Our festive cards are folded to A5 (or A6 where indicated) and come in packs of 10, including envelopes. The cards are blank inside, and have some information about the design and Humanists UK on the reverse.
Want your cards before Christmas? Our final date for dispatch is Thursday 19 December, so please make sure to order your cards in good time. We cannot guarantee arrival before Christmas Day for orders received after this date.
Our 2019 Christmas card celebrates the true spirit of the season – an ancient human ritual that predates the major religions of Europe today.
For as long as people have lived in the Northern Hemisphere, we have turned a bitter and barren season into a festival of light, food, friendship, and gift-giving. The pagans called it Yule, but you may know it by one of many names. Its traditions persist today – from the firs we bring indoors to remind ourselves of nature, to the lights we hang about our homes, to the roasted vegetables, wines, and ales we enjoy with family and friends. This original 'Christmas' story – one of ordinary people coming together to celebrate their love for one another – is thousands of years older than the nativity fable, and is an important part of our shared human heritage.
This card has a white border with a Humanists UK logo at the top.
A mix-pack of our most popular cards. This pack contains 2 each of our Fibonacci Cones, Saturnalia, Festive Darwin, Tree of Life, and Hubble cards.
Isaac Newton was born on Christmas Day 1642, and went on to become one of the most influential scientists in history. He split light into its rainbow. He showed that apples fall from trees for the same reason that moons orbit planets. He invented a new type of telescope. He developed calculus. And most of it before turning 30.
We've hidden various references to Newton on this card: some big, some small. How many can you spot? All together they make up our tribute to the giant on whose shoulders modern physics stands.
Bertrand Russell was a humanist, philosopher, logician, and Nobel laureate. He was a member of our Advisory Council, as well as President of Cardiff Humanists. He famously posited a china teapot orbiting the sun, pointing out that nobody can disprove such a teapot. We hope he'd like our affectionate tribute.
All around us, stars are forming. In this stellar nursery spotted by Hubble, 170,000 light years away, diamond blue stars are destined to live fast and die young: far more massive than our sun, they will explode as supernovae within a few million years. Surrounding them is the hydrogen gas from whence they came, blown asunder by ultraviolet rays and violent streams of charged particles. And producing, from our angle, to our eyes, for the tiniest moment in the history of the universe, a rather festive tree.

For centuries, light and colour have been a treasured part of midwinter celebrations. If you want to add a twist, literally, it's easy to put two strings together to form a DNA-esque double helix.
We think it's a fitting reminder that no matter when, where or what you celebrate, we're all the same underneath.
If you were to note the position of the sun at the same time every day over the course of a year, you'd end up with the distinctive figure-eight pattern shown on this card – known today as an analemma.
For thousands of years the analemma frustrated attempts to tell the time: sundials would cheerfully go out of sync with hourglasses or burning candles. The difference was a challenge to anyone putting together a theory of astronomy, and inspired much scientific inquiry.
Today we know the peculiar shape of the analemma is caused by the tilt of the Earth on its axis, and our orbit being elliptical rather than circular. And it rotates: if you're at the poles, it's vertical; if you're at the equator, it's horizontal.
At the winter solstice (in the northern hemisphere), the sun is at the lower tip. We think the analemma is a lovely symbol to mark the passing of the year and the progress of humanity.
Our 2014 card is a festive representation of Charles Darwin's Tree of Life – his first sketch of the idea that all species are related, and evolved from a common ancestor.
The tips of the branches represent species that are alive today, and as you travel from the star to his hat you pass every species that has ever existed (plus the Galápagos Finch, which played an important role in the inception of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection.)
This card comes with a twist: if you turn it upside-down, it celebrates a different midwinter festival. Click here to see the upside-down image.
There's some text on the back that hints at this, though doesn't give it away explicitly.
Darwin getting into the festive spirit. (Folded to A6)
Pine cones naturally grow in Fibonacci spirals – a form of the 'golden ratio' that pervades nature, mathematics and art. We think they're an appropriately festive and fascinating symbol to help celebrate the holiday season and the turning of the year.
A festive take on our atheist bus logo.
Found in snowflakes and frost crystals formed naturally on cold glass, fractals also appear in the reflections of baubles.

American Jack Rabbit History
A repost from this blog circa February 2006.
A Jack Rabbit is not a rabbit -- it is a hare. The name comes from the fact that early settlers distinguished this animal from the various forms of cotton tail rabbits by comparing the ears of this hare to that of a jack ass. A "jack ass rabbit" became, in time, a "jack rabbit".
American jack rabbits come in two basic flavors -- white-tailed jack rabbits and black-tailed jack rabbits. There is also the snowshoe hare, but it is uncommon in the U.S. which is the southern terminus of its range.
Jack rabbits are so common in much of the drier parts of the American west that in most states the law says you can kill as many as you want, any way you want, on your own property.
Long gunners kill about 2 million jack rabbits in California every year, and the numbers are not in decline as a consequence. Kills by coursing dogs, such as greyhounds, are so rare they do not even register in the statistics.
Truth be told, it is hard to make a dent on jack rabbit populations because they are as prolific as .... well rabbits. Female jack rabbits breed for about half the year (January to July) and have 3 or 4 litters a year with three or four young on average. Gestation is 41 to 47 days, and the young are born alive and running, straight out of the box -- there is no den or nest.
The white-tailed jack rabbit is about 8 pounds and a bit larger than its black-tailed cousin. Fox eat almost no jack rabbits (too big and fast for a fox to catch), but coyotes take quite a few. The main enemy of the jack rabbit is tularemia -- an ugly little disease, and not a very nice way to die.
Jack rabbit hunts are an old tradition in the American West. Hunting them with dogs, however, is certainly less efficient and more sporting than the way it once was done!
The old-fashioned American jack rabbit hunts that occurred in the West were done with snow fencing that would stretch out for a mile or two in a large funnel. Rabbits would then be driven into the funnel and the rabbits would then be penned at the end of the funnel and clubbed to death.
The picture above is of an 1893 Fresno, California bunny roundup with snow fence used as a "boma" to corral the rabbits.
Some jack rabbits were eaten, but the real reason for the jack rabbit roundup was that 15 jack rabbits could supposedly eat about as much as a cow, and while there was a market for cattle hide and salted beef, there was no market for jack rabbit.
Jack rabbit roundups in the American west were not hunting -- they were a failed attempt at extermination.
1894 jack rabbit haul from Lamar, Colorado.
The first greyhound coursing clubs in the U.S. were a product of the massive rabbit drives pictured above. The healthiest rabbits taken in a jack rabbit drive were sold to coursing clubs (some are far away as Florida!). Today, the live rabbits that were once used in open fields, have been replaced with race tracks in which a mechanical bunny runs down an elevated track. In less formal "lure coursing" trials, a plastic bag is tied to a moving string run across a motor fly wheel and pulleys.
20,000 rabbits taken in one Fresno, Califonira Jack Rabbit roundup, 1893
Around the turn of the 20th Century, the federal government put most of the American West in control of the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Forest Service, various Indian reservations, and the military. Federal protection of these environmentally marginal lands has meant that jack rabbits have been allowed to breed unfettered by cattlemen for about 100 years now. The cow at McDonald's is probably a feed-lot animal, not a free-range western cow competing head-to-head with jack rabbits. In short, the jack rabbit has never had it so good.
A few greyhounds are still used to course jack rabbits in the West, but they are not much of a threat to jack rabbit populations. The reason for that is pretty simple: A jack rabbit can hit speeds of 40-45 mph and turn on a dime. The few rabbits that are caught are easily replaced through natural reproduction.
In fact, getting chopped by a greyhound may be the best of all possible exits for a jack rabbit. The alternative death is not a hospital bed with a morphine drip and soft music in the background, but debilitating disease, vehicle impact, starvation, or being ripped apart by a coyote, owl, and/or the blast of a shotgun or a .22 rifle. In the litany of ways a rabbit can die, a chop by a practiced greyhound is a good way to go.

