Southern Knights
A century ago, World War One changed the course of history.
Click this image to help make a WW1 aviation documentary.
Total, global, industrial and mechanical, it was a new kind of conflict that redrew maps, destroyed families – from royal to rural, helped emancipate women, and hand-propped the infant aviation industry.
For the first time in history, young men would wheel simple but surprisingly advanced machines high above the mud-bound stalemate of artillery and trench sieges.
And in four frantic years of fighting and dying, those eager boys would write the enduring rules of air combat and define the future of air power.
Murderous, cold and incontinent

By all honest accounts it was a murderous, cold and incontinent business.
(Constant exposure to the castor oil smoke, a powerful laxative, from their total loss rotary engines meant pilots suffered interminable diarrhoea. The growing use of stationery engines must have some as a great, ahem, relief.)
When it was over, there were more than 30,000 dead or missing and only a few hundred aces, many of whom were also dead. But the cult of the fighter pilot had been born, and glamorised stories of those early airmen have inspired aviators ever since.

Wherever you live, you can probably name your country's top WW1 aces: Germany had Richthofen, of course, plus Bolcke, Immelman, Voss and more. The UK produced Mannock and McCudden; Canadians can name Billy Bishop; Rickenbacker for Americans; Guynemer, Garros and Fonck for France.
And so it goes – from Argentina to Swaziland. But even if you asked an informed Australian to name some of this nation's top aces, they'd probably be left scratching their head. Go on, name a couple now… See?
It's not that Australia didn't produce aces – it certainly did; keep reading – but like most of our Great War history, their achievements have come second to the ANZAC landings at Gallipoli.
'Lest we forget', indeed
Now, at long last, we've been handed the chance to do something about it. So, please, take your head-scratching hand and put it into into your hip pocket.
The Australian Vintage Aviation Society (TAVAS) has grown out of the drive and passion of Andrew Carter, a Queensland-based ATPL who is working with a passionate core of volunteers and subscribing members to give the country its first and only flying museum of aircraft from the World War One era.
The collection includes a Fokker E.III 'Eindekker', DR.I Triplane, D.VII and D.VIII; a Bristol F2.B 'Brisfit' and an SE5a. Flying rotary engines bring the unique sounds and smells of early aviation back to life for this country and its people.

TAVAS simply gives Australia what England enjoys at Old Warden, the US at Old Rheinbeck, New Zealand at Omaka, France at La Ferté Alais, and so on around the world.
Now the museum has the opportunity to extend its mission of educating Australians about the incredible part the nation's aviators played in World War, by producing a documentary movie about the pilots, personalities and machines of that era.

It's something no other individual, museum or government body in Australia could achieve. And it will be done with support from people like us, who are still inspired by those first great aviators.

TAVAS has already started gathering stories and family memories of First World War flyers. Meanwhile, the documentary producers have set up a crowd-funding page that you can use to help make the all-important air-to-air footage a reality.
As Andrew points out, it only needs every able aviation enthusiast to contribute a few dollars, then pass this story on to others who could help – from contacts in other countries to business owners and corporate citizens looking for a unique and powerful sponsorship opportunity. So please Click here to make your donation, then share the cause around your network.

There are some great rewards for supporting the crowd-funding drive – from postcards and photobooks to a flight at the guns of the Bristol Fighter – and, at the very least, we'll all get a great aviation documentary out of it.
But at best, we'll help TAVAS return aviation heritage to the forefront of Australia's memory, and let those long-gone aviators inspire another generation of enthusiasts, pilots, maintainers, controllers, homebuilders and more… In fact, all the members of a healthy and vibrant aviation community.
And there's such a lot for them to be inspired by. . .

Powered flight didn't even come to Australia until 1910, but less than a year later our first great contributions – Harry Hawker, Harry Kauper and Harry Busteed – were in England looking for careers in aviation. (They would soon be, respectively, Sopwith's Chief Test Pilot, Sopwith's Foreman of Works, and Bristol Aeroplane's Chief Test Pilot. Quite a record.)

By October 1912, Australia had promulgated an independent Flying Corps – one of the world's first air forces. And when war came in 1914, more Australians rushed to England to fly.
The Royal Naval Air Service arguably got the best of them. Robert 'Rikki' Little, a Victorian who made his way to England and paid for his own flying lessons, would achieve 47 official victories over France – making him the 15th most successful ace of all nations. In May 1918 he was shot through both thighs by ground fire, managed to land in a farm field, then bled to death in his cockpit.
Close behind was another RNAS 'Tripehound' ace, Roderic 'Stan' Dallas from rural Queensland. He would gain 39 official victories although different researches offer anything from 32 to over 50. He too would be killed in action in 1918.
A very Australian example
Meanwhile, the Australian Flying Corps had begun training its own body of pilots at Point Cook, near Melbourne. In 1915, a half-flight was deployed to Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq); by 1916 No.1 Squadron was active in the Middle East.
On March 20th, 1917, AFC Lieutenant Frank McNamara won the Victoria Cross in the Sinai. The London Gazette of 8 June 1917 recounted his extraordinary actions.

Lt. Frank Hubert McNamara, Aus. Forces, R.F.C.
For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty during an aerial bomb attack upon a hostile construction train, when one of our pilots was forced to land behind the enemy's lines.
Lt. McNamara, observing this pilot's predicament and the fact that hostile cavalry were approaching, descended to his rescue. He did this under heavy rifle fire and in spite of the fact that he himself had been severely wounded in the thigh.
He landed about 200 yards from the damaged machine, the pilot of which climbed onto Lt. McNamara's machine, and an attempt was made to rise. Owing, however, to his disabled leg, Lt. McNamara was unable to keep his machine straight, and it turned over. The two officers, having extricated themselves, immediately set fire to the machine and made their way across to the damaged machine, which they succeeded in starting.
Finally Lt. McNamara, although weak from loss of blood, flew this machine back to the aerodrome, a distance of seventy miles, and thus completed his comrade's rescue.
Famously, as his squadron-mates lifted him from the plane, McNamara "could only utter exhausted expletives" until he passed out. It is a very, very Australian example of toughness, bravery, mateship and swearing.

