PaySimple Reviews Recently Reviewed!
My PaySimple (PS) Experience
Likely Extremely
Pros: Easy to learn and understand; easily accessible
Cons: There are areas that I believe need some adjusting. What page the system bounces you back to once you have completed something; on creating invoices the cursor always jumps back to invoice # after each item entered; and other minor things like that.
Overall: Our company tried two other payment systems before finding PaySimple(PS). We are very pleased with the system and the staff we have been in contact with. There have been things over the past 2-3 yrs that we would like to see changed or things that didn't meet our needs. At those times the staff have stepped in to write down our needs / suggestions and try their best to accommodate our needs. There have been many helpful changes to PS over the past 2-3 yrs that have made the system better, more efficient, and more user friendly.
The support staff has been a pleasure to work with! She is patient, caring, sincere, and knowledgeable. She goes above and beyond to meet our needs.
We are pleased with PS and would recommend PS to other companies.
PaySimple is just that-Simple!
Likely Extremely
Pros: It is so simple to use and train people on. The customer service is out of this world. I needed help with a customer payment issue that was really out of their scope of service, but they went out of their way to help me get some answers!
They are also one of the only companies we have found to take electronic checks as well as credit cards. This helps us keep credit card fees down and some of our clients prefer that method of payment.
Cons: Their fees are on the higher end-but definitely worth it!
Customer Service, A+!
Likely Extremely
Pros: The ease of use and how many tools they have inside the program to help manage.
Cons: Personal Preference, I would like to streamline the dashboard. Taylor it to what our company uses all the time, not have a generalized set up.
Overall: I have always had amazing experiences with the customer service! Whether big or small I felt important with my issue. The applications are great and easy to use and learn. Our team would highly recommend PaySimple as the best tool for their needs!
Recommendations to other buyers: No advice to offer really, if you have any questions one of the awesome team member will help you sort it out!
I have used PaySimple for the last 3 yrs and have been satisfied. The customer service is outstandin
Pros: It is one place to do all your invoicing, receiving payments, customers can pay directly through PaySimple from our website. Also, when I have a suggestion I let them know and if at all possible, they make it happen.
Cons: The search engine has been lacking, but they have made great improvements in that area. There is a delay on the invoice page where the cursor jumps back up to the invoice number each time you click enter.
PaySimple is excellent software for taking payment and for setting up recurring payments
Likely Extremely
Pros: This program is a great fit for my small but growing business , the customers liked it and I loved it. I mostly used It to set up clients on auto-debit recurring payments. The fees were decent and customer support is Very Good
Cons: I received the exact services I was looking for. They promised certain things and delivered on those promises , Therefore I have no cons to list here.
Great features and affordability
Comments: When I started our little martial arts school, I knew what the industry expected and where things were heading. So, it was important to me to keep my costs low, without sacrificing functionality. I use PaySimple for everything from invoicing our after school programs to staying on top of automated billing each month. For $34.95/month it beats the hell out of the other big brands I've tried like First Data. Not only do I get more for less, but the customer support has been phenomenal each and every time I call.
Pros: Ease of use, functionality, ability to generate reports, notices when recurring billing customers have cards that are about to expire.
Cons: Too long of a checkout process for online sales. I need to pay for Shopify in order to make the online buying process easier on potential introductory and trial members.

Thank you Aaron for the review and feedback. We're happy to hear our customer service team has been so helpful and that our product is helping you manage your recurring billing and stay on top of payment notifications. As always, feel free to call us for any additional help: 800.466.0992.
Great Value, Great Product
Likely Extremely
Pros: Automatic charging, invoicing, calendar option, lower percentage, and electronic check.
Cons: At times it can be a little confusing how to do something specific, but there has always been a way, I just had to ask.
Overall: I went from Square to Paysimple because of their ability to hold customer payment info and for automatic recurrent payments. They have a lower charge per transaction and offer electronic check. This saves me about 8 hours a month and money per transaction. They also offer a calendar, but I have yet to make the switch to that at this time. Their customer service has been outstanding.
Recommendations to other buyers: Definitely recommend it for any small business for payments. People can pay their invoice online or keep their cc info on file and do it automatically with a few clicks.
Great credit card service for our school. Easy to implement and incorporate in to our website.
Likely Extremely
Pros: Easy of implementation and updating on website. Customers are happy with the ease of use and security. Transaction rate is wonderful for non-profit. Previous service was too expensive and took a couple of days to process payments. This is quicker and end of month statements are great.
Cons: Able to use on associated church website as well, but can't enter description into a memo line like on school website. Works, but have to have multiple items set us which is different than with the school software.
Overall: Easier for paying of school bills by parents. They love it and seem to pay in a more timely manner.
Efficient and bug free payment portal
Likely Extremely
Pros: Customer Service, Ease of Use, Monthly Reports, low transaction fees, and we havnt experienced any system bugs or outages. Very happy with this system.
Cons: In my humble opinion the only negative I see is that the monthly reports that get sent via snail mail have a slightly outdated look. If you dont mind that then this is the payment portal you've been looking for!
Overall: Payment Portal with recurring payment processing.
Likely Extremely
Pros: ALWAYS ON . RELIABLE REPORTING . ALL CUSTOMER INFO IN ONE PLACE
Cons: NO DISCOUNT FOR SWIPED TRANS VS MOTO. NO INCENTIVE
Overall: WE UPDATED OUR PHONE SYSTEM TO VOIP..NEEDED A CC SOLUTION THAT DIDN'T REQUIRE A DIAL TONE (TERMINALS)
PaySimple has made invoicing and credit card processing incredibly easy for my company!
Likely Extremely
Pros: I love how simple and user-friendly the software interface is to use; it's organized clearly and helps avoid a lot of human error mistakes when using it; plus it's become much easier for us to issue and track refunds when necessary and to issue invoices upon request.
Overall: It's helped my company tremendously in our efforts to become as paperless a company as possible!
Customer service is excellent, ease of use not so much
Likely Extremely
Pros: The software itself was okay, it had issues with check out more than I would like. However, Customer service was excellent, very attentive and not condescending at all--rare in today's world.
Cons: It was difficult to know where to go for what within the system and checkout got hung up often--not good.
Overall: Excellent customer service
Great Company
Likely Extremely
Pros: Easy to use
Cons: NA
Overall: I have been with PaySimple for several years now and referred several businesses to them as I am very happy with their service, software and Customer Service they offer.
Recommendations to other buyers: Not really. I am very pleased with it
Easy to learn and use
Likely Extremely
Pros: This program was perfect for our company. We processed all of our merchant payments through here, and there were several tools that were available that I have not used yet.
Cons: Searching for past transactions could be improved a little. But that would be my only note on something that could be improved.
Great Job!
Likely Extremely
Pros: Easy to use
Cons: None
Overall: Excellent service! I have been using PaySimple for several years and have never had any issues. My account manager and the customer care team are always quick to respond.
Great, but little expensive
Likely Extremely
Pros: It allows user to set up monthly/quarterly or annually auto-debits for recurring customers which most of business offering subscription uses.
Cons: Its expensive, the transaction charges are not competitive. In case you want negotiation over charges you need to do big transactions
Pay Simple has really helped keep our billing and receiving organized.
Likely Extremely
Pros: We love that our parents can set up automatic payments each month for tuition. They call it the set it and forget it method. The customer service is superb! They get back to you in a timely manner and were very patient with me as I learned the new system.
Cons: Instead of depositing the funds a day or two after every payment, it would be nice to save on fees by depositing the money on set days. For us 2 x a month would work. Instead I get multiple deposits throughout the month which causes me to have to input more data entry on our accounting software. It would also be great if they could somehow link to Gradelink so I didn't have to imput the payments into every single account manually.
Overall: It's beneficial for us because our parents can set up auto pay, therefore guaranteeing we receive tuition every month on time.
Keeps things running without me having to pay attention
Likely Extremely
Pros: I use the software to collect monthly payments. It's super nice not to have to think about it and not to have to chase payments down or remember to do anything, but it's also super easy to make any changes or one off discounts.
I also use it to send out invoices, and it totally saved me last month when I realized I hadn't been paid by a customer that was normally pretty regular with payments. Honestly, I might not have even noticed and would have totally missed out.
Cons: All the basic functionality is pretty user friendly. Sometimes to find a deeper feature you have to do a little digging but their customer service team is fantastic and you can chat with them if you need help.
Overall: PaySimple's great! Software is easy to use, service team is wonderful. I have a full time job but two side projects/gigs that I need to collect payments for, so this is perfect for me because it basically runs in the background so I get paid without really needing to do much.
Recommendations to other buyers: It seems like they're adding a ton of new functionality all the time, so keep an eye out for updates.

