The Power of Moses 22 December 2014
The story of Moses is told and retold through the generations, the most recent incarnation being Ridley Scott's 'Exodus: Gods and Kings'. Joseph Adams explores the heroic nature and universal appeal of this timeless tale.
'So let it be written, so let it be done.' These words are almost sacred. They may echo the Bible, but they belong to the film The Ten Commandments.
It was director Cecil DeMille's most enduring work, and the first true epic movie. With a budget of $13 million and a cast of thousands, it redefined the movie industry and created a classic. Its production values are so high, I find it difficult to believe the film was shot nearly sixty years ago.
Since then however, the story of Moses has been retold several times over on the big screen and the small, not to mention countless operas from Moses und Aron to Moses in Egypt. Director Ridley Scott is releasing the latest incarnation of the story of Moses in November with Exodus: Gods and Kings. It is the latest in a series of Biblical movies released, and the latest in a long line that explore the story of Moses.
But what makes Moses so compelling? Why is the story so powerful? Why do we return to it time and time again, in countless mediums?
A Hero Rises
In 1949, Joseph Campbell, noted scholar of mythology and religion, wrote one of his most celebrated works, The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Inside, he details what he believes to be the most basic pattern which structures countless epic stories of heroism, the 'monomyth'. Campbell particularly draws on the story of Moses, which he cites as an example of archetypal monomyth. There is a Call to Adventure, a Supernatural Aid, a moment of darkness (or Belly of the Whale), a Return and a final Mastery and Freedom which is attained by the hero at the end. Proponents of the monomyth argue it is as applicable to Star Wars as it is the Book of Exodus.
Moses in this narrative, plays the archetypal hero upon which many more are based. The Children of Israel's slavery in Egypt is poignant and relatable for many. Their salvation comes not from some outside force, but one of their own – a child of Israel, raised in the House of Pharaoh, but one of them nonetheless. He embodies the hope of resistance and freedom.
Whether we're talking Harry Potter or Luke Skywalker, the hero is often found in unexpected places with an unexpected upbringing. Moses is born amongst royalty, raised as royalty, and treated as such – yet discovers his heritage is from the lowest echelons of society – the slaves – and becomes their hero. A motif that is familiar to many, and perhaps has its most recent retelling in the The Dark Knight trilogy.
Following his call to Prophethood and talking to God, Moses takes on a new role. Empowered, yet shaken by his experience, he is sent to challenge Pharaoh. He is given supernatural aid – a magical staff – and a newfound courage in his mission. Sound familiar? Many hero stories include a similar moment of revelation; it is the essential stuff of the hero story, Campbell argues. For those familiar with the superhero genre, the discovery of a character's superpowers (whether caused by a spider bite as in Spiderman or a special serum as in Captain America) is an integral part of the hero mythos.
A supernatural aid is often common too (in Star Wars, it is the light sabre, in Harry Potter, the wand). Our hero is given the tools he or she needs to achieve their potential and reach their goal.
Moses is perhaps the first hero of Western literature. Every incarnation of the monomyth in some way draws inspiration from the Book of the Exodus and the place of the Bible in Western canon. It is unsurprising then that storytellers in all genres feel pulled back to retell the original story.
The Villain
Yet I don't believe the monomyth is the only reason the story of Moses is so captivating. Often the power of a good story lies in its villain. In Pharaoh, we're presented with a Biblical villain that is neither hollow nor empty. He is a tyrant, and rules over his people with hubris and pretension. A good villain's fame can sometimes outstrip that of the hero (think The Joker or Darth Vader), just as Moses presents us with the archetypal hero, Pharaoh is an archetypal villain.
His confrontations with Moses present us with a figure that is full of self-confidence and self-belief. Pharaoh stands resolute against the plagues of Egypt that would clearly have shaken lesser men, we're repulsed by Pharaoh's delusions but cannot help but admire his indefatigability. In the Islamic narrative, the hubris of the Pharaoh is often represented as being almost unique in human history. An old saying found in the Arabic canon highlights that "God sent most Prophets to entire nations, but he sent Moses and Aaron to a single person". Aaron also being considered a Prophet makes the Pharaoh unique in being addressed by two divine messengers.
The villain of the Pharaoh is also one that echoes through the ages. The modern allusions are clear. When the Arab Spring led to a series of protests across the Middle East and North Africa, Pharaoh was repeatedly used to represent various tyrant rulers, whether Gaddafi in Libya, Assad in Syria or of course, Mubarak in Egypt. Egypt is once again under the control of the military despite the revolution, and many Egyptians turned to the story of Moses in the Quran for reassurance – the Pharaoh withstood the plagues, and the military has withstood the revolution, but villains always fall.
The timelessness of the Pharaoh is no doubt why we keep returning to Moses and the Israelites – Pharaoh embodies all that we despise and admire most in humanity
Moses' journey also presents, with brutal honesty, a story of failure. It is perhaps one of the most alluring aspects of the Biblical story that there is no fairy-tale ending. We are repeatedly confronted by human fallibility, represented most powerfully through the Children of Israel and Moses' fraught relationship with them. Tasked with not only their physical rescue from the Pharaoh, but also their moral salvation, Moses is shown to be full of rebuke for the Israelites.
This failure is shown powerfully when the Israelites turn to the worship of the Golden Calf in Moses' absence. Moses' own period of sanctity on Mount Sinai is contrasted with the slow descent of the Israelites into lewd ecstatic worship. Some Biblical commentators consider it an analogy for the tension between mystical charismatic worship and pious obedience in religion, others see the scene as representative of the clash between the visual and the transcendent. The multiplicity of understandings is no doubt part of the reason the image of the Golden Calf is so enduring. Yet this moment comes after the great victory of Moses over the Pharaoh, and the miracle of the Red Sea crossing.
The story of Moses might end after the Red Sea crossing if it were a modern epic. Moses and his people, finally free, a few months away from the Promised Land – all's well at last. Yet the Book of Exodus continues. The Israelites fail (and fail abysmally) and spend forty years in the Sinai. It is this lack of 'Happy Ever After' which lends the narrative credibility and gravity. The pain of living with the decisions made, battles won or lost, and former glories, is often the stuff of life itself. The story of Moses presents it to us clearly.
Truth or Fiction
It is an incredibly modern concern to ask whether the story of Moses actually took place. Those who ask the question are often concerned with a particular type of truth, and risk missing the wider truths that stories can tell us. Biblical archaeology however is not absent on the debate. There was of course an Ancient Israel, and the Exodus is in most cases considered a founding myth for the kingdom (much like the story of Romulus and Remus is to Rome). A selection of Biblical scholars are content to leave it at that.
Others however seek to look further into the story and our knowledge of Ancient Egypt. Comparing Biblical accounts often leads to difficulty. There is no Moses mentioned outside of Israelite sources. The figures given in the Bible for the Exodus are also incredibly large (603,550 men with families), and such a wide exodus from Egypt would have no doubt been recorded as a dramatic event in Egyptian history. Dating the event of the Exodus itself is also incredibly difficult.
That said, some archaeologists look at the story of Moses and the Exodus, and argue it is not difficult to imagine it alludes to a slower, less dramatic, migration of Israelites from Egypt into what would become Ancient Israel. Thus Exodus depicts in a few months what might have taken centuries. Slavery in Egypt may have been more symbolic than literal, referring to the poverty and harsh agrarian life of the Egyptian Israelites. The Biblical Pharaoh is so difficult to date because he isn't a single person, but several Pharaohs amalgamated into a single figure. It is a tempting theory, and it has its advocates.
Of course this may be missing the entire point of the story. As Karen Armstrong argues in A Short History of Myth, stories such as that of Exodus are about the great truths, and often not meant to be about historical accuracy.
Modern Retellings
Whether or not there was an Israelite lawgiver in the Sinai desert, Moses will remain with us in literature, film, plays and operas. Ridley Scott's Exodus: Gods and Kings is currently mired in controversy, as race equality campaigners have argued that it whitewashes Egypt's black history by casting Moses, the Pharaoh and other key figures with European and American actors, while giving black actors less significant and derogatory roles. It's even been pointed out the recreated Sphinx for the movie has a European profile.
The debate is significant because it reveals the very modern questions of equality and oppression that the story of Exodus also grappled with, and reminds us that Moses' story will no doubt speak to generations to come.

