From Caesar's Death to Jesus' Birthon Saturday, January 19, 2013
From Caesar's Death to Jesus' Birth
By Scott Rohter, July 2012
Alexander the Great, Ptolemy, Julius Caesar, Brutus, Antony and Cleopatra, and Caesar Augustus all had something in common. What is it that unites all of these famous historic figures?… They all lived during a very brief period of time before the birth of Jesus Christ. So many things happened during those forty tumultuous years between the death of Julius Caesar in 44B.C. and the birth of Jesus Christ roughly around 4 B.C. No other time in history is quite as significant. So many world changing events which altered the course of history unfolded during those critical years between the murder of Rome's first emperor, and the birth or the world's one and only Savior. So much of human history was determined between that royal assassination and the very humble beginnings in a little manger, of a child born to a young Jewish woman in a remote town, of an unimportant province of the far-flung Roman Empire.
It was such a pivotal time in human history and in the development of not just western civilization, but of all civilization on earth. In just a little less than forty years, within a single generation, the span of one man's life, Julius Caesar was murdered and Rome was plunged into a long civil war, a war which lasted for over ten years and one which took Rome very far from its early Republican moorings. This long struggle for control of the Roman Empire became a very personal fight to the finish between two military strongmen, who were both former allies of Julius Cesar. One was Caesar's friend and strongest military commander Mark Antony, and the other was Caesar's nephew Octavian.
Mark Antony quickly formed a strategic alliance with the mother of one of Julius Caesar's sons and heirs. This was the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra. She was actually Cleopatra VII. The name Cleopatra just like the name Caesar was actually the name of an entire dynasty of Egyptian Queens. But this particular Cleopatra, the one who Mark Antony fell in love with, was actually the last Cleopatra to rule Egypt. She was also the last in a long line of descendants of one of Alexander the Great's generals. This general's name was Ptolemy. Cleopatra was the last of the Ptolemys to rule the land of the Nile. With her death by suicide in 30 B.C., the rule of Egypt by the descendants of Ptolemy came to a fatal end. Cleopatra VII was the last in a long line of Greek-Macedonian rulers who sat upon the throne of Egypt after Alexander's armies had defeated their Persian overlords and after Alexander had died.
Young Alexander the Great's death was swift and unexpected. He left no specific instructions as to how his vast territories were to be administered after his untimely demise. Ptolemy was one of Alexander's strongest generals. He seized Egypt for himself. At the same time he honored Alexander's plans to build a great new capitol city for Egypt on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea which he named after his beloved leader. So Ptolemy finished building the city that Alexander had started. He built it on a grand scale to be the finest city of its day. He named it Alexandria. Today it is still referred to in Arabic as El Iskandaria, the City of Alexander the Great.
Ptolemy started a dynasty of Greek-Macedonian rulers who would go on to rule Egypt for over three hundred years. This dynasty culminated in the death by suicide of Cleopatra VII in 30 B.C. This was the same Cleopatra who made a strategic alliance with Mark Antony who later went on to become the father of three of her four children.
Here is a little more background about the last Cleopatra. She was the daughter of Ptolemy XI. After a bitter family rivalry between her and her younger brother broke out into a full-fledged internecine struggle for power between her and Egyptian forces aligned with her younger brother, Julius Caesar had to have her restored to the Egyptian throne and to her queenly status as the sole Pharaoh of Egypt. But for two years between 46 B.C. and 44 B.C. Cleopatra lived with Julius Caesar in Rome where she gave birth to his son. This only child of Caesar and Cleopatra was a sore spot for the Roman people who didn't want any child of an Egyptian queen ruling over Rome. So after Julius Caesar's death in 44 B.C. Cleopatra returned to Egypt where she had her own brother put to death in order that her son by Julius Caesar could be the joint ruler of Egypt with her.
Just two years later in 42 B.C. Cleopatra met Mark Antony in Tarsus of all places which is in present day Turkey. Tarsus was the birthplace of another famous person, the Apostle Paul who is credited with writing much of the New Testament which changed the world. He was also one of the principle leaders of the early Christian Church. Paul was born in Tarsus only a mere twenty or thirty years after that fateful meeting between Cleopatra and Mark Antony.
