Sunrise: 1st 07.07 30th 08.00
Sunset: 1st 16.36 30th 15.54.
New Moon: 7th at 16.01 Full Moon: 23rd at 05.39
Lunar apogee: 14th at 15.55 Lunar perigee: 26th at 12.12
The November full Moon is known as the Beaver Moon, because this is when these animals are active, building their dams in preparation for winter. Other sources say that it is because this is the time that hunters set beaver traps, before the winter freeze, to ensure a good supply of fur for the cold weather. Another name for it is the frosty Moon - for obvious reasons. If it is the last full Moon before the Winter Solstice, which this is, it is also called the Mourning Moon, celebrated by pagans as a time of cleansing and letting go of the past.
The main highlight this month is actually the lack of light - at the start we have ten and a half hours of astronomical darkness, rising to almost 12 hours by month end. And now the clocks have gone back, we have midnight back at its proper time. After the first few days in November Venus becomes the star of the show for early risers, dominating the pre-dawn sky. There are a few meteor showers and a better than usual chance of fireballs. And the often overlooked constellation of Cetus might be worth a look - at the end of the month it's home to a comet, a dwarf planet and a 'wonderful' brightening star.
Mercury: in Scorpio, mag -0.2
Very difficult to see throughout the month. On 1st it sets half an hour after the Sun and is on the horizon as the sky begins to darken. Reaches greatest eastern elongation on 6th, but isn't any higher at dusk. It moves into Ophiuchus on 8th and back into Scorpio on 26th, when it appears only 3 degrees from the Sun. Reaches inferior conjunction on 27th and crosses the border into Libra on 30th, when it rises at 07.15, only 45 minutes before the Sun and separated from it by 4 degrees and much fainter at mag 3.8.
Venus: in Virgo, mag -4.1
Now a morning 'star' but very low in the brightening sky in the first few days of the month. On 1st it rises at 06.37, about half an hour before the Sun, and is on the horizon at dawn. On 6th it is close to the waning crescent Moon, very low in the east at around 6am. Its position then improves rapidly and by the second week in November it should be easily visible, on 8th it rises at 05.43 and reaches 8 degrees in the east before the sky brightens a little before 7am. It will also have brightened to mag -4.4. By 30th it rises at 04.09, nearly 4 hours before Sunrise, reaching 22 degrees in the south east while the sky is still reasonably dark. It will have brightened to mag -4.7 and be totally unmissable - weather and tall buildings permitting.
Almost worth getting out of bed early for!
Mars: in Capricorn, mag -0.6
Still very prominent in the early evening,although it is moving away from us and is therefore fainter, and smaller when seen through a telescope, To compensate it is now much higher in the sky than it was when at its brightest. On 1st it is 15 degrees above the south eastern horizon as the sky darkens, culminating at an altitude of 19 degrees at 19.01 and setting at 23.30. It moves into Aquarius on 12th, when it reaches 22 degrees in the south just before 19.00. The first quarter Moon passes close to the planet on 16th, they should be visible 18 degrees above the south eastern horizon at around 16.30, with the Moon to the left of Mars. They are actually at their closest, less than 1 degree apart, at 5am on the morning of 16th when they are below our horizon. By 30th it will have faded to mag -0.1 but will be even higher, reaching 27 degrees in the south at 18.13. Because the eastward motion of the planet is at the same rate as the apparent westward motion of the stars, it sets at the same time - 23.30 - throughout the month.
Jupiter: in Libra, mag -1.7
Not visible in November, despite its brightness. On 1st it is only 2 degrees above the horizon at dusk. It moves into Scorpio on 21st, when it is 4 degrees from the Sun. Reaches Solar conjunction, when it is on the opposite side of the Sun to the Earth, on 26th. On 30th it is a morning object but still not visible, rising 20 minutes before the Sun and separated from it by only 3 degrees.
Saturn: in Sagittarius, mag 0.6
Should be visible for a short time after Sunset in early November, from a site with a clear southern horizon. On 1st it is at an altitude of 11 degrees soon after 17.00 as the sky darkens. On 11th at the same time it will be less than 1 degree south west of the crescent Moon while the sky is still quite bright. By 30th it will be slightly fainter at mag 0.5 and only 6 degrees above the horizon at dusk.
Uranus: in Aries, mag 5.7
Still very well placed for binocular observation, or even naked eye under ideal conditions. On 1st it rises at 16.11 and reaches 21 degrees in the east by 19.00, culminating 47 degrees above the southern horizon at 23.16. On 20th at around 20.00 the gibbous Moon passes 5 degrees south of the planet, however the Lunar glare means that isn't a good time to try to see it. On 30th it is at 26 degrees in the east as the sky darkens, reaching 47 degrees in the south at 21.18. As always, a scope is needed to show its blue green disc.
Neptune: in Aquarius, mag 7.9
Visible in the earlier part of the night during November. On 1st it is 21 degrees above the south eastern horizon as the sky darkens, reaching 29 degrees in the south by 18.00 and setting just before 2am. In the early evening of 17th the 70% waning Moon passes it about 6 degrees to the east. By month end it is best seen in the early evening , on 30th it reaches 29 degrees at 18.30, then sinks to 22 degrees by 21.00, setting just before midnight. Not really a binocular object except under ideal conditions and with good binoculars, a scope is necessary for showing a small rich blue disc.
Dwarf planets and asteroids.
Ceres, in Virgo, mag 8.7
The closest of the dwarf planets is still not easy to see this month after October's solar conjunction.On 1st it rises at 05.23 but is separated from the Sun by just 14 degrees. On 30th it rises over three and a half hours before the Sun but is only 12 degrees above the horizon by dawn.
Possible photographic targets - for experienced amateur astrophotographers.
Eris: in Cetus mag 18.8
On 1st it culminates at 23.07, 34 degrees above the southern horizon. By 30th it reaches this altitude at 21.12.
Ony 12 degrees above the horizon by dawn on 1st. By mid month it rises soon after 3am and reaches 22 degrees by 06.00. On 30th it rises at 02.14 and gets to 34 degrees in the east by 06.23.
Makemake: in Coma Berenices,mag 17.2
Rises at 02.01 on 1st and reaches 28 degrees in the east as the sky begins to brighten. Its position improves during the month, on 30th it rises at 00.10 and gets to 50 degrees in the south east by dawn.
Pluto: in Sagittarius, mag 14.7
Not an easy target this month as it never gets higher than 14 degrees above the horizon.
A better bet for those interested in photographing small objects might be:-
Juno, in Eridanus, mag 7.6.
This month is a very good time to try to spot the third asteroid to be discovered, as it reaches opposition on 17th and will be at its closest and brightest for 13 years. It is very small, only about 3% of the mass of Ceres, but is very reflective and also quite close to us at the moment: slightly further than the Earth - Sun distance, which explains its current brightness. On 1st it reaches 21 degrees in the south east at 22.11, and 35 degrees in the south by 01.31. At opposition it will have brightened slightly to mag 7.4, reaching an altitude of 32 degrees at 00.18. On 30th it will have started to fade again and be at 31 degrees in the south at 23.13. As with Neptune it might be visible in good binoculars from a dark sky site, unlike Neptune even a fairly large scope won't show it as anything other than a dot, as it is so small.

