Golden Text: Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the
which he will show you today.---Exodus 14:13
Scripture: Exodus 13:17-22; 14:21-22, 26-31
Lesson Subject: Crossing the Red Sea
Exo 13:17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people
go, that God led
them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that
was near; for
God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and
they return
to Egypt:
Exo 13:18 But God led the people about, through the way of the
wilderness of the
Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land
of Egypt.
Exo 13:19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he
had straitly sworn
the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall
carry up my
bones away hence with you.
Exo 13:20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped
in Etham, in
the edge of the wilderness.
Exo 13:21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of
a cloud, to lead
them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light;
to go by day and
Exo 13:22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor
the pillar of fire by
night, from before the people.
Exo 14:21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and
the LORD caused
the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the
sea dry land,
and the waters were divided.
Exo 14:22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the
sea upon the dry
ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and
on their left.
Exo 14:26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand
over the sea,
that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots,
and upon
their horsemen.
Exo 14:27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and
the sea returned to
his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against
it; and the
LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
Exo 14:28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots,
and the horsemen,
and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there
remained not so
much as one of them.
Exo 14:29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in
the midst of the sea;
and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their
Exo 14:30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand
of the Egyptians;
and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
Exo 14:31 And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon
Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and
servant Moses.
After God called to Moses out of the burning bush, the Lord told him
that he had
seen and heard the cry of Israel in their affliction. The Lord
said I am come down
to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and will take them
to a good land
flowing with milk and honey. God also told Moses that He would
send him unto
Pharaoh to bring the children of Israel out of Egypt. Moses went
back to Egypt to
call his people out and unto Pharaoh to free them from their bondage.
resisted the command of God to release Israel. Therefore, the
Lord said that he
would harden the heart of Pharaoh and multiply his signs and wonders
in the land
of Egypt. Exodus chapters 7-13 tell of all the signs and wonders
God performed to
harden Pharaohs heart and to increase the faith of Israel in Gods
promise to
deliver them.
The final sign or wonder that God performed that convinced Pharaoh to
let Gods
people go was to pass through the land and smite all of the first born
of Egypt. To
protect themselves Israel was commanded by the Lord to strike blood
on the two
side posts and upper door post of their houses. And when death
comes by, the Lord
said when I see the blood I will pass over you and this is to be an
memorial unto you.
And this brings us into our lesson for today as Israel prepares to
cross the Red Sea.
Israel Prepares to Cross the Red Sea. (Exodus 13:17-21)
When Pharaoh had let the people go(vs.17)---But God had led the people
(vs. 18). The shortest way to the Promise land was through the
land of the
Philistines but the Lord wanted to avoid bringing his people into war.
Knowing the
weakness of Israels faith, God led the people another way because
He didnt want
them fleeing back to Egypt when they saw their enemy coming.
God is always
protective of his people and will provide a way to escape for them
because, The
LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of
trouble. And they
that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast
not forsaken
them that seek thee(Psa 9:9-10). Therefore, He took them by
way of the Red Sea
or the Sea of Reeds, which comes from the Hebrew word yam suph
meaning sea
of reeds. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is
common to man: but
God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye
are able; but will
with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able
to bear it(1 Cor
10:13). The people went up harnessed, meaning they were in orderly
columns in
obedience to their leaders. We serve a God of order and Israel
didnt leave Egypt
as a wild motley crowd as modern movies have portrayed them.
And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him(vs. 19). Joseph
whom God sent to
Egypt by way of misfortune became the preserver of Israel in Egypt.
Before his
death he made a request that his bones be taken with Israel when God
delivers them
from Egypt. And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God
will surely visit
you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to
Abraham, to
Isaac, and to Jacob. And Joseph took an oath of the children
of Israel, saying, God
will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence(Gen
Not only were Josephs bones taken with them but the bones of Jacob
and each
tribes patriarch were taken. So Jacob went down into Egypt,
and died, he, and
our fathers, And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre
Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father Sychem(Acts
And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud---and
by night in a
pillar of fire(vs. 21)---And he took not away the pillar of cloud
nor the pillar of
fire(vs. 22). It was the Lord Jesus that went before them as
a pillar of cloud or fire.
The Apostle Paul states, Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them
also tempted,
and were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of
them also
murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer(1 Cor 10:9-10).
It was Jesus
whose Spirit they tempted in the wilderness and it was he who led them
to the
Promise land. The pillar of cloud and fire was the symbol of
Divine presence, Israel
needed to see and experience the continual presence of God. Moses
didnt know the
way, therefore all of Israel, no matter how far back in the column
could see the ever
presence of God and not lose faith.
Crossing the Red Sea. (Exodus 14:21-22)
And the Lord caused the sea to go back(vs.21)---And the children
of Israel went
into the midst of the sea upon dry ground(vs. 22). The Lord had hardened
Pharaohs heart more, so he and his army chased after Israel.
Israel saw Pharaohs
army coming and they feared. Moses gave them words of confidence,
And said
unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of
the LORD, which
he will show to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to
day, ye shall see
them again no more for ever. The LORD shall fight for you, and
ye shall hold your
peace(Exo 14:13-14). The Lord now makes a way of escape when
he tells Moses,
But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea,
and divide it: and
the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of
the sea(Exo
The waters of the sea walled up and a strong east wind blew and the
people went
through on dry ground. The place where they went through is about
ninety feet
deep and twelve miles long, only the power of God can move this volume
of water,
hold it back and dry up the ground. And Israel went through the
sea on dry
ground. Paul says of this incident that, Moreover, brethren,
I would not that ye
should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud,
and all passed
through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and
in the sea; And
did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual
drink: for
they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock
was Christ(1
Cor 10:1-4). Pharaohs army followed and the walls of water closed
up and they were all
drowned in the sea and never seen again. Our Golden Text (Exo
14:13) reminds us
to not live in fear but to confidently wait in faith on God and we
will see the
salvation of the Lord Here we have the baptism of Moses, in the
gospels we have the
baptism of John and in the church age we have the baptism of Jesus
in Acts 2:38.
Pharaohs Army Destroyed and Israel is Saved. (Exodus 14:26-31)
Verses 26-28 describe the destruction of Pharaoh and his army in the
sea. As the
Egyptians chased after the children of Israel into the sea they didnt
retain in their
mind the power of Mosess God and what the Lord done to them back in
The writer of Romans said, And even as they did not like to retain
God in their
knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things
which are
not convenient(Rom 1:28). The heathen or the unbeliever has
no fear of God and
will many times lash out in anger to their own hurt. Moses at
Gods command
stretched out his rod over the sea and it returned. The following morning
Israel saw
the remains of Pharaohs army dead in the sea. The Psalm writer
said, But the
wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat
of lambs: they
shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away(Psa 37:20).
The children of
the Lord should not fear their adversaries, no matter how strong they
because God will fight your battles and bring your enemies to nought.
Verses 29-31 describe Gods deliverance of Israel as they walked on
dry ground in
the midst of high walls of water on both sides of them held back by
God. And they
were saved from the Egyptians physically and spiritually. Being
separated from the
many gods of the Egyptians, they could now be instructed how to worship
the one
and only true and living God. One cannot worship God and Baal
and that is why
we must separate ourselves from the rudiments of the world and become
a living
sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto the Lord. Because we are
in the world but not of
the world. As the Lord presented himself strong before Israel,
he has now presented
himself strong to the church by the power of the Holy Ghost.
We will all have our
Red Sea experience when the enemy will appear to have us trapped between
mountains and the sea. God will open up unto us a way of escape
and all we have to
do is stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.
The scriptures tell us that God desires no man to perish but that all
men come unto
repentance. Our lesson doesnt specifically mention repentance
but to influence a
people who had been living in bondage for more than 400 years, a change
of mind
was needed for them to leave Egypt. Because in Leviticus where
they rebelled
against God and Moses and grew tired of the manna God was providing
they said,
We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers,
and the
melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic: But now our
soul is dried
away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes(Lev
11:5-6). Man
must have a repenting spirit in order to obey and follow God.
This verse shows that
Israel had a desire to stay in Egypt (symbolic of sin) because they
enjoyed it even in
their afflictions. But God showed himself strong and merciful
and they chose to
follow God. We also chose to follow Jesus rather than to remain
in a life of sin. As
the Lord delivered Israel he is delivering us.