Thank you for your review of the PaySimple solution! So glad that it's working well for your real estate rental collection!
Great program
Likely Extremely
Pros: Ease of use, customer service.
Cons: Can't edit customers orders as much on the app.
Overall: Honestly the best possible platform I could've asked for. They have a customer service team that is the best I've ever experienced. They assigned me my own representative. He actually calls me occasionally letting me know about different up dates and different things he thinks I could add to the platform.
Recommendations to other buyers: It's great keep it up.
Easy automatic payments.
Likely Extremely
Pros: My mainly adopted feature for PaySimple is the automatic monthly payment option. it makes me easy to collect my monthly payment from my customer.
Cons: haven't found anything from last 2+ years. It is working smoothly and their customer services is above the level. they helped me to set this initially.
Overall: go for simple pay. you won't regret it.
Not an accounting system
Likely Extremely
Pros: Multiple people can access invoice status.
Cons: It is designed for billing individuals, not companies.
Overall: If you are expecting this to work like A/R in an accounting system, you'll be disappointed. It's primary focus is being an e-tail platform, so if you are an office that needs to send invoices that can be paid on-line, you'll run into some snags. And you are forced to set up a domain name even if you know you will never use it, which is just wrong.
Recommendations to other buyers: You should be able to change the name of the representative of a customer without having to create a whole new customer. I'm sick of clicking on 5 different "attention to" names looking for the one that has an unpaid invoice.
Great value!
Comments: We have been very pleased with PaySimple. It allows ease of payments for us. We are a Chiropractic office, and we have a Membership Practice. PaySimple is great for setting up recurring payments month-to-month. We receive quick responses when contacting customer service, and they quickly resolve any issues. I would highly recommend them for your payments. I am not sure why others are having such difficulty with their service.
Pros: Able to set up monthly auto-debits very easily since this is 99% of what our Chiropractic practice uses.
Cons: Each time you want to take a payment, you also have to have their address (set-up a "profile"). However, this doesn't take an incredibly long time either.

Our customer service team is committed to helping your business thrive, so don't hesitate to call us for any additional help: 800.466.0992.
Unmatched customer service
Likely Extremely
Pros: There customer service is great! I'm not too good at dealing with programs like this but they were there to train me.
Cons: I don't know how much of this is there fault but credit card processing seems to be expensive. I think it is mostly due to the card companies though.
Works great for my Personal Training Business
Likely Extremely
Pros: Very competitive fees and great for EFT's and credit card drafting. I like to be able to track payments, and see graphically how each month compares to each other.
Cons: Changing address or other profile issues. Lots of paper work and very "old school" with how it all works.
Overall: Can track all payments, cancel payments and even refund payments thought the site. Does everything I need it to do for my personal training business.
I wouldn't make the PaySimple mistake twice.
Comments: Seriously, DO NOT GET INVOLVED WITH PAYSIMPLE. Here is why, once you get involved with them and start processing credit cards-- it will work great for a year or two. But, then your business will change and you will want to use a different provider that will meet the needs of your company better... AND THAT is when PaySimple becomes a real pain. You see, because unlike other payment processors they will not release your customers credit card data to another payment processing firm. They say it is PCI compliance, if that were true then other payment gateways wouldn't be able to release data either. (which they can and do, because they are GOOD companies.) If they would charge be a $500 fee to release my data, so be it. I would HAPPILY pay, but they won't. Good service while it meets your needs, but once your needs change they are very unsympathetic.
Cons: Will not allow your business to grow and adjust. Annoying, beyond belief.
Vendor Response
by PaySimple on June 25, 2014
Thank you for your feedback ¿ we¿re sorry to hear about your current frustration. There are many levels of PCI Compliance that merchant providers can adhere to, and PaySimple¿s system was specifically built to provide the highest level of PCI Compliant storage of cardholder data. To meet these standards, our system encrypts individual credit card numbers when they are entered, and decryption only occurs at the credit card processor level -- a very critical piece to protecting against data breaches. We understand the reasoning for wanting to export full card data, and we¿re sorry this is not something we¿re able to offer to your business. Our Customer Experience team will follow up with you directly with some additional details.
Comments: Called to close my account on June 14' They continue to bill my account and I just now got them to close my account on September 3rd 2015. 14 mo later I called in June of 2014 to cancel any charges to my account because I simply never used their service. We are a fairly large company with many expenses every month and I just now, on September 3rd 2015 realized that they have continued to bill my account $39.95 a month up until today. Upon calling them today, they have admitted fault however their policy is that they can only refund up to 3 months. In other words I called to cancel, confirmed everything about my identity with mine/their company to validate myself. I think everything is OK and then they try sneaking a "survey" by you through email... hoping that you do not fill it out so that they can continue to charge your account and hope you do not notice. BOTTOM LINE-- STICK WITH A BETTER KNOWN COMPANY WHO STANDS BEHIND THEIR SERVICE, NOT A COMPANY WHO TRIES TO MAKE IT INCONVENIENT TO CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT JUST SO THEY CAN KEEP CHARGING IT.
Vendor Response
by PaySimple on September 04, 2015
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback, it will help us continue to improve our processes. We¿re sorry to lose you as a customer and to hear that our cancellation process has resulted in frustration. Based on what you¿ve described, it looks like our team is in contact with you, but we encourage you to call us (800) 466-0992 #2, if you have any questions regarding the resolution of your issue.
I get more than I expected. i have worked with Paysimple for 6 months.without complaint.
Likely Extremely
Pros: It is so intuitive. Smooth connection with my customers. Invoice has button to pay by credit card. Customers like the convenience. Tracking customers is a breeze.
Cons: nothing.
Add a feature. I can say that full integration with Quick books would allow integration with my sales tax reports and other master reports. But it is so smooth anyway that is not a real issue for me.
Overall: Allows my customers credit via their credit cards. This feature Increases sales for me. Offering the three major cards has some panache with clients.
Great resource!
Likely Extremely
Pros: I love how easy PaySimple is to use. It also eliminated me having to think about payments once they have been entered in and alerts me with an email if something needs my attention.
Cons: Sometimes I feel like there are to many steps to do one simple thing.
Overall: Great job PaySimple! Super Customer Service!
very well structured and simple to use and update for your client base
Comments: I really dont have any con's with using this software. it is very straightforward in every way. It does take some time to understand what you are doing as it relates to your business ( such as billing a or collecting a payment) This is mainly true when you are new to the customer billing part of doing business. I found that after some time going over the information from the webinars everything made sense. As for the staff they are wonderful. My account manager "Sue" was awesome in every way. always helped me if i ran into a snag... she is very knowledgeable .. Our business is very Blessed to have her