We have one fairly good shower this month
Leonids: active Nov 6th to 30th, peak 17/18th ZHR 10 -20 Parent comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle. Although the predicted time of the peak is given as 22.30, the shower is best seen after midnight when the radiant is reasonably high. This year the Moon sets at 01.22 on the morning of 18th. They are bright, sometimes colourful, fast moving meteors often leaving long trails.
Minor showers
Northern Taurids: active.Oct 20th to Dec 10th, ZHR 5, The peak is given as Nov 10th, when the Moon sets at 18.26, but there is likely to be enhanced activity for about 10 days in early to mid November. They are bright, slow moving meteors very similar to the Southern Taurids - not surprising as it is thought that they were originally just one shower. They often include fireballs, so the chance of these is higher in early to mid November when both showers are active. Parent comet is the predecessor of Encke.
Alpha Monocerotids: active Nov 17th to December 2nd. ZHR 3 -5. Peak is given as the early hours of 22nd, when the almost full Moon doesn't set until 06.17 so will seriously interfere. The radiant is very low in our sky so the actual number of meteors seen is usually fewer than 3. This shower is best known for its occasional spectacular outbursts. This year could possibly see slightly higher rates but nothing which could be described as spectacular is predicted.
November Orionids: active Nov 14th to Dec 6th, peak Nov 28th, ZHR 3. Again, the Moon will be in the way, rising at 21.48 on 28th. The radiant of this minor shower is only a few degrees east of that of the Northern Taurids but meteors from the 2 showers should be easily distinguishable as the Orionids are much faster moving.
Comets:
As usual there are several very faint comets around but only a couple brighter than mag 10.
38P/Stephan-Oterma, in Gemini, mag 9.6. On 1st it rises at 20.41 and culminates, 54 degrees above the southern horizon, at 04.38. During the month it moves north eastwards below the main stars of Gemini. On the night of 8/9th it passes only 8 arcminutes from NGC 2392, the Eskimo nebula. It reaches perihelion on 10th, when it will be marginally brighter at mag 9.5. It should carry on brightening slowly, predicted to reach 9.3 by 21st, then remain steady for the rest of the month. It crosses the border into Cancer on 30th, when it rises at 18.29, reaching 64 degrees in the south at 03.41. It's high altitude makes it a good telescopic or photographic target.
46P/Wirtanen, in Fornax, mag 9,7. Still too low to be seen from our latitude even though it is now moving northwards. Some sources say that it will reach naked eye visibility in mid November, others think it won't ever get above 6 or 7. It moves into Cetus on 30th, when it will probably be around mag 7.5, but might just be considerably brighter. On this night it rises at 18.04 and culminates at 21.49, stll only 13 degrees above the southern horizon, setting at 01.38.
More details of comets are given in the websites mentioned earlier and also www.cometwatch.co.uk
Also in Cetus at the end of November, variable star omicron Ceti aka Mira, the Wonderful, reaches naked eye brightness, probably around mag 3.5 but could be as bright as mag 2. The maxima vary and an exact value cannot be predicted.

Such an EMF would exist to provide conditional crisis lending to sovereign nations in trouble, as the ESM does today. It would thus perpetuate our current system of asymmetrical adjustments decreed to bailout recipients who face no parliamentary accountability or scrutiny. It features men in dark suits who arrive with foreign reform dicta. It would also enshrine the deflationary bias of the current framework, in turn deepening the corrosive political dynamics of austerity.
French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin, May 2017.
An improved monetary union with an EMF is certainly more palatable than what exists now. But it is not enough. It is an ahistorical half solution that would fall far short of making the eurozone economically and politically sustainable in the long run.

Busselton-Dunsborough TimesRegional WASouth West
Jetstar launches Busselton to Melbourne flights with fare sale
Sophie ElliottBusselton Dunsborough Times
Fri, 4 October 2019 12:33PM
Camera IconForrest MP Nola Marino, Jetstar Group chief executive officer Gareth Evans, State Regional Development Minister Alannah MacTiernan and City of Busselton Mayor Grant Henley celebrate the announcement.
Jetstar has launched its Busselton to Melbourne service with a five-day fare sale, offering passengers one-way tickets for just $89.
The first flight will take off on March 25, making the low-cost carrier the first airline to link the east coast of Australia and the Margaret River region.
Direct flights from Melbourne to Busselton will operate Monday, Wednesday and Saturday with more than 1100 seats available weekly.
The new service is predicted to contribute more than $40 million to the WA economy over the next three years, with more than 60,000 visitors in that time.
Jetstar Group chief executive officer Gareth Evans said the airline expected strong demand from Melbournians wanting to explore the destination.
"Direct flights from Melbourne will save east coast customers the three-hour drive from Perth, putting the destination within easy reach for a short break away," he said.
"And for residents in the South West it will open up the possibility of a mini break on the east coast with direct access to the sports, culture and extensive shopping on offer in Melbourne."
The news is a huge breakthrough for the City of Busselton and its Busselton Margaret River Airport project.
Negotiations with Jetstar had been approaching two years and there had been much speculation about incentives offered by the City to secure the deal.
City of Busselton Mayor Grant Henley said while the Busselton Margaret River Airport upgrade project had met many milestones since planning commenced in 2010, securing a regular passenger transport service to the facility was particularly exciting.
"This new and direct route to Melbourne opens up a world of possibilities for local, national and international travellers and will generate income and create jobs in tourism and tourism related industries across the South West and the State more broadly," he said.
The deal will not be the catalyst to building a new passenger terminal at the airport but has sparked demands from Vasse MLA Libby Mettam and Warren-Blackwood MLA Terry Redman for the State Government to follow through on its original promise.
At today's announcement, Regional Development Minister Alannah MacTiernan said the State Government would invest $3.265 million to upgrade terminal infrastructure to allow Jetstar's air service to begin in March.
"Having a direct route trial into the South West from the Eastern States could be a game-changer that will benefit the entire region, opening up new markets and providing a platform for new business development and jobs creation," she said.
Forrest MHR Nola Marino welcomed the announcement and said the deal would not only benefit Busselton, but the entire South West.

