with a knife inside the vehicle. When the officer asked whom the Diazepam belonged to, the female passenger admitted everything was hers.
The officer asked the 33-year-old woman if she had any other drugs hidden on her, and she said no. At Garfield County Jail, a body scanner detected more drugs hidden inside the woman's body.
The officer asked her to come clean again, and she agreed to remove the drugs.
She has been charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance, theft, forgery, failure to appear and three counts of failing to comply/ pay.
Area law enforcement prepare as red flag gun law provisions take effect
Some local law enforcement don't like the red flag gun law, but they're still learning how to enforce it if they have to.

September 11, 2019By The Golden ScopePosted in Travel
New Zealand, a fairyland… it's impossible not to think about the saga of The Lord of the Rings and its beautiful natural settings, … a country where most of us would like to live…
A country with multiple natural beauties, ranging from the sea to the mountains, from the scenic plains to the lakes of breathtaking beauty, and then… volcanoes, geysers and hot thermal sources.
Rotorua is a little town located in the North Island and it is strongly influenced by tourism, since the nineteenth century, its thermal sources with therapeutic properties are very popular in New Zealand.
The Hells Gate SPA, a name a program! In fact, already at the entrance, you will find yourself immersed in a real "environment theme" with pools and channels of boiling and steaming mud!
Obviously special thanks aside, full of mud, were created, these tanks have a warm temperature, they are bearable for the human and the mud used for therapeutic purposes without burning…
A lush greenery landscape surrounds everything and thermal vapors creates light effects …. a very relaxing atmosphere.
There is also the Polynesian SPA, with a greater number of pools and gardens then Hells Gate SPA, moreover it is not immersed in the wilderness.
In the whole area of Rotorua town, the underground is a hot thermal source; residents may have their own SPA in the garden!
At sunset the thermal steam rises from the ground and plays with the sun, we are in New Zealand, Gandalf, the old wizard of the Lord of the Rings, could appear, riding his white horse and with his inseparable magic stick in his right hand…

My code is continuously giving me this error:
ValueError: parameters are of unsupported type

I have no idea how this error is occurring and I want to know a way of fixing it.

A: You can see from the documentation at https://docs.python.org/2/library/sqlite3.html that the second parameter in cursor.executemany() is a list of tuples where each tuple is one row. You seem to be passing in a tuple of tuples where each of the inner tuple is a column. Using zip as Tom mentioned above should fix it.