Great for recurring payments
Comments: Provides an easy update and capture of pci data for recurring payments. Our primary challenge is dealing with expiring and cancelled credit cards used on long-term contracts. PaySimple makes that much easier.
Pros: strong user interface.
Cons: nothing comes to mind.
Vendor Response

Thanks for the feedback! Glad our product helps you stay on top of your credit card payments. You can always reach us at 800.466.0992 if you need assistance.
Horrible Customer Service and a Paperwork Nightmare
Comments: PaySimple worked great for about two weeks. Then came requests for paperwork, and holds on deposits, then came the shut down with no notice. They decided my business model was incompatible with their risk factor assessment, and that the underwriters did not agree with my business model. There was no warning, just a shut down, and I am still not sure if I will get any of my customer data to continue pursuing payments.
Pros: Love the interface, it made everything look simple. I had a lot of customers and payments in the system at the time they terminated my service.
Cons: Terrible customer service. Unsure of mobile presence, they seem to have multiple apps for the same thing published. They also do not use their own card processing, but outsource it to a processor, who may or may not be compatible with your business industry. They didn't even try to tell me what was wrong when they terminated our contract.
Vendor Response
by PaySimple on June 02, 2015
Thanks for your review. You are right, our software integrates with different processors who have different allowances for risk. We might be able to set you up with a more liberal processor to keep using the system, give our team a call at 800.466.0992 option 2 to speak with a rep who can see if there is an alternative or high-risk processor available. Thanks!
Simplified Payment System We Love
Likely Extremely
Pros: Affordable, lower rates than other places, great customer service, easy to use and set up.
Overall: Pay Simple changed the way we do business. Its easy to use and our clients love it. We went from taking payments on the phone to an online payment system with credit/debit card and ACH payments. The ability we have to accept reoccurring payments also really helped and took our business to the next level.
Recommendations to other buyers: Dont wait, this product changed the way we do business.
Not too easy to use, but still worth the price and great customer support.
Likely Extremely
Pros: First, the credit card rate is very affordable; almost half of the regular POS softwares out there. Also, the customer support is beyond your expectation to help you if you are stuck.
Cons: It is little hard to use; and the application process was a little long than I anticipated. If this does not bother you, however, this software is definitely worth it!
Easy to Use Payment System
Likely Extremely
Pros: - Easy to use - Great support team helps with questions/integrations - Continuous improvements and sleek design - Great for setting up our recurring payments
Cons: Easiest to use for payment schedules for individuals and not companies and doesn't replace an accounting system if that's what you are hoping.
Simple payment procedure
Likely Extremely
Pros: Everything is very transparent and the client needs nothing to be afraid of. A very flexible system of payments, it can be integrated into any of your platforms. Convenient export of reports.
Cons: There are additional commissions that have not been announced anywhere. Very long payments to the main account.
Matched with client management software
Likely Extremely
Pros: They matched my rates with current payment processor and took care of all the back-end to transfer me to the new processor.
Cons: I haven't found a con yet. I've only been using the product for the past month.
Overall: Seamlessly matches with my client billing and management software, lowered my overall cost too.
Great Payment Processing Option
Comments: We are currently working on integrating this into one of our client's websites and it's a great tool. Not only does it have a great ecommerce platform, it also has a meetings scheduler that our client is using to allow her clients to schedule meetings with her right from her website. And once that meeting is over, she can automatically generate an invoice using the calendar function based on wha the meeting was about!

Cost is bit high compare to other competitive products if not am very satisfied
Easy Simple Payments
Comments: I can't say enough about this product. The dashboard is so easy to utilize, i'm never lost trying to get to the area that i'm looking for. Its easy to set up payments, customers and recurring payments so that my business can run easily. Customer service is the best, all representatives I've spoken with are ready and willing to help me as fast as possible with positive attitudes and pleasant people.

Excellent Service
Comments: So far, I've had nothing but a good experience with PaySimple. They have contacted me a few times to make sure my experience is good and to see if I need help with anything. And when I noticed my rate was a little high due to the use of mostly business credit cards, they lowered me to a more reasonable flat rate. They also have ACH, which most payment processors do not have.

Best Internet Processor
Likely Extremely
Pros: The accuracy and ease of use.
Cons: Inability to use full service (cant sent invoices) on my iPhone or iPad.
Overall: PaySimple was not my first pick as a processor of client payments, however, I wish it had been. Since leaving PayPal I have only had good results! The customer support is excellent and the ease of use is unparalleled.
Easy and simple to use!
Comments: Paysimple allows us to run our CrossFit gym with ease. It's great to setting up and managing recurring payments for memberships as well as generating custom reports to track growth and income coming in! The dashboard is great when you just want to log in quick and see your receivables for the month!