my five year old jack russell chases jack rabbits through the farmers' field in Austria. I allow her to do so when it's not hunting season (like now), but I'm concerned that there is some danger to her that I'm not thinking of.... could the jack rabbits harm her. There are deer around also, and if she takes off after them, could they hurt her (I worry about the antlered males).
- PBurns said...
If you're in Austria, it's probably not jack rabbits you dog is chasing (a jack rabbit is actually a kind of hare), but a European rabbit that dens underground (European hares being not too common in most locations anymore).
A dog can go underground following a rabbit, and that should be a concern as a dog can get stuck, suffocate, etc. The rabbit itself cannot hurt the dog, but the dog can still get lost and trapped. And it's not just rabbbits -- a dog can go underground on its own chasing a fox or badger if you do not have a locator collar on it and tools to dig it out. A loose dog that is out of sight is always a danger, but the rabbit or hare itself is not the problem.
As for deer, do not worry about it; the deer can easily avoid the dog unless the deer get stuck on a fence, which is very unlikely.
- Patti McCracken said...
thanks, I'll do more checking as to the type of rabbit (burrower, etc.). It seems to be jackrabbits --they just hop off away, zigzagging along, and then my dog runs back to me. But I'll ask around. Thanks for your help.
- Patti McCracken said...
and one more thing... these are really large rabbits. Really large, so that's why I am assuming they are hares/jackrabbits.
We have snowshoe hares in West Virginia. It was a family tradition to take the dogs up to the High Alleghenies and run them.
I remember one time that an acquaintance went along, who had never seen a hare before, and when the dogs bolted a hare from the rhododendron, he took off running in the opposite direction. He was shocked at the size of the creature.
- Daniel Gauss said...
If the blacktail jack could indeed run 30-35mph, our hounds would catch every single one, no matter how agile they are. I think you meant 40-45 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-tailed_Jackrabbit) They are the second fastest North American mammal behind the (much faster) Pronghorn "antelope" (>50mph).
Many of the dogs we hunt with (not mine, alas) can hit 40 in short bursts on the chase, but we catch only about one in ten, and those can usually be classified as "terminally stupid". If the dogs can get them turning in circles instead of lining out- they're goners.
- PBurns said...
Nah -- not a typo. I am simply WRONG. I corrected it though! ;) Thanks for that. I like to get it right.
- Daniel Gauss said...
In your defense, the "30-35mph" number shows up on a number of sites. Not sure where they're timing those jacks, though. Maybe California ;)
The New Mexico blacktails can flat fly!
- Aoibheall said...
I wish that jacks here in California were doing as well as all that. At least where I live, North East of Sacramento. All of our fields are being developed and, as a result, jack rabbits and cotton tails are becoming scarce. We walk fields that you would thing were Loaded and come up empty handed. As a falconer, I will travel pretty far to hunt my hawk. I live with access to 1100 acres of oak and grassland. Cattle are put out there from November to June. In the 10 years I have lived here I have only flushed perhaps 5 jacks, unintentionally. My hawk got one, a beautiful big male.
Jack rabbit is very good eating, by the way. Back strap and thighs for stews, chili and slow cooking; everything but the guts go to my birds. If you live in the greater Sacramento area and have jackrabbits, let me know. YOu can come out and watch the hawks do their thing.

Have you ever been in an enclosed area and smell the fumes from someone smoking? Doesn't it annoy you? It must be weird being annoyed by a smell. I am upset, agitated, and infuriated when I smell a smoker and the smoke from their activities. I cannot fathom why someone would smoke their way to their death beds. We have heard of the many side-effects and ramifications for smoking cigarettes. For crying out loud go far far away and kill yourself with the fumes. Why make the rest of the world suffer in your unhealthy agony? I cannot imagine what goes on in the lungs and inside the body as they inject those crazy chemicals in.
My heart goes out though to all of the many addicts to smoking. I really blame them for their conditions and addiction to cigarettes and wish that they would change their lifestyle to a healthier one. Many families are being separated by those family members who smoke for a lifetime and end up dying from complications. There are however, solutions and many alternatives smokers can make to live their lives better.
In America alone 46 million people light a cigar. We have heard many times of the disadvantages for smoking but the information does not move smokers to stop killing themselves silently. They are addicted and so drawn and warped into smoking that they cannot and sometimes find it hard to end a life addicted to its contents. One would think businesses would stop making cigarettes so harmful to the body. No. They are manufactured and marketed to entice the innocent. Many young people are becoming addicted to smoking and the trend must be stopped. How many young people should die because of this addictive substance? Worldwide between 80,000 and 100,000 kids will start smoking everyday. No public service announcement can save those kids. Parents should become involved in parenting once again and ensure that their young children are not being killed early.
I have not felt the urge to smoke, never. I wonder what would prompt someone to light a cigar then. Of course, we can blame society, the culture and all the other factors that motivate our actions. I think our culture has a lot to do with this nasty trend. In Jamaica and many other parts of the world it is acceptable if a teen smokes in public. He/She is seen as unique, special, cool, fun, exciting the list goes on. What if we had generated a culture where we speak out against killing our hearts and our bodies? The price we pay to provide health care to these lunatics who are walking dead bodies waiting to happen must end now.
Side Effects of Smoking Cigarettes
- Tobacco contributes to many cancers.
- Smoking causes heart disease.
- Smoking causes fat deposits to narrow and block blood vessels which lead to heart attack.
- Smoking is a slow way to die.
- Smoking causes heart attacks and strokes.
- Carbon monoxide robs your muscles, brain and body tissue of oxygen, making your whole body and especially your heart work harder. Over time, your airways swell up and let less air into your lungs.
- Causes impotence in men.
The list goes on but I decided just to highlight those.
I want people to realize the dangers of smoking and their lives. We are having a heated discussion on health care reform in the US. The fact is people must take personal responsibility for their lives and take steps to live a healthy lifestyle. In 1998 alone, USA spent $72.7 billion on people with health care problems associated with smoking. We are in 2009 that cost would never be decreased but increased. We are setting up ourselves for a huge problem with heart issues and strokes hitting younger people if we create a culture where smoking is accepted. I agree when any government that comes down hard on smokers. They must be taxed to the point where they cannot afford the product. Then we will see this horrendous habit by millions changed.
Can someone tell Obama to make this a teachable moment? He is for crying out loud, spewing fumes into the White house on a regular basis. He must be confronted and a team used to stop his addiction to smoking. If he doesn't……..Oh my God!

