Excerpt: The 2007 Bangladesh cartoon controversy began after an editorial cartoon was published in the 431st edition of Alpin (Bengali : ), a featured supplement of the Bangladeshi newspaper Prothom Alo , on 17 September 2007. The cartoon featured a conversation between an elderly man and a boy culminating in the boy making a joke using the name of the Islamic prophet Muhammad . Bangladeshi Muslim organisations, who objected to the cartoon, responded by holding public protests which led to violence and street clashes, even though such demonstrations have been banned by the interim caretaker government . Arifur Rahman, the author of the cartoon, was arrested and detained while the publishers have publicly apologised. Controversy On 17 September 2007, a cartoon titled Naam (Name) was published in the 431st edition of Alpin . The cartoon, by 20-year-old cartoonist Arifur Rahman, featured a conversation between an elderly man and a boy and the controversy is regarding the text rather than the pictures as had been the case in previous such incidents.

Excerpt: Astronomische Nachrichten Astronomische Nachrichten ( Astronomical Notes ), one of the first international journals in the field of astronomy , was founded in 1821 by the German astronomer Heinrich Christian Schumacher . It claims to be the oldest astronomical journal in the world that is still being published. The publication today specializes in articles on solar physics , extragalactic astronomy , cosmology , geophysics , and instrumentation for these fields. Early history The founding editor Heinrich Christian Schumacher (1780-1850) The journal was founded in 1821 by Heinrich Christian Schumacher , under the patronage of Christian VIII of Denmark , and quickly became the world's leading professional publication for the field of astronomy, succeeding where others had failed or not achieved the same renown. Schumacher edited the journal at the observatory in Altona , then part of Denmark , later part of Prussia, and today part of the German city of Hamburg . Schumacher edited the first 31 issues of the journal, from its founding in 1821 until his death in 1850. These early issues ran to hundreds of pages, and consisted mostly of letters sent by astronomers to Schumacher, reporting their observations. The journal proved to be a great success, and over the years Schumacher received thousands of letters from hundreds of contributors. The letters were published in the language in which they were submitted, often German, but also English, Italian and other languages. The journal's renown was acknowledged by the British astronomer John Herschel (then secretary to the Royal Astronomical Society ) in a letter to the Danish K...