The VR/AR Association recently sat down with Diego Fiorentin, head of business development for Squadability, an Uruguay-based software development company (with a new office in NYC) committed to delivering high-quality content and elevating the user experience.
Fiorentin, 32, founded Squadability in 2015 after selling his software factory, intent on breaking barriers and serving as a vessel for change and problem-solving. It does not take long to see that Fiorentin is an optimistic man, so much so that his faith in 'randomness' to generate digital value is refreshing, particularly in a time where it seemed we were at risk of divorcing science and technology from a sense of engagement and meaning. Squadability carries this same philosophy to enact real change with virtual tools. For Fiorentin and his company, new technologies are synonymous with new answers. One such instance of their dedication to problem-solving lied in the lack of public ambulances in Brazil. Their response to this was the development of a mobile app operating under the same general structure of "summon-by-smartphone" technologies such as Uber. This time, however, the app alerts any nearby medical personnel and requests medical attention for immediate assistance. This, however, is only the beginning of Squadability's quest to approach AR technology heuristically. "Augmented reality," Fiorentin remarks, "is an extension of our senses, helping us see the details, providing a higher quality life".
Check out the video below for more details, as well as this week's recap of virtual and augmented reality news.

#DoctorBeDancing Generously Founds Charity for Luxury Sports Car Owners #Joke #notMyCar
Ferrari owners everywhere can sleep better tonight. Thanks to the valiant support of his donors, #DoctorBeDancing has finally been able to realize his charitable vision: the Ferrari Relief Fund. For years, luxury sports car owners everywhere have suffered the insurmountable maintenance costs of owning cars worth more than houses. At last, #DoctorBeDancing emerged to instill hope in the masses and reaching tens of millions of people to bring attention to this problem. Thanks to the first $6000, his own Ferrari now has 3 brand new tires. #DoctorBeDancing hopes to raise another $4000 by October -- $2000 for his fourth new tire and the rest for an oil change for the end of convertible season. "I really want to show how a person can employ their individuality to better the community through the aesthetic value of aggressively brightly colored sports cars. That's what the real purpose of the project is... And [the Ferrari Relief Fund] doesn't just benefit Ferraris. Not everyone owns a Ferrari. The money will go to Aston Martins, McLarens and even Lamborghinis. It is intentionally varied to keep the focus on the idea, and not limit it to single sports car make. Some day, I hope that we can all wake up in a new Bugatti. That's my vision."