More Fallout 4 teases, now we hear 'nuclear winter is coming' soon
It looks like we really could expect Bethesda to unveil Fallout 4 very soon, right on the Thanksgiving holidays and Black Friday sales - perfect for consumers to get all excited for a new Fallout title.
A teaser site has popped up, dubbed "Survivor 2299" and it teases the game big time. There's a countdown timer included, stating that nuclear winter is coming in 5 days and counting. Are you excited about Fallout 4? I'd love to see a next-gen Fallout game released, I'd better start putting time aside to it now, I guess.
Star Citizen breaks through $30 million of funding, will it stop? No
Star Citizen is simply unstoppable right now - with its original $500,000 goal on Kickstarter now ballooning out to an amazing $30 million+. At the time of writing, it had received $30,374,530 of funding from 311,504 Star Citizens.
The next stretch goal is $31 million, and at this rate, it should hit that goal within the next day or two. People are excited about this game, as the premise does sound truly amazing, but when will this funding explosion stop? At the rate it's going, it will hit $40 million by the end of year. I've backed it, and I'm enjoying my hangar right now, and boy does it look glorious at 7860x1440.
I'm going to be the first to say it: but if things don't stop with this funding, it will be the first non-AAA (as in, developed/funded by a huge company like EA, Activision, Microsoft or Sony) to reach $100 million - you heard it here at TweakTown first, folks!
Bugbear cancels its Next Car Game Kickstarter, unleashes demo instead
The developers of FlatOut did have a Kickstarter set up for their upcoming game, Next Car Game, but it looks like it has met a metal-crushing death. Not many gamers coughed up the funds to back the project, so Bugbear pulled the Kickstarter.
Bugbear will still continue Next Car Game through its Early Access program, going as far as offering a demo for early backers. Bugbear explained why it pulled the game from Kickstarter:
Although our Kickstarter campaign has attracted tremendous enthusiasm, during the last couple of weeks it's become obvious that we are not going to meet our goal. Because of this we have decided concentrate on our efforts on the pre-order campaign. As a thank-you to our faithful fans, we have decided to release a PLAYABLE technology sneak peek, and it's available RIGHT NOW to all our pre-order supporters. The sneak peek features a playground that we use internally to test various features various like car damage and environment destruction. The best thing about it is that you will get a chance to have fun and wreak havoc with an amazing 24 cars!

Double XP is on offer for Battlefield 4 for one week
EA and DICE are offering up some double XP for Battlefield 4, which begins on November 28 and goes for seven days through to December 5. If you're like me, you haven't clocked up that much time on the game yet, and this is the perfect opportunity to clock those experience points up.
DICE has explained: "To show our appreciation for your patience as we work through these issues, we are announcing that from November 28 through December 5, we will reward all players with Double XP for every multiplayer match they complete. We understand that the launch issues may have impacted your progression, and we want to do everything we can to help you get back the XP that you may have lost."
It looks like DICE is apologizing to BF4 players through this double XP period, even offering the M1911 pistol scope on the 5th of December, which was previously something you could only own as a DICE developer. DICE added: "You are the heart and soul of Battlefield. We thank you for your support in these early days of the launch, and will continue to show our appreciation as time goes on."
Ubisoft reiterates its commitment to PC
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, is one of the best-looking PC games on the market right now, with the developer coming out and saying that it is pledging its commitment to optimizing its games for PC.
We've just lived through the launches of both next-gen consoles, and now Sylvain Trottier, Associate Producer of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag has had some wise words on the Ubisoft Blog. Trottier talked about Ubisoft finishing up the R&D stages of Black Flag, where they began working on optimizing the PC version of the game first.
There are three reasons behind this: the first, is that every team member has a PC at their desk, most engineers are more experienced and familiar with the PC environment in the early stages of next-gen consoles, and finally, the PS4 and Xbox One are pretty much PCs with their x86-based architectures. He said: "It's not 100 percent linear, but at least it gives you an order of magnitude."