Q: char encoding used in individual fields of certificate Its not clear to me where does the information of character encoding (AsciiString, BMPString, UTF8String etc)  used inside the individual fields of an X509 certificate (common name etc. rfc 5280 ) comes from.
We definitely can't be sure just looking at the individual character stream ( unless it's Unicode ).
Does x509 certificate contains information about character encoding elsewhere?

A: The standard specifies what each field is or can be, charset wise. And that pretty much defines it.
Furthermore - if you access a field you in essence get to see the type it was actually encoded as. So you know that what follows is UTF8, etc.
And the API absolves you from all control - so a GENERAL_NAME just breaks up into things like the field specifying objects (e.g. commonName, etc) - and the field values (e.g. a UTF8 coded name of a person). Likewise for a URI or email address - and the more contrained value that goes with that. And you get informed (obj->type) as to what it is (ASN1_UTF8STRING, etc).
So each time - what you get back is the string and how it was encoded.

Marmite is the brand name of a spreadable yeast extract that has been manufactures in England for over 100 years. It has a rich flavor and contains a number of beneficial nutrients. Its main ingredient is brewer's yeast.
The Marmite Food Company was originally set up in Burton-upon-Trent, England, in 1902. The company's mission has been to provide a tasty and healthy food product. According to the company website, the production process has hardly changed since the birth of the company. In the first stage of the process, the brewer's yeast is broken down in to proteins and soluble amino acids. This mixture is filtered before being passed through a secret flavoring process. The end result is a yeast extract paste. Vitamins and spice extracts are added, and the process is complete.
As well as yeast extract, marmite contains vegetable extract, salt, niacin, thiamin, spice extracts, folic acid, riboflavin, celery extract and vitamin B12. It contains 9 calories in a 4-gram serving. Marmite is very low in sugar, low in calories, contains no saturated fat and is completely vegetarian. To complement marmite spread, the Marmite company also produces marmite cereal bars, bread sticks, rice cakes and cheddar bites.
Brewer's yeast is made from a monocellular fungus known as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is used in the manufacture of beer. It is also grown specifically to make nutritional supplements. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, brewer's yeast has been used for centuries as a supplement. It should not be confused with torula yeast, baker's yeast or nutritional yeast.
Brewer's yeast is a good source of B complex vitamins, selenium and chromium; it also contains pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), niacin (B3), riboflavin (B2), thiamine (B1), folic acid (B9) and biotin (B7). These vitamins have a number of health benefits, including helping to break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats to provide your body with energy. They also help to maintain a healthy nervous system, support your digestive muscles and keep your eyes, hair skin, mouth and liver in good health.