Mark Antony immediately fell in love with the very persuasive Egyptian Queen and together they formed a strategic alliance to challenge Octavian's right to rule Rome. She was still the mother of Caesar's heir apparent, and Mark Anthony was Caesar's ambitious friend and trusted military commander. Together they hoped to defeat the combined forces of Octavian, who was Caesar's nephew, and to jointly rule Rome. Anthony needed Egypt's help in order to do this. Egypt furnished his army with ships, and grain to feed his soldiers, and money to pay them. In return Cleopatra wanted a stronger role for Egypt in the re-organized Roman Empire. Her long term goal was exactly the same as it always had been. She wanted to jointly rule Rome one day as Mark Antony's Queen, in just the same way that she had hoped to do before as Julius Caesar's Queen before his murder. To make matters even more complicated Marc Antony was already married to Octavian's sister whom he left for Cleopatra.
It was the shrewd and wily Cleopatra who turned Mark Antony's eyes and heart away from his wife Octavia, and lured him to form an allegiance and a personal relationship with her. Octavia was the sister of Octavian, the man who would eventually rule Rome one day, but who was then locked in a struggle to the death with Mark Antony over Rome's future. The abandonment of his sister did nothing to reduce the animosity or calm the tensions that already existed between these two fierce rivals. The tensions Octavian and Antony eventually culminated in the battle of Actium in 31 B.C. with the complete military defeat of the forces that were aligned with Antony and Cleopatra along the western coast of Greece.
Later, after hearing rumors that were deliberately spread by his beloved Cleopatra of her death, Mark Antony took his own life by the sword before the advancing legions of Roman soldiers who were led by Octavian. However just before he died, he learned that Cleopatra was actually still alive, and he asked to be taken to her where it is said that he died in her arms.
Now with Mark Antony gone and conveniently out of the way, the wily Cleopatra sought to entice the victorious Octavian by offering herself to him in much the same way that she had done with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. She tried to use her considerable charm to forge an alliance with Octavian, but it was to no avail. So rather than be humiliated before her enemies she decided to really commit suicide this time before Octavian's advancing armies could find her. This was about ten days after Mark Antony had taken his own life.
When Octavian finally entered the royal Egyptian city and the royal quarters in August of 30 B.C. he found that they had both committed suicide, one by the sword and the other by poisoning about ten days apart. The last Pharaoh Queen of Egypt and the last of the Ptolemys to rule the land of the Nile was only 39 years old at the time of her death by poisoning. This was in the year 30 B.C., only a mere twenty five years before the birth of Jesus Christ in a little Jewish town only a few hundred miles away.
The tumultuous events of those forty years between 44 B.C. and 4 B.C. when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea set the stage for even greater cataclysmic upheavals during the next seventy years! Jesus would be crucified and his death and life would go on to give birth to one of the world's three great faiths which is Christianity. The ancient Jewish Kingdoms of Judea and Samaria were destroyed in 70 A.D. by Roman Legions under the command of the next Emperor of Rome who was Titus, and the surviving Jewish inhabitants would be scattered all over the Greek and Roman world. In the absence of any significant numbers of Jews in the Middle East the world stage was set for the spread of another great religion, Islam.
The expulsion of the Jews from their homeland in 70 A.D. resulted in a worldwide Diaspora of millions of displaced persons and set the conditions for the following world wide events.
1) The Spanish Inquisition in the 15th Century led to the confiscation of Jewish property by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain which provided a financial way to finance the voyages of Christopher Columbus to the New World. Those voyages resulted in the discovery of America.
2) The subsequent maritime competition between England and Spain for supremacy on the high seas led to the eventual formation of the far flung British Empire.
3) The Nazi Holocaust.
4) The centuries long hostility that has always existed between Islam and the other two Abrahamic faiths which has resulted in the current War on Terror.
The origin of all of these events can be traced back to the events that occurred between about 4 B.C. and 70 A.D.

