Truth v. Objectivity – The case of The Post
by mazuba mwiinga
Tell the truth, nothing else but the truth, so help me my sources. Brilliant is it? Tell the truth because only the truth shall set you free; another trite banner; trite and dangerous because so often, the truth can incarcerate you.
Truth whether tangible or not, no knows no boundaries. Whether hidden or tattered, it knows no shape because in it lies one core feature; the truth. And this is the base of all journalism. To tell the truth nothing else but the truth at all times and at all cost. At least that's what our journalism textbooks demand of us to do.
But can the truth be told at the expense of objectivity? Can the truth alone vindicate me from the sores of being dishonest? Telling the truth as a journalist is one thing, and writing an objective story is another; and this is the challenge scribes have in this year's general elections in
. Zambia
This country has a smart journalistic history.
Evelyn Hone College used to be a regional journalism trainer catering countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Botswana and . The fruits that came from here were sweeter than the college structures themselves. Malawi
The country is also endowed with such highly skilled and talented scribes, but what pokes my mind today is why these men and women of letters subscribe to principles they never came out with from their training.
I for one, young as I may be, have been around in the circles of pen-pushing. During the advent of a return of Multi-Partism in the 1990s, media pluralism which was a chicken's horn before, was revitalised by the forming of the then Weekly Post newspaper, officially launched in July, 1991.
There was no better thing than having a copy of a newspaper full of sense, hope, humour, hard and fast news stories, under cover well researched investigative pieces, hot columns and objective editorials. The 90s were a time when we felt real journalism at play; to the level of
's Washington Post, New York Times, you name it. The 90s saw the Weekly Post win numerous international awards, not just for its courage and resilience but, also for its objectivity in its reportage. America
Today, I sit back; take a copy of the now The Post, and shudder with wonder. I don't need anyone to tell me that something wrong has evaded the The Post newsroom or editorial policy. I have gone back to its website, but every time I do so, I still find the same editorial principle on which the Weekly Post was founded, is the one still being used even today. Then I ask myself; what is the matter then?
Does The Post publish truthful stories? This I have no doubt, yes it does. But why then should I be so concerned with them? Reason, they have betrayed what they started. They have sidelined the core principle of journalism – objectivity and toll the line of yellow journalism. This is the kind of journalism that presents little or no legitimate well-researched news and instead uses eye-catching headlines to sell more newspapers. Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, or sensationalism; treating news in an unprofessional or unethical fashion.
Check the word objectivity from any aspect of use and you will still find one core stand – being uninfluenced by emotions or personal prejudices with your reporting; In simple lay man's understanding; having a story with two or more views over an issue. If you have an accuser, let the accused have a right to reply in the same story or don't publish it. Subjectivity; the opposite of objectivity, is having a one sided story.
In more detail, objectivity is having a story that is fair, disinterested, factual, and non-partisan. An objective media will not show which political party it stands for; or which politician it prefers. An objective media, brings as much information as it can lay its hands on about all the political players of the nation; analysing them truthfully, factually and objectively for the people to judge for themselves. An objective media does not suggest to the people which political party is better or which politician is good; because an objective media's role in political matters is objectivity which is synonymous with neutrality.
The media sets an agenda for the people and that agenda must be objective; that's to mean it must use a method of acquiring knowledge by reasoning, only based on the facts of reality and in accordance with the laws of logic.
The Post of the 90s is a pure shadow of its current image. The millennium came with a totally 'chameleoned' Post whose duty today is to act as a PR flyer for politicians it once castigated in full-paged objective editorials; today its either George Mpombo or Micheal Sata on its front page banner. There is nothing wrong off course to write about them; but the stories are long pieces of prose without any substance to call news. This is laziness and lack of creativity and resourcefulness on the part of the newsroom staff. The Post today has stood as a catalogue for swangwapo and not as a 90s reliable source of information. What went wrong?
Reporting the truth of what someone said is not journalism at all. Anyone, even a grade 7 pupil can write a composition based on facts. We go for journalism schools to learn the tricks of the trade; how to dig out that which is hidden and report it as it is. That's what happened during the 90s; the time of Jowie Mwiinga, Matsauso Phiri, Joe Chilaizya, Goodson Machona, Birght Mwape, Sheike Chifuwe, Sam Mujuda, Mukalya Nampito, Lucy Sichone, Kunda Mwila, Joe Kaunda, the real Fred Mmembe then and many other behind the scene staff. Today The Post is as good as reading the Zambia Daily Mail, Times of Zambia or watching ZNBC. Where is the paper that digs deeper?
In my training I was taught that you cannot write an editorial based on a story that you haven't published, or on a story that is not headline story. But The Post has ignored the rules of the game. Sata headlines the paper, but an editorial, talks about something else, meaning the issue in the editorial is the one which is important, and hence deserved to be the Paper's top story. Putting a different top story other than the one highlighted in the editorial means, the top story is just an advert to sway popular opinion and that is not acceptable in journalism.
Reporting the truth and yet lacking objectivity is the same as telling a half truth; and telling a half truth we are often told, is actually as good as telling a whole lie.