ACE Publishing Review
Comments: This is our first year using PaySimple. We have appreciated the customer service we have received from our representative. She is always quick to look for solutions to our questions. There are certain things we would like to do that would make it easier to maintain our items in the catalog and keep things organized. Entering field information was a big frustration for us. We would also like to be able to delete items off of our field options when we make a mistake on one. It would also save us a step if there were a way to export items by batch ID.
My company loves PaySimple. We have all of our sales rep registered!
Comments: All our reps have access so once they sign the contract they can set up a recurring payment. And then accounting just verifies it is correct. The customer receives a receipt. (It's automatic!)
We get failed transaction notifications.
The flow of the system is easy to use as well.
And I can't forget to mention the ease of recurring payments.

AWESOME. Love PAYSIMPLE
Likely Extremely
Pros: I love everything.
Cons: none
Overall: PaySimple is an Awesome company. They're fast and convenient. Easy to learn. The only suggestion that I have is to be able to provide a way to separate monthly EFT transactions from Manual Transactions.
Recommendations to other buyers: Being able to separate Monthly EFT trans from Manual Trans
Awesome Company!
Comments: First off this is a amazing company that I feel that they actually care about their customers unlike some companies. Their customer service team is one of the best teams out there. I have never had a bad experience with paysimple. Using paysimple is quick and easy to learn the other thing that could do Is extend their phone hours but besides that they are a AMAZING company!
Pros: Great Customer Service Easy to use software Short hold times
Cons: Short customer service hours

PaySimple rocks!
Comments: Since we began accepting credit cards several years ago, we used tried several processors. By far, PaySimple has been the most reliable and easiest to use. We love the user interface. It is intuitive and user-friendly. PaySimple support has been great also. We have always been able to get answers to questions and resolve any issues with one contact.

Worst company I've ever dealt with1
Comments: BUYER BEWARE!! This company lies to it's customers and promises services that they don't offer. I tried to cancel our account within the 30 day trial period and they not only didn't issue me return on my payment but charged me for a SECOND month! I've been fighting with them to return our money and they simply are so inept at their own billing that they can't get our return processed. Horrible company, Horrible customer service. Stay away from pay simple!
Pros: None... Absolutely none
Cons: Too many to list.

Comments: Potential customers should be aware that PaySimple has a policy in place of embedding a "powered by" statement (pretty common) as well as an advertisement of their services in each outgoing invoice email you send to your clients. So aside from paying a subscription fee and payment processing fees, you'll also be advertising their business, whether you like it or not. They DO NOT offer an opt-out and have no plans to change these marketing tactics.
Pros: Platform does what it's suppose to, with little to no problems.
Cons: Their development team takes forever to fix any potential bugs and/or implement enhancements. I personally reported a bug within their system, its been over a year and it still has NOT been fixed.

Our situation has not changed at all as regards birth and death. Although contained by infinitude, we are still finite beings who cannot escape being stirred by our very nature to try and understand the Infinite and Absolute. With regard to the Absolute and all states of being comprising the universe, we are what we have always been and always will be: the fairest creatures and the highest point of creation, yet possessing the potential to fall to the lowest point.
The Qur'an states that the process of creation is circular: As He brought you forth in the beginning, so unto Him shall you also return (7:29). Thus creation ends at the point from which it started. Atheists believe this as well, but conceive of matter, space and time, or something presentable in terms of four dimensions as the process' starting and ending points. Matter has the least degree of perfection, and yet atheists hold it, in its most chaotic condition, to be the beginning and end of creation, which they consider accidental and purposeless. The Qur'an, however, says that existence starts with the highest state of perfection, proceeds downward to matter, and then turns upward to the point from which it started:
He regulates the affair from the heaven to Earth, then shall it go up to Him in one day the measure of which is a thousand years of what you reckon. (32:5)
Since existence manifests God's Grace or Compassion, creation's order and hierarchy begin with the highest and most comprehensive created entity. This being is the compassion unto all worlds or beings, the possessor of all excellences in their highest degree of perfection. This entity, the most comprehensive in perfection and embodiment of God's Compassion, is presented in various terms. However, the most appropriate ones are the Muhammadan Light or the Muhammadan Reality. Like sunshine radiating through everything that exists, the Muhammadan Light is actually the theater of the theophany of all Divine Names and Attributes, as well as the archetype of the cosmos.
The hierarchy of creation unfolds itself in countless spheres of intellectual and angelic beings. The Qur'an calls these malakut, realms of unseen active spiritual and psychic entities. Each sphere is held by the one above it and holds the one below it, ending in the four dimensional sphere known as material being. Our world, the 'alam-i mulk or 'alam-i shahadat (the held-world or seen-world), is the lowest sphere, for it is held but cannot hold. It forms the hierarchy's base, whereas the first and most perfect and comprehensive entity is its summit.
The Qur'an defines our situation in a way that is at once perennial and universal: We created humanity of the fairest creature, and then reduced it to the lowest of the low (95:4-5). Created in the fairest stature, we nevertheless fell into separation and withdrawal from our celestial prototype—a condition the Qur'an calls the "lowest of the low." Concerning this, a Sufi commentator writes that God created us as the most complete and perfect theophany, the most universal and all-embracing theater of Divine Names and Attributes, so that we might bear the Divine Trust and become the source of an unlimited effusion of light. He identifies the "lowest of the low" with the World of Natural Passion and Heedlessness. The grandeur of the human state, its great possibilities and perils, and the permanent nature of our quest after the Divine therefore lie at the very root of human existence.
Islam is the religion of unity, and all aspects of its doctrine and practice reflect this central and cardinal principle. The Shari'a is a vast network of injunctions and regulations that inwardly relate the world of multiplicity to a single center and, conversely, is reflected in the multiplicity of the circumference. Islamic art seeks to relate the multiplicity of forms, shapes, and color to the One, to the center and Origin, and thereby reflect tawhid in its own way in the world of forms with which it is concerned.

Cloudbleed: Serious Bug Exposes Sensitive Data From Millions Sites Sitting Behind CloudFlare
(The Hacker News)
"A severe security vulnerability has been discovered in the CloudFlare content delivery network that has caused big-name websites to expose private session keys and other sensitive data."
Cloudflare reports that 0.00003 percent of HTTP requests made through their systems between February 13 and February 18 may have exposed sensitive data. Working with a number of search engines, the company identified 770 unique cached URIs that included leaked memory and said any leaked memory was purged. It is possible though that residual caches of this data still exist. This particular bug is an example of how a developer can do everything right but by relying on a third party's library or service, still make their app vulnerable. NowSecure CTO David Weinstein explained the Cloudbleed bug's impact on mobile apps and published a list of popular iOS apps that may have been affected in a blog post.

