One of the many Melbourne bus routes that have been without Sunday service is the 536 between Glenroy and Gowrie. Linking the Craigieburn and Upfield lines it provides the only public transport for a large section of northern Glenroy that was once known as Gowrie Park. The area has social and public housing with...
A Caesar cipher is a letter for letter exchange from a clear text to a encrypted text by shifting a set distance in the alphabet. Thus, if your set distance is 2, the letter A becomes C, the letter X becomes Z. To encrypt the last letters of the alphabet, you wrap around to the beginning, so Y becomes A and Z...