Hello again. Six months ago, I started a, then, short journey in order to move from 1Password 3 to 1Password 6. It was a failure, but I also promised to give you gals and guys and your software a second chance. Well, the moment has come.
I won't deny it, I can see that some things have improved. I can finally use attachments, even though they still do NOT get imported from the exported 1password file, I could at least manually create a Document type of entry and save the attachment there. Also, interface has improved a bit, even though I still see a ton of place for improvement.
One single thing I absolutely don't understand though, and it has me amazed that you and your testers did not see or find this, is that 1Password doesn't import password or other login related fields of a password item if there is no proper website specified. I've got a few entries that have only passwords (or username and passwords), but no website. I've also got an entry that contains the AgileBits Master Account Key (and nothing else). They are NOT shown within 1Password, not the desktop version, not the iPad version, and not the browser version. Not imported, that simple. But it goes even further. When opening the Dropbox account on the desktop version, it's not shown there either, even though I can access and see it without any problem through my iPhone (which is still set up to the Dropbox account, fortunately) or the old 1Password 3 version. In order to illustrate it, I'm adding screenshots from the desktop version (no password on either imported vault and Dropbox vault), browser version (no password on imported vault), and iPhone (password shows up on Dropbox vault).
Of course, this I found out only after upgrading from the trial to paid account. So, I really hope you will push this critical bug up to the very first spot of your pending bug fixes list, since this effectively stops people from migrating their accounts correctly. Again. Still.
I for myself will now have to double check every single of my entries in order to make sure all data is in the new vault, and add whatever is missing.
Seriously, that's a shame.
1Password Version: 6.3.359d
Extension Version: 4.6.3.b3
OS Version: Windows 10
Sync Type: 1Password Account
@me_and_myself: Thanks for following up on this! That definitely seems like a bug. Not an excuse for this, but I've only ever encountered one other case of logins without URLs, so I can't say that it comes up frequently. Can you tell me more about what format you imported data from and the process you used? I wonder if the data is in fact still there, but 1Password is just not displaying it for some reason. You could try exporting to CSV to see if it shows up there, preferably with information that is less sensitive since that would be plaintext. Either way, you're 100% right that you shouldn't have to go through and double-check all of your data after importing. I'm sure we can get to the bottom of this and get things sorted out — for you and others who may encounter it in the future. I look forward to hearing back from you!
Ok, so here's the thing. This is what I did in order to get my data into the new vault.
1) Opened 1Password 3 (18.104.22.1682) and went to File -> Export.
2) Chose export All Items and 1Password Interchange File format, saved to desktop.
3) Went to 1Password 6.3.359d "Import" option and imported said file into a new vault.
I did some testing now, and here are the results which should hopefully help to find this bug.
1) I exported the data as Comma-Delimited-Text and Tab-Delimited-Text, "All Logins" both times, as these two options don't allow for single logins to be exported. In both cases, the entry is not being exported and can't be found in the source code of the files. Makes sense, as the item I am looking for is not a Login, but Account type entry.
2) I exported the data as 1Password Interchange File, both "All Items" and "Selected Items", and then opened the source files, both times the entry is there (with all its fields!), so it definitely gets exported correctly, but rather not imported correctly afterwards. This is what shows up (I changed the real content for obvious reasons):
{"keyID":"somelonghexnumber","locationKey":"","typeName":"wallet.onlineservices.GenericAccount","location":"","uuid":"anotherlonghexnumber","updatedAt":1471910534,"createdAt":1471910513,"title":"AgileBits Master Account Key","contentsHash":"somehashvalue","securityLevel":"SL5","secureContents":{"notesPlain":"","username":"","password":"herewasthepassword"}}
Here's what it looks like in 1Password 3:
I've meanwhile located another entry that didn't get imported correctly (sorry, didn't have time for more), it's another Generic Account entry and has Username, Password and Note fields. It gets exported correctly with all its fields (I checked the .1pif file), but after importing, only the Note field shows up, Username and Password are missing.
@me_and_myself: Thank you for those details! I completely understand that you don't want to go through and enumerate all of your entries that may be affected, and of course they'll probably contain sensitive information so that you won't be able to share much detail. But this at least helps us narrow things down.
While we investigate this on our end, I wonder if opening the actual vault in 1Password 6 might get you a better result. That's why we have read-only local vault support in the app after all: it's a lot easier than manually exporting and importing data if you've already got a 1Password vault. I can't guarantee that will solve all of this for you, but 1Password for Windows version 1 had much more limited export capability, so it wouldn't surprise me if reading the vault directly (instead of going through these intermediary steps — "middlemen") in the new version produced better results. Granted, a lot has changed since we stopped developing the first version of the Windows app, but I think that's at least worth a try to hopefully save you some trouble. Let me know how it turns out!
@me_and_myself: Actually, something just occurred to me. I know that 1Password 4 has special handling for the legacy data, since later versions (4+, on macOS as well) use an entirely separate section that supports custom fields and other advanced features we added more recently. I think there may be a solution. I'll get back to you shortly.
Hi guys,
1Password 6 does not support importing from the legacy 1Password 1.x vaults, only from the 1Password 4 vaults and even there, any item created from 1Password 1.x carrying over to 1Password 4 would not be imported correctly in 1Password 6. There is also no 1Password 3, it's a Windows 7 error that shows it as 1Password 3 in the start menu.
We do plan to add support for these legacy items but there is no workaround directly from 1Password 1.x to 1Password 6. If you want to fix this, you'll have to open the vault in 1Password 4, quickly update the items (without any changes) and then export it from there.
Here's how:
That's far from an ideal solution, but I guess you absolutely knew that when you decided to release a software that does not allow an upgrade from a older version to the newest.
I was able to download and install 1Password 4 in trial mode, update all items as you said and then export them and re-import them into 1Password 6. All fields seem to appear correctly now (also when opening the now updated Dropbox vault in 1Password 6), so at least that saves me some headache. As a sidenote, the file attachment still doesn't get imported, but then again, I can create a new item for that one. So thank you for that "solution". I guess you got this quite high on your priority list because you probably want more people to upgrade their 1Password software and not go with another solution.
Hi @me_and_myself,
You are correct, it is not an ideal solution, actually it's not a solution at all. The very first thing that a new version of an app should do is completely migrate from the older version of 1Password but this didn't work out for us, we had a different goal in mind and why we still do not offer 1Password 6 as an upgrade to 1Password 4 customers. The longer we wait to finish everything in 1Password 6, the more 1Password.com customers go on without a Windows program, so we had to roll it out in stages with limited features set and implement everything as fast we can.
We do apologize for the inconvenience.
As a sidenote, the file attachment still doesn't get imported, but then again, I can create a new item for that one.
Check out New Item > Import files as Documents in 1Password 6, you can select multiple attachment files from your export folder and 1Password 6 will upload them all as Documents for you.

The concerns over both Trump's rhetoric and voter ID laws point to the same phenomenon: that voter fraud is incredibly rare, but belief in voter fraud is incredibly common. Recent analyses show that out of billions of votes cast only a tiny percentage were fraudulent. Other analyses suggest more bluntly that the number of people who impersonated others in order to vote fraudulently is roughly equivalent to the number of people abducted (and returned!) by extraterrestrials.
Despite this, belief in voter fraud is widespread. In a nationally representative survey fielded just prior and then just following the 2012 election, respondents were asked: "If your preferred candidate does not win the presidential election, how likely do you think election fraud will have been involved?" Sixty-two percent answered in the affirmative.
Respondents were then asked, "During this campaign season, both presidential campaigns have been accused of 'dirty tricks.' Whose campaign do you think has used dirty tricks to try to win?" Eighty-five percent of respondents who identified with or leaned toward a party believed that the opposing party engaged in dirty tricks.
In short, majorities of Americans are inclined toward the views expressed by Trump.
This raises the question: Why do people believe in voter fraud despite a lack of evidence for it? In a working paper, my colleagues and I argue that one reason is an overarching tendency to believe in all kinds of conspiracy theories. We asked respondents questions capturing how much they viewed events and circumstances as the product of conspiracy, such as whether they agreed or disagreed with the statement "Big events like wars, the current recession, and the outcomes of elections are controlled by small groups of people who are working in secret against the rest of us."
We found that a tendency to believe in conspiracies strongly predicted the belief that fraud would be to blame if the respondent's preferred candidate did not win. A person who generally did not believe in conspiracies had only a 33 percent chance of blaming fraud for their candidate's loss. A person who strongly believed in conspiracies had an 81 percent chance of blaming fraud.
Another factor was party. After the 2012 election, we found that partisanship was a better predictor of belief in voter fraud than the tendency to believe in conspiracy theories. Unsurprisingly, Republicans were more likely to believe that fraud had occurred than were Democrats. When asked about specific types of fraud, Republicans were significantly more likely than Democrats to see bribery and false identity as likely. This reflects their concern that U.S. residents who are ineligible to vote may become registered because of errors in voter registration drives, or because these residents impersonate actual registered voters.
However, there are certain kinds of fraud that Democrats cite more often than Republicans do: voter suppression and intimidation. Democrats spearheaded the effort to ensure that African Americans could vote, earned the durable loyalty of African Americans at the ballot box, and fear that, even now, African Americans will be denied the right to vote. Thus, Democrats have been particularly concerned about the actions of state legislators or state elections officials that might reduce the turnout of African Americans, as well as some other minority groups.
In short, each party thinks the other is cheating, and attempts to curb such cheating (whether it exists or not) are seen as further attempts to cheat. This has an ironic implication for the potential effects of Trump's rhetoric: Majorities of Americans already agree with him, at least when their party loses.