if possible, copy the Subject also into your mail itself (the "body"). if you want to change the list, write "change" instead of "subscribe".
Here is an introduction written by the list owner.
For quite a long time now, I have been distributing news and background information on the copper-rich and war-torn island of Bougainville, which "belongs" politically to 700 km distant Papua New Guinea (PNG) but has been fighting for its self-determination for over nine years now. Up to 20.000 of the once 160.000 Bougainvilleans have lost their lives (about 40.000 live as refugees) mainly due to an (almost) complete military blockade by the PNG "Defence Force" until mid-97 - which has targeted medical supplies above all - but also through the bloody and often merciless war between the PNGDF and its auxiliary "Resistance Forces" - backed militarily and financially by the Australian government - on the one hand and the independence movement on the other. The independence movement has a military wing, the BRA (=Bougainville Revolutionary Army) and a closely associated political organisation, the BIG (=Bougainville Interim Government). The BRA was formed in the initial period of the conflict, between Nov.88 and mid-89. The BIG, constituted in early 1990, declared the island independent on 17.5.90, after an initial victory of the BRA had forced the PNG army and its Australian ally to withdraw from the island in March 1990. A determined attempt at the reconquest of Bougainville began late 1990, based on attempts to set the multiple Bougainville "tribes" against one another and on the total blockade of the BIG/BRA controlled areas. In early 1995 the PNG government, with Australian support, formed a "Bougainville Transitional Government" (BTG), based in the small northern island of Buka. The strongest base of the BRA is situated in Central Bougainville in the area around the Panguna copper mine, which was run by BCL (=Bougainville Copper Ltd.) which is mainly owned by the Anglo-Australian mining giant Rio Tinto. The mine was opened against strenuous opposition by the local population between 1969 and 1972 (production start). The BRA closed it definitely in May 1989 since for the former landowners (and other natives) the Panguna mining meant dispossession and exploitation (of land and people) and heavy environmental devastation and poisoning.
After the last election in June 1997 the PNG government of Prime Minister Skate embarked in peace talks without preconditions with the leaders of the BIG/BRA (and the other Bougainville fractions). Currently a formal ceasefire has been negotiated after a truce has now held for several months. This Lincoln Agreement on peace comprises a "permanent and irrevocable ceasefire" from 30.April on, talks within the next six months about the future political status of Bougainville, elections of a "Bougainville Reconciliation Government" this year, and phased substitution of the PNG troops by local police forces. But scepsis is still more than advisable since the reopening of the Panguna mine seems to be still on the agenda of at least Australia as foreign minister Downer said: "I have worked hard to make sure we keep the mine completely out of sight for all of these talks. It is the most emotive and the most difficult issue of all." WHOSE ISSUE?!
But however it may come - after horrific losses (more than 10% of the population) the desire for peace is intense amongst the people of Bougainville.
for ALL the news and "papers" I find in the net. This "normal" list suites to activists or the very interested to get an overview on what is published on the whole issue.
[BougI-xL] Bougainville Info eXcerpts or Bougainville Info eXtended List (incl. BougI-L subscribers) for interested people, specialised journalists, or for the overloaded activists who don't need to know all the details. This mailing list will cover say about a third of BougI-L.
Currently there are 30 subscribers on [BougI-L] and 25 on [BougI-xL].


The Communist Party Marxist is in news but for negative reasons.
None less than party leader Prakash Karat had to clarify that the debate in the CPI(M) over the draft political resolution was not factionalism or a clash between him and general secretary Sitaram Yechury.
Karat went to blame the media instead for making conclusions of its own.
The issue came into light after central committee taking up two draft resolutions — the Politburo draft presented by Karat and the minority draft presented by Yechury.
Arguing that the CPI(M) has a distinctive style of functioning based on the organisational principles of democratic centralism, he said different views can be expressed on political issues.


How to become a Gentlemen?
1) Avoid third party way of speech.
Eg. Expressing a negative thought of self as said by someone or towards an organization.
This can be avoided by giving things with smiling face. This establishes social adjustment of us. Through this we can win people day by day, our thoughts and speech are given much importance in the group. Though if any of the individual approaching you with negative or blaming speech, avoid the same with smiling face. It doesn't mean that we don't have the capability to give solution for that, we are lions to give the solution at right place and at right time. keep this in mind guys.
2) Taking the responsibility of group if any mistake is done by others and giving the credit to the group even though it is done by the self.
This is one of the perfect leadership quality. i.e standing in front of the group if issues arise and giving the group in front if credits arise.
3) Doing constructive things (hobbies) at free time.
4) Doing more self analysis and maintaining a chart to read our graph.
In life everything is a measurement, so reading our self and mapping our performance is a superior act. This gives self improvement. Since, if we are able to analyse the self, then at a threshold level we can able to analyse the group.
5) We are the best, so no comparison with others.
since you are the best in the world. Just do self analysis and improve your skills. This way of approach improves us day by day and also reduces competitive mind set. The same is required in the armed forces as there is no competition while working in a group only group dynamics is expected.