Valve's local game streaming feature will soon enter beta testing
According to the official In-Home Streaming group on Steam, a beta test of the feature is "coming soon". Gamers who are interested in testing out this new feature can join the group, which will put them into the pool of users Valve will choose in the near future.
Local game streaming might not sound like much, but it is a key part of SteamOS, as it streams games from your Steam-enabled PC. Valve wants PCs that are powerful enough to host game sessions, which is what this beta testing will most likely involve. There's currently no hardware requirements, but the Half-Life developer has said: "There is a huge variety in home hardware and network configurations, and we would like your help in learning about what works best."
One of the bigger factors of local game streaming, and its beta testing, will be networking performance. Wired Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) will obviously be the best way of doing things, but Wi-Fi networks are getting mighty impressive. You can be sure we'll be doing a bunch of testing on SteamOS over GbE and Wi-Fi when we get our hands on the OS.
We could see Gran Turismo 7 next year, under 'best-case scenario'
Gran Turismo 6 isn't even here yet, but there's already talk of Gran Turismo 7 - you weren't surprised, were you? - with Polyphony Digital teasing, but stating that they won't take forever.
GT creator, Kazunori Yamauchi told Top Gear: "We don't want to take too long on Gran Turismo 7. Best-case scenario? Next year. In GT6 we really had to tune the software 100 per cent to maximise the PS3's architecture, but of course the PS4's hardware is much better, so I think the overall quality of the game across the board will be boosted when you come to play it."
If we do indeed see GT7 released this close to GT6, I think we'll see it as a PS4 exclusive. If there was a game that would sell PS4 consoles, it would definitely be a next-gen Gran Turismo game. Our own Chris Ramseyer will be excited to hear this news, I can almost hear his wallet screaming now.
RumorTT: Telltale Games is working on a Game of Thrones game
Telltale Games' The Walking Dead has been quite popular, but now it is rumored that the developer is working on a game based around Game of Thrones. The news is coming from an IGN report that cites multiple unnamed sources.
We don't know if the rumored game would be based on George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire novels, or the huge hit on HBO. During a recent Reddit Q&A, Telltale Games' co-founder, Dan Connors, said that the developer is "working on a few licenses that definitely fall into our dream IP scenario and we can't wait to announce those."
RumorTT: Tomb Raider will hit next-gen consoles soon
The PS4 is on the market, and the Xbox One drops in barely 24 hours, but where is Crystal Dynamics' reboot of Tomb Raider? Well, Square Enix isn't telling us just yet, but a representative with the company told IGN that we will know more about it next month.
The rep said: "it's so hard to keep a secret these days. We appreciate all of the enthusiasm, however we don't have any details to share just yet. That said, we highly recommend you keep an eye on any major gaming events happening in early December." It will be interesting to see Tomb Raider on the next-gen consoles, since both of them are based on AMD designs, will we see TressFX hair?