What to expect from the Trump administration on cybersecurity
(CSO Online)
"Look for U.S. President Donald Trump's administration to push for increased cybersecurity spending in government, but also for increased digital surveillance and encryption workarounds."
There's still no official word on when to expect the release of the Trump administration's executive order on cybersecurity (though it may come prior to the president speaking to Congress on Tuesday). A purported draft of the order states, "Effective immediately, Agency Heads shall use The Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity (the Framework), or any successor document, developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to manage their agency's cyber risk." NIST will host webinars at the beginning of March discussing how to use the framework and explaining updates published in January. Unfortunately registration for the live events is already full, but recordings of the webinars will be published within two weeks.
Who is listening?: Hijacking devices

"The next time you open your smartphone, be sure that you know what it's doing behind the scenes."
I Tracked Myself With $170 Smartphone Spyware that Anyone Can Buy
"For a relatively small fee, you can snoop on someone's messages, call logs, photos, and location from across the planet."
The reporter writes, "Within minutes, I had downloaded the malware, turned off an Android security setting that would allow it to install itself, entered my subscription key, and was ready to collect data." So, to install the malware and compromise the device, physical access to the unlocked phone was necessary.
Judge: No, feds can't nab all Apple devices and try everyone's fingerprints
(Ars Technica)
"A federal magistrate judge in Chicago recently denied the government's attempt to force people in a particular building to depress their fingerprints in an attempt to open any seized Apple devices as part of a child pornography investigation."

Microfluidic Mixing
Mixing at the microscale: essential and challenging
Microfluidic devices have wide applicability in biomedical research, clinical diagnostics, and drug development. However, a primary limitation of microfluidic systems is their inability to achieve thorough and rapid mixing. Mixing is essential for achieving rapid reactions and reliable results. Microfluidic systems, are typically low Reynold's number environments, which has two critical implications:
- Fluid flows are laminar, not turbulent
- Transport is limited to diffusion and advection (travel along streamlines)
There is no shortage of methods for microfluidic mixing, but they all rely on the same phenomenon: changing the boundary conditions of the chamber. These boundary variations can be passive or active.
In passive mixing, the structure of the microchannel is tuned to increase contact area and contact time between various blocks of fluid, creating increased opportunity for
diffusion to occur. Passive mixing methods inclde microstructures, such as zigzag, serpentine/3D-serpentine or herringbone microchannels. Passive mixers have the advantage of not using any source of energy other than the bulk motion of the fluid. However, the quality of mixing decreases as the path length gets shorter, the flow rate decreases, and the feature sizes get coarser. Therefore, passive mixing strategies work best when sample volumes are large, and when high-precision fabrication techniques are available.
Active mixing mechanisms in microfluidic systems use an external force to drive fluid flow within a microfluidic system. Methods include microstirrers, flow pulsation, acoustic methods, and thermal and electrokinetic strategies. These methods can mix faster than passive methods, and mixing can be performed in very small volumes of static fluid. (One finding that's relevant to our method, which uses active microposts: according to computational work, multiple small stirbars are better than one big stirbar.) However, active mixing requires that the mixer be driven externally, and the nature of the external force can present compatibility issues when combined with biological systems.
Optimizing microfluidic mixing for high-volume consumables
When designing high-volume consumables (e.g., diagnostic cartridges), it is typically desirable to minimize:
- Sample volume
- Complexity and precision of fluid handling
- Cost of goods, including tooling, assembly, and quality burden
Unfortunately, few microfluidic mixing methods help achieve these goals. Passive mixers require continuous flow, which drives up sample volume, and precise fluid paths, which drives up manufacturing costs. Active mixers vary widely in the design constraints they impose, but each has its own drawbacks. Microstirrers struggle without circular chambers and sample volumes smaller than ~100 µL, and because they must be individually loaded, they drive up assembly costs in multi-well cartridges. Thermal methods can induce local heating that can damage biological samples or change reaction kinetics. Acoustic methods use high-power ultrasound that can damage samples with shear stresses. They often involve trapping bubbles that must later be eliminated. Flow pulsation requires highly precise fluid handling. Electrokinetic mixing methods require integration of precise electrodes in the cartridge, driving up manufacturing costs.
Of course, here at Redbud Labs, we're quite fond of MXR, the world's first microfluidic mixing module designed specifically for integration into diagnostic consumables. It's an active mixing method that we've packaged into a pop-in chip. Sample volumes are typically 10-100 µL (bigger and smaller are both fine), and it requires no external pumping or mixing. One chip can house multiple custom-sized chambers, which reduces the number of components and the cost of your bill of materials. To our knowledge, it's the fastest mixing chip on the market, and the modular design makes it highly adaptable.
Making the call
When evaluating a microfluidic mixing method, here are some variables to consider regarding the underlying assay:
- How important is mixing to the quality of your assay, for example, due to reaction completeness or consistency?
- How important is mixing to the speed of your assay, for example, due to reagent or analyte dispersal?
- How long do you require mixing? Is power consumption or sample heating a potential issue in your assay?
- If you could remove all engineering constraints, what is the smallest sample volume permitted by the underlying biology or chemistry of your assay? What is the minimum sample permitted by your analytic method?
Here are some variables to consider regarding the design of the cartridge:
- What manufacturing methods do you hope to use for your cartridge? What are the minimum feature sizes?
- If you require mixing in multiple locations, how does the cost of your method scale with the addition of a new chamber?
- What is the anticipated yield and what are the assembly costs associated with your mixing method?
- What dead volume (if any) is required to service your mixing method?
- What (if any) fluid handling equipment is required to achieve the desired mixing performance?
Redbud Labs is here to help
If you're designing a consumable cartridge and you're looking for a microfluidic solution, we can help. We're admittedly partial to our own microfluidic mixing chip, but we're familiar with the full range of methods and we can help point you to the best solution. Looking to learn more? Contact us.