When Alaska Airlines flight attendant Sheila Fedrick helped rescue a teenage girl from a suspected human trafficker back in February, the incident made global headlines. But behind the scenes, carriers have worked for years to help combat modern-day slavery, as the Department of Homeland Security calls trafficking. Last year, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 1,952 suspected human traffickers and identified 437 victims, according to a spokesperson.
To train employees how to recognize those situations, most airlines team up with organizations like Virginia-based Airline Ambassadors, Washington, DC's Polaris Project, or the federal government, whose Blue Lightning Initiative has trained over 70,000 workers in the aviation industry to spot the signs of trafficking.
Delta, which moves 180 million passengers around the world annually, took up the fight early, throwing support behind Bangkok-based ECPAT (End Child Prostitution and Trafficking) back in 2011, when few airlines took public positions on the issue.
But not every airline matches Delta's enthusiasm, said Nancy Rivard, the career flight attendant who founded Airline Ambassadors in 1996. The organization launched its human-trafficking training in 2009.
Airline Ambassadors is bringing attention to the plight of human trafficking with wallet cards like these. Image courtesy of Airline Ambassadors.
Delta, JetBlue and Silver Airways are most out in front in the fight, Rivard said, while United and Southwest rank near the bottom.
"I think they want to do right, but just haven't," she said.
In fact, United offered the least detailed response of any airline we asked about training policies.
"I don't have anything to offer beyond sharing that we currently incorporate training aspects in line with measures to identify security concerns," Charlie Hobart, a United spokesman, said by email.
When asked whether a flight attendant who had undergone training could be made available for an interview, he demurred.
For flight attendants, training involves learning what to watch for.
Flight attendants then report suspected trafficking situations to the cockpit crew, who in turn alert law enforcement on the ground. In all training programs, direct confrontation is strongly discouraged, because it can quickly escalate and become dangerous.
American Airlines crew teams receive training from DHS through Blue Lightning, according to AA spokesman Ross Feinstein. Training material appears in employee flight manuals, which are also linked from AA's internal employee portal. The airline supports Airline Ambassadors by donating miles, which helps to defray the cost of repatriating victims or allows them to attend the criminal trials of their traffickers.
Alaska Airlines said in a statement that it "implemented this training for flight attendants on human trafficking in 2015 as part of their required recurrent training course." JetBlue, on the other hand, didn't respond to our requests for a comment at all.
Passengers can help, too, since, according to Rivard, flight attendants aren't necessarily trained properly all the time. If you suspect that your seat-mates on a long-haul flight might be a trafficker and victim, report it to a flight attendant, Rivard said. Then, tip off DHS once you land. Airline Ambassadors recently launched a reporting app that connects travelers directly to DHS hotlines.
Whether training efforts are taking a bite out of crime, however, is hard to say. DHS arrests of traffickers have fluctuated wildly year to year, but it's not even clear whether the statistics actually mean human trafficking is getting better or worse, or simply shifting to other means.
Delta, at least, hopes its anti-trafficking stance will deter criminals.
If you've seen what you think may be human trafficking, call the Department of Homeland Security at 866-347-2423 (toll-free) or 802-872-6199 (international calls) or report the incident online via the tips line for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