High Court: EASTERN CAPE DIVISION
For the Applicant (s): H VAN DER LINDE SC…………
for the Respondent(s): P DAUBERMANN…………………….
Instructing attorneys:
Appellant(s): STATE ATTORNEY
Respondent(s): PETER DAUBERMANN
Nature of proceedings : Civil Matter
Topic: ………………………
Key Words:
Case No: 2353/2006
In the matter between:
THE NATIONAL DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PROSECUTIONS Applicant
SIGNORIA NOSISI MLAHLEKI First Respondent
XOLANI MLAHLEKI Second Respondent
[l] On 13 June 2006 the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP). applied for and obtained a preservation of property order in terms of Section 38 of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act, No 121 of 1998 (POCA). The property which was subject to this order was described therein as follows;
"1. Erf 42007 Ibhayi also known as 24 Yoyo Street, Zwide, Port Elizabeth;
2. Furniture at 24 Yoyo Street, Zwide,
3. Proceeds in First National Bank account number 74056018945;
4. Proceeds in First National Bank account number 62054590437;
5. A black Ford Bantam 1300 Explorer motor vehicle with registration number BHG 416 EC in the Second Respondent's possession;
6. A sum of R 44 689.58 in cash seized at 24 Yoyo Street, Zwide, Port Elizabeth and kept under Mount Road SAP 13/778/2006;
7. A sum of R 5 838.00 in cash seized at 119 Koyana Street, Zwide, Port
Elizabeth and kept under Mount Road SAP 13/1125/2003: and
8. Bail in the amount of R 9 000.00 held by the Clerk of the Court, Port Elizabeth Magistrates' Court under case numbers 27/3294, 3295 & 3296/2006 under receipt numbers D 98229, D982230 and D 982231 ("the property"),"
[2] The NDPP in due course brought an application under Section 48 (1) of POCA that the property referred to in the preservation order be declared forfeit to the State, This application was opposed by first respondent, but only in respect of the immovable property at 24 Yoyo Street, Zwide, Port Elizabeth (for convenience hereinafter referred to as the house); the furniture in the house; and the money in the two First National Bank accounts. The basis of first respondent's opposition was a denial that the property was an instrumentality of an offence and a denial that such property constituted the proceeds of unlawful activities. Eventually, on 17 October 2006, an order was made by agreement that the Ford Bantam motor vehicle; the sum of R 5 838.00 seized at 119 Koyana Street, Zwide. Port Elizabeth; and the bail in the amount of R 9 000-00 be forfeited to the State. The order further contained me usual provisions in orders of this nature, but in respect of the property to which first respondent, laid claim as well as the sum of R 44 682,88 seized at the house, the matter was postponed for the hearing of oral evidence "on the question whether same are liable to forfeiture in terms of Section 50 (1) of the Act".
[3] The matter eventually came before me for the hearing of oral evidence. At such hearing the applicant called a number of witnesses, whereas first respondent was the only witness who testified on her behalf. Apart from Steenkamp, the investigation shift manager at the Boardwalk Casino in Port Elizabeth, who testified in respect of gambling activities conducted on a card belonging to first respondent, the applicant's witnesses were police officials. Two of these witnesses, namely Inspector Qingana and Constable Lawu, testified with regard to a number of controlled sales involving mandrax tablets which took place during the period March 2006 to May 2006, although Qingana also testified with regard to events which occurred before that. The. other police witness was Captain Kapp, who gave evidence in respect of alleged drug dealing which occurred at the house over a number of years,
[4] First respondent purchased the house from the Fort Elizabeth Municipality on,8 May 1989 for a price of R 5 825.10. First respondent resides in the house, as do other members of her family. According to the police evidence a number of drug related offences had been committed at the house over a number of years. Qingana testified with regard to an incident on 8 May 1997. He bad no personal knowledge of this matter, but was able to obtain details thereof from official police records. From the information available to me it appears that on that occassion 70 mandrax tablets were found at the house and subsequently two persons were charged, with and, according, to Qingana, convicted of dealing in mandrax. The next specific incident of which mention was made occurred on 27 October 2003. According to Qingana he received information from a reliable source that there were drugs being stored at the house. He immediately followed up this information and went to the house. There was some delay in gaining access to the house because the security door was not open. After having waited for some time Qingana climbed onto a boundary wall of the property and eventually observed two plastic bags being thrown from the direction of the house. He went to these bags. He opened one and saw money inside. He thought that the second bag contained drugs. He picked up both bags and proceeded to the police vehicle. He opened the boot in order to place the bags therein, but at that stage first respondent called him and told him that he should not take her things, claiming to be the owner thereof, She told Qingana that this money had been obtained in connection with a club to which she belonged. He testified that she told him she got the money from "mafele", which he said was like a stokvel. It transpired that both bags were full of money. A total amount of R 128 020.00 was seized, which apparently included money that first respondent had in her handbag. The notes were sent for forensic investigation and it was determined that there were traces of methaqualone on the money. The house was also searched on this occasion but no drugs were found. Arising out of this incident first respondent was arrested and charged with dealing in drugs. She was acquitted on this charge. After first respondent's acquittal, the money was handed back to her.
[5] The next specific events in respect of which evidence was lead were the controlled sales. This is merely a different terminology for what were previously routinely referred to as police traps. Seven of these controlled sales took place. Apart from the last of them, being the one carried out on 10 May 2006 at a Sasol Garage in Motherwell, Fort Elizabeth and which involved second respondent (who is the son of first respondent), they all occurred at the house. On each of these six occasions mandrax tablets were purchased at the house by two police officials, referred to as "undercover agents", being Constable Lawu and Constable Lupondwana. Video recordings with sound were secretly made of each of these transactions. These video recordings were viewed by me when Lawu testified in relation to the sales. On three of these occasions first respondent was present at the house, At this stage it is unnecessary to refer to the evidence as to whether she participated or was even aware of the fact that such transactions were taking place. Details of the controlled sales appear in the list of admissions furnished by first respondent, which is exhibit "B". On each occasion the same procedure was followed, with Lupondwana making the visual recording and Lawu being involved in the purchasing of the mandrax. On three occasions the mandrax tablets were sold by a person referred to as Sango, whose full name is apparently Sangolomzi Hakosi On two occasions the mandrax tablets were sold by first respondent's daughter, Lungiswa Patricia Mlahleki. On the other occasion the mandrax tablets were sold by first respondent's granddaughter, Asanda Mlahleki. The dates upon which these sales took place were 20 March 2006; 24 March 2006; 30 March 2006: 4 April 2006; 11 April 2006; 19 April 2006.
[6] I consider it unnecessary to refer in detail to what occurred on the occasion of each controlled sale. Suffice it to say. that on every occasion the agents went to the house in order to purchase the mandrax tablets. In some instances their visit to. the house was preceded by a telephonic, arrangement to meet there. What was apparent from the video recording was that on at least two occasions Sango had to leave the mom in which they all were in order to fetch the tablets that were being purchased. It was quite clear that he was away for a relatively lengthy time. There was also an occasion when Lawu wanted to purchase 25 mandrax tablets but was told that there were only 14 and that she would have to wait to get the additional 11 tablets. This was in relation to a sale that was carried out by first respondent's daughter. On that occasion, according to Lawu's evidence, she waited for approximately 10 minutes for these 11 tablets to be brought to the house.