The Village of Russell - 150 Years of Change and Milk
By Robert Janelle
Originally published in The Algonquin Times, October 2005
It's early morning in Russell, a long procession of cars in various makes and models moves north on Concession Street, heading for the 417 on-ramp on Boundary Road, some stopping for gas, their morning coffee or newspapers.
Village residents are making their half-hour commute westward to theirs jobs in Ottawa. It's the beginning of another day in a small village that has become increasingly urban over the years. "It's been quite a transition to a fairly sophisticated commuter town," says Tom Van Dusen, a columnist for the Ottawa Sun and resident of Russell since 1972.
"It's becoming so developed, it's almost part of the city."
But away from the main drag, off on the back roads of town, local farmers are already working, tending their fields and milking their cows. While most of the residents are collecting their pay-cheques in The City of Ottawa, for these farmers, milk is good business in Russell.
In fact, the Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation of Eastern Ontario has ranked Russell County as the number one area of milk production in the province. The town has changed a lot since the early days as a major industrial hub, but the dairy industry has remained. Originally called Duncanville, the village of Russell was settled in 1852 by the Duncans, a family of cabinet makers.
William Duncan began the industrialization by opening an oatmeal mill on Mill Street, across from what is now the Russell House. Other industry soon followed; saw mills, brick plants, cheese factories and of course, dairy farms. The town's industry became even more viable when land was purchased from residents and farmers to build the New York Central Railroad.
On July 29, 1898, the first train arrived in Russell. Along with passengers, the trains carried merchandise and materials manufactured in Russell to other towns and brought livestock and equipment to the farmers. The railroad is also responsible for saving the town from near destruction.
On June 6, 1915, around 9 a.m, a fire broke out in Murray's Tin Shop, according to Wendell Stanley's book From Swamp and Shanty. "It wasn't long until a good chunk of the town was on fire," says Henry Staal, president of the Russell Historical Society.
Town council had approved the purchase of fire-fighting equipment two weeks earlier but it had not arrived yet. Hundreds of residents quickly formed a bucket brigade but they were unable to control the fire. Within an hour, calls for help were sent out to Metcalfe and Ottawa. Ottawa responded by loading a steam pump and a fire-fighting crew onto a flat bed car and rushed it to Russell by train.
"They were pushing the train hard, breaking some speed limits," says Staal. Within three and a half hours of the pump and crew's arrival, the fire was under control. In all, 25 buildings were destroyed by the fire.
When told, this story often includes a rumour that the engineer who drove the train was either fired or reprimanded for recklessness due to the speed he ran the train, though no one living in the town now knows for sure.
At this time, dairy farming had already become big business in Russell.
The farmers had such high yields of milk they didn't know what to do with it and without modern cooling systems, the milk had to be disposed of immediately.
Wilmer Hamilton, an 84-year-old former dairy farmer sits in his spacious trailer which he uses to travel to warmer climates in the winter now that he's retired.
Wearing a worn jean jacket and a green baseball cap, he reflects on the old days of dairy farming in Russell. "You couldn't cool it with coolers," says Hamilton. "It had to de delivered every day." To deal with this situation, cheese factories began popping up all over the town to process all the milk that was being produced.
Eventually, there was a total of 25 cheese factories in the Russell area. "There was a cheese factory on every corner," says Hamilton. However in 1919, the Canadian Milk Products plant was built. Specializing in powdered milk, they began offering local farmers more money for their milk than the cheese factories.
As a result, many of the factories had to shut down because there was no longer enough milk available for them to continue operations.
"There used to be (a cheese factory) at the corner of Hamilton (Road) and Route 100," says Hamilton. "Nothing there now but a pile of bush. I guess everything has its time."
Ironically, the Canadian Milk Products plant ended up meeting the same fate as the cheese factories it had run out of business. The Nestlé plant in nearby Chesterville began buying milk from Russell and there wasn't enough to support two large plants, according to Betty Kidd, a member of the Russell Historical Society.
The plant was shut down in 1932 and slowly, the town itself began to change.
In earlier days, the roads had no gravel on them and nothing was paved. As a result, too much water would turn the roads to mud and cars would regularly sink right into them.
"The roads were the worst," says Hamilton. "The trees along the side of the road were like a snow fence and the snow stopped on the road. "We'd put the car away in November and go everywhere with the horses until May," he said. "Of course, that's country living."
As roads were improving, the automobile was becoming more popular and after the construction of Highway 31 just outside Metcalfe in 1937, fewer people were using the trains for transportation. On Feb. 15, 1957, the last train went down the New York Central Railroad. The tracks were removed a short time later.
Today, all that remains of the railroad in Russell is a paved bicycle path.
However, this was not the last big change coming up for Russell: a new highway being constructed changed the face of the town forever.
Boundary Road used to be a dead end, according to Staal, but when the 417 Queensway was constructed in 1971, an off-ramp was added on Boundary. "After the 417 came in, this village started to grow," says Al Clarke, a real-estate broker in Russell.
"It was evolution," says Kidd.
In 1972, the town still had a population of just over 600, but it was becoming more suburban. As land to build on in Ottawa was becoming more scarce and roads and municipal services in Russell were improving, folks working in the city began to buy houses in Russell and commuted to work. This is when Russell was labelled a bedroom community.
The town kept growing until the population hit more than 3,000, but milk remained big business.
"Despite the urbanization, we haven't lost our agricultural heritage," says Van Dusen. "(We) still have a very healthy, very vibrant dairy industry."
Along the gravel path that makes up Hamilton Road is the farm the road was named after.
A long driveway leads to a quaint house surrounded by barns and field. Despite the warm weather, there's still a small pile of snow – the remains of a snow mound piled up with a tractor for the kids on the farm to toboggan down. Wilmer Hamilton used to farm here, as did his father and his grandfather. Now, his son Robert is in charge. The town's dairy farming history is kept alive on this farm.
Robert has a brownish vice from the Canadian Milk Products plant, which gets used every day.
Sitting on his back porch wearing aviator glasses and sipping ginger ale, he talks about dairy farming and the changes he's seen the town go through.
When Robert was in elementary school, he used to ride his bike through the town during lunch hour and count the population. "I'd know that two people lived in that house," he says pointing, "and one person lived in that house.
"I'd count the population in an hour."
He explains that one of the current issues facing farmers in the area is difficulty expanding farm operations. "It's getting hard to purchase more land, there's just too darn many houses around," he says. "Now we have to farm behind the houses."
Michael Bols, president of the Russell Agricultural Society and fellow dairy farmer, agrees that expansion is one of the biggest problems. With so many residential areas, there's less land available.
"That's the only drawback with being so close to Ottawa," says Bols.
According to Al Clarke, property values have more than doubled in Russell since the '80s. Bols said that in order to properly expand his farm, he'd have to move somewhere less developed like Vankleek Hill.
However, some changes have been beneficial. A quota system introduced in the mid-'60s prevents farmers from overproducing milk, as had happened in the early days. The quota system, called supply management, dictates how much milk must be delivered on a given day, nothing over or under and the Dairy Farmers of Ontario deal with transporting and selling it.
"The system does work," says Henry Staal, a former dairy farmer himself, "(Even if) it is kind of contrary to free trade."
Besides farmers still toiling away on their farms to this day, Russell's agricultural heritage is preserved by an annual fair put on by the Russell Agricultural Society. The fairground is made up of rides, concerts, a bingo tent and of course, livestock displays. Michael Bols says that with the town becoming more suburban, the fair is more important than ever.
"When I was school, everybody in my class was from a farm or was a generation away," says Bols. "(Today) kids have never touched a cow or milked a cow."
The fair runs an education day on Friday during the week of the fair, where elementary schools classes receive free admission and get to learn about that year's theme.
"We have about 1,000 kids here on Friday," says Bols. "That is still our biggest point, education about agriculture."
He says he hopes the fair can help continue to bring awareness to the town's agricultural roots. "Every generation gets further away from the farm," he says.
"The trouble with that is, there's people that leave Russell when the fair is on."
Stall, standing with a display of antique farm equipment on the fairgrounds, agrees with the importance of the fair. "Most towns like Russell, it was agriculture that kept them going," he says. "I guess now we're trying to preserve history and educate people on the importance of agriculture, past and present."
Although Russell has experienced a lot of growth and many of residents are more removed from the farm, the town has still maintained its small town charm. Most people know their neighbours and the main street isn't cluttered with big-box stores like in other smaller communities that experienced heavy growth.
"It's still a friendly town," says Bols.
"They've kept it quite residential," says Staal. "It is still quite a nice town, ya know."
Aside from the presence of the dairy industry, there's something else that hasn't changed in Russell: the sense of community. Whether people are in line passing buckets of water back and forth to try to control a fire or just helping out a neighbour in need, the people of Russell do come together when it really counts.
Last November, Robert Hamilton lost most of his hand in a farming accident. After being laid up in the hospital for a while, he returned to his farm to find his neighbours there, plowing the fields and looking after his property. "I wouldn't have a farm anymore if it wasn't for my neighbours," says Hamilton.
"Living in a small community, you can't appreciate your neighbours enough."