A study that tried evaluating decentralization level of top 2 cryptocurrencies found that a blockchain designed like EOS with 21 "miners" (block producers) is more decentralized than Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Decentralized is a term that most people use to describe distributed, but technically it means things that require you to go through a third party, but there are at least a few third parties you can pick from.
Centralized technically means you have to go through one party (as in a monopoly) but people use it to mean a limited number of options. So when people say banks are centralized, they mean you can't avoid using a bank.
EOS uses clever parallelization techniques on top of Graphene, an Open Source, mostly C++, blockchain implementation that was originally developed as the foundation of Bitshares, a cryptocurrency exchange marketplace. Thanks to this design, EOS promises it will be able to support more than 100,000 transactions per second – more than adequate speed to support NYSE, VISA and cryptokitties on one blockchain.
EOS pulls off this remarkable scalability through the use of something that's called dPOS – delegated proof-of-stake. While in conventional POS and POW blockchains there are unlimited number of nodes and miners who are in competition to produce a new block, in EOS this number is finite and will be limited to 21 nodes. The 21 nodes aka block producers will be elected by network participants and token holders through a voting mechanism.
Ethereum supporters will be fast to jump on this and mention that this setup is much more centralized than Vitalik's ETH blockchain. But is that really the case? A peer reviewed study conducted at the beginning of the year indicates that EOS might actually be a more decentralized network than Bitcoin or Ethereum.
Distribution of mining power in Bitcoin and Ethereum networksBitcoin and Ethereum are centralized because top three miners in Bitcoin and top 4 miners in Ethereum control more than 50% of the overall hashrate. The study also states that a Byzantine quorum system of 20 block producers would create a better decentralization in real world than theoretically infinite-decentralized BTC and ETH.
The study has some more results that draw attention.
One of the arguments against block size increase, and against the infamous SegWit2x hard fork, was that bigger block size would make the network less centralized because of larger hardware requirements. However, the study shows that since 2016 the majority of BTC full nodes have increased their bandwidth by 1.7x. To put this another way, if people were happy with how Bitcoin was decentralized in 2016 then increasing block size by 1.7x would provide the same level of decentralization as back then.
Maybe if this study appeared earlier we would have successfully hard forked to SegWit1.7x, which would have almost doubled the amount of transactions the network can process without taking a hit on decentralization.
Bitcoin is serious business. Compared to Ethereum, more bitcoin nodes are clustered together. In other words, Ethereum is better distributed geographically. Only 28% of Ethereum nodes were identified to be running in a datacenter, compared to Bitcoin's 56%. This could be an indicator of increased corporatization of BTC.
No matter what coin you hold in high regard, it's important to regularly inspect your choices and to look at the cryptocurrency's fundamentals. Bitcoin's and Ethereum's biggest assets are strong brand presence and alleged decentralization. The study that we spoke about in this blog post indicates that as time goes by POW based systems have a tendency to become more centralized. Thus, in the future, branding might become the only asset of these digital assets. Especially in case of bitcoin, since Ethereum plans to change its consensus model to POS.
EOS, despite going for a higher level of centralization in the protocol's design, might actually have higher decentralization than Bitcoin and Ethereum in real world. When you combine this higher degree of decentralization with 100,000 transactions per second output you get a blockchain that might rocket to the top and dominate the market in the future.
Here is how Ripple avoids classification of XRP as a security. But what would happen it was declared as one?
Ethereum Classic is the most Decentralized and undervalued…when the panic room calms down, all eyes will be on the Emerald one.