The making of our nation
From WW1 beginnings…MacRobertson-Miller Fokker F28-1000 VH-FKA at Perth in the early 1970s. (John Wheatley | wikipedia GNU 1.2)
Hundreds more Australians would earn their wings and spurs with the AFC, RFC, RNAS and RAF, then bring those skills home to transform this 'wide brown land'.
'Lawrence of Arabia', the famed T.E. Lawrence, named South Australian Ross MacPherson Smith as his preferred pilot in his memoirs The Seven Pillars Of Wisdom. Smith scored 11 aerial victories during the war then, in 1919, flew the 19,000 kilometres home to Adelaide in global aviation's defining long-distance epic.
Veteran Horrie Miller co-founded MacRobertson-Miller Airways or MMA, which became Ansett Australia. Norman Brearly bridged the vast distances of Western Australia by starting Australian National Airways – 'the forgotten giant of Australian aviation'.
Meanwhile, Norman Brearly's Western Australian Airways of 1921 would grow into ANA, then Ansett ANA and finally Ansett Australia. (State Lib. of Western Australia 136339PD)
My personal favourite is local boy Harry Butler who joined the RFC and was posted to the Air Gunnery Schools. A gifted instructor, there's no way to measure his total impact on Britain's air war, but when he returned to Adelaide in 1919 his flying displays attracted crowds that would not be matched until The Beatles came to town 50 years later.
Other pivotal airmen include WW1 Trans-Pacific pioneer Charles Kingsford-Smith and his co-pilot/navigator P G 'Gordon' Taylor; QANTAS founders Hudson Fysh and Paul McGinness; plus air mail pioneer and 27-victory ace Roy King.
Worth remembering
The achievements of our WW1 aviators are still highly relevant and resonant… You need only look up. (© airscape Photo)
These men weren't just war heroes. They created and lead Australia's airlines, aviation authorities and Air Forces for decades. I'd argue that they've had a more profound influence on our modern history, development and society than any group before or since.
If you don't think that's worth remembering and teaching to younger generations, then you have very different priorities from me. . . which is the kind of freedom our airmen fought for in the first place.
So please stand with TAVAS and their Southern Knights, Northern Skies project.

Aviationtrails says:
These gentlemen of the skies certainly were true pioneers, skilled and brave they were perhaps a little naive in their outlook. But thanks to them and their kind, we have an aviation industry that is stunning in every way. With the centenary of the First World War having lots of media attention over here in the UK, many more people are becoming aware of this war and its battles. On a recent visit to the the RAF museum at Hendon, London, I was surprised to see that the First World War aviation hangar was empty of people, whilst the Second World War hanger was very busy. Perhaps more needs to be done to raise the profile of these young pioneers and what better way then through a project like this. Good luck to them.
airscapemag says:
It's true – even with all the media attention on WW1 Centenaries, WW2's aircraft and pilots still get all the limelight. The BoB 75th couldn't have helped either… I guess that as more WW1 replicas get built and flying, public awareness will rise.
The thing about the huge difference the 'Southern Knights' made to Australia (and being a vast, empty country with benign seasons, it was just begging for an aviation infrastructure) is that their contribution was equalled by the airmen from each country – Alcock & Brown, and Eddie Rickenbacker both spring to mind…
There has certainly been an increase in flying replicas here, (even Bruce Dickinson from iron maiden has one) which will go someway to helping. I think being so far from the European theatre of WWI, the Aussies (whose contribution was quite rightly akin to those you mention), do sadly get left out. Maybe it'll change soon.
I think you're right. I hope so anyway. The growth in replicas and interest over the past dozen years has been phenomenal.

Safety watch: Using GPS, routing technology to improve driver safety
Beth Hyatt Presley
Fleet safety on the road is of utmost importance to professional landscaping companies, but how can you as the owner make sure your crews are following your company's safety guidelines?
According to Kerry McCane, vice president of product management with WorkWave, and Riccardo Bocci, director of product management with WorkWave, implementing a GPS tracking and route planning system into your company's daily commute could prove beneficial in numerous ways.
Take a look at some of the benefits McCane and Bocci say have been associated with the implementation of this type of fleet technology and what you as a company owner need to keep in mind when considering it.
Driver safety issues and safety training
When it comes to the most common driving issues WorkWave has noticed, Bocci says there are some pretty defined patterns such as lack of seat belt usage, distracted driving, idling, acceleration, road rage and excessive use of cellphones.
To try and combat these issues, McCane and Bocci both agree that WorkWave solutions could potentially help cut down on these issues.
"By deciding to make an investment in technology, (companies) can absolutely address these concerns," says Bocci. "Routing and scheduling optimization are really functional to not only efficiency and making the business better but also as a first step toward fleet and driver safety."
It may seem obvious to those who have been in business a while, but Bocci says one of the most effective methods for keeping fleets safe while out on road is to have a driving safety plan in place that employees will follow and respect. He adds that another beneficial aspect employers can implement is offering educational and informative driver safety workshops.
"In order to keep the fleet safe, technology can really help in a sense that it all starts with a good, solid plan that makes sure technicians are not overloaded and they don't get too many jobs without stressing out too much," says Bocci.
This, he says, is where the benefits of the GPS tracking capabilities come into play. By utilizing the WorkWave system, Bocci says employers can monitor drivers, routes and execution of the routes to make sure no one is deviating from the predetermined safety plan and plotted courses.
Having this GPS trackability, Bocci notes, also means that if someone were to call and complain about your vehicles or workers behaving badly in a certain area or at a specific time, you can go into the system and track exactly where your trucks were at the time of the accusation. This, McCane says, adds a level of accountability and reassurance to your everyday workflow.
"The technology allows you to measure all of this, but when it comes to what are the most effective methods that companies may have found for implementing these safe driving practices, I think it's very important to make sure that the company that is using this technology is also extremely aware of it and really invests in some sort of safety/GPS policy in order to follow up properly," says Bocci.
An example Bocci uses is drivers with a track record of forceful or excessive braking. There could be many reasons behind this action, but Bocci asks what if the driver is distracted because he/she is receiving too many calls, texts or emails from the office? Bocci says that identifying problems like this is the first step to correcting it as an organization instead of just immediately punishing the driver.
Bocci says fleet safety, driver behavior and driver and technician retention are all issues in the professional landscaping industry. These WorkWave tools, he says, help look at, solve or decrease these problems by providing transparency that can also help solve disputes.
Accountability and ROI
When trying to introduce this product to customers, McCane and Bocci agree that it all comes down to how it's presented and communicated to employees.
For some, having every drive they take tracked and monitored can feel like an invasion of privacy or a lack of trust, but when presented with the benefits WorkWave solutions can bring to both the company and employee, McCane and Bocci are confident more employees will be on board.
"It's a tradeoff in some cases," says McCane. "They feel a bit like Big Brother's watching them from a GPS and location, but when the owner does invest in the full solution, the technician can also benefit. If they're getting paid by the job, for example, they get three more jobs (done) in a day, so their take-home pay goes up. Or they are using our mobile app, which helps them with upsell, cross-sell opportunities, so their take-home pay goes up."
McCane says that WorkWave Service is a field service management solution used specifically in the lawn and landscape industry. Usually, it can take about four hours of onboarding to get the program up and running to be of use to a company.
As far as routing and GPS functionality, McCane says WorkWave customers have reported a return on investment (ROI) of 30 percent efficiency rate after implementing WorkWave's routing solutions into their fleet.
This 30 percent, she says, comes from multiple avenues, like fuel savings, labor savings and revenue increase because employees are able to get more jobs in an area done during the day with the same number of employees.
"The ROI comes from not just a decrease in insurance rates and a decrease in claims and damages, but also from the other savings that come about from better scheduling, better routing, more jobs in a day and labor savings," says McCane.
McCane says when you take a company that's not doing any kind of routing or optimization and bring them into this type of technology, they get more efficiency in the field as well as efficiency in the office in that they can close out work orders in the mobile app and produce automatic invoicing for customers.
Do I really need it?
Bocci and McCane note that yes, there will be some pushback from companies when the idea of implementing this type of fleet technology is mentioned, and they have been asked time and time again whether or not the technology is necessary.
"It is worth noting that it's sometimes easy to say, 'This might be nice, but I've been running my business the same way for 30 years. Do I really need this? Is there something more urgent?' The answer really is no," says Bocci. "This is something that everybody should have."
Bocci says there might, indeed, be some diffidence from companies in the beginning, but if the technology is implemented and presented in the right way, he says the vast majority of WorkWave customers really understand by the first month of use that they can't do without it.
He does add that on occasion there will be a disgruntled customer with an old-style mindset that says they know better and this new way isn't working, but Bocci says if the users are doing what they are supposed to, they will benefit from additional tools to make it easier.
"I think in the past, there was this perception that adding a layer of technology to your company was something that would be super disruptive, would take a million years and would require consultants, but now really it's a subscription model," says Bocci. "Our onboarding support will guide you and it just takes a little bit of practice, and you're up and running in a couple of days."