PLAYERS: Marco Belinelli, Joakim Noah

TEAMS: Chicago Bulls
Chicago Bulls analyst Stacey King is certainly one of the more colorful, entertaining analysts in the NBA. With the game tied in the final seconds against the Pistons Wednesday night, Marco Belinelli scored the winning basket after an incredible hustle play from Joakim Noah. As the ball goes through the hoop, King flips his lid and shouts, "I LIKE MY MEATBALLS SPICY!" Ah yes, Belinelli is Italian and spicy meatballs are associated with Italian cuisine. I usually enjoy King's antics, but I'm hesitant about embracing ethnically based announcing calls. Not because I'm outraged and wildly offended, but because it's just too easy. Although it would be nice to include this on the Stacey King soundboard for random occurrences. It fits well with "GIVE ME THE HOT SAUCE!" (H/T SB Nation)

We purchased this lamp for an open space with high ceilings. It has taken some time to get used to and we have moved it several times trying to integrate it into our space more effectively. It was tricky to assemble and we probably wouldn't have chosen this lamp if we had known what the switch looks like. As far as quality of materials, it is fine (exception noted--the switch). The price is also very reasonable and fair. Base is filled with sand and can be difficult to move.

CUR down 19%
BCLI up 24%
This is not to bash CUR, but to merely point out what an idiot golf.paul is....not that that really needed pointing out.
Take a look at the morons posts on other boards - he couldn't pick a winner if it was stapled to his forehead. He keeps picking losing stocks and he's butt hurt that he didn't get into BCLI.
Bwahahahahahaha...indeed. Quite possibly the worst call in Yahoo history.
today. Figured we'd see this after being stagnant for a while. Happy to sit tight on my rather large nest egg for as long as it takes though.
Make that - CUR down 25.5%
Not letting post the link. Go to google finance, search BCLI - look at the news links for BCLI.
They are working - they are making a difference - from hemorrhoids to heart attacks. I'll know when this board goes back to actually talking about Boeing and it's stock that the last of the extreme whiners has finally grabbed their chest and died. I feel sorry for your friends and family who actually have to live with you..."Yeah it was time for him/her to go...alls he/she did was rant about the Dems/Repubs 24/7 anyway".
It wouldn't surprise me at all if it was a knee jerk reaction to the emergency slide deployment on the United Airlines flight. Sure seems people wanna slap this thing down on the flimsiest of "news". I think the powers that be are in control and they are having a shorting heyday.
Sabby Capital
Published: July 1, 2014 at 2:54 pm
In a recent move, Mintz has initiated a significant new position in Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc (OTCBB:BCLI). Sabby Capital has reported ownership of 22 million shares or 9.79% of the company's common stock.
Ha - CUR is down 16% the past month and sinking lower every day. Yet another great call by golf.paul. Aren't you getting a little embarrassed by these blown calls Paul? It's okay though, I'm pretty sure you are used to being pointed and laughed at.
Canada, via eTeligis Inc., 06/27/2014 - - BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: BCLI), a leading developer of adult stem cell technologies for neurodegenerative diseases, and Octane Biotech Inc., a Canadian firm that focuses on clinical systems for cell and tissue therapy, announced today that they have reachedan important milestone in their technology collaboration, successfully constructing an Alpha prototype of a customized bioreactor for BrainStorm's NurOwn neurotrophic-factor secreting mesenchymal stem cells.The proprietary bioreactor under development will provide BrainStorm with large-scale manufacturing capabilities, enabling it to achieve economies of scale for its autologous stem cell product.
I especially like the "Large-scale manufacturing capabilities" part...
Note: The story is for Sabby's new stake in RIBT, but as part of that story the mention the BCLI position.
Was hoping we'd get through 38 today, but oh well, I've got nothing but time. Happy 4th everyone!
Soap, rinse, repeat...
Should show tomorrow...
a leading maker of bioplastic food service disposables, will pay $2.6 million for substantially all of Cereplast's assets including production equipment, patents, inventory, and trademarks, plus pay certain contract cure costs, as part of Cereplast's Chapter 7 liquidation proceedings. United States Bankruptcy Judge Basil H. Lorch III entered the sale order today for the assets of Cereplast, including its former Seymour bioplastics factory.
You know what would be refreshing? If you would just come out straight and say why you are so butt hurt over this company because I gotta tell ya, there is not a person on this planet that actually thinks you are doing it in order to "help". And one more thing - NOBODY buys or sells a stock based on the comments of some moron on a yahoo message board. Nobody gives a rats #$%$ about your opinion. Facts and data are all people care about...and you present none. Although you are right about 80% of biopharms failing - that's just how it is. But with that in mind, why are you not saving all those other poor #$%$ too?

