Creation Lesson #10 - JESUS AND I …WHEN LIFE HURTS
Author: Creation Evidence Museum Texas | Category: Creation Lessons1 comment
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and to day, and forever (Heb. 13:8). He is the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity (Isa. 57:15). He upholds all things by the word of his power (Heb. 1:3). At this very moment Jesus, my Creator is…
Thinking about me… "The Lord thinketh upon me" (Ps. 40:17)
Guiding me… "I will guide thee with mine eye" (Ps. 32:8)
Holding me… "Neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand" (John 10:28)
Living within me… "I in them and thou in me" (John 17:23)
Loving me… "Love them as thou hast loved me" (John 17:23)
Cleansing me… "The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin" (I John 1:7)
Empowering me… "That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings" (Phil. 3:10)
Strengthening me…"Strengthened with might by his Spirit (Eph. 3:16), "My strength is made perfect in weakness" (II Cor. 12:9)
Feeling my infirmities…"Touched with the feeling of our infirmities" (Heb. 4:15)
Assuring me… "All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28).
"But God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be [tested] above that ye are able; but will with the [testing] also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it" (I Cor. 10:13).
"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need" (Hebrews 4: 16).
Creation Lesson #9 - Manipulation of Data, Haeckel's Embryos
Author: Creation Evidence Museum Texas | Category: Creation Lessonsno comments | Tags: Darwin, Dawkins, Evolution, Haeckel's Embryos, Intelligent Design, The Origin of Species
Most of those involved in the Creation/Evolution conflict are aware of such outright frauds as the Piltdown Man of Sussex, England. From its discovery in 1912 by Charles Dawson until its factual public exposure in 1953, essentially the entire secular paleontology community accepted this fossil as an intermediate between Ape and Man. Over 500 doctoral dissertations were written on its technical place in the lineage of Man (designated Eoanthropus dawsoni, "Dawn Man"); and degrees were awarded from major universities around the world. One of the few scholars who saw through its fabrication early-on was the Oxford scholar Earnest Tolbert (Bull) Adams from Glen Rose, Texas. Upon seeing the famous fossil first-hand, he wrote home to his wife Mable that it was a fake. History later proved him to be correct. But the evolutionary community had accepted Piltdown and other dubious artifacts as concrete evidence to the point that evolution has now become so entrenched as to require no real evidence at all. Evolutionist and atheist Richard Dawkins famously announced: "We don't need evidence [for evolution]. We know it to be true."[1] There is a long list of "altered" or "manipulated" information, but Haeckel's Embryos illustrate the point very well:
In his The Origin of Species (Chapter XIV), Darwin wrote that "the leading facts in embryology, which are seen as second to none in importance" should be considered "by far the strongest single class of facts in favor of" his hypothesis. Darwin was captivated by Haeckel's drawings of select vertebrate classes, particularly the astounding similarity that he depicted among their early embryonic stages, and what Haeckel called "the biogenetic law" (or "recapitulation theory"). This simply means that embryonic growth of the fetus within the womb rapidly repeats the entire evolutionary history of the species prior to birth. But what we really see is -
I. MANIPULATIVE MIS-REPRESENTATION
Prior to Darwin's The Origin of Species (1859), Europe's famous embryologist, Karl Ernst von Baer (1792-1876), the discoverer of the tiny mammalian egg cell, had already disproved by careful empirical observation the evolutionary "law of parallelism" – the belief that embryos of "higher" organisms pass through the adult forms of "lower" organisms in the course of their development. Despite von Baer's anti-evolutionary views, his evidence was manipulated by Haeckel and misrepresented by Darwin. According to Dr. Jonathan Wells "Von Baer lived long enough to object to Darwin's misuse of his observations, and he was a strong critic of Darwinian evolution until his death in 1876. But Darwin persisted in citing him anyway, making him look like a supporter of the very doctrine of evolutionary parallelism he explicitly rejected."[2]
II. PURPOSEFUL PROPAGANDA
"An embryologist, Dr. Michael Richardson [St. George's Hospital Medical School], with the cooperation of biologists around the world, collected and photographed the types of embryos Haeckel supposedly drew. Dr. Richardson found that Haeckel's drawings bore little resemblance to the embryos. Haeckel's drawings could only have come from his imagination, which was harnessed to produce 'evidence' to promote the acceptance of evolution."[3]
III. ILLEGITIMATE ILLUSTRATIONS
The astounding similarity between early stages of different vertebrate classes and orders that so captivated the interest of Charles Darwin is now known to be the result of Haeckel "doctoring" his drawings to make them all appear more alike than the actual evidence would allow. This is readily substantiated…
(a) Censored Samples: "Haeckel's contemporaries repeatedly criticized him for these misrepresentations, and charges of fraud abounded in his lifetime…there is no doubt that his drawings misrepresent vertebrate embryos. First, he chose only those embryos that came closest to fitting his theory."[4]
(b) Deliberate Deception: "Surprisingly, after developing quite differently in their early stages, vertebrate embryos become somewhat similar midway through development. It is this midway point that Haeckel chose as the 'first' stage for his drawings."[5]
(c) Designed Distortions: "…the popularizers of evolution…still believe that similarities between embryos are evidence for evolution (common ancestry). But this confidence rests, consciously or unconsciously, on the woodcuts published by Haeckel and reproduced, in whole or in part, in many textbooks since. These drawings are widely believed to bear some resemblance to reality. But apparently no one has bothered to check."[6] "In some cases, Haeckel used the same woodcut to print embryos that were supposedly from different classes."[7]
(d) Erroneous Exaggeration: "Not only did Haeckel add or omit features…he also fudged the scale to exaggerate similarities among species, even when there were 10-fold differences in size."[8] "Richardson and his colleagues also found that vertebrate embryos vary tremendously in size, from less than 1 millimeter to almost 10 millimeters, yet Haeckel portrayed them all as being the same size."[9]
(e) Falsified Figures: "Finally, Richardson and his colleagues found considerable variation in the number of somites – repetitive blocks of cells on either side of the embryo's developing backbone. Although Haeckel's drawings show approximately the same number of somites in each class, actual embryos vary from 11 to more than 60."[10]
YET THIS FALSIFIED INFORMATION IS STILL USED TODAY! "The Biogenetic law [Haeckel's Drawings] has become so deeply rooted in biological thought that it cannot be weeded out in spite of its having been demonstrated to be wrong by numerous scholars."[11]