Scandal in the #DoctorBeDancing Camp
Today, undeniable evidence of scandal and deceit was released by an anonymous source on the internet regarding the formerly beloved #DoctorBeDancing. The pre-sliced deli sriracha chicken that was donated to the cause was, in fact, consumed by the diabolical doctor himself. It was clearly the intent of the donor that the food be directly donated to charities claimed on the website. Photos of #DoctorBeDancing were released showing him with the cock in his mouth. Given his recent announcement to run for US president, it is unclear how this will affect his campaign. #DoctorBeDancing has yet to release an official statement. One former dissident was heard saying, "I feel much better about a crook running for office. At least now I know I can't trust [#DoctorBeDancing]. Before, I wasn't sure how I should feel at all." As of this printing, the status of the fresh mozzarella cheese (which the same woman had donated to the cause) is unknown. The scandalous photos are printed below, however, please be advised, they are EXTREMELY graphic. Discretion is advised.

#DoctorBeDancing announces his run for #american #president against @realDonaldTrump
Bright and early this afternoon, #DoctorBeDancing decided to announce his presidential bid first thing after getting home from work and changing into this tie-dye pajamas. He strongly believes that he is "the only fathomable force ridiculous enough" to face off with Donald Trump in the 2016 US presidential election. When asked what qualifies him to be president, he quoted Trump's twitter feed "'[Trump] has made more $ than all of the other candidates combined. Trump knows how 2 make it', BUT has he done it by dancing on the streets?" An irrelevant point made quite articulately by this young, ambitious candidate who has satisfied thousands of donors on the streets and can, undoubtedly, satisfy America. "Furthermore, Trump and I are about the same skin tone," pointed out #DoctorBeDancing. "The only difference is I can't afford that much spray on tan, so I have to go outside and dance to get that color." At his announcement, many of his supporters expressed doubt at his ability to challenge Trump's reign. One onlooker was heard saying, "[#DoctorBeDancing] doesn't stand a chance. He didn't express any misogyny, racism or discrimination of any kind. Worse yet, I don't even think he verbally assaulted any decorated war heroes. He should probably just stay out of politics, and on the streets where he belongs." At the time of printing, the doctor was flirting with the idea of adding the word "real" to his twitter handle @DoctorBeDancing, to show he "really" meant business.

Leave Pluto alone! That's the message astronomers all over the world are sending the International Astronomical Union (IAU). A recent discussion about whether Pluto should be cataloged as the 10,000th entry in the list of minor bodies in the solar system (Science, 8 January, p. 157) has alarmed planetary researchers, who worry that the public would see the move as a demotion for Pluto.
The Committee of the Division for Planetary Sciences (DPS) of the American Astronomical Society joined the chorus last week in a statement forwarded to the IAU, arguing that there is no compelling reason for the celestial body's declassification. "For now at least nothing should be done," says DPS chair Don Yeomans of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Most solar system researchers agree, says Alan Stern of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado. Although Pluto is by strict definition a trans-Neptunian object, dozens of which have been found in the past decade, Stern sees no reason why it can't be called a planet, too.
The IAU isn't about to make a decision anytime soon. But it now knows how strongly some people feel about the subject. Says Yeomans: "There are nine planets, period."

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. -- Dozens gathered in Independence on Sunday evening to remember loved ones whose murders remain unsolved.
Local advocacy groups Corey's Network and Momma On A Mission joined together to host the event. The goal is to support victims families and raise awareness about high rates of violence in the metro area.
"Hopefully it will give someone some encouragement and some courage to put their child's name or their loved one's name out there as often as possible so that no one forgets who was killed and when they were killed," said Michelle Metje, co-founder of Corey's Network.
Metje created Corey's Network after her son was murdered in 2013. Three years later Corey's murderer was caught. Still, she says with rising crime rates in the metro area there's still a lot more work to be done to stop crime and support victims.
"We have already had over 80 murders this year. Last year [my organization] paid for 27 homicide victims to be buried, this year we've already helped 30, so that means by the end of this year we're going to double this and thats insane," Metje explained.
Michelle Wilis is the founder of Momma On A Mission. She started the group following the death of her son Alonzo. Wilis says the support she's gotten and has been able to provide to more than 30 families has been helpful. She believes more people need to speak up if they witness crimes.
"There's probably a couple homicides that are created by the same person so if you can get that person off of the street it's possible to reduce some crime," said Wilis.
There have been 85 reported homicides in Kansas City so far in 2017.
If you have any information that could lead to an arrest in an unsolved homicide case contact police. In Kansas City, the tip line number is 816-474-TIPS.