Please let me know where you went to have it done.. I am looking to get mine done soon and I do not want to go to the same place since I am in the area.. Sorry you had a bad experience. I heard that results can depend on how experienced the plastic surgeon is. Thanks!

hade Juvederm today. Results are supposed to be "immediate" but i am not quite sure what that means. is that a good thing? Thus far, it has been 6 hours and the results are bumps and ridges protruding from my face. So i do not wish to go outside looking like this. It looks like someone punched me with the swelling, but I took Arnica Montana every 6 hours starting from yesterday and used ice packs, so i have NO bruising whatsoever, so that is a good thing. But I hope the swelling goes down soon. Especially since I am flying out of town tomorrow. I want to look professional, not look like I was bopped upside my head.

Many Mid-Michigan school children probably felt anxious about returning to school today in the wake of Friday's school massacre in Connecticut.
Some districts took the time this morning to talk over security at their schools following the tragedy. One of those districts was Saginaw Township Community Schools (STCS).
"It appears that everything has been calm, if individual students are having concerns our teachers and principals will deal with it," said Tony Skowronski, Human Resources director at STCS.
Besides providing help for students who might need it today, the district said it prepares for situations like the shootings in Newtown on a regular basis.
"We have monthly drills on a variety of safety situations and we have, as I've talked about, a critical incident management protocol that has been set up across the county," said Skowronski.
Part of the security plan features a liason officer from the Saginaw Township Police Department. "It has been in existence for about 20 years, and it's a great program because we have a police officer assigned to the high school on a security basis who gets to know students on a personal basis," said Saginaw Township Police Chief Don Pussehl.
School district officials in Midland and Bay City also told WNEM TV-5 they will closely keep tabs on what happens security-wise in Newtown, CT in the wake of the tragedy there.

Jan Magnussen of Denmark came into F1 on the crest of a wave, rated as the finest winner of the prestigious British F3 title since a man by the name of Ayrton Senna.
It didn't quite turn out that way as Magnussen failed to build on a one-race fill-in role with McLaren in 1995 when he was named as partner to Rubens Barrichello in the new-for-1997 Stewart Grand Prix team.

Nashville, TNUSA 37206
January 6, 2013
New to Nashville and serious hiking, but my dog and I would love to start exploring the area's lovely outdoors.
Recommended by other Meetup clubs I looked into joining.
We need to do more like this hike for "beginner's." I can't keep up with any of the other hikes, and nor do I really want to. I want to hike for fun and fresh air and conversation, not to race through the trails. Loved this hike, will definitely do it again.
Great to meet you Sarah... enjoyed our discussions last night
Nice to meet you last night!