He made the comment while attending the sixth anniversary of leading English daily Dhaka Tribune
Information Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud has said the Awami League government will always welcome constructive criticism, as it leads one to follow the right path.
"The country's media is playing a vital role by doing constructive criticism . . . the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has always welcomed constructive criticism," he said at a function held at a hotel in Dhaka on Friday.
The minister was attending the sixth anniversary of Dhaka Tribune, one of the leading and fastest growing English dailies in Bangladesh, when he made the comments.
Dr Hasan, also the publicity and publication secretary of Awami League, said Bangladesh has undergone a remarkable change in different fields, under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, in the last 10 years.
"Bangladesh is not a least developed country anymore. Now the country is a lower middle income country," he said.
He urged everyone to work together to implement "Vision 2021" and "Vision 2041", which was put forward by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
He called for everyone to come forward to build a developed nation, which would materialize Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's dreams of establishing a "Sonar Bangla" (A golden Bangladesh).
Dr Hasan expressed his hopes that Dhaka Tribune would continue to be at the centre stage of journalism in the future.
Dhaka Tribune Publisher, Kazi Anis Ahmed, board member Kazi Inam Ahmed and Editor Zafar Sobhan were also present on the occasion.
Kazi Anis credited Dhaka Tribune's journalists and employees with the contributions to the daily's remarkable journey it has been making in the field of journalism.
Later, Dr Hasan along with the Dhaka Tribune's editor and publisher handed over the "Dhaka Tribune Special Recognition Award" to 10 best employees in recognition of their excellence and devotion to their respective jobs.
Politicians, academics, corporate personalities, foreign dignitaries, journalists, showbiz personalities, and development workers attended the program, among others.
OP-ED: Out of the White House, not the news
OP-ED: The media must show common sense
Study: Media unknowingly propagates militancy
Info minister: Artists did fabulous job of PM Hasina
Hasan: Insult of Bangabandhu will not be tolerated
Hasan: Media's role key to resist fundamental forces

Фёдор Проко́фьевич Рыба́лкин (1882, , , Воронежская губерния — не ранее ноября 1926) — юродивый, основатель секты фёдоровцев.

Биография
Родился в 1882 году в слободе Новый Лиман Богучарского уезда Воронежской губернии в крестьянской семье. Служил в царской армии, участник Первой мировой войны. Вернувшись в 1918 году с войны в своё село Новый Лиман, крестьянин Федор Рыбалкин стал весь заработок отдавать неимущим, перестал спать с женой, и вскоре вышел на открытую проповедь, босой и без головного убора. В 1920-х годах ездил по сёлам, выступая с эсхатологическими по содержанию проповедями и призывами к покаянию.

В 1922 году Фёдор начал проповедовать, возвещая о пришествии Антихриста, снятия благодати с Церкви и скором Конце Света. На фоне начинающейся коллективизации, антицерковных репрессий и обновленчества проповедь Рыбалкина снискала широкую популярность среди местного крестьянства.

Вскоре вокруг него образовалась секта верных последователей. Фёдоровцы носили рубахи и шерстяные балахоны, расшитые крестами, обвязывались связками лука, символизировавшего горечь земной жизни. В 1922—1926 годах к Фёдору приходила масса паломников из Воронежской губернии и с Дона. Для них фёдоровцы устраивали массовые трапезы (в частности, с поеданием лука). Молились фёдоровцы сначала в ново-лиманской церкви, а затем в специальном молельном доме. По оценкам властей, последователями Фёдора считали себя несколько тысяч человек.

Советская власть усмотрела во взглядах и действиях Фёдора Рыбалкина и его последователей признаки «контрреволюционной кулацкой агитации». Советская пресса утверждала, что Фёдор был сумасшедшим (сошёл с ума на фронте во время Первой мировой войны или вследствие сифилиса, которым заразился там же).

В 1926 году он и группа его ближайших сподвижников были арестованы ОГПУ и осуждены за контрреволюционную деятельность. 5 ноября 1926 года Рыбалкин был приговорён к помещению в психиатрическую лечебницу для принудительного лечения. Направлен в психиатрическую больницу в посёлке Орловка .

Затем он был освобожден, но в 1929 году был вновь арестован и приговорен к 10 годам заключения. Погиб в Соловецком лагере.

Рыбалкин как Христос

Фёдоровцы верят, что Иисус Христос приходил на землю второй раз в образе «праведного старца Фёдора». По фёдоровскому преданию, он был отправлен на Соловки, где вознёсся на небо. После ареста Федора среди его последователей возникла идея, что он на самом деле был не Фёдором Рыбалкиным, а Христом, явившимся в его плоти, чтобы возвестить о конце Света. Настоящий же Фёдор Рыбалкин погиб на Первой мировой.

Amid reports of departments reducing the number of IT apprenticeships it is taking on, the Department of Finance has said that the Australian government IT graduate program has not been affected by a public sector hiring freeze.
The Department of Finance has said that all graduates who were offered a position in the Australian government IT graduate program have been able to take up those positions, despite a government-wide freeze on almost all new external hiring, and reports that the number of IT apprenticeships has been slashed.
In November, the Commonwealth government implemented a hiring freeze for public sector jobs, with external advertisements put out for only "critical vacancies" and specialist roles. The aim is to reduce the size of the public sector by approximately 12,000 through natural attrition.
The Canberra Times reported earlier this week that eight of 40 year 12 graduates who had applied for the Australian Government Information Management Office were told that they were they were no longer able to participate in the program due to the public sector hiring freeze.
According to the report, the Australian Federal Police has withdrawn from the program completely.
Under the IT apprenticeships program, year 12 graduates who are picked for the apprenticeship are employed at APS level in a government department and work four days per week, with the remaining one day devoted to completing a TAFE course in IT, networking, programming, software development, or systems analysis and design.
The Department of Finance had not confirmed the impact of the hiring freeze on the apprenticeship at the time of writing, but the Australian Government Information Management Office's other program for university graduates was not affected by the freeze, the department confirmed.
"All participants in the Australian Government ICT entry-level programs offered a position in the 2014 round have taken up that position," a spokesperson for the department said.
"Six prospective participants have not yet been offered a position. Each agency will consider placements subject to their own recruitment processes."
A total of 24 graduates have been placed with agencies in the 2014 graduate program in Geoscience Australia, the Department of Veterans' Affairs, the Department of Social Services, the Department of Finance, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Department of Defence, the Department of Health, CrimTrac, ComSuper, and IP Australia.
The Australian Government Information Management Office this week also lost its chief information officer Glenn Archer , who retired from the public service on Monday.