Statement - tangled
My work is most often process driven and drawing is the principle form through which I explore visual ideas. The title for this show, "Tangled", refers to the visual net or resulting nest of linear structures that is most often the by-product of this exploration. I am interested in the transformative nature of drawing and the connection between thinking and making a representation of that activity. As I work these thoughts cohere into forms both recognizable and not as my mind moves from the thinking of a thing to the making of a visual sign for that thought.
Ultimately it is a kind of visual playing, mostly whimsical, sometimes dark and moody other times off the cuff or playful. The resolution of any piece is driven by the tension that is created between the activity of making a representation of these pathways and the sensation of balancing or orchestrating the imagery I create.
I sit down, I start to draw, if I don't have a thought or an idea I begin to make circles or to draw milk cartons or to spell out words that come to mind. As I do this new images or ideas will enter my mind and I draw these. As I am drawing my mind continues making links between the image I am working on and some new or next thought and I try in turn to follow this new link with another image or group of marks.
Some days are good and images seem to flow without hesitation while at other times I am simply stuck making marks representing the absence of a coherent thought that is indistinguishable from the act of making marks.
When discussing my work I often refer to its "evolution" outlining its origin as an interest in themes of accumulation and repetition. This was expressed originally as a cataloguing of simple mutations of form that would describe shapes and paths on the surface of a painting. The invention of these mutations was often precipitated by drawings; the role of drawing increasingly became more and more important as it outlined the flow or the space between one idea and another.

Up All Night With Big Alma and Mom Chung
Lauren Murrow | Photo: Stian Rasmussen | April 22, 2014
Our monthly study of uniquely Bay Area tribes.
The men and women working for contractor Barnard Impregilo Healy have a 25-minute commute to work—not bad for the Bay Area. Unlike your ride, however, theirs begins in a "launch box" and ends at a rock face 100 feet underground.
The builders are boring a 1.7-mile-long tunnel for the Central Subway line that will run from Fourth and King Streets to Stockton and Washington Streets. They operate two 750-ton boring machines—nicknamed Mom Chung and Big Alma, after the first female American-born Chinese physician and a San Francisco arts philanthropist—that burrow through an average of 60 feet of earth per day. Because two crews work alternating 12-hour shifts starting at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., the forward motion is constant. "The underground community is a tight-knit, highly specialized group," says SFMTA program director John Funghi. "It's dark, damp, humid, and confined down there."
It's also isolated. Lunch and bathroom breaks are taken in the tunnel—it would take too long to reach the surface—and there's no Wi-Fi or cellular service. The workers communicate via light signals and a system of mine phones that resemble old-fashioned pay phones.
"Consistency and trust are everything in this job," says Funghi. "You have to protect the person next to you."

Mi Xao Mem Recipe (Vietnamese Egg Noodles)
Mì xào mềm, as opposed to mì xào dòn (crispy egg noodles) is the Vietnamese version of Chinese chow mein. This dish appears in almost every Vietnamese fast food joint. It usually comes with chicken and seafood such as baby squid and shrimp, but I wanted to make sure the entire family would enjoy the dish as well (half of my family is vegetarian). So this time, I mixed the soft egg noodles with rolled tofu skin and several vegetables.
Living in the Bay Area, we're lucky enough that Asian markets carry a wide variety of fresh egg noodles. I always look for the thin kinds. If you can't find any, you could always boil angel hair pasta. The flavor will be slightly different but still delicious!
Yields: 6 servings1 (14-ounce) package fresh fine egg noodles
6 ounces fresh tofu skin sheets
1 cup coconut soda (or water)
3 tablespoons canola oil (or any neutral oil)
10 canned ears of baby corn, drained, cut in half lengthwise
1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste (click on the link for the recipe)
1 cup Chinese cabbage, coarsely chopped
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and diced
2 cups bok choy, cut into quarters, lengthwise
1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
1 yellow onion, cut into thin wedges
1 green onion, cut into 1"-pieces
½ cup baby carrots, sliced
2 teaspoons mushroom seasoning salt (or regular salt)
1 tablespoon black bean sauce , to taste
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
Prepping the tofu skin:
In a wok, heat the oil and add the tofu skin. Stir fry both sides until golden brown. Using kitchen shears, snip the tofu into 1-½" chunks.
In the same wok, add 1 tablespoon soy sauce and coconut soda (or water). Once the liquid evaporates, check the seasoning. Add more salt (if necessary) and black pepper.
For the noodles:
On a large platter, untangle and separate the egg noodles. Fill a large pot with water. Bring to a boil. Place the noodles in the water, return the water to a boil then lower the heat to medium-low. Keep stirring every now and then so the noodles don't stick to the bottom. Cook for about 2-3 minutes. When the noodles are cooked (tender but still in shape and firm), drizzle about 1 teaspoon canola oil, then drain the noodles. Discard the liquid. Season with 3/4 teaspoon mushroom salt. Set aside.
For the veggies:
Blanch the bok choy for 2-3 minutes in boiling water then transfer into an ice bath. Drain thoroughly and pat dry on a paper towel. Do not overcook, as the bok choy will continue to cook in the sauce later; it should still be tender and crisp.
Add a tablespoon of oil to the same wok. When the oil is hot, add the ginger garlic paste. As it becomes fragrant, add the carrots, red bell pepper, baby corn and shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry for about 2 minutes. When the color is translucent, season with 3/4 teaspoon mushroom seasoning salt. Add the Chinese cabbage and onion wedges and cook for another minute. Transfer to a plate. Set aside.
Assembly time:
In the same wok, add the rest of the oil. Once it's hot, add the green onions and tofu pieces. Add the black bean sauce, soy sauce and granulated sugar. Add water (a few tablespoons) so the ingredients don't stick to the bottom of the wok. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes. Add the cooked noodles. If necessary, cut them with kitchen shears. Add all the vegetables. Stir constantly. Cook for about 3-5 minutes. Season with more mushroom seasoning salt if necessary.
Sprinkle with black pepper. Drizzle with sesame oil.
Bon appétit!
I used these particular vegetables but you can add any other vegetables that you have on hand.
My favorite egg noodle brand is New Hong Kong Noodle Company (they carry all sorts of noodle dough products). Choose the thin variety.
You can find fresh yuba (tofu skin or bean curd skin) in the fresh food aisle of Asian markets in the Bay Area of California. The thin sheets of tofu are tightly packed and stacked,. You could make the same dish using rehydrated yuba if fresh isn't available. The texture resemble meat.
You can find coconut soda in any Asian markets.Published By: on March 22, 2011.