LANSING, Mich. — The Michigan Senate approved legislation on Thursday that would establish a workforce engagement plan for certain able-bodied adults receiving taxpayer-funded Medicaid, said Sen. Peter MacGregor, who voted in favor of the bill.
Senate Bill 897 would require able-bodied adults between the ages of 19 and 64 who are receiving Medicaid health benefits to work, receive job training, get an education — or a combination of any of the three — for an average of 29 hours per week.
"This is good public policy that empowers able-bodied Medicaid recipients to break the cycle of dependence and realize their full potential through meaningful employment and self-sufficiency," said MacGregor, R-Rockford. "There is dignity in work, and the benefits of having a job extend beyond the paycheck — people with jobs, and their families, are healthier and happier because of it."
The bill would not apply to seniors, pregnant women, a caretaker of a child under age 6, people with disabilities or their caregivers, the medically frail, residents under age 21 who were in foster care, caretakers of incapacitated people, individuals seeking substance use disorder treatment, those receiving unemployment benefits, ex-prisoners released in the last six months, people with medical conditions that impact their ability to work, and full-time students who are emancipated or whose parents qualify for Medicaid. Temporary "good cause" exemptions would also be afforded.
Additionally, should a county's unemployment rate increases to 8.5 percent, its residents could meet the requirement by looking for a job. The requirement would return once the unemployment rate drops back to 5 percent or less.
"This legislation takes care to protect the safety net and ensures that those who are truly in need are receiving coverage," MacGregor said. "Enacting this bill will also help to make sure that those resources remain available for as long as possible."
SB 897 has been sent to the House of Representatives for consideration.

come in a variety of shapes for example, skull, dolphin, starfish,
rose, wishbone, heart, butterfly, hand of God, and many other innovative
designs. Their height ranges from 4mm to 19mm, which is sufficient for
them to be noticed by people around the wearer. The shapes and the
sterling silver impart a unique look to the earring and bring out the
wearers persona. Such shapes also never go out of fashion.

After the insanity of "living" on three different buses, hopping on and off airplanes, and riding in multiple vehicles this summer, I am finally home. I'm back from all of my travels, and life is finally starting to slow down. After moving so fast for so long, I finally feel like my life is moving at a somewhat regular pace.
Right now, I'm working for my dad on the ranch checking and fixing irrigation equipment. I'm looking for a job, which is difficult, especially in the area I live in. Hopefully something will turn up soon.
I found a yearlong ministry training program in Ireland that I am really interested in participating in. If I apply and I'm accepted, I'll be leaving in August 2015. The cost of the program is a fair chunk of money, so I need to start saving for it now. It is through a mission's organization, so most raise their money through support, but I'm tired of asking for money for trips and programs. If I can get a job, then I can work and save the money, hopefully, without having to ask anyone for anything.
I feel like I'm free falling. Anything can happen. Nothing is set in stone. It is scary but, also, exciting. We'll see what God has planned.

(This post is part of a fundraiser for 826 Boston, a non-profit tutoring and writing center that provides free help to kids at underserved schools. For a donation of $50 or more, readers can get me to write anything about hockey they want, so donate today to make me say stuff by clicking here. I probably don't believe the nonsense below, which was requested by Asmae.)
Not being one to get into saying, "I told you so," (lol) but boy it turns out that Brad Marchand is having another whopper of a season and he's really good and I've been saying it for years.
The thing with saying, "Brad Marchand is good," though, is that you can point to any number of stats you want to validate it, but he just has a large number of people who don't like him and any time you praise him, they fall back to their one dumb defense that will always kinda-work:
"But only because he plays with Bergeron!"
Let's get that out of the way right now, then: Patrice Bergeron is one of the best players alive. I long ago stopped trying to rank which centers were the best in the league in my head, but suffice it to say that Bergeron is one of the five best alive. Don't think there'd be too many people to put up an argument on that front.
But the thing that arises when evaluating the wingers of elite centers is that most elite centers see their wingers change on a regular basis. For example, Sidney Crosby has played at least 100 minutes with Phil Kessel, Chris Kunitz, Patric Hornqvist, Pascal Dupuis, and David Perron this season. Kunitz is his most regular running buddy (poor Sid!) but most other guys bounce off and on his line on a regular basis. You can do this for almost any elite center: Jonathan Toews has played the vast majority of his time in recent years with Marian Hossa, but also Patrick Kane, Artemi Panari, Andew Shaw, Tuevo Teravainen, Andrew Ladd, and even Ryan Garbutt. In all kinds of configurations.
One guy you can't do that with is Bergeron. He's had just 187 minutes at 5-on-5 all year without Brad Marchand (pretty much all of them because Marchand was either suspended or injured), and more than 764.5 with him. Their results are through the roof: An expected goals-for share of 55.4 percent, and the Bruins carry less than 46.1 percent when they're off the ice. Together, they have a corsi-for of 55.4 percent as well, and the Bruins are likewise a mile below that number when they go for a rest.
So much of that has to do with Marchand's skill it's not funny, but those who decided four or five years ago he was trash and haven't paid any attention to the Bruins since then aren't going to be convinced by WOWYs alone.
Here, then is the really crazy number: This season, when Brad Marchand has been away from Bergeron and some stranger has been on his wing, Bergeron has looked… ordinary.
Bergeron without Marchand (187 minutes at 5v5)
xGF%: 48.1
RelCF%: +1.64
RelSF%: -1.31
RelGF%: -12.23
RelxGF%: -0.3
Yo it's almost like…………. Brad Marchand is good? I dunno folks, that's just how it looks to me, your nice friend. He's at 34 goals and 54 points in 68 games this season. How anyone still looks at that and thinks "passenger" is so far beyond me that I'd have to become a Ranger fan to understand it (haha).
At this point he's arguably the second-best player on the Bruins (behind only Bergeron) and no lower than fourth (if you want to be really generous and include both Loui Eriksson and Tuukka Rask). I said I didn't really rank centers any more, but I also can't name four left wings better than Marchand. In no particular order: Jamie Benn, Taylor Hall, Alex Ovechkin, and ___________? Can't come up with one.
This was the case before he pushed 40 goals for the season, of course, but that certainly doesn't hurt the candidacy.
To me, Brad Marchand will always be a champian.