[7] Qingana testified that as a result of these controlled sales he obtained a search warrant and eventually on 5 June 2006 went to the house in order to conduct a search and make arrests. He testified that 2 mandrax tablets were found in the house. Cash was also found in the wardrobe in first respondent's bedroom. It is common cause that the amount thereof was R 44.682.88 (which differs from the amount referred to in the preservation order). This money was seized by the police. It is convenient to mention at this stage that first respondent made no claim to this money in her affidavit apposing the application for an order for forfeiture. In fact, she testified that this money also belonged to a stokvel and that it was in her possession because she was the person who kept the money for the club.
[8] It is common cause that as a consequence of the controlled sales having taken place Sango was charged with and convicted of three counts of dealing in mandrax tablets and sentenced to a fine and a suspended term of imprisonment; whereas the plaintiff's daughter Patricia was charged with and convicted of two counts of dealing in mandrax tablets and also sentenced to a fine and a suspended period of, imprisonment,
[9] It is necessary, at this stage, to deal with the evidence of Kapp. He is a policeman who testified that he has extensive experience in respect of drug related offences. He testified that during the period 1990 to 2002, and as a result of information received, from what he stated were reliable sources, regarding alleged drug dealing at the house, he "visited" the house on approximately four occasions. What these so called visits amounted to were in fact raids of the house. Kapp testified that nothing was found at the house on any of the raids. He then referred to the incident during 1997 which resulted in two persons being arrested. Under cross-examination he stated, however, that the first accused in that matter was a police officer who was not residing at the house and that he could not say whether the other person was convicted. Like Qingana, Kapp did not have personal knowledge of this incident. Despite slating that the house had been known to him as a "drug post" since 1990 and search warrants having being obtained, he was not aware of drugs having being found at the house nor of any other person having being convicted up to 2002, He said that the furniture at the house consisted of a number of luxury items. The furniture can be seen on the photographs forming part of the papers before me. Under cross examination Kapp further confirmed that the house, "is a residential house". He stated that it had not been adapted for the manufacturing or storage of drugs and that he would not say that it had been adapted in any way to facilitate dealing in drugs. Kapp repeated the fact that he had found no drugs at the house during the. period 1990 to 2002, despite having obtained search warrants. Kapp said that thereafter the file was closed as it was impossible to focus on one property only. However, he insisted that the house is a drug outlet. According to Kapp the fact that the controlled sales took place inside the house, together with the history of the matter, indicated that the house was an instrumentality of the offence of drug dealing.
[10] In contending that the house was used as an instrumentality of the offence of drug trafficking, applicant's counsel relied on the fact that the house had been kept under surveillance for many years; that acting on information art arrest occurred at the house during 1.997; that the surveillance was kept up and that further searches were carried out, although they came to nought; that the incident during 2003 indicated an intention to hide the money because it was illegal money; that there were further searches until the controlled sales took place; and that the sales relied upon were all concluded in the house.
[11] In National. Director of Public Prosecutions vs Geyser and another. [2008] ZASCA 15; [2008] 2 All SA 616
(SCA) Howie P said the following at 620 g-[para 17]:
"To be an instrumentality of an offence the property concerned must by definition in POCA, be "concerned in the commission" of that offence. As the cases have interpreted that definition, the property must facilitate commission of the offence and must be directly causally connected with it so that it is integral to commission of the offence"
[12] On the basis of the evidence placed before me there is, in my view, no room for a finding that the house was so directly causally connected with the sale of mandrax tablets that it can be said to be integral to the commission of such offence. In fact, the evidence appears to indicate the contrary. Despite a number of police searches having being carried out, there, was only one occasion when persons were arrested and convicted prior to 2006, and that was in 1997. Despite so-called reliable information, no drugs were found at the house during the raid carried out during 2003. The fact that traces of methaqualone were found on the money seized in the plastic bags at the time cannot assist the applicant for, as Kapp testified, a large amount of money in general circulation is contaminated by drugs. Kapp even went so far as to say that it was quite possible that money in his wallet at the time he testified could be contaminated by drugs. The fact that the controlled sales took place inside the house is a direct result of the manner in which the trap was arranged on each occasion. The two police officials went to the house in order to purchase the mandrax tablets. Had they arranged for each of these sales to take place at the Sasol Garage in Motherwell, as happened on 10 May 2006; it could hardly be. said that such Sasol Garage was an instrumentality of the offence, 1 do not consider that it makes any difference that there had previously, for a considerable length of time, been suspicions that the house was a drug post. Even if there were more than suspicions, there was clearly nothing that happened to establish the correctness of any belief there may have been in this regard. The evidence does not come close to establishing that the house was used to store the drugs that were sold. In fact, when regard is had to how long it took for the drugs to be brought to the police officials on the occasions when mandrax tablets had to be fetched, the contrary appears to be indicated. Finally, a sale of mandrax tablets can take place anywhere. While one would not expect criminals to sell drugs openly (although some are brazen enough to do so), one does not need the confines of a residential property in order to. effect such sales. In all the circumstances I am unable to hold that the property was an instrumentality of the offence of drug trafficking. A forfeiture order cannot be granted.
[13] I have not referred to the money in the two First National Bank accounts. It has been unnecessary to do so for I was informed by counsel at the outset of the hearing that these need not concern me.
[14] The somewhat vexed question remains as to what .should be done with the amount of R 44 682.88. As already stated, first respondent herself lays no claim to this money. However, she testified, and there is nothing to indicate the contrary, that she kept this money on behalf of persons who belonged to a club. No members of this club are before me, nor are the identities of any other members known. In all the circumstances it seems to me that I should order that this money be handed back to the person in whose possession it was found, namely first respondent. She must then deal with it as she would have if the police had not seized it. There is certainly no justification whatsoever to declare this money forfeit to the state.
[15] The order that I make is that the application for forfeiture of the items referred to in paragraph 8 of the order of court dated 17 October 2006 is refused, with costs. Such items must be restored to the possession of first respondent.

