Can you believe this? A raid against women wearing boots! Well believing will be easier when you know that for the occasion of international Human rights Day (10th of December), an Iranian governmental official said that International deceleration of Human rights doesn’t fit with Islamic rules! (Roozonline, Persian) So he thinks that the deceleration should be reviewed and those about Women rights should be changed to fit the Islamic rules, So much for all those trying to say that human rights and Islam are not in contrast.

The first Biodiesel powered Jet:
Scientific Americal: A 1968 L-29 Czechoslovakian jet—dubbed BioJet 1—flew up to 17,000 feet
(5,180 meters) over 37 minutes powered 100% on cooking oil. A three minute, 15-second test the day
before was the world’s first flight entirely fueled by cooking oil.
Talking about Fuel and alternative energy sources, in Nature collections, you can find Energy collections (Accessible for free), which is a collection of articles on different sources of energy. I’m sure you can find useful information there. These collections are really valuable one just has to find the time and surf through them.

Restored hope in Poland

Poland’s liberal opposition Civic Platform party has won a massive poll victory, ousting Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski’s conservatives. Congratulations to my Polish friends!
Lech Kaczynski, is Poland’s president and does not face an election until 2010. I reckon it is going to be 3 difficult years for him!
Mr. Tusk, has thanked everyone that “helped restore hope between Poles”.