Three years after A Boy Named Charlie Brown (1969), Charles Schulz's beloved "Peanuts" characters hit the big screen again in the enjoyable Snoopy, Come Home. This time, everyone's favorite beagle turns the kids' world upside down when he receives a mysterious letter from a girl named Lila and hits the road with best friend Woodstock, evading sadistic would-be pet owner and other perils along the way. Meanwhile, Charlie Brown is left to wonder: Who is Lila, and will Snoopy ever return? Snoopy, Come Home still holds up well for kids of all ages, though the mod opening sequence and snappy songs by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and other Disney films) are unmistakably from the '70s. Vince Guaraldi's jazzy music is missed, but Thurl Ravenscroft, best known for "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" and the laugh of the Jolly Green Giant, lends his basso profundo to the persistent "No dogs allowed!" (All ages: minor cartoon violence). --David Horiuchi

Did you make a guess at this week's Access Points photo game? Maybe quietly, without saying so in the comments? It showed original fixtures inside the Superb, a Pullman car at the Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth.
If you've been inside the train car and noticed the metal work at all — it runs along the sides, and appears in the lower left corner of this photo — it would be because they look quite ornate, and very old.
And it is old: this Pullman car was built in 1911. President Woodrow Wilson campaigned in it, but it's far more famous for the journey it took with President Warren Harding's during a 1923 trip across the United States.
It was luxurious, offering five bedrooms for passengers and space for a two-person crew. Steam heat came from behind those fancy vents, and there was air conditioning provided by ice blocks.
Harding set off from Washington, D.C. in June, and used a public address system and broadcast transmitter installed on the train at stops along his western journey.
Once he was off the train, he made a short side trip by boat to Alaska, then returned to California, where, on Aug. 2, was rushed to a hospital in San Francisco. He died of a heart attack there, just two years into his presidency.
The next day, his body and casket were loaded back onto the Superb to make the journey back to Washington. People lined the tracks to pay their respects on his last journey back to D.C., and then to Marion, Ohio, for this burial.
The car went on to be used for other journeys, and was updated along the way with tile showers and electric lights. It was used a rolling office car for several railroads before it came to the Southeastern Railway Museum decades ago.
The Museum expected to get a different car from the Seaboard Coast Line, but it was too difficult to transport to Duluth, home of the state's official transportation museum
Instead, the museum landed a railroad car that's on the National Register of Historic Places. It's listed under "Superb."
Want to go? Southeastern Railway Museum, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, April through December, Saturdays only January through March. $8, $6 for people ages 65 and older, $4 for people ages 2-12, free for people younger than 2. 3595 Buford Highway, Duluth. 770-476-2013, www.srmduluth.org.

By exploring the space between modern typographic design and the techniques utilized in wood type display typography we present the Would Type experiments. These experiments will focus on creating typography designed specifically for polymer plates used in modern letterpress printing. Howard is (hopefully) the first of a series of these typographic experiments that we are cultivating here at The Workshop.
Some of the more elaborate wood type designs would incorporate different levels of light and shade, creating accents, bevels, embosses and drop shadows. The erudite craftsmanship of such faces gives an inherent charm and flair. Often, modern typeface lacks this craftsmanship and thus lacks this inherent charm and flair (though there are a few notableexceptions). By cutting into block areas with different line work, hatches and cross hatches the designers and creators of the wood type would give form and shape to the flat printed face; echoing the depth and sculptural form of the wooden blocks from which they came.
So far, Howard is just a proof of concept based on Hoefler & Frere-Jones' Gotham. It uses the simple technique of a dot pattern to create a lighter surface. The regular filled area becomes the shadow, giving the typeface a 3rd dimension. Designed with letterpress in mind, Howard also gives dimension and texture to the paper. The negative space in the dot pattern will appear to sit higher on the paper and the block areas will appear to press deeper.
Well, that's theory at least. Below you will find a link to an archive containing a working EPS file and a PDF of samples of the beta design of Howard. This is an initial, unrefined release. It's not perfect!
In the coming months we will be testing the the type on our press and refining the design. In the meantime, feel free to download and play around with the EPS. If you create something with it, let us know. If we like it we might even print it for you.
The words in the example above are lovingly lifted from Shadows of Tomorrow.