Coffee and a Concept – 1961 Ford Gyron
Posted by Aaron Turpen October 6, 2013
The Los Angeles Auto Show sneak peak 2014
In 1961, at the Detroit Motor Show, Ford introduced a concept that was little more than a scale model, but that instantly became a smash hit in magazines and as a showpiece for the company. The Ford Gyron was more than just another futuristic concept, it was one that predicted many things coming to automotive and was so out-of-the-box that it demanded notice.
The Gyron was a wild concept that could only come from two inspirations: the science fiction-wild 1950s and the mind of an engineer whose career included building flying saucers for the military. The Ford Gyron was a combination of the design prowess of Syd Mead at Ford and former U.S. Air Force mad scientist Alex Tremulis, who each brought their half of that two-part inspiration that made the Gyron what it was.
The Design of the Ford Gyron
If you know Syd Mead, you know that he's been the backbone of a lot of sci-fi cult classics and the father of the term "I've called science fiction 'reality ahead of schedule'." He is one of the most influential people on modern science fiction visuals and so it's no coincidence that his hand is behind one of the most science fiction-to-reality cars in automotive history. If you look closely at the Ford Gyron, you might see hints of Tron.
Working with Mead was another mad scientist type named Alex Tremulis, whose career spanned basically every automotive company in the United States, from Cord to GM to Duesenberg and, of course, Ford. He's the guy who gave the Tucker it's third headlight, instantly becoming a legend. Before all that, in 1941, he joined the U.S. Army Air Corps (which became the Air Force) where he was stationed at Wright Field (now Wright-Patterson AFB) and was the primary designer behind the Dyna-Soar, one of the first actual studies of space vehicles, and conceptualized extraterrestrial life forms and their transportation were they to come to earth. During this time, he worked with ideas conceived by Louis Brennan, whose gyroscopic theories would eventually change the world. Or at least make Segway scooters possible. Suddenly Area 51 sounds a little less nuts.
It was that combination that created the Ford Gyron.
The Gyron is basically a motorcycle with a sleek car's body. Today, of course, this is not exactly new. Except the Gyron was on two wheels, like a motorcycle, not three, like other motorcycle-cum-car concepts. It was balanced not by the driver and rider, which the concept also sort of blurred, but by gyroscopes.
The theory was simple: when in motion, the car stayed upright thanks to those gyroscopes. When stopped, little landing gear struts dropped down to put tiny wheels on the road to hold its balance. In reality, it just looked really cool and didn't really do any of those things since it didn't have an engine, nor did it have functioning gyroscopes.
What it did have was a lot of what today's publicists like to call "wow factor."
The car was more than just futuristic, it was ultra-futuristic, even to the point of being uber-future. It went beyond Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon and straight into Star Trek – before Spok was even conceived.
The concept included space-age, jet-like design features that gave it the impression that it was gliding rather than driving. The two-seat cockpit was underneath a dome of glass that functioned as windscreen, side windows, roof, and door. Just standing still on show in Detroit, the car gave the impression it was floating and could putter off with a Jetson's-like pbbbbtttthhh at any time.
Future-looking Technology
All that futuristic styling from Mead housed some pretty innovative ideas for 1961. Some of them were not exactly ground-breaking, though they weren't yet common. This included a radio telephone (every futuristic car had to have one of these), fly-by-wire steering, a television-style console display, and a center console that housed the driving controls so that the car could be driven from either seat. Good luck filling out that ticket, officer.
That driving configuration is one of the more compelling things about the Ford Gyron. It was a small dial, just about the right size to fit in your hand as a grip, that controlled direction by being turned and speed (or braking) by being pushed forward or back. Buttons ahead of it gave control over other things in the car as well, including a number pad for dialing out on the radio phone.
Today, fly-by-wire steering is nothing new, though we usually use a steering wheel to do it. Radio phones are now cell phones and everyone has one, even little kids that can't even ride a bicycle. The TV console is now an LCD readout for the instrument cluster, backup camera, infotainment, and more – an idea the Tesla Model S takes to the extreme with its gigantic iMax-like center console.
Other things envisioned, though not functioning, in the Gyron included satellite navigation and automated highway systems for commuters.
The Gyron spawned toys, scaled model kits, and even made appearances in Hollywood. Although the idea of the Gyron and perhaps the retro-modern look of it are easy to poke fun at, the concept is compelling and keeps you turning back to look at it again. So while some might think it's a little campy, the Ford Gyron is always going to be interesting. Interesting enough that a copy of the original sold at auction for $40,000 recently.
Where Is It Now?
The Gyron was never meant for production and was a showcase prototype only. Ford did toy with the idea of gyroscopes in vehicles a little and this concept was a key part of that conceptualization. Records are iffy, but the original Gyron (in white) was copied at least once into a rolling chassis for auto show use, with the original appearing at the Detroit and New York shows while the red copy made several automotive events in 1961 and '62. The original was parked in the Ford Rotunda in Dearborn, Michigan and subsequently destroyed in the fire there in 1962.
The copy, however, was eventually purchased by Joe Oros, chief designer behind the original Ford Mustang, who kept it in his collection until last year. It went to auction at the Wright Auction House with an estimated take of $10,000-$15,000 and ended up fetching $40,000. The new owner prefers to remain anonymous.