Twitter has always stood out in the sea of social media platforms, because they don't filter their content. On Facebook, they've turned to algorithms, showing you what they think you most want to see. Instagram used to be solely chronological, like Twitter, until it began to allow advertisements to be shown out of order, to earn them more views. Twitter is about to change this.
Twitter has experimented with limitations to visibility in the past, with filter-like features. Twitter has faced positive feedback over their lack of content control in the past, but now seems to be facing more trouble. Accusations of allowing the wrong kind of tweets the same coverage as others, are plaguing them. Twitter within the past election cycle, is now seen by some as the social media platform without a filter or regulating system. Some would call it the perfect platform for trolls, or people who want to be able to say whatever they want without being censored or reported.
Low-Quality Tweets
Twitter is now taking matters into its own hands, with an announcement about making certain tweets less visible than others in a Twitter feed or timeline. In this new update, Twitter will aim at "low-quality tweets." Low-quality tweets will be those that are considered to be abuse, or personal threats, hate speech, etc.
Twitter has yet to define what exactly "less relevant" or "low-quality" tweets will mean. Again, it will be in some way related to tweets that deal with abuse, like threats or hate speech.
Twitter is not turning to an algorithm-based structure to filter out these tweets, which is reassuring that Twitter will not become so aimed at an individual user, like Facebook.
For now, this update will focus on replies to tweets, rather than initial tweets, as this is where the most of these comments appear on Twitter. A tactic that some predict Twitter might use is a collapse feature, that enables reply tweets to be hidden, with the option to "Show More."
While collapsing, additional replies is one way, another way they might improve the live stream of tweets, is to sort out less relevant tweets from your feed. Again, this would feature the option show the additional replies, but initially Twitter would hide or filter these out.
Social Media Strategy
Consider how you reply to users on Twitter especially for business. Now that you know replies could become more filtered you may want to change your strategy. Not that we're suggesting you need filtering for the reasons Twitter might suggest. But if you're using Twitter replies as a way to respond to, or connect with your followers, you may want to consider an alternate strategy.

The Mind of a Dragon: Insight and Awareness
photo belongs to this youtube video…wanna give credit.
The mind of a Dragon
Besides the fact that they cannot distinguish between a potential mate and a pile of shiny glitter, dragons are highly intelligent creatures. It was only when I first stood face to face with the beast that I understood this. I was about 11 years old and Sally was a a few months old when I found her.
It was just after dusk, and very cloudy. Not unusual for a Ukrainian autumn morning. A rumbling bass echoed from the heavens.
The grey clouds were illuminated by the occasional burst of fire, sending rays of lights through the dark, blanket like sky that swallowed all of the Ukraine. It was the first time I had come across dragons in my lifetime. I could not see them, but I knew they were up there.
Screaming at each other in an ancient language, distorting the clouds with frantic flaps of their wings This spectacular event occurred right over my head! I was terrified to say the least. I stared up into the sky and for the first time ever, I saw Sally. From the clouds she emerged. She was flapping her one good wing fiercely trying desperately to fly but loosing altitude quickly. As I watched, I felt sorry for her. With a ground shaking thump she hit the floor causing dirt and dust to shoot up in the shape of a little mushroom cloud.
I inhaled deeply, and sprinted over a small hill jumping over logs and dodging scrubs and puddles. She was a Nethrodote type dragon with black scales and a spiny tail. I could see her chest moving as she inhaled and exhaled. In the minute it took me to get to her a pool of blood had formed under her wing. I could tell she was fighting to keep her eyes open.
Her face was strong and although she was heavily wounded she was the embodiment of pride.10 yards from the beast, I hid behind a rock, believing it could protect me from this young yet enormous monster. I stumbled and to my horror she stared directly into my face.
My heart raced and My face went pale. It's eyes were those of a predator, fierce and keen. But there was a sparkle in them I will never forget. Immediately I felt empathetic to the creature. Somehow I knew she couldn't harm me, there was an understanding between us I couldn't put in words. Its what I would imagine it would be like staring into the eyes of your wife or husband who you had been with for many decades and knowing with a certainty that you both are on the same page.
I approached the dragon agains its snarling protests. Im sure they were just for show. Dragons are insanely proud beings. I moved slowly. And when I was close enough I sat by it's side until it stopped growling, at which point I put my hand on its face. It grit it's teeth at me. They looked razor sharp and were candy white. I removed my hand and ran, it blew a puff of fire after me. Don't run from a dragon they will instantly think you are prey. I returned soon after with a bag of meat chunks.
I threw towards the dragon one by one, having it follow my steak chunks like E.T. did in the movie. It hunched, but i could tell the beast was starved. Today I think that this dragon may have been the mutt of the dragon litter, and was attacked by its brothers and sisters left for dead. It was very malnourished and scratched all over. I led it into the shed, where i threw in the remaining bag of meat and shut the the two large door halves, keeping the dragon concealed.
I brought the dragon different foods every night. To see what it liked. Surprisingly, she hated spicy food but absolutely loved twinkies (which are back according to the Washington Post). I challenged myself to bring her so much that she would become full. But it seemed no matter how much I gave her there was always room for more. Stealing from the meat cellar was too risky, so I hunted for large deer or wolves, I even took down a bear… though that was not easy.. and then lead the dragon to the still warm carcass.
Sally grew quickly and as time passed by her personality began to shine brighter than her armor. I named her sally after a dog our family once owned. Being an old child the dog was my best friend. But one day the dog ran away and never returned. My Parents were used to me wandering through the forest and being gone for many hours at a time so at first they didn't suspect me doing anything secretive at all. I would spend hours in the shed, trying to mend Sally's wing telling her stories.
Somehow I knew she was listening. She was playful and tender, but didn't hesitate to let you know when she didn't want to be touched. I had much respect for her, and not just because she could have easily killed me at any time, but also because she was wiser than I would ever be, which she demonstrated many times with patience, morality, confidence, certainty and selflessness. Ever so often would she try to share her half digested meal with me. But let's stray away from that story.
Sally was an amazing creature. After my dad had discovered her and the garden of eden Sally and I had created together, I let my guard down.
The shed was destroyed… and sally used her fiery breath to build herself an amazing underground cave. My dad came to love Sally as he was bring him wealth! And Sally loved my dad because he fed her like no one else would! And smiled and encouraged sally to swoop (not fly her wing was still bandaged and supported by an intricate contraption I created for her) over our Corn Field pooping like a carpet bomber.
When my mom got word of this and saw the flying dragon shitting all over our yard she lost it. She screamed so loud the pool guy from LakeNonaPoolMaintenance.com just ran away. They came back the next day and apologized, but the weirdness was too much.
She thought we had all gone crazy! She would watch from the house as Sally ate and shat and we laughed and drank.
My father and I had never been as close as we were in the nights where we would lay back in our rocking chairs after a hard days work, drinking vodka and smoking cigars, letting the radiation from Sally's burning hot breath heat our faces and hands in the icy cold of the Ukrainian winter.
Soon spring came, and thanks to our hard work and our amazing fertilizer, the corn field was like nothing we had ever seen before!
Green nothing but green! And not just Corn, but peas, pineapple, mango, potato, pizza, meatballs, tiramisu, and maybe best of all fully prepared burritos for the picking! There were spaghetti vines and shrubs with little Lolli pops for berries! Instead of carrots we pulled popsicles and hot dogs out of the earth! Sadly, This joy did not last for long. My mother gossiped away… and told her female neighbor friends of the dragon and how dangerous it was and how she distrusted the new found wealth of the earth.
The word spread quickly, and soon sleazy salesman after sleazy sales man came to our door, offering outrageous prices to buy our home. My dad turned them all down, so, jealous of our new found independence and wealth, the town formed an angry mob and stood before our house one night. If they couldn't have it we shouldn't either… or so they thought.
I remember it like it was yesterday. They attacked our home and tore down the plants. Near a hundred men from all around this village and those surrounding went on a rampage through my yard…. and Sally's home. Those fools dared to bring war to a dragons doorstep… unknowing of the true strength of Sally.
They shouted and threw spears and molotov cocktails into her lair, trying to lure her out with the intention of slaying her, I watched in horror, but i feared not for my dragon. Sally emerged from her lair with such explosive epic-ness it chills my spine to this day.
Such a fierce display of strength, fire blazed in her eyes and hatred filled her chest. She jolted up shooting more fire in the air than i knew she could and launched herself towards the angry mob, taking 20- maybe 30 people under her wings while the other tried to flee of feebly attempted to wound Sally. She pulled her head back and inhaled like she always would when she was about to unleash her fiery flame thrower of death. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO i screamed…
and she looked at me, she looked through my eyes and into my soul. She turned away from me… pushed herself off the ground and flapped her wings with all her might. My bandages fell along with the sticks and metal brace I welded together to support her broken wing… but she flew… she flew away.
I never saw Sally again.

