A mortar-less construction system is explored that has several advantages over standard masonry construction in earthquake resistance and total building cost. Unlike standard masonry walls which are solid, the interlocking mortar-less masonry blocks allow slight movement and lock tighter over time, aided by an innovative application of steel reinforcement. This construction technique is also better at dissipating the energy of a seismic wave than traditional masonry. This system can also be used in conjunction with poured concrete for improved performance.

The history of the Lost Tribes of the Weapemeoc Nation offers a unique perspective on the events of colonial history, the history of slavery, and the fight for equality and self governance by native nations. Their history touches on the history of other tribes and sheds light on their struggles as well. But it is more than just the story of a native nation, it is a call to save the earth offering practical advise and also touches on the native prophecies like The Warriors of the Rainbow and their part in native history and saving the earth. It also offers insight into some of the beliefs of the Mound Building cultures, long thought to be lost to time. While much has been lost, our people saved the basic stories and symbolism of the Mound Building cultures

The Gaia is a new international currency that has advantages not offered by other currencies. The Gaia is an asset backed currency, and may be backed by a number of hard assets like gold, silver, diamonds, other gemstones and land itself. The Gaia Currency is not meant to replace any currency, but rather as a secondary currency that has some distinct advantages for established economies, and for emerging economies without a currency of their own. The value of the Gaia Currency will be set at 1 Gaia = 1/10 Troy Ounce of Silver. This will keep coinage values low enough to be used in everyday transactions. In this regard the Gaia is like any other asset based currency, but is is the use of land as an asset that makes the Gaia truly unique and useful.

Scholars have suggested that sailors of the Ottoman Empire visited the Americas before Columbus, and they brought Islam to the native tribes. Other scholars reject this scenario. However the history of one American Indian Tribal Nation, the Weapemeoc, does show that Moors visited them before first contact with the English, and latter founded an Islamic tribe as part of the Weapemeoc Tribal Nation. This shows that Muslims did interact with native tribes of the Americas, and lends support to the idea that they also contacted other tribes.

Lime mortar is making a comeback in recent years due to the green building movement. However traditional quicklime based mortar has not had the benefit of extensive research and testing like concrete has for the decades it has been out of common use. Research done on concrete mix’s can be used improve the traditional lime mortar mix. In the course of this research, two distinct bonding mechanisms are examined, one carbonate based and one based on silica. This allows a concrete or lime paste to be optimized based on the aggregate used. As a result new lime based mortar mixes are possible and traditional quicklime mortars improved. Man made stone identical to natural stone is also discussed. The research also has implications for improving high strength concrete blends. Lastly the possibility of a new type of high strength concrete is explored that exploits the silica bonding mechanism.

An elementary vector examination of pair-production can be useful in studying the symmetry of particles and pair-production. In addition the importance of quantum spin is seen with vectors as well as some of the properties of particles are determined by the vector components of quantum spin.
Such topics as quantum spin and spinors must be represented, by breaking them into their vector components for this examination. The role of the magnetic moment, and how the vacuum and source fields fit into the process of particle creation are also examined. The model used in this paper is as basic as possible and starts with few assumptions.
The representation of the vacuum and source field given by this vector model can be easily understood by students and the "virtual" particles of the vacuum are clearly expressed. The importance of quantum spin vectors in symmetry become clearly evident as does its role in the polarization of the
vacuum. The polarization of the vacuum proposed by Maxwell also plays a role in pair-production.
An added bonus is that a number of electron models can be examined within the scope of the paper if desired. Thus this basic vector method can prove useful in examining specific electron models.
This vector model of particle formation can be a useful teaching tool for undergraduates while providing serious researchers another tool in examining symmetry and particle formation.

There are a number of electron and quark models to choose from. All have their strength and weakness which restrict them. So the search for a better models goes on.This paper presents a "double solution" for 1/2 spin particles resulting from a close examination of standing waves in several dimensions. The result is a model for 1/2 spin particles that more accurately represents the wave/particle duality.

In my book I struggled with a way to explain spin and charge in particles where the average reader could grasp it using a semi-classical model. I came up with a way to do so that I would like to expand on. As the scalar wave of the electron can also be modeled as a string in string theory and it can be used in QED if one wanted, it can be used in more than just a semi-classical manner.

While it can be argued that mathematics is all that is needed for an understanding of physics, that is not the way physics has advanced for most of its history with visual models. An intuitive model is of benefit for students trying to grasp quantum and relativistic physics concepts for the first time. There is still a use for intuitive models in particle physics.
A semi-classical model is developed which bridges the gap between the field of physics allowing a student to intuitively grasp quantum and relativistic effects. The model is coherent and even makes accurate predictions for the mass of the Up and Down quarks in line with observation and other models.
While a semi-classical model can make some predictions, most of the time a semi-classical approach will not give as accurate answers or as detailed of an explanation as other models, but such a model still has value.

Radiation shielding is generally assumed to be a cost prohibitive means of mitigating radiation damage. This is true when considering any one of the main three methods of radiation shielding as a stand-alone system. However a synergistic design that utilizes the strong points of all methods, while reducing their weakness can be a cost-effective means of reducing the radiation threat. Radiation Shielding Overview The three main schools of thought on radiation shielding are Material, Magnetic and Electrostatic Shielding. Material Shielding requires a lot mass to be effective, which is a major drawback for space exploration. Material shielding protects against the greatest range of cosmic radiation. Magnetic Shielding has weak points at the poles, much like the Earth does, allowing radiation in at those spots. Most artificial magnetic field designs require a large power supply as well as complex wiring. Magnetic shielding works best against charged particles. Electrostatic Hull Shielding works by giving the hull a large electrostatic charge, which repels particles with the same charge, but attracts particles of the opposite charge. So electrostatic hull shielding can only protect against particles of a single charge, but is weak against particles of the opposite charge. Electrostatic systems however are low cost, simple designs with relatively small power requirements. Radiation Shielding Improvements for Spacecraft/Space Stations The solution is to combine the strengths of each of these methods, while reducing their drawbacks, in a single design. This can give us a reduction in mass and energy requirements over any stand-alone system. Lets start with electrostatic shielding and how it can be improved. Instead of applying a single charge to the entire ship, use both a positive and negatively charged region at the ends of the ship. The crew area in the middle of the ship should not have a charge. This will attract all charged particles away from the crew area.