Creation Lesson #8 - Creativity of Man, Mind of Man, Noah's Ark, Gutenberg Press
Author: Creation Evidence Museum Texas | Category: Creation Lessonsno comments | Tags: Creation, Gutenberg Press, Human Mind, Intelligent Design, Johannes Gutenberg, Noah's Ark
At the Creation Evidence Museum an entire section is dedicated to displays featuring the "Creativity of Man." It begins with the construction of the 25-foot Replica by Dale Muska and his assistants; it continues with the creativity displayed in the engineering of the 1904 Oldsmobile, the artistry in the clay statue of coach Tom Landry by artist Robert Summers, the speech employed by Chief American Horse (featuring the actual attire he wore while negotiating peace between the Red Man and the White Man after the Battle of Little Big Horn), and the design in the space exploration instruments constructed by aerospace engineer Robert Helfinstine and his associates. These displays are actually in place at the museum. We should also mention the invention of the Gutenberg Press with movable type. The first book to be printed was the Gutenberg Bible! (The premier replicator of the Gutenberg Press is currently building a full-scale replica for our museum).
I. The Unparalleled Mind of Man
At the heart of the creativity of man is his awesome mind, designed to reflect the image of the Creator Himself. The human brain's three pounds represent a mere two percent of the body weight…the quartful of brain is so metabolically active that it uses twenty percent of the oxygen we take in through our lungs…A third of our genes code for one or another aspect of the brain."[1]
The brain allows the finger to feel vibrations of 8/1000 of an inch…Allows the eye to see 10 million different colors.[2] [T]he brain's complexity is beyond anything [we had] imagined…the total number of synapses in a brain roughly equal the number of stars in 1,500 Milky Way galaxies![3] At the subconscious level "people can actually reason, anticipate consequences, and devise plans – all without knowing they are doing so."[4] This introduces us to the power of the human mind and its amazing creativity.
Scientific American reports: " [M]ounting evidence indicates that…a large mental gap separates us from our fellow creatures."[5] "[O]ur species alone creates soufflés, computers, guns, make-up, plays, operas, sculptures, equations, laws and religion. Not only have bees and baboons never made a soufflé, they have never even contemplated the possibility."[6]
The author lists various intriguing feats that animals accomplish and explains that "animal thoughts are largely anchored in sensory and perceptual experiences…We alone ponder the likes of unicorns, and aliens, nouns and verbs, infinity and God."[7] The same article lists four unique ingredients of the human mind. (1) Generative computation enables humans to create a virtually limitless variety of words, concepts and things. (2) Promiscuous combination of ideas allows the mingling of different domains of knowledge – such as art,…space, causality and friendship – thereby generating new laws, social relationships and technologies. (3) Mental symbols encode sensory experiences both real and imagined, forming the basis of a rich and complex system of communication. (4) Abstract thought permits contemplation of things beyond what we can see, hear, taste or smell."[8]
II. The Ark of Noah
Our 25-foot (1/20 scale) Replica of the Ark is the culmination of over forty years of research, months of working with our draftsman, eighteen months of actual craftsmanship on the vessel itself, and the sacrifice of dear people who contributed to make it possible. The original Ark was 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high[9]. The cubit is normally considered to be about 18 inches in length. Often the "royal cubit" was given as up to 26 inches. Our research indicates that the cubit was very close to 20.5 inches. This would make the original Ark 500 feet long, 86 feet wide, and 52 feet high.
III. The Gutenberg Press
The art of printing originated in China. Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han dynasty inadvertently inspired this invention in AD 175 when he commanded that Confucian classics be engraved in stone. Bi Sheng invented a form of movable print during the reign of the Emperor Renzong of the Song dynasty, between AD 1041 and AD 1048. He took thin pieces of clay mixed with a sticky substance, carved a mirror image Chinese character on each piece and baked it in a kiln. When printing, he placed the characters in proper order on a coated metal plate.
Johannes Gutenberg (c.1395 – 1468) was a German blacksmith, goldsmith, printer, and publisher who introduced printing to Europe. His invention of mechanical movable type printing played a key role in the development of the Renaissance, Reformation, the Age of Enlightenment, and the Scientific Revolution and laid the material basis for the modern knowledge-based economy and the spread of learning to the masses. Gutenberg was the first European to use movable type printing, around 1439. Among his many contributions to printing are: the invention of a process for mass-producing movable type; the use of oil-based ink; and the use of a wooden printing press similar to the agricultural screw presses of the period. His truly epochal invention was the combination of these elements into a practical system which allowed the mass production of printed books. In Renaissance Europe, the arrival of mechanical movable type printing introduced the era of mass communication which permanently altered the structure of society.[10]

Creation Lesson #7 - The Designed Human Mind
Author: Creation Evidence Museum Texas | Category: Creation Lessonsno comments | Tags: Creation, Evolution, Human Mind, Inteligent, Intellect, Intelligent Man, Theory
The theory of Evolution envisions a physical and mental development of early man from primitive life forms. However, the documented facts tell a far different story. Man has been uniquely endowed by his Creator from his introduction on Day Six.
I. Superior Intellect from the Beginning
In the book, Panorama of Creation, this author has listed fifty-six characteristics that Pre-Flood man, from Adam forward, possessed.[1] As a society, only superior cultures have been documented as possessing all of these specific characteristics cumulatively. Among those fifty-six, ten are listed here:
Conceptual Analysis: "And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him" (Genesis 2:20). The fact that specific names were given to all varieties of separate groups with emphasis on distinctions among them, requires the ability to conceptualize objectively. In order to determine that none of the individuals under consideration would be intimately compatible with the observer further enhances the evidence that the observer had mature self-awareness and mental acumen.
Comparative Distinctions: "…gave names to all cattle…and to every beast of the field…" (Genesis 2:20). Distinction is made between groups; comparison and nomenclature are assigned accordingly.
Synergistic Language: "And Adam said, this is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh…" (Genesis 2:23, 24). Languages that feature enlarged expression, enhanced from preceding statements, require complicated emotional and mental capabilities.
Poetic Declamation: "…bone of my bones…flesh of my flesh…called Woman ('from man')…taken out of man…leave his father and mother…cleave unto his wife…they shall be one flesh…" (Genesis 2:23, 24). This is first a form of complicated poetic expression; but it is also a progressive statement encompassing origin, state, and destiny of the speaking person (Adam) and the recipient (Eve) to be heard and observed by future generations (leave Father and Mother). Any concept of "evolving man" is totally incapable of explaining this speech form.
Incident Reference: "…knew…conceived…have gotten a man…" (Genesis 4:1). A conscious reference is made to intimate physical relations, conception, and birth. Detailed sensitivities are honorably expressed with a deliberate emphasis on time and events.
Religious Preoccupation: "…brought an offering unto the Lord…" (Genesis 4:3,4). Religious exercise is ascribed to sophisticated man alone. Here we observe conscious religious activity with a specific offering to a specific God.
Moral Designation: "…whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold…" (Genesis 4:15). Moral responsibility and consequences in the event of failure are clearly defined. Protection and restriction relating to the guilty party are also enforced.
Offspring Endowment: "…and called the name of the city after the name of his son…" (Genesis 4:17). Filial endowments are recognized as being among the "ultimate resource and expression" of advanced Homo sapiens sapiens.
Artistic Appreciation: "…all such as handle the harp and organ…" (Genesis 4:21). A "guild association" is implied within this statement. Such responsive appreciation in harmony with skillful dexterity would warrant applause from any historian looking back on this generation.
Purposeful Motivation: "Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he…" (Genesis 6:22). Emphasis is placed on the words "all," "commanded," and "did." Noah (and his family) had the physical, mental, and volitional capacity to follow purposeful instruction with conscious extended performance.
II. Abrupt Appearance of Intelligent Man
When history is properly interpreted, it has been demonstrated that Intelligent Man (comparable to Modern Man) appears fully functional, without intermediate fossils evolving from lower life forms: "There are no actual fossils directly antecedent to man." ( L.B. Halstead, Nature, 20 Nov., 1980, p. 208). The major players in the "Ape to Man" myth have been re-examined and interpreted more correctly:
Homo erectus and Homo sapiens… "H. erectus…is insufficiently distinct from H. sapiens. All fossil remains of H. erectus and archaic H. sapiens (including Neanderthals) should be reclassified into a single species, H. sapiens, which is to be subdivided only into races." (New Scientist, "On the Origin of Races," January 16, 1993)
Neanderthal Comparison to Modern Humans… "Detailed comparisons of Neanderthal skeletal remains with those of modern humans have shown that there is nothing in Neanderthal anatomy that conclusively indicates locomotor, manipulative, intellectual or linguistic abilities inferior to those of modern humans." (Erik Trinkaus, Natural History 87, 1978: 10)
The Aurignacian People…Contemporaries with Neanderthal They lived in the Ach Valley of the Alb-Danube Region of Germany. A Star Chart of Orion1 was carved on a Mammoth tusk by these people who also lived as contemporaries with Job.
As Job's consultants knew about the Creator and his association with mankind, these contemporary people would have the same general knowledge of the Creator and his splendors in the heavens.