I have to get one thing straight, first up: I was not a nu-metal fan.
I didn't hate my parents, I had a happy childhood, and any teenage angst that I urgently needed addressing was fully satiated by the dulcet tones of Stephen Patrick Morrissey and Thom Yorke.
I adored Rage Against The Machine, the band that kicked nu-metal off. They were intense, angry and a band to utterly believe in – but I did not care for the slew of bands that followed in their wake, fusing hip hop and metal together with lyrics that often seemed like the whining of over-privileged middle-class kids. So much of it, at the time, felt so cynical and so forced. And, quite simply, it didn't speak to me at all.
Nonetheless, nu-metal dominated for those last few years of the '90s, and the first couple of the '00s, right up until The Strokes came along and led a indie revival which never looked back. In time, the world seemed to come round to my way of thinking – nu-metal was a bit of an embarrassment; a time that was best forgotten about.
Fast forward to 2011, when I made my yearly pilgrimage to Download Festival; a festival I love as it gives me – a part-time metal fan – a chance to wallow in a full weekend of it, a chance to see as many new and legendary acts as possible. Acts that I would never seek out to go and see at their own show, but ones that I would be very keen to check out as part of a bigger bill. A band like Linkin Park, for example.
Linkin Park had always seemed to stand out a little from the nu-metal crowd. Granted, I could never get on board with Mike Shinoda's white-boy rapping, but I whiled away my student days with MTV2, Kerrang! and Scuzz always on the TV in the background, and Linkin Park were to Kerrang! what Lionel Richie is to Magic. Slowly, I was forced to admit that their songs were really well written, they sounded great, and this guy Chester could really belt out a vocal. I remember hearing 'Breaking The Habit' – the fifth single from their second massive-selling album Meteora – and being genuinely surprised. This was a completely different sort of track to what we'd heard from them before, and it grabbed me, particularly Bennington's plaintive, honest vocals.
Despite this track piquing my interest, I'd never been to see them live. But at Download, in 2011, they were the Sunday night headliners. Hey, I may as well stick around for them – a band that had sold that many records and been around that long must be worth checking out – plus, they might play 'Breaking the Habit'. I took my place in front of the main stage.
To a band like Linkin Park, a band constantly on the road, playing to tens of thousands of people every night, it must, despite everything, get a bit samey. Sure, headlining Download might seem like a massive deal to us, but to them – especially seeing as they'd done it twice before – it was probably just another gig.
Frankly, the other five members of Linkin Park looked like they were phoning it in. It was efficient, but it was getting the job done.
But Chester? Bloody hell. He was amazing.
He sang every word like his life depended on it. While the rest of the band remained static, he marauded around the stage, trying to reach every member of the crowd, the veins nigh-on bursting out of his neck as he gave it absolutely everything, on every single song.
He sang like it could be the last gig he'd ever play, showing off the full range of his vocal ability – and when it came to the big, screamy parts, he just unleashed it. It was an utter tour de force. It was, undoubtedly, one of the greatest vocal performances I've ever seen. I would say it was effortless, but it wasn't – you could see the effort he was pouring in to every note. You could tell that this was a guy that really meant it. That didn't take it for granted.
They did play 'Breaking the Habit' – and it was magical – but the big songs off those first two records suddenly made more sense to me, as tens of thousands of people screamed the words of 'Numb', 'In the End' and 'Crawling' back at Chester. Big, big songs of introspection, of pain, that clearly meant so much to their fans in the audience, and he was not about to let them down by giving anything less than everything.
The band were fine – but Bennington was phenomenal. It's a performance that's stuck with me ever since.
And, while we're here, the last few years have seen something of a reappraisal of nu-metal, and I'm down with that. There were some brilliantly written songs in there – who, in the cold light of day, can really argue that 'Last Resort', 'Freak on a Leash', 'Bring Me To Life' and, yes, alright, 'Break Stuff' – aren't great, dumb, fun tracks. And you can't argue with the vast majority of the output of bands who dipped a toe into the nu-metal pool like System, Deftones and Slipknot.
Bennington always came across well in interviews, and even provided a fantastic Ultimate Playlist for this very website, and it's truly tragic that such a talent has gone so young.
So fair play Chester, your adoring fans will miss you hugely, and it might not mean much, but you even earned the undying respect of a doubting Thomas like me.

Barcelona sail uses these weather bulletins every day to assure that we can safely go out sailing and have fun on the water. Weather bulletins come in different formats and from different sources, sometimes the weather bulletins greatly differ in the weather information they provide. There are local weather bulletins that provide coastal weather information such a wave height and currents and there are passage weather bulletins that provide winds information and variations for larger sea areas. Passage weather bulletins are used to set out a long sailing tour. When we cross to the islands we always consult this page.
Forecasting the weather can also be done by looking into the clouds, at Barcelona sail we can teach you the basics of weather forecasting by looking at the clouds and reading the barometer.