Albert Buske (* 7. August 1904 in Solingen; † 31. Oktober 1980 in Berlin) war ein deutscher Architekt und einer der wichtigsten Designer der DDR.

Leben und Werk
Nach einer Lehre in einem Architekturbüro war Buske Schüler bei verschiedenen Künstlern und Kunsthandwerkern in Hagen. Zu seinen Freunden gehörten dort die späteren Künstler August Agatz, Johannes Behler-Job (1909–1987), Heinrich Brocksieper und Will Lammert. Buske studierte dann von 1927 bis 1931 am Bauhaus in Dessau. Zu seinen Kommilitonen gehörte Franz Ehrlich, dem er später in der DDR Aufträge vermittelte.

1927 wurde Buske Mitglied der KPD. Ab 1928 war er politischer Leiter der einflussreichen KPD-Zelle am Bauhaus, der u. a. Selman Selmanagić angehörte, und ab 1930 Agitprop-Leiter des KPD-Unterbezirks Dessau. Er setzte sich in diesen Funktionen für den Erhalt des Bauhauses ein. Bis 1935 war er mehrere Jahre arbeitslos. In der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus beteiligte er sich mit weiteren Bauhäuslern und jungen Künstlern am Widerstand gegen das Nazi-Regime. Er wurde mehrfach von der Gestapo inhaftiert.

Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs nahm Buske aktiv am gesellschaftlichen Neuaufbau in Ostdeutschland teil. Von 1946 bis 1947 war er Bürgermeister von Schlotheim, danach Leiter des Organisationsbüros für Messen und Ausstellungen in Leipzig und von 1949 bis 1954 Leiter des Entwurfsbüros des Leipziger Messeamts. Von 1953 bis 1971 war er in Berlin stellvertretender Direktor des Instituts für angewandte Kunst, des späteren Amts für industrielle Formgestaltung. Er brachte die Ideen der Moderne in die Produktgestaltung in der DDR ein. Design-Entwürfe Buskes gingen in der DDR in die Produktion, so im Fernmeldewerk Leipzig 1955 das Tonbandgerät KB 100.

Buske hatte eine Gastdozentur an der Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee. Zu seinen Schülern gehörte u. a. Erich John.

Umm Sayyaf
Abu Sayyaf was killed in a Delta Force raid of his Syrian compound in June, which resulted in a treasure trove of intelligence about the Islamic State group. Umm Sayyaf has been turned over to the Iraqi Kurds for trial.
Why, if she was seized in an illegal US raid in Syria? Why was she not handed over to the Syrian authorities for trial on whatever happened in Raqqa? On what grounds was she detained by foreign fighters illegally on Syrian soil in the first place? It is also an expression of the recognition of the independent Kurdish state by the US. State Department? Note the way this is dressed-up.
UPDATE 9th Feb 2016
A 25-year-old Iraqi woman. Nisreen Assad Ibrahim Bahar, also known as Umm Sayyaf, the widow of the slain ISIS leader was accused this week of taking part in the 2013 abduction of Kayla Jean Mueller.
The Justice Department said she is in Iraqi custody for terrorism-related activities. "We fully support the Iraqi prosecution of Sayyaf and will continue to work with the authorities there to pursue our shared goal of holding Sayyaf accountable for her crimes," said John Carlin, assistant attorney general in charge of the Justice Department's National Security Division. "We will continue to pursue justice for Kayla and for all American victims of terrorism," he said. Prosecutors said Umm Sayyaf threatened Mueller and two other women who were being held, "telling them she would kill them if they did not listen to her."