So. Last week's episode was boring, and I hoped this week's would be better, but at least Grady wasn't in it last week.
Guys, I have some bad news.
World's worst nephew and general failure at life, Grady is in Cabot Cove to look after his aunt Jess, who did her back trying to put up storm windows ahead of the imminent Hurricane Ida. Well, I say 'look after' but after a breakfast of tuna omelette and a lunch of tuna surprise, I think the "looking after" bit is more "trying to poison."
JB is not enjoying her current situation, and it isn't helped when Seth turns up to see how she's doing, to warn her that if she's not careful she could be flat on her back for another week, and to give her a present – an emergency buzzer connected to a pager in his jacket. I'm not gonna lie guys, I think this might come up again later. JB begs Seth for food, and he departs to see what he can find.
Later that afternoon, Our Heroine is wide awake and bored. She goes to make a call, but the wires are crossed and instead she can hear two men talking. (Remember when crossed lines happened? Remember when we all called from land lines? REMEMBER ROTARY PHONES!) Anyway, with absolutely nothing better to do JB settles in to listen to the call, and immediately hits paydirt: some guy is demanding more money from some other guy before he'll whack the old guy! Unfortunately for Jess her eavesdropping is cut short when one of her windows blows open (BECAUSE GRADY IS A TOTAL FREAKING FAILURE AT ALL THE THINGS), and by the time Grady appears to shut the window and listen to the call the phone line has died. Seth returns with food and Jess tells him about the murder plot, and that someone needs to call Amos. Seth and Grady pat her on the head and tell her that they'll be sure to tell Amos all about it. A stroke of luck sees the phone come back and Jess calls the operator to see if the crossed line can be traced.
Meanwhile, down at the diner, Amos is cheerfully oblivious to any potential problems – like Brian Blessed's Seafaring Cousin, who saw Amos coming, scarpered out the bathroom window and bolted in his truck. But not before nearly running Grady over, so there's a plus. Grady tells Amos about JB's crazy scheme and Amos tells him not to worry, he'll calm her down.
Literally one second later…
Jess tries to explain the plot to Amos, saying that the killer mentioned using a Mach 4.
"He's going to run him over?" Grady asks, confused.
Amos tells Jess he'll 'get right on it' (winks at Seth) but that "As sheriff and as your friend I promise you – no one is getting murdered in Cabot Cove tonight!"
The next morning, news breaks that local millionaire Jebediah Rogers has been shot to death in his home.
At the crime scene, Seth asks Amos for a humble pie recipe but Amos isn't sold just yet. It's clearly a coincidence. He asks the dead guy's granddaughter Leslie if she heard anything but she tells him she slept through everything, including the storm. Jebediah's first son Morgan arrives to mourn/look through his father's desk, and tells Amos he was home alone working when his father was shot.
Back at home, JB tells Grady that she might out of action but she can still think. (I love it, she's not even pretending to let Amos solve this one). She sends Grady to the crime scene to make a sketch and to report back on any potential shenanigans. You know you've hit rock bottom when sending Grady is your best move.
Grady dutifully goes to the crime scene and sketches away, before bumping into Leslie. She remembers him from a fishing trip they both went on six years earlier (WHY? WHY ARE THESE WOMEN IN LOVE WITH GRADY? THIS IS HURTING MY BRAIN). Leslie tells Grady that she thought something might like this would happen, and that her grandfather had been fighting with her uncles to the point where he was going to change his will. She tells him she has something that will help JB but is called away before she can say what it is.
Adam Rogers, another son of Jeb's wanders in to provide his alibi. He found a nice little cocktail waitress that needed sheltering from the storm *cough hooker cough* and will be more than happy to provide him with an alibi. He takes a look in the same drawer his brother Morgan did, and is equally unhappy to find it empty.
Jess conducts a strategy meeting from the war room (her bed) and tries to convince Amos that the murderer wasn't a burglar, just as Amos tries to convince JB that none of the family has an alibi strong enough to protect them from a hired killer theory. All three brothers were either alone or with shady witnesses (hooker/wife). JB is focussed on the hired gun theory and wonders about any strangers that might have bobbed up in town. Grady has a sudden brainwave (!) and remembers that time Brian Blessed's Seafaring Cousin nearly ran him down outside the diner. Amos and JB do some detecting (well, partially true) and they learn that Brian Blessed's Seafaring Cousin is almost certainly Abel Gorsey, recently released from prison after being caught stealing from Old Man Jebediah.
Adam Rogers wanders in to the Sheriff's Department with Gordon and his wife Dodi to demand a special investigator be brought in to handle the case, but Amos tells them the case is basically solved. They are stunned to learn that Abel Gorsey is almost certainly the killer.
It's not long before Amos has his man cornered at a cabin on Red Hill Bluff. He takes his crack squadron of deputies and a megaphone…and finds Gorsey dead on the ground.
Amos is all set to take the rest of the week off and go fishing but Seth throws it all out when he informs them that Gorsey was killed before Jeb Rogers, making him unlikely to be the murderer. Unless he's a zombie. Which honestly might be true. Back at square one, Amos tells Jess he'll secretly record each of the Rogers's talking to see if any of them might be the raspy voice she heard on the phone. She sends Grady off to see what Leslie has been hiding, which turns out to be a journal her grandfather was keeping including details of the changes he was going to make to his will.
Meanwhile, Amos is doing a bit of highly sophisticated and incredibly subtle wire-wearing.
His covert session is cut short, however, by the arrival of Dodi to inform them that the press have arrived.
Later that night Amos plays the tape for Jess but she doesn't recognise any of the voices. It's not until she hears Gordon on the television, holding the cat, that she realises that his is the voice she heard. Amos promises to call JB the minute Gordon is in custody. Seth drops by with an envelope for Jess from the telephone operator, and Grady offers to help sandbag down at the harbour. Jess tells them all to scoot and is left alone to contemplate her gnawing feeling that something is not quite right. There's no way Gordon killed Abel, but it just seems too unlikely to be an accident.
When JB reads the phone records she realises that Gordon couldn't be the killer of either man. She tries to call Amos but someone cuts the phone. Then the power.
(Honestly, at this point I had all of my fingers crossed for the killer to be a certain person. And I was right).
Always suspect the white cat stroker. Seriously guys, this law is CONCRETE.
ETA: So yeah, the necklace Seth gave Jess back at the start totally came in handy when Dodi tried to shoot JB. I forgot to mention that. Honestly I was mostly muttering "No Mr Bond I expect you to die!" and giggling a bit.

| 20.8°C Dublin
Ireland coach Joe Schmidt has chosen Paddy Jackson over Ian Madigan for the 32-man squad to embark on the three-test tour to South Africa.
It would seem the decision of the Bordeaux-Begles-bound Madigan to move to France has cost him dearly.
However, there are two uncapped men rewarded for their form in Ulster's Seán Reidy and Connacht's Quinn Roux, who will make a return to his homeland, beside CJ Stander and Richardt Strauss.
The Ireland breakdown includes 14 from Leinster, eight from Ulster and five each from Munster and Connacht.
Schmidt will turn an anxious eye towards the PRO12 League final on Saturday in which 13 players will put their bodies on the line.
Leo Cullen will shed seven of his starting pack for the month of June with Tadhg Furlong and Seán Cronin also on the ticket. The timely return to form of Jordi Murphy, signalled by his 22 tackles against Ulster in the PRO12 semi-final, makes him the main beneficiary of the process as Tommy O'Donnell misses out.
Ulster centre Stuart McCloskey losses out to colleagues Stuart Olding and Luke Marshall.
"Touring South Africa will be arduous to say the least so we've attempted to prioritise players who are currently as close to full fitness as possible," said Schmidt.
With that in mind, the following were not considered for selection: Cian Healy, Denis Buckley, Nathan White, Josh van der Flier, Peter O'Mahony, Seán O'Brien, Tommy Bowe, Andrew Conway and Simon Zebo.
Forwards (18): R Best (Ulster, Capt), F Bealham (Connacht), S Cronin (Leinster), U Dillane (Connacht), T Furlong (Leinster), J Heaslip (Leinster), I Henderson (Ulster), D Kilcoyne (Munster), J McGrath (Leinster), J Murphy (Leinster), S Reidy (Ulster)*, M Ross (Leinster), Q Roux (Connacht)*, R Ruddock (Leinster), D Ryan (Munster), CJ Stander (Munster), R Strauss (Leinster), D Toner (Leinster);
Backs (14): K Earls (Munster), L Fitzgerald (Leinster), R Henshaw (Connacht), P Jackson (Ulster), D Kearney (Leinster), R Kearney (Leinster), K Marmion (Connacht), L Marshall (Ulster), C Murray (Munster), S Olding (Ulster), J Payne (Ulster), E Reddan (Leinster), J Sexton (Leinster), A Trimble (Ulster).