Creation Lesson #6 - Designed Insects
Author: Creation Evidence Museum Texas | Category: Creation Lessonsno comments | Tags: Ants, Bees, Butterfly, Creation, Etomology, Gyroscope, Insects, Intelligent Design
Entomology is the study of insects, and its details leave us in overwhelming awe. The ancient Egyptians were so intrigued with insects that the beetle became their symbol for immortality. In our current abbreviated study we are indebted to the splendid new book, By Design: Evidence for Nature's Intelligent Designer –The God of the Bible, by Jonathan Sarfati, Ph.D. We highly recommend this work that encompasses numerous fields of scientific investigation.
I. Ingenious Fly Ear
Author Sarfati points out that the main mechanism for discerning the direction of a sound involves measuring the slight difference in the time of arrival of the sound at each ear, as well as the slightly greater intensity at the nearest ear.[1] The tiny female fly, Ormia ochracea, is able to track a cricket's chirping in order to lay her eggs on him. To make this possible, a bridge like a flexible lever couples the fly's eardrums together. The resulting resonance effectively increases the time difference about 40 times, and the eardrum nearest the sound vibrates about 10 decibels more strongly. Also, the fly's flight programming links to its ear signals. Consequently, the fly can tell directions to within 20.[2]
II. Incredible Flight of Insects
According to conventional analysis insects generate only about one-third to one-half of the lift needed to carry their weight. Now it has been discovered that leading-edge vortex generates extra lift by lowering the atmospheric pressure in that specific area. In insects LEV's generate the extra lift needed because the vortex stays "stuck" to the leading edge of the wing long enough for propagation.[3] Author Sarfati adds: "Insect wings have a very complex motion, rotating and changing the camber. It required sophisticated pro-gramming from intelligent design."[4]
III. Intricate Butterfly Aerodynamics
Two Oxford university professors trained red admiral butterflies (Vanessa atalanta) to fly freely between artificial flowers in a wind tunnel. They reported:
"…[F]ree flying butterflies use a variety of unconventional aerodynamic mechanisms to generate force: wake capture, two different types of leading-edge vortex, active and inactive upstrokes, in addition to the use of rotational mechanisms and the Weis-Fogh 'clap-and-fling' mechanism. Free-flying butterflies often use different aerodynamic mechanisms in successive strokes. There seems to be no one 'key' to insect flight, instead insects rely on a wide array of aerodynamic mechanisms to take off, maneuver, maintain steady flight, and for landing."[5]
IV. In-built Gyroscopes
Most insects have two pairs of wings, but flies (Diptera) have only one. Instead of the other pair, they have little sticks with knobs called halteres. These beat in antiphase to the wings (in reverse direction). The base of the haltere has mechanical sensors called campaniform (bell shaped) sensilla that quickly pass on flight information to the wing-steering muscles. A team led by Michael Dickinson, of the University of California at Berkeley, found that nerves from the visual system connect to the halteres. Thus they immediately respond, and their sensilla in turn pass that information to the flight muscles.[6]
V. Intercontinental Migrating Monarchs
Shortly after hatching, the spectacular Monarch butterfly flies thousands of miles, navigating unerringly to reach a place it has never seen. Remarkably, they often land on the exact tree their parents came from. They can do this even if they are taken hundreds of miles off course. For the monarch to accomplish this feat he relies on an internal clock, as well as an in-built "almanac" of the sun's position relative to a date and time. They can use this method even on a cloudy day, because they can also detect the polarization angle of any light. These butterflies also have a built-in magnetic compass, so they can sense directions from the earth's magnetic field.[7]
VI. Inverted Ants and Bees
Ants and bees walk upside down because of masterful design. Each foot has a moist pad (arolium) that can stick to a smooth surface like wet paper on a window. This is between two claws, shaped like a bull's horns. The claws can catch onto a rough surface, and the arolium is retracted because it is not needed. On a smooth surface the claws retract via the claw flexor tendon, which causes the arolium to rotate and extend into position. The tendon also connects to a plate that squeezes a reservoir of fluid, forcing the liquid into the arolium to inflate it, so it presses on the surface.[8]

Creation Lesson #5 - Designed Mammals
Author: Creation Evidence Museum Texas | Category: Creation Lessonsno comments | Tags: Bats, Creation, Dolphins, Intelligent Design, Mammals, Spine, Whales
Mammals cover a vast array of specialized creatures, each designed to function in a unique habitat. The deeper we research, the more we wonder at these created marvels.
I. Dolphins and Echolocation
Author Jonathan Sarfati calls to our attention the fact that a number of creatures find prey by echolocation.[1] The object's speed and location are determined by the Doppler Effect, interpreting variations in sound and pitch of the returning signal. A dolphin can detect a fish the size of a golf ball 230 feet way! An expert in chaos theory demonstrated that the dolphin's "click" pattern is mathematically designed to provide the best information.[2] Evolutionists are compelled to admit that "the ancestors of today's dolphins had an ear structure that suggests that they could echolocate as well as their modern relatives can."[3]
The dolphin produces clicks by pressurizing the nasal system, then manipulating air through the phonic lips. The click loudness automatically adjusts for distance. Behaving as a "sound lens," they have special oil-filled sinuses in the lower jaw that pass the echoes to the inner ear. Accompanying this they have a "melon" fatty protrusion on the forehead that focuses the sound waves into a beam on different lipids.[4]
II. Bats and Aerial Dynamics
Bats, too, use sonar echolocation, but they also possess unique wing design. The stretchy skin on a bat's wing interacts with air in a different manner than the firmer wings of birds and insects. This elasticity, combined with dozens of joints (even more than in a human hand) allows bats to generate unusual wing shapes and motions, e.g. ones that give more lift at higher angles of stroke. Their wings can also be folded very close to the body to reduce drag.[5]
Palaeochiropteryx tupaiodon – one of the "oldest" bats, was found in the Messel oil shale pit near Darmstadt, Gemany, and is assigned an age of 48-54 million years (by evolutionary standards). It clearly had fully developed wings, and its inner ear had the same construction as those of modern bats, showing that it had full sonar equipment.[6] This discovery disrupts "evolutionary development" over long periods of time, and instead, demonstrates original masterful design in the bat features from a recent creation.
III. Whales and Humpback Flipper Bumps
The humpback whale has certain features that help it travel through its fluid medium with pronounced efficiency. Its bumpy flipper looks like poor design compared with smooth, sleek flippers. Research at the US Naval Academy using scale model flippers took advantage of these little bumps, called tubercles. In a wind tunnel, the smooth model behaved like a typical airplane wing. But the one with the tubercles has 8% better lift and an astounding 32% less drag. It also resisted "stalling" at a 40% steeper wing angle.[7]
IV. The Human Spine and Optimal Design
"The inward curve of the lumbar spine – the lordosis – was thought by evolutionists to be a problem, the result of man standing upright…[Actually] the arch of the spine has a beautiful purpose, its like the arch of a bridge, it adds strength. Because of this arch in the lumbar spine, a man with a lumbar lordosis can lift proportionately more weight than a Gorilla with its kyphotic (outwardly curving) spine.
…[T]he bones of the spine have been 'foam filled' ['light and strong'] with cancellous bone (with an open, latticed, or porous structure) surrounded by harder cortical bone since creation…The vertebral bodies increase in cross sectional area as you go further down the spine, because in the upright position the lower ones have to take on more load."[8]
Numerous studies have hinted at the possibility that the spine is essentially a musical instrument. If so, the spine would incorporate some system of inaudible "sound resonance." Using powders, liquids or pastes on sound boards, shapes have been sculpted purely by sound. Vibration caused material to take on a life of its own – and in its dance, beautiful symmetrical patters take shape. Some patterns look like rotating spiral galaxies or solar flares, others like flowers blooming or amoebae fusing.[9] "Bone is an excellent conductor of vibration and is therefore capable of resonance..[E]ach vertebra in the spine has a characteristic shape…[I]ndeed each vertebra does have a resonance frequency…[A]pplying the correct vibrational frequency to a vertebra can induce sympathetic vibration that restores the vertebra's "natural" fundamental frequency."[10] In addition, appropriate interaction of vibrational frequencies has been shown to increase bone density, thus extending the quality of life.[11] The human spine shows optimal, and incredible, design features.