Sun Outlines Web Services Plan at Summit
By Matt Migliore
Sun Microsystems offered its first structured public explanation of its Sun Open Net Environment initiative and Web services vision on Tuesday at its inaugural Services on Demand Summit.
"Sun ONE will now be to Sun what Java was in 1995," said Ed Zander, Sun's president and COO, during his keynote address.
The summit, a one-day affair, kicks off a 30-plus city tour of similar events, as the Palo Alto computing giant looks to get the word out about its Web services-related offerings, including its recently announced Liberty Alliance federated authentication system.
According to Zander, Sun ONE is a software architecture for building Web services that can be accessed anywhere with any device –- a strategy similar to that which Microsoft is proposing with .NET. However, Zander made numerous efforts to differentiate Sun ONE from .NET throughout his keynote.
Zander said, while Sun's solutions under Sun ONE, like iPlanet and the Forte Java development tools, are being optimized to work together, Sun ONE promotes the use of solutions from outside vendors as well through standards-based computing. Meanwhile, Zander painted .NET as a veiled effort at open standards computing that will ultimately just tie users to the Microsoft platform. "With Sun ONE, we're talking about integrateable," said Zander. "With .NET, I really think we're talking about something that's integrated."
Sun's jabs at competitive offerings didn't stop at .NET, as both Zander and Sun CEO Scott McNeally also took shots at IBM's efforts in the Web services space. "If you've got a wallet, [IBM's] got a Hoover," said McNeally, who described Big Blue's Web services strategy as even more focused on proprietary solutions than .NET.
Like it did with Java, Sun is touting Sun ONE as a community-driven effort. During his keynote, McNeally called for the help of the developer community in building the Sun ONE architecture. He said, the goal of Sun ONE is to enable companies to deploy every piece of their business logic on the Web regardless of vendor or platform. McNeally drew a parallel between Sun ONE and a virtual jukebox, where the applications are compact discs and the pieces of business logic are individual songs.
McNeally also made efforts to portray Sun as a veteran of the Web services concept. "We started with one of the most important Web services ever – and that's TCP/IP," said McNeally. "Since we started in 1982, we never shipped a system without [TCP/IP]," he said. "We've been doing this for a long time, we just never thought you had to name it."
Another thing Sun wanted to make clear during the summit was its experience as a software vendor. Zander explained Sun has always had a strong presence in the software space. "What drives a lot of our hardware sales is, in fact, software," he said.
It is of critical importance to Sun ONE that Sun build its reputation in the enterprise software market. The Solaris operating system, iPlanet server platforms, and Forte Java development tools all will play critical roles in the future of Sun ONE, and each are being optimized to work more closely together with their next releases. Sun said Solaris 9.0, which is currently in the midst of beta tests, is expected to be publicly available by the middle of next year.
According to Zander, Sun has been working on its Services on Demand strategy for the past three years, making key acquisitions and partnerships, like Forte and iPlanet, to better position itself for a services delivery model. Now Sun believes it is ready to start building on its services strategy. "We're moving into the second generation of the Internet," said Zander. "We want to make companies be able to use the Internet in a very open and scalable way."

Laurie Simmons Lets You Escape The Real World In "My Art" : BUST Review
BY Anna Wesche
"It seems like art," says John Rothman's character towards the end of My Art, and it is. The film, directed by and starring Laurie Simmons, follows Ellie Shine (Simmons), an artist in her 60s who is going through an existential crisis, one she hopes will be cured by escaping the busy city for a summer retreat in upstate New York. Cemented by a superb cast and a witty, dry humor, My Art is the kind of film that will make you feel like you're escaping, too.
Ellie is a single art teacher living in New York City. Surrounded by successful friends and young ambitious students, she heads to the isolated home of a famous friend to reset her life and her work. Arriving at her "retreat," Ellie finds a dozen bottles of white wine, drugs stuffed in ice cream containers, and the ground's gardeners: two out-of-work actors named Frank (Robert Clohessy) and Tom (Josh Safdie).
The film continually flips between reality and the surreal, as Ellie's artistic eye dreams up sets and scenes, often mimicking the black and white films of Hollywood she attempts to recreate in her DIY art videos.
But "recreate" isn't the right word; Ellie would shake her head. She tells Frank she wants to embrace the "impossibility of us being them," the Jimmy Stewarts, the Marlene Dietrichs, and the Marilyn Monroes. Ellie recruits Frank, Tom, and her failed date John (Rothman) to help her with these improbable recreations. Together they make their own Jules and Jim and A Clockwork Orange.
Simmons shines as Ellie, creating an unassuming character who, though creative and expressive, somewhat struggles socially with her awkwardness and blunt nature. But she's hilarious, and instead of grimacing after she responds to Frank missing his deceased wife with, "You know, Frank, you've mentioned that like 500 times." We laugh because it's "just Ellie," who eats pot cookies for dinner, lights her cigarette with an extra-long lighter, and takes her disabled dog Bing on "walks" by carrying him in her arms up and down the road.
The film's cinematography successfully measures up to its writing. From the early shot of Ellie sitting alone outside the museum with the cityscape lounging behind her, to the brief interlude of a beautiful underwater scene (tip your hat to cinematographer Tom Richmond), the artistry is obvious. But even as we watch the dreamy underwater sequence, Simmons reigns you in with Bing awkwardly, hilariously, and adorably swimming in his safety vest.
Simmons plays Ellie in My Art
Other characters include Tom's wife, Angie (Parker Posey), a sporadic psychotic delight (we're introduced to her as she placates her husband and poorly attempts to climb a tree), and Meryl, played by Simmon's daughter Lena Dunham, who provides the young successful perspective that Ellie needs to jumpstart her personal revolution.
The most refreshing aspect of the film is that Ellie's journey of self-discovery and, eventual, redemption is not dependent on a male love interest. Though she goes on a date and sleeps with a man, Ellie is focused on her work and her love of old Hollywood. Her love affair is with her art (and partly with Bing). There is a purpose to each character and each scene. Moments and scenes that initially seem unnecessary come into play later on in the film, and you feel guilty for temporarily doubting Simmons and her genius.
Though I originally had some reservations about Simmons playing her own lead character (the first act comes off a bit rough), by the end, you realize that she is the only person who could play Ellie.
My Art opens on January 12th in New York City at Quad Cinema, and on January 19th in Los Angeles at Laemmle Ahyra Fine Arts.