I've been meaning to get back into blogging this year now that I'm a full-time theological student again. Starting today I'm going to post weekly insights and reflections from my classes, ministry, or life in general.
For one of my classes this semester I was assigned to develop and articulate my philosophy of ministry, which is a theological and philosophical framework that I would use to focus and guide my ministry. This project has been immensely helpful for me to order everything that I've learned over the last two and a half years. In a sense, I am drawing a line in the sand and declaring, "Here is where I am right now with all things in life. This is what I declare to be what my life and my work is about. So I think this would be a good place to restart my blog.
My philosophy of ministry is ordered into two parts. In the first part, I establish my raison d'etre by explaining the "who, what, why, and how" of my life and my ministry. Since God is at the center of all of life and from him and through him and to him are all things (Rom 11.36), all of these foremost principles relate back to him:
Who: God's Servant
I am a servant of God, created to rule over the earth and cultivate it (Gen 1.28). I am also a new creation in Jesus Christ, redeemed in him to do good works (Eph 2.10). From the onset, my identity is established and determined by God. Thus the meaning of my existence is to live as he created me to live.
What: God's Mission
The grand narrative of the world, humankind, and all of life in general is God's redemptive plan; his mission to redeem and restore a world that is broken by sin. The what of my life; my purpose on earth is to participate in God's own work.
Why: God's Glory
The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever. Even as we participate in God's cosmic redemptive work, our ultimate motivation is the everlasting joy that comes from treasuring Christ and making much of him.
How: God's Character
One of the most crucial lessons that I've learned these last few years is the importance of my own spiritual walk. I am called to lead people firstly by living a life that of repentance and daily renewal in the gospel. "God desires leaders after his own heart".
In the second part, I identify and elaborate on four key ministry values; lessons and insights that I have acquired and incorporated into my ministry and that I consider essential:
The Primacy Of Gospel Proclamation
The chief work of ministry is to proclaim the gospel to all people so that they may repent and be saved in Jesus Christ (Col 1.28). For Christian ministry to be valid, the gospel must be central and it must be a proclaimed message.
Evangelism And Community
Though the proclamation of the gospel is supreme, Christians are called to let their life and conduct testify about Christ. Though we are citizens of another kingdom, we are presently called to be stellar citizens of earth, that God may be praised by how we live (Mt 5.16, 1 Pet 2.12). Jeremiah 29 and Christopher Wright's exposition in his book The Mission Of God's People has been formational to me.
Gospel-Empowered Transformation
We are not only justified by Christ, we are also sanctified by Christ. The gospel is the power that doesn't just save us but also makes us holy. What's been key to helping me see the implications for ministry is Tim Keller and Edmund Clowney's Dmin class, "Preaching Christ In A Post-Modern World", available on iTunes University for free.
Evangelism And Discipleship
The call to make disciples of Jesus is a call that's not just horizontal, but also vertical in dimension. It is the task of ministers to identify, train, and equip the next generation of gospel workers and to entrust them with the message of Christ. It almost goes without saying that this ministry value runs deeply into the core of the GracePoint mission, given that they'd even identify a young, fresh-faced New Yorker and fly him all the way out to Sydney to train him up to serve Christ.
Over the next two months or so, I'll write a separate post for each of the eight topics. It's been an immensely enjoyable project to articulate my philosophy of ministry and clarify for myself where I currently stand. And in the process of doing so, I've come to realize how truly amazing God is, that I can learn all of these things and be so equipped to do his work, for his glory and for my joy. Thank you, God, for your sovereignty and guidance in every step of the way in my life.

Animals have been used in medical research for centuries. In a recent count, it was determined that 8815 animals were being used for research at MSU, 8503 of them were rats, mice, hamsters, and gerbils. The strugle against animal research has been one of the most debatable issues of the decade. Even though most researchers need to do experiments on animals in order to achieve medical advances, animal research should not be allowed because it is cruel and inhumane, it is not always accurate, and often unnecessary.
The first reason why animal research should not be allowed is that testing on animals is cruel and inhumane. According Clifford Sean in his book, "Animal Research", animal right activists have gathered much information that has closed down laboratories that violate anti-cruelty statutes. This includes a 1984 video tape stolen from the University of Pensilvania Head Injury clinic. The video tape involves anesthetized baboons receiving blows to the head to break their necks and cause brain damage.
In the same book Alex Pacheco tells about the conditions he witnessed in a monkey laboratory, and expresses how horrified he was by the painful experiments these monkeys have to go through. In this laboratories young chimpanzees are infected with deseases, put into tiny cages, and left ther for several years. This inhumane treatment should be used on brakers of the law instead of these inocent, unprotected animals. Animal research it's cruel and inhumane, but it's also sometimes inaccurate.
The second reason why animal research should not be allowed is because it's not always accurate. According to Bernard Rollen in his book, "Animal Abuse and Human Morality", scientists in the 1960's concluded from many animal experiments that the inhaled tobacco smoke did not cause lung cancer. We all know that this is totally not...

Cell phone spy software, although, is not a new thing for most of the people today, but there are many who still do not know much about it. In this article, I am going to discuss some of the very important things which you must know about a cell spy software, in case you decide to use such an app for monitoring your kid or any of your employees.
Before I go ahead to explain some other important things, it is quite important to first define what a cell phone spy software is.A cell phone spy software is an application program, which you may use to monitor all the activities a person performs through his smartphone, such as monitoring phone calls, reading messages and emails, and tracking location. These software programs are available for all the popular operating systems such as iOS, Android, Blackberry, and Windows Phone. Moreover, many companies also offer such monitoring apps which also work on iPads and Tablet PCs.
Having defined a spy software in precise words, it will be quite handy if we discuss some of the important aspects of a cell phone spy software.
The first thing is what a cell phone spy software may do. Although the apps available in the market vary a great deal with regard to the features they offer to the end user, there are some of the features which are present in all the popular cell phone monitoring software programs. A cell phone spy software may let you:
- Monitor incoming and outgoing phone calls of the targeted cell phone.
- Intercept live calls, recording the phone calls, and saving the recorded clip over the internet.
- Read text messages and e-mails of the targeted cell phone.
- Access the contacts' database, photos, and videos present on the targeted cell phone.
- Read the calendar entries and appointments noted on the targeted cell phone.
- Monitor the communication made over social media platforms such as Facebook and WhatsApp.
These features are not exhaustive, but are some of the common features which are offered by most of the cell phone monitoring apps available in the market.
Legal matters
Most people think that spying on somebody is not legal at all, while others do not deem it as illegal. The fact is that the rules regarding mobile phone monitoring vary with geographical locations, which means that it is legal to monitor somebody's cell phone in some areas, while it is illegal in some other area. However, you need to make sure two important things if you need to monitor somebody's smartphone:
- You must be the owner of the cell phone you need to monitor.
- You need to acquire written consent of the person you need to monitor.
Remember, monitoring somebody's cell phone without his permission is encroachment in his/her privacy, and is a crime according to the privacy laws prevailing in most of the countries of the world.
Remote installation:
Well, most companies today claim that the apps they offer can be remotely installed on the targeted cell phone. But the reality is that a cell phone spy software cannot be installed on the targeted cell phone from a remote location, and physical access to the targeted mobile is a must. This is due to a number of reasons, some of which are enlisted here:
- Installation process may include such actions which require human interaction, and cannot be performed remotely.
- iPhone needs to be jailbreak and the Android needs to be rooted in case you need to install a cell phone spy software on an iOS or Android smartphone. This, obviously, cannot be done from a remote location.
- Certain configuration steps involved in the installation process may also require human interaction.
So do remember that no valid cell phone monitoring app can be installed on a device from a remote location.
Scam companies:
It is a known fact that many scam companies are also in the business of the cell phone spy software programs. These companies only collect money from you, but do not provide you with any service, or just provide an under-rated service, or provide the said service for a short period of time. Whenever you visit a website of any mobile software, do consider the look of the website. Does the website give a professional look? Does it provide information to you rather than tempting you to buy the software? If yes, then the company is not a scam at all.
Making a choice:
Yes, there are many apps which are available, which vary a great deal with respect to the features offered and the price packages. Before selecting an app, you need to consider that on which operating system you desire to install a cell phone spy software. You may also need to look thatwhich of the features you want in such an app, and more importantly, you need to design your budget in which you need to buy a cell spy app.
Cell phone spy software is one of the latest advancements of the modern era, which if used constructively, can reap a lot of good to you. However, you need to know the important facts mentioned above before you actually decide to buy.

