Advised by the men I told the truth to my father. I lived the lie before and I knew I could do it again but not this time. I looked upon him and swore to tell him what had really become of the land he had set forth for my brother. I have gifted the land to the Jews I told him. What? he replied looking at me sternly. The land I said I gifted it. How could you he said becoming very angry. Well I said it was to become friends with their people. I don't believe this he replied. I set that land aside with the instructions it go to my son your brother. How could you do this. I'm sorry father I stammered. Well remove them from the land and the people once gone the land will be presented as I have instructed. But father I shrieked the land is their home they have no place to go. I don't care he screamed if their not gone by midday i will have them removed myself! And as for you you have made a strict enemy out of your own brother and also made a mockery of thyself. I will have you confined to your quarters. but... I stammered. No buts. I'm furious with you. Fine I replied and left the presence of my father. I went straight to my room and looked out the window at the home of the Jews. Throw them off the land indeed.. For he has no mercy. So my brother can have another parcel of land to call his own. What a tyrant they could both be. As for me I myself have the concern of the people. I will do what's just and right not what's best for my brother and thyself. My father will behead me for if he knew what I had planned he would certainly order my death. I gathered all I could muster and walked back into his chambers. Father I said I would like to speak to you about the home of the Jews. The land my father replied that belongs to your brother? What now? They can't leave and I will oppose you at every stretch I replied. He look at me bewildered and shrugged. So have it your way. Guards! he screamed. Seize him! I slashed at him with the sword from my side and my blade met flesh. I had slashed his throught deeply and blood sputtered from with in. How could you he said with a look of astonishment. I replied back I have watched this tyranny for to long its about time I took action. I plunged the sword deep into his heart. Enjoy the after life father I said with a feeling of satisfaction. I snatched the crown from his head and placed it firmly onto my own. I am the new king I said to the guards. Now where is my brother?

For the first time, NASA's rover Curiosity used its on-board drill to collect a sample of Martian bedrock that might offer evidence of a long-gone wet environment, the U.S. space agency reported on Saturday. Drilling down 2.5 inches into a patch of sedimentary bedrock, Curiosity collected the rock powder left by the drill and will analyze it using its own laboratory instruments, NASA said in a statement. This is the first time a robot has drilled to collect a Martian sample. Images of the hole, along with a shallower test hole nearby, can be seen at http://www.jpl.nasa. ...

Triumphal arch, that fills the sky When storms prepare to part, I ask not proud Philosophy To teach me what thou art.
Still seem, as to my childhood's sight, A midway station given, For happy spirits to alight, Betwixt the earth and heaven.