Farid Zahran May 1, 2013 1 Comment
It should be clear, as pointed out in several of my previous articles, that Egypt's political circuit consists of three primary forces. The first of these is the country's Islamist movement, made up primarily of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the second is those forces that seek to revive Egypt's "old" hegemonic state, with the army, police, bureaucracy and state security forces at its core. Lastly, the third group consists of the country's democracy movement, that seeks to build a modern, civil state founded upon the principles of the revolution and administered by those political parties that were born from the revolution's womb. These movements are all conscious of the type of country they would like to create, with the first seeking to establish a repressive Islamist state, along the lines of many others already seen throughout the region. The second group seeks to revive Egypt's hegemonic, pre-revolutionary regime, which some have preferred to refer to as the "nationalist" or "patriotic" state. Egyptians are all too familiar with this last form of government, having been exposed to it in the form of the Nasser, Sadat and Mubarak regimes. The third group on the other hand, aspires to construct a democratic state, something which no country in the region, let alone Egypt, has truly enjoyed except briefly and in pseudo form during the period between 1919 and 1952. As most know, however, this era of democracy came equipped with foreign occupation and a series of rigged elections that only allowed the Al-Wafd party to rule the country for 7 intermittent years, despite their popularity among the Egyptian masses. Despite this, we feel that the accomplishments achieved during this era can serve as a model, one that we can build upon to establish a new democratic state inspired by the experiences of this period, with all its successes and failures.
Before I end my discussion regarding the motives of Egypt's three main political forces and their vision for the future of our country, it is necessary to clarify that there is some overlap between these groups as a result of various political factors. For example, supporters of democracy in Egypt also yearn for the establishment of a strong hegemonic state, along with the country's Islamists, who are also willing to allow for a little democracy to be practiced.
The question then becomes, what are the tactics that will be used by each of these forces in order to achieve their goals? In other words, what is each group's strategy for assuming power and implementing their model for statehood? With regards to radical, revolutionary groups, they are most likely to choose confrontational, albeit less than legal, means of pursuing their goals. This is the case for groups in Egypt and all over the world. Reformist movements, on the other hand, most often prefer to adopt moderate methods that seek to work within the system to accomplish their goals.
We cannot deny that the Muslim Brotherhood has successfully obtained power, although this is not to say that they have succeeded in accomplishing all their goals, as many obstacles still exist along the path to creating a religious state. The tactics they have adopted in pursuance of this goal can and have been labeled by some as the "Ikhwanisation" (i.e. Muslim Brotherhoodisation) of the state, accomplished through the systematic removal of as many of Egypt's democracy supporters and elements of the old regime as possible from state bureaucracy and institutions, in addition to passing laws that cause the country to be enveloped in an ever more religious tinge. The Muslim Brotherhood does not seek to embrace Egypt's various political movements, or enter into long term alliances with them, but rather to systematically eliminate them or use them as temporary stepping stones in pursuance of other short term goals. What the Muslim Brotherhood seeks to do in reality is to impose a new, repressive state, where power is concentrated in the hands of a small, select few, who exercise their authority based on religious claims.
Those who would seek to revive Egypt's old, pre-revolutionary regime, either for better or worse, have no new tactics at their disposal to assume power other than those used before the revolution, with some individuals split as to whether to draw inspiration from the Nasser, Sadat, or Mubarak eras. Regardless of the details, we can safely say that this group continues to draw motivation and support from the country's old power structure, chiefly that of the military, who they would hope to see intervene in the country's affairs and once more launch a coup. However, how to get the army to assume the reigns of governance once more? Some seek to use individual agents, while others will attempt to fuel the intensity of Egypt's street protests and clashes as a pretext for military intervention. They view the mobilisation of hundreds of thousands of people throughout the squares of Egypt not as an outburst of revolutionary fervor, but rather as a calculated move that can be successfully orchestrated and pulled off with the right amount of funding and competent administration. That being said, any failure to re-ignite such a "revolution" (or more accurately, counter-revolution), that could possibly serve as a pretext for military intervention, will not be seen by this group as a result of the revolution itself having lost momentum, but rather as a logistical error committed on the part of those responsible for orchestrating such mobilisation. Such a reality will lead this group to seek more money and resources from its network of wealthy donors and supporters, or change the leadership of those responsible for mobilising the masses. For this group, the overthrowing of the Muslim Brotherhood and the revival of the country's old, "hegemonic" state depends entirely on the military, and the power of money to influence politics.
However what about Egypt's democracy movement? What is its strategy to overthrow the Muslim Brotherhood? I personally see the movement as stuck between two specific tactics which do not necessarily contradict each other. First, continue to take to the streets and protest in large numbers, until we succeed in overthrowing the Brotherhood and establishing a new regime. In short, a recreation of January 25th, 2011. The second tactic is to attempt to overthrow the Brotherhood using democratic means, by taking to the ballot box in all of the country's parliamentary, local and union elections. The final blow would be dealt by competing with the Muslim Brotherhood for positions in the country's various bureaucracies and state institutions, all the while peacefully demonstrating against the organization's repressive policies. The first tactic views the outbreak of a revolution as an involuntary reaction to the state of Egypt's government and ongoing political events. Any failure of such a revolution to materialize, therefore, will be blamed on the country's activists and democracy advocates, as opposed to the reluctance of the masses to gather and mobilize. The second tactic, on the other hand, views daily political struggle not as an obstacle to the outbreak of a second revolution, but rather as that which will aid in its launching.

AUC brings 1919 Revolution's art work back to life
May 1, 2013 Breaking News


One thing I absolutely love is watching movies and TV shows. If I'm not reading or doing work then you can usually find me curled up under a blanket with Netflix on. But when you combine books and movies - Oh it's magic. Sometimes.
The movie adaptation for The Hunger Games was not what we expected - let's just say that but the movies have been getting better and better. I think my favourite of them all is still Catching Fire because that one was my favourite book so it has a special place in my heart.
I tried so hard to read Gone Girl and I just couldn't do it so I DNF'd the book and decided to just skip straight onto the movie and I loved it. It's fascinating and, honestly, so insane that you wonder if you're going crazy just watching it.
When Eclipse came out on DVD I watched it probably every night for over a month (ask my friend - she'll tell you) because I loved it so much. I don't know what it is about this movie but it just makes me so incredibly happy. It's not even because it's my favourite book of them all (I'm a New Moon kinda gal).
I haven't read the book but the movie is SO GOOD. I watched it with my mum one night and I was enthralled. These women are absolutely incredible. If you love Emma Stone as much as I do then you also should give this a watch.
I'm a huge fan of Miley Cyrus if you didn't know so as soon as I could watch this film I did and it had be bawling. I don't always love Nicholas Sparks' novels but sometimes he writes some that tear your heart to shreds and the movie does exactly the same.
First of all, this movie just has the perfect casting for a book to movie EVER and I'm still shocked at how on point it all was. I love the book a little bit more than the movie but both are absolutely beautiful and they come as a package deal - sorry I don't make the rules.
The book The Help is so good as well. I absolutely ADORED it but the movie was so fantastic too (although I always got Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard confused). Also yesss Emma Stone = QUEEN.
Catching Fire is my favorite book from the trilogy and I love its movie almost as much as the book itself. I haven't watched Mockingjay: Part I yet but I think it won't live up to Catching Fire, anyway. (Also, I heard that they apparently did something to Katniss's character which no).
I loved Gone Girl when I read it but haven't watched the movie.
I loved reading and watching The Perks of Being a Wallflower. SO GOOD.
I also really like The Notebook movie.
Lately, I've just been slacking on watching movies as I prefer watching all the TV shows instead.
Mockingjay Part 1 was really good! It was a bit slow because obviously the first half of the book nothing really happens it's all just learning about District 13. I didn't notice anything about Katniss' character that felt out of place but I heard a lot of people complain that she was whiny (which I totally get because she's a 16/17 year old who has been in the games twice and has had to kill so many people and now she's going to have to kill so many more. her family is being forced to live in an underground bunker and the only people who remotely know what she's going through have been kidnapped by the person who put them in the Game's in the first place - sorry, I get annoyed when people complain about her portrayal because if that was any of them they'd be acting a lot worse).
The Notebook movie is really good! It's a whole lot of cheesy and heartbreaking so I don't watch it as often as The Last Song but it's definitely one of my faves.
I just finished Daredevil and now I'm onto Eye Candy and halfway through my Friends re-watch so I totally get you. I did, however, watch If I Had Wings with Richard Harmon (Murphy my sweet, sweet child) and it was brilliant! If you ever need a break from TV shows you should watch that. It's on Netflix!
I love Perks! I'm not a huge Logan Lerman fan, but I think he played Charlie really well. Plus, both the book and the movie made me cry, so I can't really compare them.
I wasn't expecting much of Catching Fire because of the let down that was The Hunger Games movie but it didn't disappoint. My favourite scene was included (thank god) also featuring a long string of spit.
It's so good! I cry like an absolute baby every time I watch it and leave a steady stream of tissues around my house but it! is! so! good!
I'm not sure how to respond to this because I don't know how someone cannot be a Logan Lerman fan but...props to you for resisting his charm!