Siphoning oil from the riser
On May 14, three and a half weeks after the leak started, BP engineers inserted a 4-inch-wide pipe into one of the breaks in the riser. Though this smaller tube, a container ship on the surface was able to siphon about 80,000 gallons of oil a day from the well, an amount that turned out to be a small fraction of the daily volume being leaked. After almost one million gallons of oil were captured, the pipe was removed, to make way for …
The "Top Kill"
In an effort to shut down the well entirely, BP employed a strategy called "top kill." The top kill technique involved pumping heavy drilling mud—fluid for cooling, lubricating, cleaning, and controlling the pressure in a drill hole—into the broken blowout preventer at the mouth of the borehole. The drilling mud would hopefully fight the upward pressure of the oil. Once the oil had been stopped, the hole would be filled with cement, to cap it off completely. Unfortunately, after several days, BP announced that the top kill effort attempt had failed, and oil continued to gush from the broken riser.
What's the next step? Keep reading!

It's official. I'm obsessed about my chart and keep trying different ways to analyze it. If I use the advanced setting on fertility friend, I'm 4 DPO and have a low chance at being pregnant this month. If I use the research setting, I'm 7 DPO and chances are high.
Possible pregnancy signs:
Woke up at 1:30 and went to the bathroom
Potential implantation dip at 6 DPO
Countdown to potential test:
Should wait until Fri: 4 days
Impatient testing date on Thurs: 3 days
The chart looks most like last June and Feb as far as temps go. Both were months I was not pregnant.

The Battle of Algiers is a classic movie about the Algerian War.
The topics — insurgency, bombings, terrorism, counterinsurgency, torture — seem strangely poignant and current.
I rate the movie 8/10.
The art of keeping up with yesterday's blogging
It's a classic and seems strangely poignant these days when we are all reading about insurgencies and counterinsurgency.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But copying whole articles without citation is not.
While plagiarism has been there forever, the Internet makes it really easy. At the same time, it makes it easy to find out if someone has copied and pasted your writing and passed it off as their own.
Recently, I found out that Paksir has copied my blog article about global gender attitudes without so much as a hint of where it came from. My comment on his blog to provide a link has gone unanswered for more than two weeks.
Let's look at a more amusing example: Muhammad Imran Latif's portfolio page. I was alerted to the similarities with my About Zack page last year. I tried contacting him, but got no reply. Since then, I have made some minor changes to my about page, so let's compare his description of himself with mine from the wayback machine
|Imran Latif
|My name is Muhammad Imran Latif. I am usually known as Pomy & Imran.
|My name is Zakaria Ajmal. "Zakaria" is a biblical name and hence has different spellings and pronunciations in different languages. I don't mind the different spellings that much, but to make it easy, I am usually known as Zack.
|I am 27 years old and i am originally from Pakistan where I was born and raised. I was living in Daska, the beautiful city, before coming to the Islamabad. I am a Muslim.
|I am 35 years old and am originally from Pakistan where I was born and raised. I was living in Islamabad, the capital city, before coming to the US. Like most of the Pakistani population (97% according to the CIA World Factbook), I am a Muslim.
|I came to the Islamabad 1 years ago and am currently a Web designer and Network administrator Computer field.
|I came to the US 9 years ago and am currently a graduate student in Electrical and Computer Engineering (research interests: computer vision and graphics/animation, video and image analysis, telepresence, etc.) at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, GA.
|Other than research and teaching, I like to plants and gardening. I am also very much interested in economics, information technology teaching, social work, politics and national affairs.
|Other than research and teaching, I like to camp and hike, travel and take photographs with my digital camera. I am also very much interested in science fiction, history, politics and international affairs.
|I got married to Sofia (nickname: Bahaar) on September 5, 2005. We have had a lot of fun together and plan to live together happily ever after.
|I got married to Ambrin (nickname: Amber) on December 1, 1994. We have had a lot of fun together and plan to live together happily ever after.
|On August 29, 2006, a cute Michelle was born to Baahar and me. Nowadays, she is the center of our universe.
|On August 12, 2004, a cute Michelle was born to Amber and me. Nowadays, she is the center of our universe. She has a weblog of her own on which we post her photographs, video clips and milestones etc. If you would like to read her blog, please email me.
How much do you want to bet that Imran's daughter is not actually named Michelle?