Creation Lesson #4 - Microworld Marvels
Author: Creation Evidence Museum Texas | Category: Creation Lessonsno comments | Tags: Bacteria, Cell, Creation, DNA
The space-fabric template is in place to support the activities of a microscopic world in which living systems can perform their designed duties. Without these myriads of unseen entities life would not be possible, and without the "space template" these microscopic agents could not perform their life-supporting functions. The space fabric is essentially occupied by a "cooperating lattice" of subatomic particles.[1] This lattice supports the "tendrils of the cosmic web" and provides orientation for the physical components of the universe.[2] "…All of the masses, charges, and other properties of subatomic particles arise from a uniform chorus of violins playing a symphony of different notes."[3] "…[And] as if by a chain, our planet's surface [with all its components] is connected intimately with the space environment."[4] The stage is now set for the miniature actors to debut their choreographed performances.
I. The Incredible DNA and its Information
The late Dr. Henry M. Morris commented on Psalm 139:15: "Curiously wrought" means "embroidered," a striking description of the double-helical DNA molecular program which organizes part by part the beautiful structure of the whole infant…from the lowest [atomic mineral] parts of the earth.[5] A pinhead of DNA could hold 40 million times more information than our most advanced 100 gigabyte computer hard drive.[6] At least 93% of the so-called "junk DNA" is transcribed, and it is about 50 times more active than the genes, as shown by the amount of RNA transcripts.[7] Even the choice of the base-pair letters A (adenine), T (thymine), G (guanine), and C (cytosine) now seems to be based on minimizing error during reproduction.[8]
II. The Living Cell and its Components
These components are illustrated for the reader. It must be remembered that "No living molecule is self-reproducing. Only whole cells may contain all the necessary machinery for 'self'-replication….without the protein-forming machinery nothing can be made."[9] Sir Karl Popper pointed out, "What makes the [evolutionary] origin of life and of the genetic code a disturbing riddle is this: the genetic code is without any biological function unless it is translated, that is, unless it leads to the synthesis of the proteins whose structure is laid down by the code. But… the machinery by which the cell… translates the code consists of at least fifty macromolecular components which are themselves coded in the DNA. Thus the code cannot be translated except by using certain products of its translation."[10]
III. Bacteria and the Bacterial Flagellum
Under the ground invisible organisms, including, yeast, molds, microscopic invertebrates, nematode worms, and especially bacteria…. balance the aboveground ecosystem as they make nutrients and minerals available for plant life.[11] Deep earth appears to be a major chemical factory, filled with a mass of bacteria greater than the combined mass of all plants and animals living on the surface.[12]
About 5,000 species of bacteria have been identified, but only about 8 percent cause disease.[13] "Cyanobacteria in the oceans break apart the bonds of carbon dioxide, making oxygen available to living things. Perhaps the most abundant creatures on earth, these microbes may release more oxygen than all green plants combined… [In carbon-recycling] one specific duty [of bacteria] is to break down dead plant [and animal matter]…A group of bacteria, known as lithotrophs, feed on minerals within rocks and break them down, thus enriching the soil…The bacteria in the genus Rhizobium, which live in and around plants, fix the nitrogen…Some bacteria even help to make it rain!"[14]
The marvelous irreducibly complex Bacterial Flagellum is powered by an electric motor, with the following features: self assembly and repair, water-cooled rotary engine, proton motive force drive system, forward and reverse gears, operating speeds up to 100,000 rpm, direction-reversing capacity within ¼ of a turn.[15]

Creation Lesson #3 - Intelligent Design
Author: Creation Evidence Museum Texas | Category: Creation Lessonsno comments | Tags: Brain, Cell, Creation, Design, Earth, Flagellum, Intelligent Design, Trilobite
Introduction…The Evolution Model begins with Seven Assumptions (none of which have ever been observed in the field or demonstrated in the laboratory):
Non-living elements gave rise to living material…
Spontaneous generation occurred only once…
Viruses, bacteria, plants and animals are all related…
Single-celled life forms gave rise to multiple-celled life forms…
Various invertebrate phyla are related…
Invertebrates gave rise to vertebrates…
Fish gave rise to amphibians to reptiles, to birds, to mammals, to primates, to man…[1]
In contrast…The Creation Model begins with One Assumption (which is consistent with laboratory experiments in microbiology and life-sciences):
The overwhelming complexity found in living systems throughout nature requires a Designer for its origin. (Living material may be re-arranged in its order, but it has never been observed to increase in complexity from the original stock.)
I. The Living Cell…
"There are more than twenty different sections in a cell…a single flaw in the cell's protein transport pathway is fatal. Unless the entire system were immediately in place, our ancestors would have suffered a similar fate."[2] "Only whole cells…contain all the necessary machinery for 'self-replication'…without the protein-forming machinery nothing can be made."[3] The chance assemblage of the 60,000 proteins in a single cell is one in 10 to the 4,478,296 power![4]
II. The Bacterial Flagellum…
The marvelous irreducibly complex Bacterial Flagellum is powered by an electric motor, with the following features: self assembly and repair, water-cooled rotary engine, proton motive force drive system, forward and reverse gears, operating speeds up to 100,000 rpm, direction-reversing capacity within ¼ of a turn.[5]
III. The Eyes of the Trilobite…
At the bottom of the Geologic Column lies a fossil organism that is so complicated in its structure that it defies evolutionary explanation at its roots. Appearing full-blown in the Cambrian Explosion is the Trilobite with its ecological fitness and its compound eyes, demonstrating ultimate optics in exquisite design.
The lens of the trilobite eyes represents a marvel of design in correcting for "spherical aberration" in its crystalline shape. This problem is seen where light is distorted along the edges of lenses. Rene Descartes and Christian Huygens invented correcting lenses in the 1600's. But the trilobites already possessed the correct shape from the beginning!
IV. The Human Brain…
The physical brain is comprised of over 100 billion cells, each with up to 50,000 neuron connections to other brain cells.[6] This structure receives over 100 million separate signals from the total human body every second. Stanford University professors Stephen Smith and E.A. Moore authored a recent study showing that "[T]he brain's complexity is beyond anything [we had] imagined…the total number of synapses in a brain roughly equal the number of stars in 1,500 Milky Way galaxies!
...Memory patterns and tiny on/off switches, which were long thought to reside in the larger neuron bodies, were instead found to be smaller than the tiny synapse connections. Each of the neurons imaged in the study serves thousands of synapses…One synapse may contain on the order of 1,000 molecular-scale switches. A single human brain has more switches than all the computers and routers and internet connections on earth."[7]
V. The Original Earth…
The marvelous design of Earth's original structure provided optimal benefits to all living systems, especially Man who was placed in charge of the planet. Of special significance was the "firmament" (raqiya) that was divinely set in place on Day Two. It is seen as beginning at the watery Earth and extending throughout space as a universal macrocosm expanse of lattice structure, consisting of charged subatomic particles. These particles formed the structure that would later stabilize the universal arrangement of stellar bodies and various atomic elements.
Simultaneously, in order to focus the benefit of universal radiation, the firmament formed locally as a thin microcosm complex of crystalline structure suspended directly above Earth. Dr. Edward Boudreaux has demonstrated that crystalline materials, such as silicate sugilite, can be held in a suspended canopy lattice by the earth's magnetic field.[8] The firmament, locally and universally, was essentially one seamless whole in structure.
Conclusion…Intelligent Design is observed in all areas of scientific investigation. Any interpretation of these marvelous phenomena as coming about by natural processes represents a willful disregard for the established laws of science and lack of appreciation for the mercies of the Creator Himself.