Pros: Hilarious, creative and just outright bonkers.
Cons: Needed a bit more direction in parts.
A superb, laugh-out-loud riot of a show!
When you know you're getting up at 06.00am to go to gym, seeing a show that only starts at 9.15pm the night before is never a good idea. If truth be told, I just wasn't in the right headspace for this show. However as soon I arrived at the incredible Vaults Festival, hidden underneath Waterloo station, my interest was pricked. The staff were super friendly, the art hanging on the walls was sublime, the bars were pumping, the audiences coming out of the various rooms were smiling and the buzz throughout the venue was electric. I can honestly say that this is the most unique and creative space I've ever visited within London.
I'd come to review the one woman show, Lie Collector, and as soon as the fabulous star, Yve 'Rainbowshark' Blake, stepped onto stage dressed in a jacket covered in 80's trolls, I knew I was in for a treat. My bad mood became a distant memory.
Lie Collector is a sublime musical celebration of all the lies we tell each other on a daily basis. I'd be lying if I told you this show wasn't good. See what I did there? The interesting thing behind the lies that Blake reveals, through various guises and hysterical costume changes, is that they are all stories collected from strangers. So far over 1000 people in 154 cities have logged onto Blake's online 'confession booth' (get involved at www.whowerewe.com) and submitted lies. The cabaret star then syphons off said lies and turns them into hilarious songs. It's comedy gold.
From flatmates stealing pizza to a woman faking a UTI, the anecdotes that flow over this show are genuinely "LOL" hilarious. A personal highlight has to be the song around the lies we tell kids and that Sharknado is actually real, so kids best get to bed to ensure they're not eaten! As Blake acted out both the parent and the terrified wide eyed child, I honestly thought I was going to fall off my chair. The sharp lyrics, composed by Blake herself and Scott Quinn, are stellar and beautifully directed by musical composer Alex Groves. Another song that had us in stitches was around all the things we tell our bosses to get out of work. Much like when you're psyching yourself up to tell this lie, you have to have conviction and Blake's performance had this in abundance. This song, combined with some awesome video content from Joel Enfield, was genius.
Blake's vocals are strong throughout, but its all of her hilarious characterisations that really stood out for me.
This only negative for me was some of the basic staging, as its just Blake on stage with her laptop. I found the constant "click the button on the laptop and then run to the mic in the centre of the stage" a bit formulaic at times. In saying that, however, Blake is quite honest about the lack of budget and how she has to do all the changes in full view and cracks jokes throughout, which is hysterical. Although only a one woman show, there is another cast member that helps support Blake during her fun antics – the internet. Much like "NYC is Carrie's best friend", the internet is a great companion for Blake during her show.
One of the final songs, which sees Blake dressed as a rainbow emoticon (oh yes!), is a parody of the biggest lie of all – the ones we tell ourselves and how wonderful our lives are according to social media. Once again the lyrics, the graphics, the bright costumes and sheer boisterousness of Blake's performance are a full blown hysterical feast for the senses.
We all have stories. We all tell lies no matter how little or how white. Go see this show. I'm not lying. No really.

Dining Out: Smyrna Town Centre
Buffet is Smyrna's 'best kept secret'
Dining Out: Smyrna Town Centre Buffet is Smyrna's 'best kept secret' Check out this story on dnj.com: http://on.dnj.com/1EmzxPJ