"Brave, funny, and deeply moving."
-- Cathy Alter, author of Up for Renewal: What Magazines Taught Me About Love, Sex, and Starting Over

-- Franz Wisner, New York Times Bestselling author of Honeymoon with My Brother

If you're a 20-something working and living in New York City, you're living the dream -- right? Not if you're Jennifer Baggett, Holly Corbett, or Amanda Pressner. The trio of friends -- wondering if the paths they were on were the right ones -- left their apartments, jobs, and boyfriends to embark on a year-long adventure around the world, visiting more than ten countries on four continents, including Peru, Vietnam, India, and Australia. Though there are difficulties (could you hang out with your two besties for a year without getting on each other's nerves?), there are also a lot of amazing experiences, such as traveling down the Amazon and volunteering at a girls' orphanage in Kenya.
The three women who wrote this book took months to plan their trip (which was really trips as they returned to New York at least once each during their travels), they preplanned a lot of it, their travels took them to South America, Asia, New Zealand, and Australia. They took their laptop, blogged about their travels, Skyped with people back home and generally kept in pretty good touch with everyone, including a few get-togethers with friends and family along the way.
For anyone who loved 'Eat Pray Love' and are looking for a similar adventure that will sweep you away, this is the book for you. I thouroughly enjoyed travelling the globe through the eyes and stories of these girls.
Although initially I found it hard to keep straight which author was writing which chapter (I had to continually remind myself) and to keep their stories straight, its a great summer read.
Pick it up and enjoy the vacation!
A memoir written by three friends who decide to leave their lives in New York City behind and travel the globe for an entire year. Wonderful descriptions of all the places and people that they encounter throughout their travels. Funny, heartwarming, and very informative. Recommended for armchair travelers.

Frontier AGAIN failed to honor the terms of the contract
My contract expired last August and I told them that it is UNACCEPTABLE to charge me $40/month for DSL with a maximum download speed of 1 mb — the fastest download we can get in this rural area. I had seen ads for $15 and that's apparently for the DSL Light plan with a 1 mb download speed — the same speed as the $40 plan.
Can you believe that they have the NERVE to charge people $40 for DSL with a MAXIMUM download speed of 1 MB? I opted for the $15 plan.
We discussed my needs, Caller ID and VM with basic local telephone service. They suggested that I go on the nationwide unlimited plan for $40/month as that was the same as my current plan + VM + Caller ID and with CREDITS my bill would be around $50.
It was close, my bill was $56.14 in September.
I worked myself up to calling them and I was told that somebody made a "mistake" and that my bill would be $70 and there was nothing I could do about it.
Additionally, they also told me that I couldn't go back to my old calling plan as it was no longer available. It came with a feature that made my calls to Kingman local and I didn't have to dial the area code. In Kingman are our closest supermarkets, courts, doctors, etc. — just about everything. It's extremely annoying to have to dial the area code for all these calls. I don't even need unlimited long distance, paid only 2.5 cents/minute for the few occasions when I actually made long distance calls.
Nobody had EVER informed me that the local Kingman calls were part of my previous plan and I thought that they simply expanded our local area because Kingman is the closest town. In fact, when I got on my previous calling plan I paid $6 extra to make the calls to Kingman local and nobody mentioned that I could stop paying for that because it was included in the plan — how much money did I waste on that?
All in all, the customer service people who signed me up didn't even know the plan features and now for the 3rd time, got me on a plan that ended up costing me much more than they promised.
And when I called to complain, they told me to suck it up and they outright REFUSED to adjust the billing.
I've been so incredibly busy, I just could not get to this until today. And now I am so angry I could spit nails and I'm considering filing a lawsuit.
After all, I'm certainly not the only person getting defrauded by Frontier AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN and their billing practices should be brought to the regulators' attention too.
Recently Verizon bought out the local wireless carrier and they'll upgrade our area to G4. I expect that Frontier will have very few customers left once they lost their monopoly. I still like a landline, but I'm really sick and tired of the constant Frontier billing fraud. As a Frontier customer since 2000, I've had enough of the fraud!
So I'm sending the link to this post again to:
Denise Baumbach
President, West Region
Jack Yovanovich
Regional Director of Marketing
Stephanie Beasly
Manager Communications
I have no idea whether those emails still work as the page with the info is no longer working, but if I don't get a satisfactory response I'll file the lawsuit.
UPDATE: The mail to firstname.lastname@example.com was returned undeliverable and I also found a new page with contact info, but none of the people I emailed to are listed:
Hopefully I'll get a response to today's email.

The University of Georgia held a memorial service today for 105 people whose gravesites were found during construction on a Baldwin Hall expansion project and moved to nearby Oconee Hill Cemetery.
"From the moment the first remains were discovered in November of 2015, the university's guiding principle has been to treat these individuals with dignity and respect, and it is in that spirit that today's ceremony was developed," UGA President Jere Morehead said.
Most of the 30 remains that could be tested were of African ancestry—presumably slaves, given that the Jackson Street or Old Athens Cemetery where they were found closed in 1856—and some members of Athens' African-American community have been critical of the way UGA has handled the situation, given that the remains probably belong to ancestors of living Athens residents.
Linda Davis, a Clarke County Board of Education member who is leading efforts to restore the historic black Brooklyn Cemetery, has suggested the remains should have been reinterred there or at Gospel Pilgrim Cemetery, another black cemetery, instead of Oconee Hill, which was historically segregated.
One anthropologist, Michael Trinkley of the Chicora Foundation, told National Public Radio that the remains should not have been moved at all.
"The fact that these individuals are 50 years, 100 years, 200 years old to many does not reduce the trauma of the event of removal," Trinkley said.
UGA has said it acted on the advice of the state archaeologist's office, which said to reinter the remains in the closest cemetery to the site they were found in, and in the same arrangement they were found in. The Baldwin Hall site had 105 gravesites, but only 63 remains were found, indicating some had been moved previously.
Boxes containing the remains were quietly reinterred last week, and granite monument installed over them. An inscription on the monument reads:
Here lie the remains of 105 unknown individuals, originally interred during the 19th century. The vast majority of the 30 remains able to be identified were those of men, women and children of African descent, presumably slaves or former slaves. Others were of European and Asian descent. Their remains were discovered in November 2015 during the University of Georgia's Baldwin Hall construction project adjacent to the Old Athens Cemetery. In March 2017, they were respectfully reinterred here.
May they continue to rest in peace.
"Despite all that we do not know, it is our privilege to join together today—in complete reverence—to pay tribute to these individuals as they assume their final resting place in the historic Oconee Hill Cemetery," Judge Steve Jones said during the ceremony. "While we cannot call to mind their personal stories or life histories, we can hold these individuals with care and compassion in our hearts and in our minds."
UGA anthropology professor Laurie Rietsma oversaw the exhuming and study of the remains. Today, the university announced a second round of research, headed by Vice President for Research David Lee, "to understand better how these 105 individuals lived as well as their connections to the Athens community, including any ties to slavery."
Morehead also said he will step up efforts to cooperate with the Athens community on issues like education and economic development.