North, South, East and West – I've got some great ideas in our special GET OUT OF TOWN edition of TasteBudz.
PUTTING ON THE DOG: I've known Walter Wilkes since he was born. I'd heard friends talk about what a great chef he's become (i'm guessing Walter is in his 40s now). But I had never really sampled his fare until a couple of weeks ago when four of us visited his restaurant, The White Dog Bistro, in Mathews. Now, if you've been, you don't need me to say a word. You probably know what a fantastic place The White Dog is. First of all, the building is beautiful. It's a 175-year-old (or so) structure that began as a hotel. It's also served as a private home and and as a bed and breakfast through the years. Today Walter and his lovely wife Amanda run the place as both a restaurant as well as one of the region's most popular wedding venues. Of course, they do other private events as well.
There's so much to love about The White Dog. Where do I start. As Ms. Julie Andrews sang, "Let's start at the very beginning." From the moment you enter, you're greeted by a warm welcome and with the warmth of the beautiful, cozy building. There may even be a fire in the fireplace to add to the homeyness. Perhaps Amanda, herself, will be there to welcome and direct you to your table.
Take a look at the menu. For a small restaurant, Walter has put together a rather sizable menu featuring seafood, beef, duck, even game. There is plenty to choose from as regards appetizers. I had the charcuterie – very lovely presentation of cheeses and cured meats. Other appetizers ordered at the table included a fantastic shrimp cocktail as well as a seafood and salad combination. We all sampled everything and it was all a hit with our table of four.
I chose the dry-aged ribeye for my entree. Now, I'll admit, I'm more of a very rare sort of guy when it comes to my beef. And with the way this is aged and smoked, it only is available in medium and up. But I decided to give it a try. It was outstanding. The smokiness of the roasted prime rib was a delight. The accompaniments, which were highlighted by the garlic mashed potatoes were also excellent. As someone with a healthy appetite, I was surprised and happy that the portions were generous. There are many great local restaurants, but I'm not a fan of the current "Let's give'em a twig and a smear of mashed potatoes" mentality. Since when did a good meal have to look as if it were part of a starvation diet. Walter says that while a large percentage of his guests are from Richmond or other metro areas, including D.C., he still has to keep the preferences of the locals in mind and according to him, the locals like a bountiful meal. I'm with the locals and probably a lot of the out-of-towners, too, truth be told.
I hesitated to order the crab cake because sometimes a talented chef will get too cutesy with the dish and flavor it up so that it doesn't exactly taste like crab. Walter didn't play with the taste. It was perhaps the best crab cake I'd ever had. So fresh and moist with just enough filler to make it a cake. It was indescribably delicious. Okay, I stole that line. So sue me.
Next time, I'm going to go with the duck or the venison. But, from my experience as well as the raves coming from our party, The White Dog Bistro is a total winner. They also have an excellent little bar, as well. It's well worth the hour drive to one of the coolest little towns on the Middle Peninsula.
PUTTING THE SHINE BACK: If you're in the mood for a unique and refreshing cocktail, then head southwest to Franklin County. I was back down that way just before the snowstorm and spent an evening enjoying the creative concoctions from Franklin County Distilleries' tasting room manager Katarina Utermark. Katarina is always concocting great cocktail ideas using the delicious products being distilled down there in Boone's Mill, such as their White Label Corn Whiskey or their Roanoke Rum or Rocky Mountain Rye. Next time you get down to the Roanoke area, head south for about another 15 minutes and check out the tasting room. Say hello to Katarina and enjoy her crafty creations.
When he started talking about opening a distillery, Michelle says she assumed it was a pipe dream of his. "I just went along with it… in theory," she says. "The next thing I know, I'm on a plane to Kentucky to learn how to run a distillery. He kept his day job and here I am." Michelle says that she had no previous distillery experience but has been a longtime fan of Bourbon. Indeed, the Three Crosses American Whiskey, featuring a traditional bourbon mash recipe, is my favorite among their product line. I thoroughly enjoyed the rye, the vodka and their shine, which has a very distinctive corn taste. But their American offers a very rich bourbon taste. The whiskey is aged for two years in oak, which adds to that taste.
Their products are not yet being sold in state stores. However you can purchase bottles as well as tastings and cocktails in their tasting room at 3835 Old Buckingham Road in Powhatan. The tasting room is open from Thursdays through Sundays. Check their webpage for hours.
The distillery offers a variety of events and other promotions. For the past several months they've been offering a portion of their rum sales to VAU – a Veterans support group aimed at helping disabled vets participate in athletic activities.
This Saturday, starting at noon, Tara Powers of Vanilla & Bourbon will be on hand offering her wares. Tara operates a southern style bakery serving bourbon-infused desserts. She uses Three Crosses products in many of her pastries.
It all sounds quite delicious to me.
GET READY FOR THE WEEKEND: Okay, let's run down the upcoming music scene. Kari Smith is back at The Wine Loft beginning at 8 p.m. this evening. Ask her to play The Luckiest, one of my current favorite songs.
Tomorrow, Friday the 14th, finds The Taters doing their thing at Postive Vibe Cafe. They always put on a great show. They'll get underway about 7:30 p.m.
Gypsy Roots will be doing their unique brand of music at Ashland's own Iron Horse Restaurant on Saturday night (9 – midnight). Catch a show and enjoy a great meal.
No matter which direction you head in, there's good food, music and drink to be had. So don't let me hear you whining that there's nothing to do.