CONTACT: The Port Authority of New York and New JerseySteve Sigmund or Ron Marsico, 212 435-7777
Deal Phases in Office Tower Development, Provides Certainty and Shares Financing Risk Among All Stakeholders
The Port Authority Board of Commissioners today authorized a series of agreements (collectively known as the "Development Plan") that will ensure the full restoration of the entire World Trade Center site. The agreement builds on significant momentum at the WTC site, following construction progress site-wide and recent announcements of a transaction with the Durst Organization and a Letter of Intent with Condé Nast.
The Development Plan follows closely the framework outlined on March 25, 2010, announced by the Port Authority, Silverstein Properties, the City of New York, and the States of New York and New Jersey, calling for the immediate restoration of the east side of the site to at least street level, the rational phase in of the site's office towers with financing risk shared among all stakeholders, and the completion of the WTC Transportation Hub without significant additional cost or delay.The Board's action follows months of negotiations between Silverstein Properties, leaseholder of WTC Towers 2, 3 and 4 – and the Port Authority, the site's owner, over how to phase and finance the three planned office towers on the eastern half of the site.
Specifically, the Development Plan provides for:
· Tower 4: The continued construction of the two-million square foot Tower 4, which is scheduled for completion in 2013. The Port Authority is providing credit support for a portion of the of the debt service not covered by the rent payable under the City of New York T4 Space Lease, with 1.2 million square feet of the tower already pre-leased to the Port Authority for its headquarters and the City of New York. The $1.81 billion project will be funded by approximately $1.36 billion of Liberty Bonds and $450 million of insurance proceeds.
· Tower 3: The immediate construction of Tower 3, initially to podium level funded entirely by insurance proceeds and, should SPI meet certain private market triggers, continued tower construction to completion in 2015. The tower's financing will be private-market driven through a 400,000 square foot pre-lease condition, a requirement to raise $300 million of equity and/or unsupported, subordinated mezzanine debt and the need to secure over $1.3 billion of Liberty Bond and taxable debt, with capped public support of $200 million each from the Port Authority, the City of New York and the State of New York.
· Tower 2: The immediate construction of Tower 2 to street level with the flexibility to start construction of the office tower based solely on market demand and no public support.
· All insurance proceeds and Liberty Bonds previously allocated to Towers 2, 3 and 4 would be committed to Towers 3 and 4 to make them more economically viable.
· A "Cash Trap" to ensure that the public stakeholders get paid back before SPI collects profits from the net cash flows of Towers 3 and 4.
· The 9/11 Memorial, One World Trade Center and the public infrastructure continue to progress on their current schedules.
The Development Plan represents a modest improvement to the capital capacity impact on the Port Authority discussed with the Board in March 2010. Moreover, it avoids billions of dollars in potential Port Authority losses due to expensive WTC Hub workarounds and the loss of future ground rent and retail revenue had restoration of the east side of the WTC site ceased. The capital capacity impact is now projected to be $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion through 2016. The higher amount of this range is based on a "worst-case" assumption that the entire $200 million Port Authority T3 backstop would be drawn down should T3 be built above the podium level.
The full impact of the Development Plan already has been accounted for in the agency's capital planning efforts, and will not result in any further deferment of agency projects.
Port Authority Chairman Anthony R. Coscia said, "Today's agreement is a major milestone in the redevelopment of the World Trade Center site. It will allow us to continue the effort we began four years ago to rebuild the World Trade Center, and it protects the public resources this agency needs to build and modernize the transportation facilities critical for the region's growth and prosperity."
Port Authority Executive Director Chris Ward, "This agreement caps a two-year effort to restructure, rationalize and, above all, provide a renewed level of certainty over the development of the World Trade Center site. It will make certain the entire site is rebuilt while sharing the risk among all stakeholders in a way that protects our limited public resources. We very much look forward to working with Silverstein Properties on this new partnership, and wish to thank Governor Paterson, Governor Christie, Mayor Bloomberg and Speaker Silver for their leadership on this issue."
The agreement follows significant progress at the World Trade Center site over the past year:
· Construction of One World Trade Center (1WTC) has reached the 36th floor, and is scheduled to be completed in 2013.
· The Port Authority and the Durst Organization recently announced a joint venture with Durst to become the agency's private sector partner and invest $100 million of equity into 1WTC.
· The Port Authority also recently signed a Letter of Intent with Condé Nast for approximately one million square feet of office space in 1WTC.
· All of the steel to build the 9/11 Memorial has been installed with the two signature reflecting pools fully formed on the Memorial Plaza and lined with granite tiles.
· The Memorial Plaza remains on schedule to open on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
· The WTC Transportation Hub is picking up speed with all of the 54 signature Santiago Calatrava designed arches for the Hub Connector now installed, and with additional Calatrava arches and giant plate girders being installed on the Hub's mezzanine level to support the PATH Hall roof and the Memorial Pavilion above it.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey operates many of the busiest and most important transportation links in the region. They include John F. Kennedy International, Newark Liberty International, LaGuardia, Stewart International and Teterboro airports; AirTrain JFK and AirTrain Newark; the George Washington Bridge and Bus Station; the Lincoln and Holland tunnels; the three bridges between Staten Island and New Jersey; the PATH (Port Authority Trans-Hudson) rapid-transit system; Port Newark; the Elizabeth-Port Authority Marine Terminal; the Howland Hook Marine Terminal on Staten Island; the Port Authority Auto Marine Terminal; the Brooklyn Piers/Red Hook Container Terminal; and the Port Authority Bus Terminal in midtown Manhattan. The agency also owns the 16-acre World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan and is a partner in the Access to the Region's Core tunnel project.