When you think of what makes a city unique, what do you picture? Of course, you think of the people that live there. However, you also probably visualize the various landmarks that are located there, and with good reason. Landmarks are a large part of what give a place its character.
Would New York be quite the same without the Statue of Liberty? What about San Francisco without the Golden Gate Bridge or Washington D.C. without the White House? Landmarks like these are so famous that they're easily associated with those cities even by people who don't live there. Most importantly of all, each comes attached to an intensely rich history all its own.
Whether the landmark in question is world famous or known mostly only to those who live in the area, the reasons for the designation are the same. Landmarks stand apart because of their historical, architectural, or cultural significance. Regional interest literature can help you explore the backstories of all your favorites.
Learn everything there is to know about who built Fort Sumter and why. Learn about each of the landmarks that makes Chattanooga famous or New Orleans noteworthy. Explore the history behind each of the landmarks you grew up around or visited with your family as a child.
Arcadia Publishing is one of the world's largest and most comprehensive publishers of regional and local interest literature. Start your own fascinating journey into the history and cultural significance of American landmarks with riveting, unique volumes on each.
Find out why the ones you know and love are considered so important. Discover how they went from a simple idea to a historically significant reality. You only think you know the landmarks you're most familiar with. Let Arcadia introduce you to them on an entirely new level today!

Until now I'd mostly been treating this blog as strictly a photo blog, without really writing any content other than adding tags to posts for ease of navigation. But I wanted to share photos from my recent travel for my job with Automattic, and my personal blog with all of my silly parenting nonsense on it seemed like a strange place to share them. So, I'm sharing them here.
We went to Playa del Carmen in Quintana Roo, Mexico. In July. In July.
It was hot, y'all. And beautiful.
I took my old Nikon D70 and shot with my little 35 mm f/2.0 the whole time. I'd like to eventually get a mirrorless camera for travel, but the old D70 did a good job and I was really struck by how much lighter it is than my D7000. Plus, I didn't have to worry so much about it getting damaged, since it isn't my primary camera.
Should I mention that the camera took a dip in the Mexican Caribbean and came out unscathed? Though I suppose that can be attributed to a good Lowepro camera bag.
My iPhone was not so lucky, but I digress.
I was taking two courses of antibiotics for a cut on my finger while there, and I had a pretty bad allergic reaction toward the end of the trip, so I had to come home a day early. I also felt pretty "off" the entire time, so I didn't do as much photography as I'd originally wanted to. But I'm still happy to share this photo-essay of our trip.
I'll get the photos from Wales in April posted soon too.
So I guess this is going to become my work-related blog too. Enjoy!

Authors: George Rajna
UZH researchers have analyzed the composition and structure of faraway exoplanets using statistical tools. [14] A carbon cycle anomaly discovered in carbonate rocks of the Neoproterozoic Hüttenberg Formation of northeastern Namibia follows a pattern similar to that found right after the Great Oxygenation Event, hinting at new evidence for how Earth's atmosphere became fully oxygenated. [13] The conditions for life surviving on planets entirely covered in water are more fluid than previously thought, opening up the possibility that water worlds could be habitable, according to a new paper from the University of Chicago and Pennsylvania State University. [12] Scientists at Rutgers University–New Brunswick and elsewhere are at a crossroads in their 50-year quest to go beyond the Standard Model in physics. [11] This paper explains the magnetic effect of the electric current from the observed effects of the accelerating electrons, causing naturally the experienced changes of the electric field potential along the electric wire. The accelerating electrons explain not only the Maxwell Equations and the Special Relativity, but the Heisenberg Uncertainty Relation, the wave particle duality and the electron's spin also, building the bridge between the Classical and Quantum Theories. New ideas for interactions and particles: This paper examines also the possibility to origin the Spontaneously Broken Symmetries from the Planck Distribution Law. This way we get a Unification of the Strong, Electromagnetic, and Weak Interactions from the interference occurrences of oscillators. Understanding that the relativistic mass change is the result of the magnetic induction we arrive to the conclusion that the Gravitational Force is also based on the electromagnetic forces, getting a Unified Relativistic Quantum Theory of all 4 Interactions.