Wow, indeed! I loved those crazy concepts. Today's seem almost mild compared to the enthusiastic 50s and 60s.
Aaron Turpen says:
Ya. Up until about 1965 or so, or for about three decades from the 1930s, concepts were wild and prolific.

This is the effect, of giving a WiFi hotspot (near a window at traffic lights) two additional SSID; by coincidence the same used by the two biggest local ISPs. You can clearly see when I made the change.


How can I relate to my partner who does not take E?
I am an E user and my partner is totally agianst it (we have 3 kids together) I feel that if she cannot share what I like and feel it is impossible for us to have a real relationship togheter.....or is it?
In your book, I read a lot of stories on how E has solidified a relationship, or indeed broken up some and I can see the piont when both parties are E heads. But when only one partner hes had E experience and the other is in permanent denial where does one go for help?
I'll welcome any advice you can give me on how/if to bridge the gap between a user and a non user, there must be others like me.... where are they?
My other half has quite a serious antagonism to LSD, having had several bad experiences on it in his younger days, and therefore objects to my use. The same cycle happened with ecstasy - first the enjoyment, the enthusiasm, the touching of paradise, followed sharply by the fall into a paranoid oblivion. Unfortunately with both drugs he decided that he would do it again, and yet again, and each subsequent experience induced ever increasing levels of paranoia and eventually depression. I suspect he worries about my use, and for the past 18 months or so I've had to battle it out with him on a regular basis - this problem of my experimentation with drugs.
This calls to mind the question of using drugs at all. I know that I do it because I have a need for the kind of knowledge that it can provide, or at least hint towards, and in the absence of such knowledge I feel a void; I believe that the knowledge to be had in the world is mine to have, as far as is possible for someone to have. I cannot imagine not wanting to know, not having or wanting to have deeply spiritual or profound cerebral experiences. I cannot imagine a world which exists within the confines of the four dimensions that we know, acknowledge and accept, for I have seen - glimpsed - the others. I believe that we can live in peace, for the understanding of those antagonistic towards drug use is part and parcel of the understanding of the inner complexities of the human mind, which is inherently fraught with contradictions.
I believe that unless the one party in a relationship is truly fulfilled the other cannot also be truly fulfilled - unless I can see me, and know me, the other cannot. If love exists at the core of the relationship then it can, will and must allow for the complete and utter fulfilment and construction of both parties within that relationship. Naturally the fears of the non-users must not be trivialised, because these fears are very real indeed - to a non user every pill, every tab, every dabble is a dance with death, a step beyond life, and to a non user the life is bounded only by death. The user knows this not to be the case, that it is not so much a step beyond as a step between. Sharing the travels between these coexisting worlds with a loved one is an experience which compares with no other. Happily I think my other half may eventually come round.

This year, it did create a record by being the only independent software application that helps to nurture businesses. That is the background of SAP. From being a company that designs software programs, today SAP is a complete course available for students.
What is a SAP course? A SAP course is a study program that helps you to gain qualifications that are required for operating any SAP product.

Nevertheless, it must be said, that SAP as they are one of the highest earning companies in the world today, a course enabling one to run one of their products will always come in handy in the end.

'The Bachelor' Star Chris Soules Is Not the Nice Guy ABC Sold Us
Billed as the charming small town fella—and antidote to the gross Juan Pablo—Soules, who stands accused of leaving the scene of an accident that left a man dead, is anything but.

On Monday night, former Bachelor star Chris Soules was arrested and charged with leaving the scene of a fatal car crash, which killed 66-year-old Kenneth Mosher. Appearing at a Buchanan County, Iowa court, in a neon yellow jumpsuit and orange jail-issued slippers, Soules stroked his stubble and rubbed his hands nervously as a judge set a preliminary hearing for May 2 and informed him the felony charge comes with up to five years in prison.
According to the Buchanan County crash report, Soules was driving a pickup truck about 15 miles south of his farm when he rear-ended Mosher's John Deere tractor around 8 p.m. on Monday. Speaking before the court, the county attorney said Soules "took off" from the scene before officers arrived and holed up in his home, refusing to come out for hours after officers arrived to question him. "At no point did Mr. Soules come out of the home or cooperate with law enforcement," the county attorney said in court, asking for a $10,000 bond, which the judge granted.
Court documents revealed alcoholic beverages or containers were left at the scene, according to local news reports. Soules has not been charged with driving under the influence, but a press release from the Buchanan County Sheriff said the investigation was ongoing and "further charges may be pending." A representative for Soules has not returned a request for comment.
For fans of Bachelor Nation, the news of Soules' arrest was a shock. After all, Soules was supposed to be our Nice Guy.
Offered up by ABC in 2014 as the antidote to the franchise's blatant misogynist Juan Pablo Galavis, Soules quickly moved from Andi Dorfman's second runner-up (rejecting his small town as much as him) to star of his own season, and a very thirsty Bachelor Nation breathed a sigh of sweet relief.
Network producers packaged the 32-year-old soybean and corn farmer as the gee-golly small town romantic hero who could drive a tractor before he could drive a car and was "known for his million-dollar smile and chivalrous ways." They promised Season 19 would be a sort of family values tour, and they delivered, making the women jump though wholesome hoops like camping outings and tractor races to compete for Soules's Farmville version of true love: "You're planting a seed and then that relationship begins to grow," he told one of the ladytestants.
In hindsight, maybe we shouldn't be so surprised. A publicly available criminal record betrayed a small town troublemaker behind his crooked smile—and early on revealed that Soules, the only son and future heir to a multi-million dollar farming operation, was more Footloose's Chuck Cranston than Ren McCormack.
Iowa court records show Soules has racked up a lengthy rap sheet of traffic violations including reckless driving and speeding. In 2001, Soules, then 19, was found guilty of driving with an open container, and twice that year with possession of alcohol by a minor. In 2002, he was arrested and found guilty of disturbing the peace by fighting in public, "unlawful use of license," and failing to stop at a stop sign, for which he paid fines. Then in 2005, Soules was arrested for operating a vehicle while under the influence after he passed out behind the wheel of his car. For that, he was sentenced to a 60-day suspended jail sentence, a year probation, and a $500 fine.
But the crimes of Soules's youth didn't deter Bachelor producers, who picked Soules over race car driver and Emily Maynard's runner-up, Arie Luyendyk Jr., and they mattered even less to fans, who needed a wholesome hero to believe in after Galavis's disaster of a season.
Even though the relationship with his winner Whitney Bischoff lasted only six months, the short-lived engagement is usual for the series, and Soules still did the compulsory Dancing with the Stars victory lap and appeared on other shows, including the Food Network's Worst Cooks in America. Since his Bachelor rein, Soules has met Donald Trump and become—in his words—an "ambassador for agriculture," while no doubt capitalizing on his reality show fame in his day job as a land broker.
"I had just finished being on The Bachelor, and before I knew it, we were introduced," Soules wrote in the trade publication, The Land Report in 2016. "Donald asked me a few questions about my background, and when he gathered that I had a lot of experience in ag investing, he turned to [my current boss] and said, 'You should hire this guy.'"
His relationship may have failed, but Soules was still "the good guy" and seemed to have as long of a career as he wanted ahead of him, telling Entertainment Tonight last month that he had been asked by ABC to appear on The Bachelor's sexier spinoff, Bachelor in Paradise.
"I've already been asked, and I don't know what to do," Soules said. "I've gotten chubby. That's my main concern."
It seems he'll be unlikely to appear now. If he does post bond, Soules will be monitored by the court and must turn in his passport as a condition of his release.