One Giant (Space) Leap for Aussie School Students
How can we nurture the next generation of diverse, bright and well-rounded students with a passion for STEM and the space industry?
The answer lies in an air leak on the International Space Station (ISS) – and only NASA's Astrobee is able to undertake the emergency repairs to fix it! This is the storyline of the Kibo Robot Programming Challenge (Kibo RPC) for 2021. This is a virtual programming challenge where students develop code for the Astrobee robot, currently located on the ISS.
The Kibo RPC is an international competition hosted by the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in collaboration with NASA and the space agencies of the Asia-Pacific region. Whilst the preliminary rounds of the competition occur on a simulated version of the ISS, the final round with the top 9 teams takes place live from onboard the ISS Kibo research and education module, where code written by the student teams is uploaded directly onto the Astrobee.
The Kibo RPC aims to put school and university students in touch with other bright STEM students across the Asia-Pacific. Another aim is to facilitate current research and development taking place in some of the space industry's top organisations. The program is designed to develop students' educational and professional goals to a higher level by giving them the opportunity to pick up new coding languages, learn from actual Astrobee code, and develop creative ways to solve novel problems such as effective robot navigation in microgravity.
Coincidentally, the competition commenced in 2020 around the same time as the COVID-19 pandemic hit. It provided a perfect opportunity for online learning to prove its success in creating STEM programs that teach skills essential to a global, collaborative space industry. The 2020 competition was a huge success, and Kibo RPC returned in 2021 with a new storyline, more teams registered and an increase in participating countries. The atmosphere of the whole competition is positive – countries have the opportunity to work together, to come up with solutions to challenges and develop each other's coding and problem solving skills.
The One Giant Leap Australia Foundation (OGLA), supported by the Australian Space Agency, hosted Australia's 2021 preliminary trial round with 15 participating teams. Each team had about a month to learn JavaScript and the Android programming environment, simulate their code on JAXA's Astrobee simulator, and attain the highest score possible by meeting certain criteria, being accurate, and working under various initial conditions. Along the way, OGLA provided their guidance by hosting free regular live-online Kibo RPC tutorial sessions. The value of collaboration and approachability during the competition was clear – highlighted by last year's finalists Galen VEX. The team shared their experiences and helped other teams solve problems they had encountered during the 2020 competition. This showcases the collaborative nature of Kibo RPC members. The aim is to nurture, facilitate and grow our space industry.
To determine which team would represent Australia in the International competition, the preliminary Australian trial round was held in early July. Dream Rover from Sydney Robotics Club reigned supreme with an "A" score, successfully completing all the tasks set out and fixing the hypothetical leak on the ISS.
Most interestingly, Dream Rover is a team of Sydney school students. One of the team members is Annabel, an 11 year old student from Artarmon Public School. Incredibly, all Australian finalist teams have been of a school age, even though university teams have also entered. This proves that there is a plethora of bright young students who would benefit from STEM outreach opportunities leading to future career paths.
In late July, the representative teams selected from each of the nine countries came together virtually for the International Programming Skills round conducted by JAXA. This competition was held to provide not only a ranking order but also to arrange the team schedule for the finals to be held in a live hook-up with the ISS in September where their code will actually control the robots in real time and not use a simulator. The Australian team, Dream Rover, took seventh place out of the nine countries. It is a compliment that Dream Rovers are a NSW based team from 5 different schools and most of the other countries are from university-based teams.
Dream Rover expressed their collective interest in space and robotics, which motivated them to succeed in the Kibo RPC:
"We are very enthusiastic about this competition because we are interested in deepening our understanding of space and robotics. During the process of the competition, we developed a special bond through our common interest, and learnt about teamwork and determination. With hope, skill, and some luck, we endeavour to bring the Dream Rover spirit out into space."
"Inspiring the next generation of the space workforce through STEM education and activities like the Kibo Robot Programming Challenge will help support the growth of Australia's space industry in the years and decades to come," said Head of the Australian Space Agency Enrico Palermo.
"A big congratulations to Dream Rover for their accomplishments as part of this year's challenge. May this terrific achievement inspire many other Australian teams to participate in 2022."
"We were delighted to be able to support this exciting STEM initiative and we celebrate team Dream Rover's success," said NSW Chief Scientist & Engineer, Professor Hugh Durrant-Whyte. "Coincidentally, the NSW Government has announced the establishment of a NSW Space Research Network, so it's entirely appropriate that we're encouraging our next generation of scientists to further develop their interest and excitement about STEM, space, robotics and their potential future career prospects in these industries."
One Giant Leap Australia Foundation has been pioneering these types of opportunities in Australia. Its mission is to invest in tomorrow's future by providing access to STEM and space education today.
Australia's space industry continues to expand. There are many opportunities for industry growth, such as Earth observation, and improved communications, surveillance and navigation satellites that will not only grow the space industry but also provide a benefit to other major Australian industries, such as agriculture and mining. This, along with ongoing privatisation and the development of new launch sites in Australia and increasing visibility of our space sector on the international stage, means that the demand for jobs in this sector will grow. This is reflected in the Australian Civil Space Strategy 2019-2028, which aims to create another 20,000 jobs in the industry by 2030.
The Kibo RPC was an experience that has inspired its participants to further develop their interest and excitement about STEM, space, robotics, and the potential future career prospects in these industries.
One Giant Leap Australia Foundation Director, Bob Carpenter OAM stated that – "Unique, high quality, equitable, engaging STEM education opportunities are essential to inspire the next generation of students to improve our nation's space capabilities and create a well-rounded workforce. Kibo RPC is one of those programs. Are you ready to sign up for 2022?"