Now available from Aircraft Spruce is the C-01 Dual Action Valve Spring Compression Tool, which was developed to ease the removal and installation of Continental engine cylinder rocker arms, rocker arm shaft and valves, valve springs and stem clips.
While valve spring compression tools are available and have been for over 60 years, most compress only one valve spring at a time, leaving the opposite still in tension. This often retains the rocker shaft, making its removal difficult without force, company officials explain.
The C-01 Valve Tool is attached to the top of the cylinder, and in one action, compresses both valve springs to remove the rocker shaft and rocker arms.
When installing the rocker shaft, the C-01Valve Tool eases alignment of both rocker arms as they are passed through the rocker shaft bosses.
The C-01 is manufactured specifically for use on Continental C65/C75/C85/C90/0200/C0300 engines.

Potty watches are a handy tool to have when you are potty training. Our potty watches are specially designed to help alert your child into knowing when it is time for him to go to the potty.
Some of our watches:
This section also carries a tinkle timer which is not a watch but it is a wonderful way to help make sure that your child is sitting on the potty long enough to do what he has to do. The timer can be set anywhere from 2-4 minutes and can take away some of that power struggle you get because he won't sit long enough.

Enter your details below to get FREE, instant access to our 'Botox FAQ' Guide:
Botox Injections
Botox has been a revolutionary product in the beauty and cosmetics industry over the past decade. Why Botox? It is both an affordable and effective way to remove wrinkles from the face. It relaxes the muscles underneath the wrinkles and this creates a more gentle and youthful appearance.
How does it work? Botox is injected in the upper third of the face to reduce wrinkles and relax muscles. Expect the smoothing of wrinkles to occur approximately 3 days after treatment has been completed. The full effect will be seen 2 weeks after treatment. The effect of Botox lasts for approximately 4 months after treatment. Muscles can be treated regularly to main smoothed appearance.
Botox injections can also be used to treat disorders of hyperactive nerves and used for treating chronic pain, especially in the neck and back.
Please note, that botox injections do have some side effects if it is injected in the wrong place on the body, which can cause paralysis of unintended muscles. This is why we advise that you only get treated by a fully qualified nurse and medical doctor.
Medical Microdermabrasion (Acne)
Acne scarring can cause problems to a person's self confidence and disturb their mental well being. Many patients have been witness to the vast array of benefits of receiving microdermabrasion treatments that strip off the outer layers of scarred and damaged skin. The new rejuvenated skin appears underneath, resulting in a fresh and youthful appearance and the reduction in appearance of scarring and pock marks.
Microdermabrasion is most common for people suffering the effects of acne or acne scarring. The procedure is performed by our practice nurse in the treatment room. Each treatment lasts 10-20 minutes and most people receive between 3-6 treatments for the best results.
Dermal Fillers/ Anti Wrinkle Injections
Dermal or inject-able fillers are used to assist with facial wrinkles or for those people who want a smoother appearance. Essentially they will the area underneath the person's skin to give a fuller tone. Please note that the effects are not permanent because the filler is eventually absorbed by the body. The effects typically last for 6 months for most people. For some people, they may require more than one treatment to obtain the desired outcomes
Materials in the fillers include collagen and transplanted fats from animals.
- Filling in wrinkles
- Reducing scarring (e.g., acne)
- Filling out lips
- Plump cheeks
- Contouring jaw lines
Consultation Prior to Anti-Ageing and Acne Treatments

Predicted sedimentary record of reflected bores

Where a steep slope blocks an inrushing tsunami, the tsunami commonly reverses direction as a reflected bore. A simple method for relating vertical and horizontal variation in sediment size to output from numerical models of depth-averaged tsunami flow yields predictions about the sedimentary record of reflected bores: 1. Near the reflector, a abrupt slowing of the flow as the reflected bore passes is recorded by a normally graded layer that drapes preexisting topography. 2. At intermediate distances from the reflector, the deposit consists of a single normally graded bed deposited preferentially in depressions, possibly including a sharp fine-over-coarse contact. This contact records a brief period of erosion as the front of the reflected bore passes. 3. Far seaward of the reflector, grading in the deposit includes two distinct normally graded beds deposited preferentially in depressions separated by an erosional unconformity. The second normally graded bed records the reflected bore.

Private Property Company
We assisted a private property company with the disposal of a portfolio of properties that were originally charged to IRBC. A fall in the market together with a failure by IBRC to consent to a key re-letting, led to the values being substantially below the outstanding loan amount.
The liquidation of IBRC led to a sale of the loan to a new lender. We led the negotiations with the new lender on behalf of our client, which led to an agreement to sell the portfolio. We managed an exit for our client and a total recovery to the new lender of nearly 30% more than originally anticipated.
We were mandated by an existing client to raise bridging finance of up to £20 m. The loan was partly to refinance existing indebtedness and partly for general working capital. The time scales were tight with important contractual payments needing to be made within two months. With insufficient cash flow to meet interest payments any funding needed to provide for interest to roll-up until maturity.
Having approached a small number of potential lenders, we swiftly selected a preferred partner and worked closely with them to finalise loan terms. We provided the interface between the client and its lawyers as well as providing commercial advice on loan terms. We were able to negotiate a deferred drawing of part of the loan significantly reducing the interest cost.
The loan for an overall term of 20 months was completed and drawn last week, ahead of the client's deadline.
We added significant value to the transaction by reducing interest costs, securing a loan facility that was substantially better for our client than anticipated by its lawyers and by negotiating to reduce other professional costs.