SMYRNA – Eight months ago, Chef Michael Osborne took over the helm of food service at Smyrna Town Centre. Since then, he's turned ordinary into extraordinary, offering a wider variety of food styles and hospitality-worthy service.
"I've taken my job very seriously and I've received a lot of education," said Osborne, a trained executive chef who is a member of the American Culinary Federation and the American Academy of Chefs. He's also served dignitaries like Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, along with other famous patrons who dined at the officers club he managed at Andrews Air Force Base in Washington, D.C.
Although you'll see the results of his training with upscale dishes like Chicken Marsala, prime rib and Mediterranean-style shrimp scampi, Osborne said he likes to mix in some Southern fare such as barbecue, chicken and dumplings, beans with country ham and cole- slaw. A former resident of Japan, Osborne also brings his expertise in Asian fare, which complements the Nissan presence in Smyrna. But he's also fond of Italian food, which is part of his own heritage.
Steve Poole is one of the regulars at the Smyrna Town Centre's buffet and has been going there for years, long before Osborne came on board. He's noticed quite a change in the past year, too.
"Now it's a better variety. You've got some good, old Southern cooking, some Italian, some Cajun. Every day is a little different. And the quality is fantastic," Poole said. "For the price, you can't beat it."
The Smyrna Town Centre offers a buffet that is open to the public from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. For $12 per person, patrons get two entree meats and at least a half-dozen vegetables, salad bar and dessert buffet that rotates items daily. Gratuity is included in the price.
"The Town Centre is what I call the best kept secret in Smyrna," said Rhonda Stewart, assistant manager of the Town Centre.
Osborne said food quality is important, but service to the community is also paramount in creating a buffet people will want to return to often.
"The customers are the most important thing. I represent the town of Smyrna and I'm working for you. My job is to make sure you're taken care of," Osborne said.
•Buffet offerings are subject to change. But a recent day included herb-crumb baked white fish filets, country-style ribs, Italian meatballs in marinara, noodles, green beans, carrots, red-skinned potatoes with Kosher salt and cracked pepper, broccoli and cauliflower in sauce, yeast rolls and garlic bread.
•Lunch also features a salad bar and dessert buffets with items such as peach cobbler, icebox pie, cake and many more favorites.
•Other meat items you're likely to see on the buffet include chicken and dumplings, pulled pork barbecue, Chicken Marsalis, herb-crusted tilapia, marinated chicken with raspberry sauce, among others.
•Side items may include shrimp and grits, slow-cooked green beans, turnip greens, deep-fried okra, potato souffle, vegetable medley, penne pasta Alfredo with broccoli florets, rice pilaf, buttered corn, coleslaw, among other items.
•Continental breakfast selections include miniature quiche, scones, fruit-filled strudel, fruit and muffins.
For those who host private parties, themed buffets are popular.
•The classic Southern buffet has items such as barbecue, redskin potato salad, coleslaw, peaches and cream corn medley and catfish.
•Texas-style barbecue offers beef brisket, mesquite chicken, baby-back ribs, jalapeno cornbread, Texas kettle beans and ranch-fried potatoes.
•Little Italy is one of the most popular themed buffets. Enjoy Mediterranean-style shrimp scampi with tortellini, pork Parmigana, baked ziti and sweet sausage, risotto Milano, Alfredo pasta and chicken Marsala.
The lunch buffet is $12 per person, or $11 for seniors and military. The price includes gratuity and sales tax.
The lunch buffet includes an all-you-can-eat salad bar, two entrees, multiple side dishes, assorted desserts, tea and coffee.
The Smyrna Town Centre also offers meeting rooms people or businesses can rent for meetings, parties, wedding receptions, reunions or any other gathering. Cost of the room depends on setup and number of guests.
Other buffets that can be booked for private events include a continental breakfast and dinner, along with themed buffets: Little Italy, class Southern, Texas-style barbecue, American class (prime rib) and Deep South/Low Country.
If you have dietary restrictions, Chef Michael Osborne can accommodate.
The Smyrna Town Centre, 100 Sam Ridley Parkway in Smyrna, offers a lunch buffet that is open to the public from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. Call 615-459-9710 for details.

Genocide, mass murder and human rights abuses are arguably the most perplexing and deeply troubling aspects of recent world history. This collection of essays by leading international experts offers an up-to-date, comprehensive history and analyses of multiple cases of genocide and genocidal acts, with a focus on the twentieth century. The book contains studies of the Armenian genocide, the victims of Stalinist terror, the Holocaust, and Imperial Japan. Several authors explore colonialism and address the fate of the indigenous peoples in Africa, North America, and Australia. As well, there is extensive coverage of the post-1945 period, including the atrocities in the former Yugoslavia, Bali, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Rwanda, East Timor, and Guatemala. The book emphasizes the importance of comparative analysis and theoretical discussion, and it raises new questions about the difficult challenges for modernity constituted by genocide and other mass crimes.
Conclusions: 18. The specter of genocide Robert Gellately and Ben Kiernan.


As of February 1, 2019, CMS awarded the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) Medicare and Medicaid Program Contract to Capitol Bridge, LLC.
Unlike Medicare and private and commercial payers, Medicaid is not federally required to cover routine care costs (like physician visits and laboratory studies) for clinical trials, which means that Medicaid enrollees are less likely to participate in clinical trials. Members of Congress recently introduced bipartisan legislation, the CLINICAL TREATMENT Act (H.R. 913), to address this significant barrier to participation in clinical trials. Tell Congress to support the CLINICAL TREATMENT Act to improve the quality of cancer research and reduce disparities in cancer care.