Remembering and Discovering
The connection between you and I is very old and familiar,
the attachment of today is from the past,
albeit you are forgotten.
(Sa'adi)
In the Persian language the word for human beings is Ânsân. One of the qualities of Ânsân is to be flexible and be able to detach. In contrast, humankind is referred to as Naas, which means forgetful. These are two important attributes of human beings: being adaptive and flexible on one hand while on the other hand being forgetful. Some traditions claim that the ego can be controlled and the higher Self awakened by self-discipline and asceticism. However, the awakening of the inner metaphysical senses, also referred to as the third eye or the sixth sense, cannot be achieved by asceticism. While asceticism can stop the ego to act in extremes, the awakening and finding of the true Self and becoming one with this true Self requires remembering. Remembering differs from asceticism, which is not enough to discover the true Self.
Thus far, we learned that Gnosticism or Erfan comprise a way of discovery, which utilizes our suprasensorial perception. This perception does not involve the use of our five senses. Contemporary science is contrast is purely based on discoveries that are derived from repeated laboratory experiments, which utilize the five senses. We also mentioned the vast origins of Erfan, which means that anything can be the subject of one's discovery.
Let us remember the two meanings of Erfan:
The first meaning entails a more general description, meaning that anything can be the subject of one's discovery. The second meaning of Erfan concerns the discovery of the true Self and God. The Self and God are connected and this connection can be summarised in one sentence:
Those who discover themselves, will discover God
as is carved above the entrance of the temple of Delphi. Hence, Erfan specifically means the discovery of the true Self and God. However, at a basic level, Erfan is the discovery based on one's extrasensorial suprasensorial perception. This approach complements science, which is based on repeated laboratory experiments, logic, and rational thinking. The two approaches, science and Erfan, therefore go hand in hand. Yet, one might wonder why we need to develop our sixth sense and learn methods of mysticism, when we can also use science and our five senses to discover the whole universe? And how Erfan could contribute to and complement science? These questions can be answered in the following way. The three-dimensional world can be discovered and understood by the five senses. However, scientific evidence shows us that the universe is not limited to three-dimensions. More specifically, from science we know that the majority of the universe is made up of dark matter and dark energy. These types of energy cannot be observed by the five senses. In the early days of conventional modern science, existence was based on the five senses of humankind, and anything that could not be experienced by the five senses was completely denied its existence. But today science calls increasingly more this belief into question.
Discovery based on the suprasensorial perception is based on awakening the sixth sense and opening the third eye. Yet, it is not necessary to experience metaphysics through this method. We can utilize this suprasensorial perception or the sixth sense in the physical world that we are living in now. For instance, imagine two people are exchanging information by one being able to grasp and understand the thoughts that are going through the other person's mind, which is also referred to as telepathy. Telepathy is just one type of inner insight. There are many facets of reality that can be understood without spoken words. Telepathy is a way of understanding thoughts and words through the suprasensorial sense, which differs from the understanding that occurs through the five senses such as seeing and hearing.
Where our brain and rational thinking hinder the development of evolution, the mystical observations and discoveries can be used as a guide towards evolution. We could even claim, that the mystical discoveries are more advanced than scientific discoveries. This has always been like that. Mystics and philosophers such as Descartes, Kant, or Avicenna, who were very logical and rational people, acknowledged that the horizon of the intellect and logic are limited. However, humankind is not limited by the intellect and logic alone. In addition to these obstacles, there is an enormous distance between the great field of the soul that can fly and have a mystical experience and the rather limited field of rationality and the five senses.
The mystic Hafez writes:
The rationalists think that they sit at the centre of the circle of knowledge (existence),
However, only the lovers know that in reality they are lost in this circle.