Creation Lesson #2 - Our Created Earth Uniquely Designed for Life
Author: Creation Evidence Museum Texas | Category: Creation Lessonsno comments | Tags: Creation, Earth, Earth Orbit, Earth Water, Earth's Atmosphere, God, Life, Ocean Tides
Compiled by David V. Bassett, Creation Evidence Museum
"…Speak to the Earth, and it shall teach thee;...Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?" Job 12:8a, 9
Of all the lessons which the Earth continually teaches us, perhaps the most obvious and profound is that it alone among the worlds framed by the Word of God (Heb. 11:3) is divinely crafted, sculpted, and engineered to sustain life. In fact the more we learn about our solar system and the universe, the more unique our Earth becomes. As home to over one million different species of life, each with its own special criteria for survival, the Earth repeatedly reinforces the fact that God orchestrated each detail necessary for terrestrial existence. "For thus saith the LORD Who created the heavens, God Himself Who formed the Earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited; I am the LORD, and there is none else." Isaiah 45: 18
The Creator's matchless formula for life on Earth involves a multitude of planetary parameters working together in a specific and delicate balance. So precise is this prescription, a mere absence or slight alteration in any one of the countless interrelated factors and mutually-dependent variables upon which life hinges could prove cataclysmic. Consider these more noticeable requirements upon which all life on our world depends:
(1) Abundance of Liquid Water --- This flowing treasure is unique in the combination of physical and chemical properties it manifests as the only possible solvent and medium for living cells. More than 70% of the planet is covered by some 326 million cubic miles of liquid water, enough to submerge a perfectly smooth and spherical Earth to a depth of 8,500 feet (over 1.6 miles!!). [Gen. 1:2, 10b / Job 38:34 / Ps. 33:7 / Rev.14:7b; see also Gen. 7:10 & Ps. 104:6]
(2) Cleansing Ocean Tides --- The ebb and flow of Earth's tidal circulation (in response to the lunar gravitational pull) purifies the world ocean and the continental shorelines which serve to enclose its waters. [Prov. 8:29a / Job 26:10; 38:11 / Ps. 104:9]
(3) Ideal Planetary Size and Mass --- With an equatorial diameter of 7,927 miles (Job 38:18 / Isa. 40:22a) and a mass equal to nearly 6.588 sextillion (10 ^ 23 = billion trillion) tons, the Earth is able to provide the perfect gravitational attraction and optimum atmospheric pressure for living organisms. [Job 28:25 / !sa. 40:12]
(4) Life-Sustaining Atmosphere --- It has been said of the Earth that "the existence of its inhabitants hangs upon a thin and delicate sheath of gas that envelops the planet like the skin of an apple." Though over 99% of our atmosphere (composed of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% other gases) lies below 50 miles in altitude, it still is able to (a) provide the necessary oxygen crucial for animal and human respiration, (b) preserve acceptable temperature ranges while avoiding life-threatening extremes of heat and cold, and (c) protect from incoming extraterrestrial debris and (UV) solar radiation. [Gen. 1:20b / Job 37:18 / Ps. 104:3,13]
(5) Protective Magnetic Field --- Supplemented by the Van Allen radiation belts, the ionosphere, and the ozone layer as interior shields of defense, the Earth's magnetic field not only protects us from cosmic bombardment of harmful particles and high-frequency waves, it is also responsible for facilitating cellular communication and directional location. [Prov. 8:27; cp. Ps.5:12]
(6) Proper Orbital Shape --- With a circumference of almost 600 million miles, the Earth's orbit around the Sun is nearly circular in order to minimize extreme temperature variations. [Ps. 19:4b-6]
(7) Perfect Orbital Radius --- Earth's 93 million-mile-average distance from the Sun (typically referred to as one astronomical unit or 1 A.U.) allows our planet to have an ideal surface temperature of 58 degrees Fahrenheit and an average ocean-water temperature of 45 degrees Fahrenheit. In fact, in terms of insolation (i.e., incoming solar radiation), this orbital radius positions our world at the optimum location for life in the entire solar system. [Gen. 1:14-18 / Ps.74:16]
(8) Orbital Speed and Duration --- With an orbital period of exactly 365.256 days, which the Earth can accomplish by racing through space at an incredible 66,600 mph (over 18 miles/sec !!), our planet's seasonal length is conducive for agriculture. [Gen. 1:14]
(9) Angle of Rotational Axis --- Also playing a role in Earth's favorable pattern of climate, the 23.5 degree tilt on its planetary axis permits the four annual seasons and, in the northern hemisphere, increases the amount of suitable land area and fertile soil needed for summer cultivation of crops. [Gen.8:22 / Ps. 74:17]
(10) Rate of Planetary Rotation --- Earth's sidereal day of 23 hours, 56 minutes, 4.09 seconds allows for proper, uniform heating and cooling of its spinning surface (Job 38:14 / Gen. 8:22), as well as the re-circulation of its atmospheric winds and ocean currents in the global hydrologic cycle. [Eccl. 1:5-7 / Ps. 135:7 / Isa. 55:10]
The tolerances for life are extremely narrow, and if there are any other planets in the universe, it is very unlikely that any of them could have life, due to the extremely rigid conditions necessary for life to exist. The mathematical odds that all of these and other essential conditions happened by random chance are indeed astronomical -- in fact, beyond all probability. The ideal combination of prerequisites and requirements crucial to life observed only on Earth surely testifies to intelligent, purposeful design. "The LORD by wisdom hath founded the Earth; by understanding hath He established the heavens." --- Prov. 3:19
To believe that this beautifully balanced life-support system is a mere accident requires invincible faith in the power of blind chance. Would not any honest observer have to admit that the Earth alone appears to have been designed for us to live on, just as the psalmist said?: "The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the Earth hath He given to the children of men." ---Ps. 115:16
Creation Lesson #1 - The Original Creation
Author: Creation Evidence Museum Texas | Category: Creation Lessons1 comment | Tags: Creation, Electromagnetic, God, Water
A chorus of harmonious design and relationship exists throughout the cosmos. The Hand of God is seen in every universal detail of the original creation. All chaos and discord we observe are results of the Fall of man and its universal consequences.[1]
Creation of Earth's Elements from Water
Now, new research by Dr. Edward Boudreaux, Professor Emeritus, University of New Orleans, Ph.D., Chemistry and Chemical Physics, has demonstrated that all of the chemical elements cataloged throughout the Earth could be created by the vibratory "fluttering" action of the Spirit of God on Day One – all from the available elements of water, and all within a period of less than three days under plasma-induced nucleosynthesis![2] This is vastly different from the commonly accepted evolution model requiring some 10-17 billion years for the process.
Additionally, Dr. Boudreaux demonstrates that rapid energy release and thermal cooling of the earth could be accomplished within forty-seven hours, making possible a cool earth for the creation of plants on Day Three.[3] This cooling could be increased substantially by the stretching of space fabric and the release of heat in the process.
A major discovery in his meticulous calculations is that radioactive decay rates would be increased tremendously during the "high energy – elevated temperature" plasma fusion process, and would return to normal decay rates at the end of the quenching phase within a twenty-one hour timeframe.[4] This discovery explains the correlation of "spent" radioactive elements and current decay rates, all within a recent creation framework.
Dr. Boudreaux' proposed scenario is termed "aquo-nucleosynthesis." In his book he cites the work done at the Proton-21 Electrodynamics Research Laboratory in the Ukraine.[5] Their laboratory experiments proved that all known chemical elements can be produced very rapidly from any pure substance containing one or more elements.[6] It is obvious that the Hand of God was directly involved in creating all the elements we are made of, and all that we experience from Creation forward.