Hat tip to the two readers who tipped me off about these two cases.
Juno is a high school girl who becomes pregnant. This is a comedy about that and is a fun watch.
Juno is a comedy about a young girl who gets pregnant and her travails during that time while she and her parents try to arrange an adoption.
It's a fun film with the girl Juno, played by Ellen Page, and her dad, played by J. K. Simmons, doing great work and providing good comedic moments.
I would rate it 8/10.
Rendition and torture have been official US policy since September 11, 2001. How can we find out all the abuses of the Bush administration and end these crimes?
Extraordinary Rendition is defined as:
the extrajudicial transfer of an individual to a country where there is reasonable probability he will be tortured.
Mother Jones (hat tip: Desi Italiana) recounts the renditions carried out by the United States, including those before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
In our research we have counted 67 known cases of extraordinary rendition by the United States since 1995. While the details are often incomplete, they help paint a more complete picture of this secretive and controversial Central Intelligence Agency program.
[…] Then-CIA director George Tenet testified before the 9/11 Commission that there were more than 80 renditions before September 11, 2001. We found information on 29 cases of extraordinary and ordinary rendition prior to 9/11. Of the 14 that qualify as extraordinary renditions, 12 were to Egypt.
[…] We found information on 117 renditions that have occurred since September 11, 2001. When we excluded renditions to Afghanistan, CIA secret prisons (or "black sites"), Guantanamo, or American custody, we found 53 cases of extraordinary rendition. All individuals for whom the rendition destination is known were sent to countries that have been criticized by the State Department's annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, which document "torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment."
Of these 53 prisoners, more than one quarter have explicitly claimed that they were tortured while in foreign custody; four claim they were tortured while passing through American custody either en route to or following foreign custody. Four others may have been tortured while in foreign custody based on secondhand accounts or vague descriptions of treatment in prisons in their destination countries. Sixteen of the 53 individuals have been released after extraordinary renditions, and half of them claimed they were tortured while in foreign custody; two claim they were tortured while in American custody.
These renditions, which started in the Clinton era, resulted in torture by states that were well-known to use torture in their interrogations.
For hours, the words come pouring out of Abu Omar as he describes his years of torture at the hands of Egypt's security services. Spreading his arms in a crucifixion position, he demonstrates how he was tied to a metal door as shocks were administered to his nipples and genitals. His legs tremble as he describes how he was twice raped. He mentions, almost casually, the hearing loss in his left ear from the beatings, and how he still wakes up at night screaming, takes tranquilizers, finds it hard to concentrate, and has unspecified "problems with my wife at home." He is, in short, a broken man.
Torture is not just something we have outsourced to countries like Egypt. Instead, after the September 11 attacks, the Bush administration has issued legal opinions declaring torture okay. John Yoo of the Office of Legal Counsel wrote a memo in August 2002 and another one in March 2003, basically declaring an imperial Presidency that had the power to declare torture legal if it felt like it.
Torture was discussed and approved at the highest levels of the government.
In dozens of top-secret talks and meetings in the White House, the most senior Bush administration officials discussed and approved specific details of how high-value al Qaeda suspects would be interrogated by the Central Intelligence Agency, sources tell ABC News.
[…] The high-level discussions about these "enhanced interrogation techniques" were so detailed, these sources said, some of the interrogation sessions were almost choreographed — down to the number of times CIA agents could use a specific tactic.
The advisers were members of the National Security Council's Principals Committee, a select group of senior officials who met frequently to advise President Bush on issues of national security policy.
At the time, the Principals Committee included Vice President Cheney, former National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Colin Powell, as well as CIA Director George Tenet and Attorney General John Ashcroft.
As the national security adviser, Rice chaired the meetings, which took place in the White House Situation Room and were typically attended by most of the principals or their deputies.
And Bush approved of these torture policies.
In a stunning admission to ABC news Friday night, President Bush declared that he knew his top national security advisers discussed and approved specific details of the CIA's use of torture. Bush reportedly told ABC, "I'm aware our national security team met on this issue. And I approved." Bush also defended the use of waterboarding.
ACLU suggests that we should demand accountability from Congress and I urge you to send a letter to your Congressman right now.
The Bush administration is still using the euphemism of "enhanced interrogation techniques" for torture and claiming that the CIA is allowed to use these methods.
The Justice Department has told Congress that American intelligence operatives attempting to thwart terrorist attacks can legally use interrogation methods that might otherwise be prohibited under international law.
The legal interpretation, outlined in recent letters, sheds new light on the still-secret rules for interrogations by the Central Intelligence Agency. It shows that the administration is arguing that the boundaries for interrogations should be subject to some latitude, even under an executive order issued last summer that President Bush said meant that the C.I.A. would comply with international strictures against harsh treatment of detainees.
While the Geneva Conventions prohibit "outrages upon personal dignity," a letter sent by the Justice Department to Congress on March 5 makes clear that the administration has not drawn a precise line in deciding which interrogation methods would violate that standard, and is reserving the right to make case-by-case judgments.
"The fact that an act is undertaken to prevent a threatened terrorist attack, rather than for the purpose of humiliation or abuse, would be relevant to a reasonable observer in measuring the outrageousness of the act," said Brian A. Benczkowski, a deputy assistant attorney general, in the letter, which had not previously been made public.
The rot in the state is widespread. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia likes to excuse torture for the purpose of thwarting terrorist attacks and Republican Presidential candidate Senator John McCain, while an opponent of tortute, voted against prohibiting torture by the CIA, despite the fact that he was tortured by using stress positions by the North Vietnamese when he was a prisoner of war.
May be Congress can get the 7,000 documents relating to torture and rendition that the CIA is unwilling to release and make them public and the next administration can untie the hands of the FBI and get it to investigate these abuses.
A good crime movie in which the killer is inspired by the seven deadly sins.
Se7en is a movie about a serial killer who is inspired by the seven deadly sins which are:
It's a good movie in which Kevin Spacey as the killer and Morgan Freeman as the retiring police detective are very good. Brad Pitt as the new detective is okay.
I rate the movie 8/10 despite the fact that I had a good idea how it was ending.
While a GPS receiver doesn't compare to a wife, it's probably better for navigation purposes.

Full-frame mirrorless vs. full-frame DSLR: what's best?
Which is better, a traditional full-frame DSLR or the new mirrorless full-frame Canon EOS R System? We asked leading extreme sports photographer and Canon Ambassador Richard Walch for his Canon full-frame comparison.
Richard Walch is one of the world's most experienced action photographers. He has been using Canon cameras professionally for more than 25 years. Best known for his snow sports and sailing images, Richard works in the most extreme environments on fast-moving shoots where failing to get the shot is not an option. That's why he chooses the right camera for each job.
"Before I go on each job, I work out which is the perfect camera system for me to take," he explains. "For full-frame DSLR, Canon has a huge range of bodies and lenses to choose from. I love the rugged quality and the great battery life."
But Richard is at the top of his game because he is always looking for the edge to take his images to the next level. And right now, for some assignments, that edge is the new technology in the Canon EOS R System and its groundbreaking RF lenses.
"I depend on technology – I see it as supporting what I'm trying to do with my images. The Canon EOS R has definitely earned a place in my bag and is exciting to work with," Richard says. "Once you get past just checking the spec sheets and start to use the camera, you realise it has features that can move your creativity forward."
"For me the best images are spontaneous, and the EOS R gives you stunning full-frame quality in a package that's super portable. But you can't forget Canon has worked on the EOS DSLR range for 30 years. They are super reliable and built tough. So now I have a choice."
So how does he choose? What's the difference between full-frame DSLRs and the mirrorless full-frame EOS R System? From his expert perspective, what benefits does each offer, and when would he use one rather than the other?

Comment by Adrian Gosling
I am building a Cyclekart which is a 65% scale replica of the GP Renault that won the 1906 French GP. I know there is one going to the show (a replica but with all the right parts (mostly) so just can't wait. Wow! But its pricey.I have just finished the wooden spoked wheels which look really good and I am looking around for the right tyres now (on 17" rims). They will be white too.Chassis is almost made now and the springs were made by 'Jones Springs' in Birmingham (England) for 40 pound each. Very busy at work just now.

Yoga! What is Yoga? Yoga, is a Hindu spiritual and ascetic discipline, a part of which, includes breath control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures, it is to be practiced for health and relaxation.
We all are well aware of the benefits of Yoga. Yoga increases flexibility and reduces stress, but the practice can do more than help you twist your body and find inner peace. These hidden benefits will help you in the kitchen, office and bedroom – here are five reasons you must take up to Yoga, if you still have not:
- Boosts Immunity: Other than simply increasing overall wellness and health levels a recent study found that yoga practice results in changes in the gene expression that boost immunity at a cellular level.
- Ease Migraines: The cause of migraine isn't fully understood, it is a combination of mental stress and physical misalignment that can be a result of hunching over a computer or cell phone with your shoulders up and head forward. A few studies show that migraine sufferers have fewer and less painful migraines after three months of yoga practice.
- Sleep Better: Researchers from Harvard found that eight weeks of daily yoga significantly improved sleep quality for people with insomnia. Breathing and mental exercises allow the mind to slow down, so when the mind rests, you sleep better.
- Fights Food Cravings: By causing breath awareness, regular yoga practice strengthens the mind-body connection. This awareness can help you tune your emotions for certain cravings, and yoga breathing exercises can help you slow down and make better choices when cravings strike.
So either wake up 20 minutes earlier in the morning or spend 20 minutes before you sleep to practice Yoga for a more focused and peaceful day (or sleep) ahead of you…