Hi! I could not agree more, and I'm one of those who published the original formulation. Here's what's funny: when I first had it made for me, when I first made it for myself, well, we always restrained out addition of the Lillet automatically, almost as though running the recipe through a Dolby filter. We always wrote it the original way - but never made it that way. It never even occurred to me until somebody who got my book mentioned "Wow! You can really taste the cacao" and I thought, jeez when I make it it's really subtle, almost entirely in the aftertaste. And then I realized our mental filter!
Thanks for the comment Doc! I must admit, your fantastic book brought the cocktail back to my attention and helped me tweak my proportions just so. I recommend the book to everyone I meet.
I remember my first Twentieth Century. It was 1991. It was at Pierre's Los Feliz Inn in Los Angeles. The bartender handed me a bar guide I'd never seen before...the 1953 UKBG Guide to Drinks. I was astonished...so many drinks I'd NEVER seen before in a guide I'd never known existed. With my utterly retro nature, the Twentieth Century simply leapt out at me. One sip and...well, you know the rest!
I'm thrilled you like the book, too. It adds to the impetus for me to do another!
sign me up for the first copy!

Q: User locked via ActiveSync We have some user in our company is constantly locked in the Active Directory via ActiveSync.
We are reading logs and doing various tests. We was found out:

*

*We see logon attempts with the wrong password from IP of mobile operator.

*Phone brand is Nokia.

*Phone isn't listed in partnership list of Exchange ActiveSync. Maybe it was there, but we clean the entire list, when try to resolve the problem.

*We know a phone ID, but it's impossible to block.

*We don't know the location of the phone.

What else can we do to resolve this problem?
We can't just turn off ActiveSync, because user have another phone synchronized.

A: *

*You might be able to do a specific filter with a firewall rule, but that would probably require SSL inspection which could prove quite a headache.

*Here's an option to block ActiveSync devices (through ECP), but as far as I can tell there's no way to block a specific device, but a type.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2010/11/15/3411539.aspx

*You can try contact the mobile operator, and ask their help.

If the options above have failed (or just irrelevant), then I'd go with AWippler suggestion and change the username - it's the simplest and surest option.
EDIT:
I've just found a blog that demonstrates how to block specific device by ID, but I haven't tested it myself.