It feels like I have gone backwards in that department and I'm itching to get going again!! I'm going to take it slow and see how it goes day by day. I do not want to sit out again by being to over exuberant ;)

We had some good responses, and everybody was right on.
This is an image of Herpetic Whitlow. Herpetic whitlow is an infection of the digits caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV). It can be caused by HSV 1 or two. The common pathophysiology is inoculation of the affected area through a break in the skin and subsequent exposure to bodily fluids.
Patients present with a complaint of intensely painful lesions on the digits, usually at the distal phalanx. A prodrome of severe pain is followed by eruption of vesicular lesions. The prodrome may include pain felt in the upper arm or axilla as well. The lesions appear as classic HSV, grouped vesicles on an erythematous base, and may coalesce, as in this case. This is a self resolving illness, and usually will improved within two weeks. Treatment is symptomatic care with analgesia, although in the immunocompromised, oral antivirals should be considered.
In children and healthcare workers, infection is usually secondary to oral HSV infection (the classic buzzword is a dental hygienist or dentist), while in adults exposure to genital HSV is more common.
The big take home: do not attempt to incise and drain these lesions. Doing so may lead to bacterial superinfection, delayed healing, or, the more feared complication, systemic spread. You wouldn't want to be the one who caused herpes encephalitis, would you?

text: Cape Town - Sport24 takes a crack at predicting the Bafana Bafana starting XI to face Senegal while also selecting their very own preferred line-up.South Africa take on the Lions of Teranga on Saturday in a 2018 Soccer World Cup qualifier at the Peter Mokaba Stadium (kick-off is at 15:00).Coach Shakes Mashaba rarely makes changes to his preferred starting line-ups when it comes to matches unless injuries come into play and he is forced to juggle around his XI.Have a look at the predicted Bafana Bafana starting XI compared to the line-up Sport24 has chosen for the upcoming fixture.BAFANA BAFANA PREDICTED LINE-UP:Itumeleng Khune, Ramahlwe Mphahlele, Thulani Hlatshwayo, Eric Mathoho, Thabo Matlaba, Andile Jali, Hlompho Kekana, Mpho Makola, Thulani Serero, Keagan Dolly, Lars VeldwijkFormation: 4-2-3-1Itumeleng Khune Khune has solidified his stature as Bafana's first-choice goalkeeper and has been in impressive form for Kaizer Chiefs this season and will be a definite starter against Senegal.Ramahlwe Mphahlele The Sundowns right-back has been impressive for Masandawa this season and has found a rich vein of form, with the added distinction of being a CAF Champions League winner.Eric Mathoho and Thulani Hlatshwayo There will be no changes to the centre-back partnership that faced Burkina Faso in the last competitive fixture with both Kaizer Chiefs and Bidvest Wits defenders being in fine form.Thabo Matlaba Bafana's obvious weakness is at left-back where there is a serious lack of quality options. The Orlando Pirates defender is expected to hold onto his place due to the number of injuries to other left-back options.Andile JaliJali has been impressive for Bafana Bafana in the past 18 months, striking up an impressive partnership with Dean Furman. Jali tends to raise his game against better opposition and will likely slot straight into the team to replace the injured Furman.Hlompho Kekana Kekana is expected to partner Jali in midfield with the Sundowns skipper being often hailed by Pitso Mosimane as the best midfielder in the country. Kekana was also instrumental in Sundowns being crowned the best club team in Africa. Keagan Dolly Dolly remains the most exciting youngster in SA soccer even though he has had a recent dip in form. His ability to beat opponents and put in quality crosses should see him retain his place in the team.Thulani Serero Serero is simply the best player that we have at the moment and should be one of the first names on Shakes Mashaba's team sheet. However, the former Ajax Cape Town player needs to sort out his club situation at Ajax Amsterdam for the benefit of Bafana Bafana.Mpho Makola Should count himself lucky to hold onto his place if he is selected ahead of players plying their trade at a higher level (Patosi). Is lethal from long-range, but has been a part of a transitioning Pirates team.Lars Veldwijk Due to the lack of goals and quality strikers available to Mashaba, Lars Veldwijk will most likely be thrown into the deep end with the hopes of securing a vital victory against the Lions of Teranga.HOW SPORT24 WOULD LIKE TO SEE BAFANA LINE-UP:Itumeleng Khune, Ramahlwe Mphahlele, Thulani Hlatshwayo, Clayton Daniels, Thabo Matlaba, Andile Jali, May Mahlangu, Ayanda Patosi, Thulani Serero, Daine Klate, Lars VeldwijkFormation: 4-2-3-1Clayton Daniels Daniels has shown his quality as one of the best defenders in SA with his marshalling of an impressive SuperSport United defence who shut out Sundowns while down to 10-men. Daniels has excellent communication skills and is comfortable on the ball.May Mahlangu Mahlangu should be given his chance with the absence through injury of Dean Furman. Mahlangu who plays at a higher level than some of his midfield counterparts in the Bafana team should be feeling frustrated at not being given more opportunities.Ayanda Patosi Patosi should, much like Mahlangu, feel frustrated at not being a regular starter for Bafana Bafana as he plays at a higher level than Makola. Patosi is an intelligent player who would provide quality on the right side of the pitch and would form an exciting partnership with Serero and Veldwijk.Daine Klate Klate has been one of the form players of the PSL this season and has been banging in goals for fun. Bidvest Wits coach Gavin Hunt has hailed Klate as the best left-sided player in the league with the attacker's dangerous crosses an invaluable weapon in combination with the lanky Veldwijk.