Although property prices have been steadily falling across most Australian cities, the latest figures from CoreLogic show home values in several of our nation's smaller capitals are holding their own.
The shift in investor demand has occurred as a result of tighter credit lending. However this change is mostly being felt in the larger property markets of Sydney and Melbourne.
We have looked at the results in some of the nation's smaller capital cities and the areas continuing to show growth, which could provide the next opportunity for buyers to invest.
Hobart was the only state capital where prices rose last month and values are up 7.2 per cent in the past year. The Tasmanian capital city is benefiting from mainlanders cashing out and moving to the island state for a more relaxed lifestyle and investors chasing capital growth in a tight market. Plus, the median house price is an affordable $457,186.
Brisbane's eastern suburbs have witnessed a price rise of 16 per cent over the last three years. According to CoreLogic growth areas include Pallara, Nudgee and Highland Hill. These areas recorded a price growth of 35.8 per cent 7.7 per cent and 7.6 per cent over the past year. For Nudgee and Highland Hill this same growth percentage has also been reflected annually over the decade. Highland Hill has a relatively affordable median house price of $650,000.
Moreton Bay is another value proposition Brisbane suburb, with new infrastructure set to be built, as well as being declared a priority development area by the state government. As a result, the area has become one of the highest-growing shires across Australia.
Adelaide is currently one of the most affordable, relaxing and liveable cities in Australia. The rental market strongly favours landlords with a tight vacancy rate of 1.2 per cent. As a result, rents in the region are rising rapidly, increasing by 2.6 per cent to $387 per week for Adelaide houses and 3.4 per cent to$299 per week for Adelaide units over the past year.
According to recent SQM Research, Adelaide rents are predicted to continue to rise a further 3-5 per cent in 2019.
Canberra was the only capital city where asking prices increased for both houses (at 3.4 per cent) and apartments (at 7.9 per cent) during 2018.
According to CoreLogic, Canberra's employment growth remains robust and unemployment is the lowest of any capital city. This is also being reflected where household incomes, the ratio of dwelling price to income in Canberra is unchanged at a healthy 5.0 per cent.
The Perth property market has shown significant signs of recovery over the last twelve months, with vacancy rates falling below 3 per cent. Rental values also increased and prices are expected to rise significantly in 2019 across the whole of Perth by at least 10 per cent, making Perth property more attractive to investors.
entry-level investors is the $350,000-$480,000 price point where properties in this range are providing close to 5 per cent yield.
Darwin has recorded the largest decline in dwelling prices, according to February CoreLogic data. As a result, it is the only capital city where the median rent for a three-bedroom house has declined.
The rental market is performing no better, with data highlighting that along with Sydney, both cities had the weakest rental conditions among all other capital cities. Landlords collected 5.1 per cent less rent in November 2018 than they did in November 2017.
As such, CoreLogic are predicting more of the same conditions throughout 2019.

.....rstanding the historical horrors of Polish ghettoes in Vladek's biographical narrative to Art, the use of film noir techniques provide a historical way in which the reader can identify with the World War II era. Film noir was a popular style during the 1940s, which provides a backdrop to the social contrasts that are made in the flashbacks between Vladek's peaceful life as a new Yorker and of the dark days of survival under the Nazis. These are important features to Art Spiegelman's graphic novel style, illustrating the cinematic affections of the Holocaust as a social and historically important within modern day society.

This year, my husband Bill and I celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary, as did four of my roommates from my senior year at Marquette University. The five of us and our husbands, along with two other Marquette couples and a total of 14 children, gathered in the middle of the Marquette campus at the St. Joan of Arc Chapel for a Mass and renewal of vows.
As Marquette students, we had often attended 10 p.m. daily Mass together at the chapel. A small stone building, the chapel was built in France in the 1400s and brought to Marquette stone by stone. St. Joan of Arc has a capacity of 50 or 60, depending on how close together you sit on the wooden benches. If you're a student rushing to Mass a few minutes late from a long night studying at the library, you'll sit on the stone floor.
Now, thirteen years out of college, we were back in the tiny chapel. And the theme seemed to be sippy cups.

Stump grinding is the next to last step in the process of tree removal. It is the use of a machine that has carbide teeth that are attached to a wheel that spins at 7500 RPM that grinds the wood of the stump into a pile of mulch…that we can take away, or leave and spread. Customer's choice.
We grind stumps at the time of removal, or can be called in to grind down preexisting stumps. We use a large stump grinder, and have access at a smaller one to get into smaller places if necessary.
Q: Why grind the stump?
Old stumps can be generally ugly. They decay, and can end up housing rodents and bees, and insects of all kinds, especially termites. If a stump is ground down with our stump grinder, it is easier to plant or build something else in its place. We can apply seed, so the "hole" in the lawn is replaced by grass.