Cosmic Design in the Creation
Space itself is essentially occupied by a "cooperating lattice" of subatomic particles.[7] This lattice supports the "tendrils of the cosmic web" and provides orientation for the physical components of the universe.[8] As would then be anticipated, "…All of the masses, charges, and other properties of subatomic particles arise from a uniform chorus of violins playing a symphony of different notes."[9] "…[And] as if by a chain, our planet's surface is connected intimately with the space environment."[10] Scripture anticipated this universal responsive interconnectedness in Hosea 2:21, 22: "And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear saith the Lord, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth; and the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil, and they shall hear Jezreel." Earth's organic and inorganic systems benefit from universal signals, and the particles in space are influenced by signals from Earth.[11]
Why do the other planets exist in relation to these events? Astronomers recognize the "meticulous clockwork accuracy" of celestial bodies. This results from the time-telling purpose of all the heavenly bodies (Gen. 1:14-18). Planets are included in this clockwork design as "stars" in Genesis 1: 16. Another purpose for the planets is that they act together to stabilize the solar system, a fact discovered by the French atheist Laplace in the 1790s. ...In particular, the other planets stabilize the distance of the earth from the sun. ...They keep the earth from approaching too close or moving too far from the sun. This ensures the ability of the earth to support life.[12] God's design is all-inclusive.
Electromagnetic Design in the Creation
All life, including the human body, is under the influence of our EM field.[13] It has been demonstrated that cells in plants communicate with electric signals.[14] In fact, all cells receive electrical signals from the outside world and other cells.[15] Beyond this, reciprocal tuning in magnetic fields of living systems interplays within and between the systems.[16] This all-important Electromagnetic field was the result of the work of the Spirit of God on Day One of the Original Creation.

INTERVIEW: Bad Touch discuss their debut album 'Half Way Home'
A Norfolk five-piece who are turning heads and going places in the industry, Bad Touch blend together elements of classic, 80's rock with blues licks to create a powerhouse of melodic rock. Listing Led Zeppelin, Black Crowes and Rival Sons amongst their influences, they are a band who love to turn up the volume, but also infuse their songs with subtlety and melody.
It bodes well for new album 'Halfway Home', due out at the end of April, and we got a taste of their style when we played their lead single 'Wise Water' on the show last week
https://soundcloud.com/bad-touch-demo/wise-water-1/s-h6g57
The album has been a long time coming for Bad Touch as it's been 5 years since their inception. Having started with cover songs, their set has evolved into their own material. Which they have taken the time to hone and mould into their own style. Patiently working on their own material before launching into a debut album, the result is truly impressive.
Bad Touch are currently supporting The Answer on their UK tour and prior to them taking the stage at Chinnery's, Southend-On-Sea, last week, I sat down with all five members of the band and began by asking about the length of time it's taken them to release their debut album.
MJ: 'Half Way Home' is your debut album. It's been a long time coming. We played the lead single 'Wise Water' on the show last week and I can tell you that it went down really well with the listeners.
Stevie: I'm glad that you say your listeners like Wise Water. Yes, it has been a long time coming. Well, it was just that we all wanted to make sure that, when we got this album out, we wanted to do it right. So, you know, we wanted to make sure that people wanted it. We'd done a few UK tours, and we got our name out there. So, we thought, let's do the album because people want it.
MJ: There's a lot of people that have seen you fellas play. They like your music and we get requests to play Bad Touch. Seeks, how's that sound to you with the reaction that you're getting from the album?
Seeks: It's lovely. It's great that people are asking for us to play our own music. It's fantastic. I mean I don't know how anyone else would feel about it, but just for people wanting our music being played is the whole point we do it, you know?
MJ: Let me turn to Bailey. What is it you're enjoying most about this album?
Bailey: I'm loving it. We spent ages writing it, recording it. And it's now actually out there for people to listen to. That's nice to actually hear them say that they're enjoying it as well.
MJ: George, tell us about the songwriting on this album. Have you all taken a share of responsibilities?
George: We sort of write each song in a different way. Like on some of them one person might have written 90% of it, but other songs you might just get a guitar riff and then we all sort of collaborated together. But, in general, it's hugely more or less one person has the germ idea, and then we all take it away, and then we all write our own parts to it. And lyrics can be done in one night or one year, you know?
Stevie: That's one of the things I love about being in Bad Touch the best is getting everyone else's ideas and going, "Wow. That sounds awesome. I'd have never have thought of that."
MJ: Rob, you're obviously testing out the new songs on this tour?
Rob: On the set at the moment is all the new stuff from the album. There's no sort of old tracks from the old EP. But, we've got a couple more experimental tracks on the album where we sort of do our thing where it goes on for a little while. They're blues-y, slower. So, we try to keep it more upbeat with the set that we're doing. But, obviously, we've got half an hour set, so we sort of want to get on there, do our thing, and then come off. So, it's going well at the moment. The Answer guys, they sort of pick the particular tracks they like, and they've been really cool about it. So, it's all going well.
MJ: And the feedback, Stevie, on this tour with The Answer has been really positive.
Stevie: Yeah. It's lovely to have all these people saying how much they're enjoying it, both the album and the live performances and stuff like that. I mean, but we take criticism where criticism is due just like we take credit. We're quite aware that we're not breaking any sort of boundaries with regards to musical experimentation. We're quite happy doing what we do and it being feel good, rock music, you know? I think too many times people are caught up in it and the brains behind it and think, "Oh, we've got to be new. We've got to…" It's like, if it sounds good and you enjoy playing it, then that's all that matters. And, if people enjoy it, then even better, you know?
MJ: You seem to have found your feet with this album.
Stevie: Oh, that's very kind of you. No, we definitely wanted to make sure that you say that. The thing with this album, which I'm most happy is that it sounds like us. If you came to see us and bought the album, you wouldn't get the album home and go, "This doesn't sound like them." It captures us or what it is to be Bad Touch, you know?
George: In the album, we've tried things on the album that is different, but that's the whole point of an album. But, it's not like we've gone synthesizers, and electric drum kits, and things. It's basically a five-piece rock band doing what they do, you know? And we did everything on the album.
MJ: Well, we're going to leave it here because you're off to sound check. Thanks so much for chatting with us on The Classic Rock Show. Last few words from you guys for the fans out there?
Seeks: A big thank you everyone and to your listeners for the support.
Rob: Yeah. Thanks a lot everyone. You've been great.
George: Yeah. Keep coming to the gigs and keep rocking!
Bailey: If you haven't heard the album yet, we hope you enjoy it.
Stevie: Just want to say thanks for listening and, even more so, thanks for wanting us. And thanks too to The Classic Rock Show for putting us up.