Answered by
Sheikh `Abd al-Wahhâb al-Turayrî, former professor at al-Imâm University in Riyadh
This is a case in which a hearing is needed where both parties must present themselves before the courts. You have to inform the inheritors of the deceased to pursue their claim in the legal court in the place where the killing took place . If their claim is confirmed, the killer should receive the legal punishment. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever has one of his relations murdered has the choice either to receive compensation thereto or have the killer killed." [Sahîh al-Bukhârî (2434) and Sahîh Muslim (1355)] The relatives of the murder victim have the right to appeal to the courts for the murderer to be executed in retribution for the murder. However, if the country in which the murder took place does not apply Islamic Law, then the relatives of the victim should be patient and submit their affair to Allah. They may not kill the murderer on their own. This will cause trial and mischief in the society. It could very well result in greater evil. Whatever happens, take comfort in Allah's words: "If a man kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide therein (for ever): and the wrath and curse of Allah are upon him, and a dreadful chastisement is prepared for him". And Allah knows best.

Enzymes and pH
Name: aissa Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
my question is what is the effect of ph on enymes. according to the ph meter scale:ph10 bleach, ph7 sodium phosphate, ph6 tap water and ph3 lemon juice, which of these have a zero effect on enzymes? I'm doing a lab class that i missed as a result cant answer the question
The question is: Which enzymes? Most human enzymes work at a optimal pH of 7.4, but other enzymes work at many different pH ranges.
Steve Sample
Hi Aissa,
It depends on what the enzyme is. The condition that most closely mirrors the environment that the enzyme was designed for will have "zero effect".
Donald Yee Ph.D.
Instead of answering this question for you, I am going to help you along the way with your though process. I prefer to address this question in this manner because science is full of similar problems. What you need to consider is the natural functional / biological environment of your enzyme. That is, there are two major components to consider in this question, the pH at which enzymes function and the ionic contents of your solution. Any changes to that standard system are going to effect your enzyme's function.
Saundra Sample
Each enyzme has it's own pH optimum. Some can do their work in a broad range of pHs, others are very sensitive and only work at the exactly right pH. Most enzymes work best in or around neutral pH, say between pH 7 and 8. However, some enzymes are needed in conditions of extreme pH, and use that pH as an optimum for activity. For instance, pepsin that is needed in the stomach has an acidic optimum and would work in lemon juice. Other enzymes work best in alkaline conditions. A solution with a buffered pH (like sodium phosphate) will be better for enzymatic activity than a non-buffered solution (tap water) because enzymes are proteins, and these can themselves influence the pH of the solution if this is not buffered. Stangely enough, an enzyme that would turn water acidic may have an optimum at alkaline pH. So, in conclusion, each enzyme has it's own pH optimum.

Two canine scientists, Julie Hecht and Mia Cobb, met briefly at a conference in Barcelona. They share a passion for canine science, good communication, social media and fun. One works in the field of canine cognition and understanding why and how we humanise our canine companions. The other researches welfare and performance science of working dogs. Different perspectives, but both are enthusiastic, entertaining and a little bit deaf. They decided to embark on an adventure as pen pals in the digital era, taking turns to blog on topics related to their own research, the work of their research groups and other random dog science themes. Join them as they consider one of our greatest questions, "Do you believe in dog?"

Hi Julie and Mia, Guess what? We have something in common!

During one of our chats, I showed Carri pictures of dogs I'd worked with in a U........ Read more »

There's also a stamping-and-shushing scene, followed by some shakin' in the stacks. The rapper (someone other than Mr. Sparxxx in that part) takes care to whisper while in the library.

Ten Worst Draft Picks In Miami Dolphins History
In case you haven't noticed what with all the Miami Heat awesomeness lately, the NFL Draft is going down Thursday night.
And, as is pretty much the case every year, your Miami Dolphins have the 19th overall selection because nothing rewards mediocrity more than mediocrity.
The Fins have been going on what seems like 300 years of endless futility. And that is due, in large part, to some pretty abysmal drafts.
But take heart! Miami has a new GM now... His name is.... uh... well... It's not Jeff Ireland, so there's that.
Really though, it's Dennis Hickey. And some fans have taken to calling him The Silver Fox which is both inexplicable and borderline creepy. HE'S NOT GEORGE CLOONEY, YOU NUMBSKULLS.
Anyway, as it were, the Dolphins have had a crapload of horrifying draft picks over their long history, making compiling this list so damn difficult. Who do we leave in? Who do we take out? It's like Sophie's Choice if instead of children, Sophie had to choose between two filled colostomy bags.
So, here we go: The 10 worst draft picks in Miami Dolphins history!
See also: The 17 Worst Things to Happen to the Miami Dolphins
10. Jason Allen (2006, 16th overall)
Super Amazing Football Genius Nick Saban was now in his second year as the man in charge of the Dolphins after Wayne Huizenga convinced Mrs. Saban that Miami wasn't such a scary place and had nice places to shop. In his second (and final) draft with the Dolphins, the man that is lauded as a secondary savant selected Allen who was sort of a hybrid corner/safety/kick-returner with the actual skill-set of none of those things. Super Amazing Football Genius Nick Saban bombed in selecting a player from the one position he knows best about, and then, ran away to Alabama to go yell at college kids because the NFL was too much for him.
9. John Avery (1998, 29th overall)
Apparently Jimmy Johnson left all of his Draft Day super powers on a fishing boat somewhere when he came to the Dolphins from the Cowboys because holy rattledick JOHN AVERY!!! Know who the Dolphins could've had instead? Hines Ward. Or Ahman Green. Instead, Johnson apparently saw the next Emmit Smith in the tiny Avery and ruined everything. Avery went on to rack up a whopping 509 yards and ended his career with the Fins with more fumbles than touchdowns because, Dolphins.
8. John Beck (2007, 40th overall)
When coming out of BYU, Beck was actually compared to Drew Brees and Steve Young by some draft experts, because apparently all you need to be a Hall of Fame Super Bowl-winning quarterback is to be short, white and Mormon. Beck was brought in to a QB-starved team and a QB-starved fan base immediately thought he was the heir apparent to Dan Marino and we just threw up in our pants writing this.......
7. John Bosa (1987, 16th overall)
Alright, let's just put it out there at the risk of supreme blaspheme: One of the main reasons Dan Marino never got to win a Super Bowl was because Don Shula failed him as a drafter. Bosa is Exhibit A in the Crap Your Franchise Record Breaking Hall of Fame Quarterback Directly In The Mouth with bad draft picks. Bosa was a defensive end from Boston College who was supposed to come in and anchor a flailing defense to help Miami's super nova offense. In three seasons with Miami, Bosa finished with seven-total sacks, effectively kicking Marino's chances at a ring in the proverbial sacks.