This post was sponsored by the Crock-Pot® brand. Thank you for supporting the brands that support this blog!
Alright, guys, I have something so good for you today! A Thanksgiving side dish that you can make in your Crock-Pot® slow cooker to save yourself some oven math.
You know what oven math is, right?
It's when you have 7 9×13 dishes that need to be baked in a single oven, all baking at varying temperatures and times. That is oven math. I am here to help you out with that equation and bring things down to a reasonable 6 dishes. Let's great creative in the kitchen, save some oven space, and also make a traditional casserole even more delicious by slow cooking it!
So, I am super obsessed with sweet potato casserole. Like, it's my life.
My aunt made a version of Ruth Chris' sweet potato casserole for Thanksgiving years ago and since then I have been hooked. I make it at least a few times a year around the holidays. In fact, I've been known to eat it on my dinner plate, with my turkey, and then turn around and also have a scoop for dessert.
It's versatile, is what I'm saying. And also sweet. But in a good way.
I think you guys are just going to love this recipe!
So, I'm working with the Crock-Pot® brand this year to bring you some slow cooker recipes to add to your arsenal. Did you happen to spot my honey chipotle meatball recipe on their site last month? It's perfect for game day! For that recipe and lots more, click here!
I'm really happy with my Crock-P0t® slow cooker. It's the perfect size, heats evenly, and my food always turns out moist and delicious.
This sweet potato casserole is everything you want for Thanksgiving dinner. It has that earthy flavor from the sweet potatoes, it's a quick option so you're not slaving away on a side dish all day, and it's full of warm fall flavors, like maple syrup, brown sugar, and pecans. I hope you'll give this recipe a try and let me know what you think!
Tell me, what are you planning on making in your Crock-Pot® Slow Cooker this holiday season? Any recipes I need to try from you?
Save the oven space for the turkey! This sweet potato casserole is made in your slow cooker and it's absolute side dish perfection!
Oh wow Karly, that topping…. I'd be eating this for dinner AND dessert. I love that it's prepped ahead and not taking up oven space while I'm making turkey dinner!
Ohhhh I just LOVE sweet potato casserole… preparing it in the Crock Pot makes it even better! This looks amazing!
You had me at maple syrup….this looks amazing! With all the crock pot recipes I want to make this T day I'm going to need to buy like 3 more. haha!
Oh.my.gosh. I really don't have any words for how amazing that looks!
We make our mashed potatoes ahead in the crock pot. They get really creamy. This recipe sounds good, I would probably start with fresh sliced sweet potatoes and increase my cooking time.
I've never tried regular mashed potatoes in the slow cooker! Great idea!
I could eat this at any time of the year as I'm sweet potato obsessed! What a great way to free up oven space for the holiday! Delicious!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE buy fresh sweet potatoes!! I put a large sheet of heavy duty foil over the top oven rack then put as many taters as possible on it. Try to get them all about the same size, rinse them and stab them all over with a fork. Bake at 350* for about an hour~check for doneness by stabbing with a sharp knife, if the knife slips off easily they're done. If not leave them in a bit longer. When done let cool til you can handle them without burning your hands. Slip peels off, put in a large bowl and cut in chunks or mash, then go on with your recipe. By baking an oven full you can bag the extras for later without any hassle. Mixing yams~ the lighter ones~ sweet potatoes~darker ones and WHITE sweet potatoes~ yep, white sweet potatoes, gives a great taste that isn't overly sweet. ALSO, when bagging sweet potatoes for the freezer smash the bags flat, it saves space in the freezer.
I'm going to try your way of baking them too! I wonder how many you would need to make this casserole?
I love sweet potatoes and always have them around. Since I cook for only myself, I cook my sweet potatoes in the microwave just like I would a regular potato. Last Thanksgiving, I made sweet potato casserole for a family gathering; I cooked 4 pounds at one time in my microwave, let cool until I could handle them, them proceeded as you say. It worked perfectly, even for that quantity. For my usual eating, I just cut them open and add butter, sometimes also adding a sprinkle of brown sugar and cinnamon.
I will be trying this!!!! I am always using oven math on Thanksgiving morning.
This looks heavenly. I love this type of casserole, saving it for Thanksgiving.
I love holiday side dishes that look like desserts! Boy does this sweet potato casserole look heavenly. I love your idea of having one serving with my dinner and another scoop next to my slice of pie! And so easy made in the crock pot.
Wow does this look good, and I love the idea of using a crock pot to save on oven space on Thanksgiving!
We love sweet potato casserole too! love that this is done in the slow cooker! I never have enough space in my oven!
Oooo I LOVE my Crockpot! Holiday side dishes from the Crockpot are absolutely a necessity — that turkey takes out way too much space!
I was always good at math in school, but oven math stumps me every time 😉 Love that this sweet potato casserole can go right in my slow cooker and take the stress away. And it looks so delicious!!
This is very similar to my recipe. The only thing is I make double this. this is about the only thing I cook so it is always my go to dish for the holidays.
This looks and sounds awesome! I love that you made it in your slow cooker, thus saving on oven space. And that topping, mmm!
ways loved sweet potatoes but never found a good recipe for a good casserole dish. Now I think I have one. Thank you!
Hope this is the one for you!
Ohmigosh. This looks so crazy tasty1 I know what you mean about "oven math" – it can make things so complicated 😀 This is a great way to save on that precious oven space for sure! I can't wait to try it!
I made this last Saturday, I wanted to practice before Thanksgiving. It was yummy!
I want to try this but for 20 people (work function and no oven their) so doubling a similar recipe. What would you recommend for cook time with the doubled recipe?
Hi Karly! I was wondering..can you also cook this in the oven?
I don't have canned sweet potatoes. Should I cook the fresh sweet potatoes first or will it work useing fresh from the beginning?
You'll want to cook the potatoes first. You could cook them until soft in the slow cooker and then mash and add the other ingredients if you like.
I want to make this for a potluck, can I double the recipe and will it cook in the three hours, or do I need longer. Also will doubling fit in a 5 quart crockpot or better off with just doing 1.5 of a recipe for this size crockpot?
Hi Allison! I haven't tried doubling this recipe, so I'm unsure if it will fit in your crockpot or not. I don't think the cook time will change regardless, though.

Ancient Pharaoh Died on the Battlefield, Study Finds
February 16, 2021 JASON SANDEFUR
New evidence suggests a pivotal pharaoh led his army in battle against foreign invaders which led to an uprising that forever changed Egypt.

(CN) — Thousands of years ago in Egypt, a warrior king led his army in battle against foreign invaders who had ruled his people for a hundred years. While his reign was brief and ended in his execution, his death provoked an uprising that eventually led to the reunification of Egypt in the 16th century B.C., enabling the kingdom to become an empire that dominated the ancient world.
Now modern technology is revealing new details about the fate of this ancient pharaoh, including who killed him — and how.
Pharaoh Seqenenre-Taa-II ruled over southern Egypt during the occupation of the Hyksos, a foreign dynasty of Semitic and Asian descent that ruled much of Egypt from its seat of power in the Nile Delta.
Attempting to oust the Hyskos, Seqenenre-Taa-II suffered a violent death that has puzzled scholars since 1881 when his mummy was first discovered.
Now researchers at Cairo University say they have solved the mystery of his death, revealing his killers and the brutal methods they used to end his reign.
Using computed tomography (CT) scans of the mummified remains of Seqenenre, researchers catalogued new details about his head injuries, including previously undetected lesions that embalmers had skillfully concealed, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Frontiers in Medicine.
An X-ray study in the 1960s showed the pharaoh suffered several severe head injuries. Based on this evidence, scientists concluded that the king was either executed after being captured in battle or murdered in his sleep by a palace conspiracy.
Other details, such as the poor condition of his mummy, suggested the embalming had been done hastily, away from the royal mummification workshop.
But a new theory has emerged: Seqenenre was captured on the battlefield, but his hands had been tied behind his back, preventing him from defending against the attack.
"This suggests that Seqenenre was really on the front line with his soldiers risking his life to liberate Egypt," said lead author Sahar Saleem, a professor of radiology at Cairo University who specializes in paleoradiology.
The CT scans and other evidence indicates the execution was carried out by multiple attackers, which the scientists confirmed by studying five different Hyksos weapons that matched the pharaoh's wounds to his forehead, cheek and skull base. The lethal attack was aimed at the King's face, likely to disgrace him.
"In a normal execution on a bound prisoner, it could be assumed that only one assailant strikes, possibly from different angles but not with different weapons," Saleem explained. "Seqenenre's death was rather a ceremonial execution."
CT results also determined that Seqenenre was about 40 when he died, based on the detailed morphology revealed in the images.
Saleem and co-author Zahi Hawass, an archaeologist and former Egyptian minister of antiquities, have studied pharaohs from Hatshepsut, Tutankhamun and Ramesses III to Thutmose III and Rameses II. Yet Seqenenre appears to be the only pharaoh to have died on the battlefield.
The CT study revealed important details about the mummification of Seqenenre's body, including the fact that embalmers used a sophisticated method to hide the king's head wounds under a layer of embalming material that functioned similarly to the fillers used in modern plastic surgery. Such a technique implies that mummification took place in a royal mummification laboratory rather than in a poorly equipped place.
Mummification was limited to evisceration without brain removal, revealing the desiccated brain had shifted to the left side of the skull. This may indicate that the pharaoh's corpse stayed on its left side long enough for decomposition to start before the mummification began.
Saleem said her study provides important details about a pivotal point in Egypt's long history.
"Seqenenre's death motivated his successors to continue the fight to unify Egypt and start the New Kingdom," she said.