With more than 68 years of office furniture industry experience between them, the team at Pannello Systems in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, did not have to think too hard about the best software for their dealership when they opened for business in March 2011.
For Client Services Manager Marissa McKeon, TeamDesign was the logical choice—particularly when the cloud-based version became available.
Prior to joining Pannello, McKeon had served as the TeamDesign® trainer at a Boston-area dealership, so she already had an in-depth understanding of the program and its strengths.
TeamDesign excels in the way that it interfaces with the specification and order processing aspects of office furniture—a "must have" feature of the software, according to McKeon.
At Pannello, that means a commitment to integrating technology into as much of the business as possible, and, she says, ECiCloud for TeamDesign plays a critical role in that effort.
"We have an internal commitment to assemble a high-performance team that leverages the best technology available," she explains. For maximum efficiency, Pannello personnel work remotely whenever possible.
In hard dollars and cents, the benefits are both immediate and impressive. "Before the cloud-based version of TeamDesign, we were looking at an upfront technology investment that could have been as much as $15,000," McKeon reports.
Instead, the dealership paid a nominal fee to set up on ECiCloud for TeamDesign and a monthly payment of just a few hundred dollars. This investment provides access to full TeamDesign functionality.
The net impact of the switch to the cloud?
In addition to avoiding that initial $15,000 investment, McKeon is also saving a great deal of time.
"With the hosted version, we don't have to worry about back-ups and other routine maintenance and that has freed up at least five hours a week of my time and allowed me to focus on other, more important aspects of the business," she reports.
"And as someone who knows TeamDesign very well and who has trained others on it, I really haven't noticed any significant differences between the server-based system and the hosted version," she adds.
Right now, the top priority for McKeon and the rest of the Pannello Systems team is building the brand of their new dealership and developing a strong base of corporate accounts.
"We see some tremendous opportunities for a dealership like ours, that combines many years of industry experience and expertise with a low-cost operating model," McKeon says. "The Greater Boston market may be one of the most competitive in the country, but we are confident in our ability to set ourselves apart and provide a superior value proposition to the corporate accounts we are targeting," she asserts.
For Pannello, moving to ECiCloud for TeamDesign represents a key component of that value proposition and, if their initial experiences offer any indication, nothing but clear skies lie ahead!

Blogging will take over the world!
In recent years, it's been pretty obvious that "blogging" (Web + Log = Blog)has simply taken over the internet.
Early blogs were first used by creative (bored?) indivuals, and larger news companies. http://info.cern.ch/ was one of the earliest blogs, followed by NCSA's "Whats New" and also NetScapes "Whats New" blog. After this point the blogging scene exploded.
What exactly is blogging? Many consider blogging in it's truest form a type of internet diary. In it's most pure and basic form its simply a single, scrolling webpages with a few links on the side, and an archive table, and larger, prominent updates in the center of the pages. Users usually post small excerpts about daily life, recent events, or news.
Creative writers often attract groups of people, who will pursue and follow that blog, often posting comments on updates. Some writers write outrageous, offensive things that also attract readers. Some people write about personal experiences, and some just flat out write whatever they want!
RSS, (really simple syndication) also started directly because of blogs. Rather than visit an indivual site over and over again to read the updates and posts, coders started using xml to enable these updates to be available anywhere in the world. In response, RSS has created a whole new chapter in the SEO world, all because of blogging.
Many people have begun to weave affiliate links and even sell there own products through their blogs, relying on their dedicated readerbase to generate huge conversion rates. Programs like WordPress can generate ENTIRE web sites simply by advanced forms of blogging. One of my own sites, www.emoneyreport.com utilizes this program. Instead of bloggin real life experiences, we blog our article updates and program reviews. Very nifty!
Even major search engines are taking part in the blog scene. Most noticably, Google, purchased the site www.blogger.com. Now google controls the largest, most successful blogging site to date! Google indexes and spiders every post created on this site, EVERY day. It's common practice to create a blog, write small posts and link to your own site through the blog, and doing this you can get spidered and indexed within a day!
We have to ask ourselves, whats next for blogging? Will blogging become the next form of linking? Who knows? All I know for sure is that I like what blogging has become, and that it allows my site to generate income for hundreds of people all over the internet.

KENYA, AFRICA / ACCESSWIRE / March 11, 2019 / Midway Resources International (MRI), the Africa focused oil and gas company, is pleased to announce the preliminary results of drilling of the Pate-2 well on Blocks L4 & L13, Kenya. The operator, Zarara Oil & Gas Limited (Zarara), a wholly owned subsidiary of MRI, drilled the well to a total depth of 4,307 meters and penetrated the primary Lower Tertiary Kipini objective.
The well was drilled on Pate Island and targeted the Pate sub-basin in the onshore Lamu Basin in eastern Kenya. Drilling took considerably longer than had been planned, partly because of difficult drilling conditions comprising very hard shales in the caprock interval. More recently higher pressures had to be carefully managed to maintain a safe operation.
The drilling to date has confirmed the presence of relatively higher pressure natural gas in several reservoir intervals with in the Kipini Formation. Some 23 metres of net pay gas has been intersected. However, a clear gas water contact has not yet been identified during drilling or logging. The well has not been tested as the intersected sands, being relatively thin and fine grained are now believed to be located in the distal part of the Kipini delta. As a result, the well is considered unlikely to be commercial on a standalone basis and will be plugged and abandoned, although it would be capable of re-entry if desired.
The well results successfully confirmed a working petroleum system in the Pate sub-basin of the Lamu Basin. In addition to any further appraisal activity with respect to Pate-2 well, Zarara will now focus its further exploration activity within a Kipini play fairway that Zarara believes exists within Blocks L4 and L13.