The Footloose soundtrack is coming and it might just be awesome!
August 08, 2011
Photo via Footloosemovie.com
The Footloose remake starring Julianne Hough is still apparently coming to theaters October 14th. Personally I've been hoping maybe there'd be a sudden decision to shelve the project, but that's probably because I'm pretty sure the remake's gonna suck.
I mean the first one was so campy and goofy and fun, how in the world are they ever going to make it better?
Despite my misgivings about the flick, it seems that it's soundtrack is definitely going to be a must-buy.
Entertainment Weekly just revealed the movie soundtrack details and it's chock full of country stars.
1. Footloose – Blake Shelton
2. Where The River Goes – Zac Brown
3. Little Lovin' – Lissie
4. Holding Out For A Hero – Ella Mae Bowen
5. Let's Hear It For The Boy – Jana Kramer
6. So Sorry Mama – Whitney Duncan
7. Fake I.D. – Big & Rich feat. Gretchen Wilson
8. Almost Paradise – Victoria Justice & Hunter Hayes

Farmers bring back a combined 18 lettermen
By David Jenkins Staff Writer
2010 marked the end of the Farmers' four straight postseason appearances and four consecutive district championships.
They finished 3-7 overall and went 2-3 in District 11-3A, good enough for fourth place.
Farmersville will look to turn things around in 2011, and the return of 18 letterman should help the cause.
"It's nice to have so many kids back. You can't say enough about experience. Experience is a great teacher for a coach and for the players," head coach Ross Dodson said. "We did change our offense and defense (schemes), but it's good to have that many kids back with playing experience. On the offense we did have the one-back set last season. Even though we switched to the 4-3 last year, the kids have previous experience playing the 3-4 already. They understand the back workings of the system. When you go to teach all you have to do is review."

CLARION COUNTY – Your parents may have taught you the value of a dollar, but it's a lesson that apparently never sank in with somebody in Clarion County who had a big pile of cash… and simply threw it away.
It's definitely not the kind of thing you hear about every day… a pile of money… the bills in various states of decay… thrown away in the woods.
Clarion State Troopers say a Leeper man discovered what police describe as "a large amount of decaying money" piled on and around a tree stump in the woods of Highland Drive, in Highland Township, Clarion County.
Police are puzzled as to what this means. Anyone with information is asked to call the Clarion station at 814-226-1710.

BEST JUKEBOX Miami 2002 - Churchill's
Readers' Choice: Mac's Club Deuce
The meager buck you have to kill between bands won't buy a beer. Pinball and Ms. Pac-Man wreak havoc with your sore shoulder. No patience for the pool table; you've already poked one too many a sloshed patron with your cue tonight. What's left? A couple of songs on the jukebox. The Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Al Green, Nirvana, the Who, even Sammy Davis, Jr. and Sinatra are all there. But it's discs by active and retired local musicians -- who graced Churchill's stage many a time -- that offer a much-needed education to those unschooled in the Miami scene of yore. An eponymous pre-major-label album by this city's onetime country girl, Mary Karlzen, waits to be taken for a spin. The now-dissolved Goods' mock-rock opera Five Steps to Being Signed continues to thumb its nose at the music industry. The best sampler of past glory, though, can be heard on the 1993 compilations Music Generated by Geographical Seclusion and Beer and Sun Brewed Action Music. Recorded in this very club, they offer a showcase for old-timers such as Charlie Pickett, Kreamy 'Lectric Santa, I Don't Know, Quit, Holy Terrors, and the Chant. Sure a dollar doesn't go very far anymore, but for a few good songs from the good old days? That's a sound investment.

I was just watching late night tv on NBC. Ozzy was on. Ozzy reminded me of my mom's employee who was sort of my bestfriend. her name was Conny, she and her husband were big Ozzy fans. Before the big fall out she had invited me to go along w/ her family to the Ozfest thing. Personally I'm not a big rock fan but would have gone anyways.
So Conny would work at my mom's store on weekdays and I would be left there in charge as the cashier person. After a while I begun taking confidence in her I begun dropping hints as toward my bi-ness and it became painfully obvious that I liked girls. Since all of this happened around the time I really liked Dre, I would simply talk about Dre a lot. Eventually she asked me whether I liked girls. I sed yeah. She was cool with it.
She really was a lot of help back then. I was confused and knowing I could just talk to her about everything made a huge difference. It was weird, my mom could finally get me to go to work without any hassel.
For about a year everything was great. I had a crush on a girl that worked at the rock/punkish store. We got down as a mission to befriend this mysterious girl. Conny did most of the work. It was fun. We found out the girl's name and stuff but the fun died down when we found out Toni had a husband. I then got over the crush. But still I always looked foward to talking with Conny. She was fun. Although she was in her early 30s, I found her to be a lot more fun than my other friends.
Then my mom ran over a lady that had a store in that same area. It became unsafe for me to roam around. Forever then I was to never be alone. So that passed quickly.
I walked around dressed as a ninja, I called the police on bad costomers who pissed me off, I read the newspaper everyday and got an old lady who just really pissed me off fired. That was fun.
Okay so life went on as it often does. Conny was still my friend until ... i don't know what happened. I really can't remember. I think it was a fallout with work and stuff. I think it might have been that Conny thought my mom though Conny was stealing. And gosh... my mom does accuse people of steaing. she accused me off stealing far too many times. i never did tho, my dad gives me money. So as to that. Conny quit. My mom fired her. I walked out after Conny threatened me with telling my mom that i like girls.
Today my mom is having a hard time running that stupid store. I haven't heard anything about Conny. My aunt may know something of her but I'm too proud to ask about Conny.
All i know is that now i have a hard time trusting people. It's even hard to just acknowledge that Conny excisted.
Hiya. I'm really sorry to hear that you have lost such a great friend over what seems like a huge misunderstanding, for this reason I don't believe that you should give up on Conny just yet. I think you should talk to her - however hard this might seem - and explain that you two shouldn't fall out over something that was totally out of your control, because the fact that it was your mum's decision to sack Conny was nothing to do with you and was entirely up to your mum.
Conny must be really hurt at being fired for something she probably didn't do, so be sure to reassure her that your mum has even accused you of stealing.
I wish you luck in getting Conny back into your life and hope that you will regain the strong friedship you once shared.
i think you need to go on another mission- find conny- who knows maybe you'll get lucky
good luck :)