Graeme Storm coasted to a place in the 2011 British Open on Monday as he won the European edition of International Final Qualifying (IFQ) for the second time in three years at Sunningdale. The 33-year-old Englishman produced rounds of 65 and 62 over the Old and New courses for a 12-under-par 127, taking the first of 10 qualifying places up for grabs.
At the end of a long day, the start of which was delayed by 90 minutes because of heavy rain, Storm, the 2007 French Open winner, emerged with a three-shot victory over Sweden's Alexander Noren.
International Final Qualifying (IFQ) events are held on five continents to give more players the chance to gain direct entry into golf's oldest championship.
The top 10 finishers in the European edition of International Final Qualifying guaranteed their spots in the 2011 British Open.
1. Graeme Storm
2. Alexander Noren
3. Gary Boyd
3. Thomas Levet
3. Peter Whiteford
6. Alejandro Canizares
6. Kenneth Ferrie
6. Gregory Bourdy
6. Richard McEvoy
10. George Coetzee
"The delay certainly helped me, because when I teed off the rain had stopped and the conditions were perfect," said Storm, who also won the European IFQ at Sunningdale in 2009. "It's fantastic to qualify. I've not played St. George's since the Amateur Championship was there in 1997, so it will be nice to go back."
Noren, fresh from his victory in Sunday's Saab Wales Open at Celtic Manor, secured a double success, as he set up a third Open appearance with rounds of 66 and 64 for a 130.
"I came here on a great high, but I said to my caddie that I needed to just focus for one more day and then we could celebrate the win," he said. "I was always going to be happy whatever happened today but now I can really enjoy all of this."
Frenchman Thomas Levet, who tied for second at the 2002 British Open at Muirfield, continued his rich vein of qualifying form as he progressed in a share of third on 131 after a 65 and a 66. The former Scottish Open winner booked a place in the U.S. Open at nearby Walton Heath last week, and he completed a good seven days with another purposeful display.
"I've got through to the Open and the U.S. Open at qualifying; there's not many guys do that," smiled Levet.
Scotland's Peter Whiteford, seventh in the BMW PGA championship and eighth in the Wales Open over the past week, secured his first start in a major after a 67 and a 64 left him in a tie for third on 131. English youngster Gary Boyd, who played in the 2008 British Open at Royal Birkdale, also came through on 131.
Spain's Alejandro Canizares, who was tied for fourth heading into the final round of last year's Open at St. Andrews but fell away into a tie for 27th with a closing 77, ensured a swift return with a 67 and a 65 for 132.
He was joined on that mark by France's Gregory Bourdy and Englishmen Richard McEvoy and former European Open winner Kenneth Ferrie.
"I actually came through a seven-man playoff in this event for the 2005 Open at St. Andrews and then won the European Open the following week at the K Club," said Ferrie. "That was my best ever year and hopefully getting through here can kick-start my season again."
In a five-man playoff to decide the final place, George Coetzee emerged with the coveted berth. The South African, along with Brett Rumford, Soren Kjeldsen, Pablo Larrazabal and Mark Tullo, had all finished on 6 under par. As Kjeldsen, Rumford and Tullo were eliminated, Coetzee finally prevailed with a birdie-two on the sixth extra hole, to deny Spain's Larrazabal.
At the other end of the spectrum, whether Colin Montgomerie ever plays another major championship remains open to doubt after he finished last in the qualifier.
A week after missing out by five shots in U.S. Open qualifying -- and three days after posting his worst 36-hole total in Europe in 20 years at the Saab Wales Open -- Montgomerie was 11 strokes too many at Sunningdale. And he trooped in a massive 18 shots behind Storm.
An opening with a 1 over-par 71 on the Old Course at Sunningdale, the 47-year-old Scot knew he needed "something like" his record-equaling 62 on the New Course last year to make it through. But he could manage only a 5-over 74.
Other routes into what would be his 22nd consecutive British Open at Royal St. George's next month are fast running out. A top-5 finish at either the French or Scottish Opens could do it, and there are also two spots available through a mini-money list on the European Tour that continues at this week's Italian Open.
"It's disappointing, so I'll go to Italy and try again," said Montgomerie, who has has had five runner-up finishes in majors -- a record for someone who has never won one. "I will be trying everything, as always."
Among others who missed out were former Ryder Cup hero Paul McGinley and England's Nick Dougherty.