HP has designed motion-based technology which will allow for PC users to operate their computer without clicking, pressing, or swiping. HP will be incorporating Leap Motion in its future PCs and if users take to it, you could see Leap Motion in more HP computers in the future.
It could even become common place—especially if you consider that implementing touchscreen technology can be a bit on the pricey side. Not only that, but popular 3D cameras are priced at around $150. This results in the product being priced beefily and consumers turning away from what should be a hot selling piece of technology. The $80 Leap Motion Controller being an actual part of PCs could mean sales jumping back up since manufacturers are trying to find features that make their PCs and devices stand out. Hands down, it is cheaper for PC manufacturers to integrate motion technology.
HP will start bundling select PCs in their line with Leap Motion this summer. In January, Leap Motion was announced for ASUS' notebooks as well as their All-in-One line of PCs.
The Leap Motion Controller has a 150 degree field of view and uses sensor instead of the standard VGA cameras to pick up motion. The sensor is said to be accurate enough to pick up movements smaller than the head of a pin. It will be shipped May 13 and can be pre-ordered for $80 from Leap Motion's website. The Controller will come with two USB cables, free app downloads from Leap Motion's store, and the controller itself. It has been confirmed to work with Windows 7 or Windows 8 on an Intel Core processor as well as Mac OS X 10.8.
Again, The Leap Motion Controller will ship May 13 and will be available from their website and on store shelves via Best Buy.

poorly edited mistakes throughout the book would have been better if the people were list chronologically instead of alphabetically.
Chad Wolfgang Chad Wolfgang	says:
This was the worst editing of any book I have ever read It only got two stars because the subject matter is something I enjoy.
Matthew Dambro Matthew Dambro	says:
A picture book with very brief articles on military leaders from the ancient world It would serve as a very introductory summary.
Nathan Albright Nathan Albright	says:
This book has all the telltale signs of a book that was rushed to the market with minimal copy editing, and the knowledge that there was demand for a book on ancient military history and that it was important in the publisher s mind to get a book for sale than it was to make sure that the book was polished Presumably, if the work sells enough, it can be edited in a second edition As a fond reader of ancient history and military history 1 , I feel ambivalent about this work On the one hand, I am glad that someone took the effort to examine ancient leaders, defend the timescale they were looking at ,and made sure that they did not ignore the rich military history of East and South Asia On the other hand, though, this is a sloppy work, with inconsistent dates, short entries that are filled in by reproductions of artwork with dubious historical accuracy about the scenes portrayed, and very sloppy printing, including at least one entry, that for Mark Anthony Marcus Antonius , a duplication of the first paragraph of the entry 103 104 that somehow was not caught in the light to nonexistent editing process this book went through.Concerning the contents and structure of the book, it is straight forward and in many ways laudable The author introduces his subject, defends the end of ancient history at the fall of Rome in 476AD, and expresses his desire to recognize the scope of world history and not only Western history, at least insofar as historical records exist And the author achieves those aims, organizing leaders, some of whom merit only a short paragraph, like the noted leaders of the Three Kingdoms period in China in the twilight days of the later Han and beyond, and others of whom are given entries that last several pages The author shows a broad familiarity with military history across cultural boundaries, although the author does not mention warfare in areas outside of the realm of historical familiarity for the author, such as Sub Saharan Africa, Oceania, Southeast Asia, and the Americas Even so, this is far better than most historical accounts of ancient history The entries for military leaders, including those known from biblical history as well as from Greek myth and legend, are organized in alphabetical order, by the name that the person is known to its reading audience For example, this means that Gnaeus Pompey who we know as Pompey is included under P and not G Aside from its immensely sloppy production, which would not have required a great deal of time to tighten up, but which was apparently beyond the ken of the folks at Compendium who produced this effort, this book has a lot worthy of praise Fans of art history will be especially pleased by this work, which shows marble busts, terracotta images, and reproductions of paintings about its subjects in a way that is truly impressive In fact, this book has at least as much art on it as it does text, which means that this book will be most pleasing to those readers who appreciate artwork about the ancient world, even when it is highly anachronistic in its presentation At the very least, the use of art demonstrates the legitimacy of studying such leaders because of their importance to broader culture, and if this is a deliberate aim, to legitimize the study of ancient military history in light of broader cultural interests, it is a successful aim Let us hope that the publishers and authors are not too embarrassed by the rough state of the text of this book, which does not meet the polished promise of its gorgeous images, because it is likely that most people who want to read about ancient history are going to care a lot about the text At least they should 1 See, for example
Robert Clark Robert Clark	says:
A good, but superficial, account of many military commanders of ancient times To some extent the superficial aspect can be forgiven If the author had gone into detail on everyone he covered he would have filled an encyclopedia, but, considering the concept involved, I think he should have gone a bit into strategies, tactics, and key battles wars of the people covered Still a good general reference work, although not intended as a book for someone to simply sit down and read.
Cassandra Woods Cassandra Woods	says:
There were numerous typos, and with some the end of the sentence was missing An alright read but needed better proof reading and better placement of the pictures so that it didn t cut into the flow of the reading.

Great book on short bursts I am still trying to figure out how Mycenaean warriors wore that armor which is like garbage can.

Intellian's v65 Antenna Packs a Punch
Live network testing conducted by Marlink over the newest Intelsat EpicNG High Throughput Ku-band satellite demonstrates that the v65 system will enable users to achieve high throughput connectivity for vessels of all sizes.
Maritime satellite antenna systems provider Intellian Technologies said its v65 Ku/Ka band convertible satellite communications system has been independently tested by satellite communications service provider Marlink and exceeds all expectations in terms of performance efficiency on the company's newly launched 60cm global network.
The enhanced efficiency of Intellian's v65 system when used in conjunction with today's High Throughput Satellites reflects an advancement in capability, particularly pertinent for vessels that can only accommodate a smaller antenna. To verify the throughput speed, engineers at Marlink tested Intellian's v65 VSAT system at the company's testing facility in Eik, Norway, along with other antennas of varying sizes.
Testing was carried out on the Marlink Network using Intelsat 33e, the newest Intelsat EpicNG satellite to provide high throughput satellite Ku-band coverage to the EMEA region, to determine maximum throughput levels. Marlink concluded that Intellian's v65 VSAT system, combined with the global coverage of Marlink's Sealink VSAT and the advanced capabilities of the IS-33e high throughput satellite, allows ship owners access to high-end service packages that create opportunities to reduce cost, maximize uptime and increase profitability.
Mark Rasmussen, Vice President and General Manager, Mobility, for Intelsat, said, "The performance of the Intelsat EpicNG platform overall has validated our design and strategy and is advancing our vision of unlocking access to new, larger and faster-growing sectors."
He added, "Ecosystem partners, such as Marlink and Intellian, are innovating to maximize the customer benefit from the higher performance, better economics and simpler access provided by Intelsat EpicNG, providing a real game-changer for maritime networks."
Tore Morten Olsen, President Maritime, Marlink, commented, "In a market with ever-increasing expectations for faster and smoother connectivity, we have been keenly focused on working with our partners to develop an innovative approach to delivering the best in practice solutions, ensuring that customers receive a comprehensive and reliable satellite communications service to suit them."
Launched in March 2017, Intellian's v65 antenna is designed to drive the adoption of new connectivity solutions for fleet operators looking to enhance communications capabilities beyond legacy L-band systems. Featuring an updated design to reduce cabling and deliver plug and play installation capability, ships can install and activate the compact system within a few hours' time, minimizing any potential for operational downtime.
Matthew Galston, Strategic Marketing Director at Intellian, said, "The launch of Marlink's Sealink VSAT service via 60cm Ku-band antennas genuinely redefines expectations of what constitutes fast and reliable onboard connectivity. It has opened the market to a wider customer base, and created opportunities to achieve greater, more cost effective and more reliable service for vessels which can only accommodate a smaller antenna. The improved transmit speed capability is particularly important to note, as over time more data will need to flow from the ship back to shore, or perhaps ship to cloud to enable the industry's digital transformation."
Galston continued, "Our close partnership with Marlink ensures that our customers receive a comprehensive and connected smart system that is tailored to suit their onboard communications needs. The combined expertise of our companies and the values we share are the foundation for a partnership that will bring enormous benefits to VSAT users."