Attention: Pandemic Influenza Vaccine Prioritization Guidance Comments
To Whom It May Concern:
The American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) is writing to provide comments on the draft Guidance on Allocating and Targeting Pandemic Influenza Vaccine (Guidance).
ACOEM recommends that the term "occupational health providers" be included in the document. Specifically, we recommend that the definition of the target group Outpatient and home health care providers include reference to "occupational health providers." Attached please find a suggested revision to the Guidance.
In the Guidance, target groups for pandemic vaccination are defined in four categories corresponding to major objectives of the pandemic vaccination program. One of the four categories is "Health Care and Community Support Services (HC/CSS)."
Within each category, groups are clustered into priority levels. Within each category, groups in Level A will receive vaccine first. Within the HC/CSS category, "Outpatient and home health care providers" are placed in Level A.
In prior discussions with agency officials, ACOEM has been advised that occupational health providers are included within the category Outpatient and home health care providers. However, the term "occupational health providers" is neither found in the Guidance nor included in the Appendix C, Table 2 where further definition of target groups is provided.
At the time of pandemic influenza, state and local officials should not have to interpret what is intended by the Guidance. To avoid any potential for confusion, we feel that it is very important that the Guidance specifically include, by definition, occupational health providers in Level A.
In a pandemic influenza, occupational health will be frontline health care providers. Worksite medical clinics, staffed by physicians and nurses, will be where workers may first present with symptoms. Vaccination programs in critical infrastructures will be overseen and conducted by occupational health providers. Mass vaccination programs may take place at workplaces, including hospitals and clinics, and be provided by occupational health providers - occupational physicians, occupational nurses and physician assistants. And, at the time of pandemic influenza, occupational health providers will be a critical resource to provide surge capacity to governmental public health.
Thank you for your consideration of these comments. lf you should have any questions or need additional information, please contact Patrick O'Connor, ACOEM's Director of Government Affairs, at 202/223-6222.
Robert K. Mclellan, MD, MPH, FACOEM
On page 23, Table 2. Target groups in Health Care and Community Support Services
A Outpatient and home health care provider
Includes two thirds of personnel identified by their organization at outpatient facilities, including but not limited to physicians' offices, occupational health centers and worksite clinics, dialysis centers, urgent care centers, and blood donation facilities; and skilled home health care personnel.
Maintaining outpatient and home health care is critical to reducing pandemic mortality and morbidity and reducing the burden on inpatient services; outpatient health care burden will be markedly increased during a pandemic; personnel have high risk of exposure, possibly including to infectious aerosols; infected health care personnel may transmit infection to vulnerable persons receiving care for non-influenza illness.
Founded in 1916, ACOEM is the nation's largest medical society dedicated to promoting the health of workers through preventive medicine, clinical care, research, and education. A dynamic group of physicians encompassing specialists in a variety of medical practices is united via the College to develop positions and policies on vital issues relevant to the practice of preventive medicine both within and outside of the workplace.

Decision, Attention, & Memory Lab Decision, Attention, & Memory Lab
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
The DAM Lab was established in 2002, with the purpose of understanding how the basic processes of attention and memory influence the higher-level processes involved in behavioral decision making and human rationality. This initial work helped fuel the emergence of what is now known as cognitive decision theory, which is an offshoot of the traditional field of behavioral decision theory.
Current research in the DAM Lab extends well beyond the original focus on judgment and decision making, and now includes research on cognitive and brain training, basic memory and cognitive ability, and social decision processes. Researchers use a variety of techniques, including computational modeling, eye tracking, and most recently neuroimaging.

Here's a great personal post from Jeff at Under the Grace:
One of the things that greatly bothers me is how tidy the lives of evangelicals can be. There is no dirt under their fingernails. We've got our theology stitched up to the nth-degree, our practice down to perfection (if you can call staring at the back of someone's head on Sunday perfect), and our icky little private habits hidden from sight. It's pretty sick.
I'm a recovering legalist, spiritual snob, Christian-fake… you can probably fill in the blank at this point. One day I woke up and had had enough of trying to keep my pastor, friends, and self happy. I decided (through much time and turmoil) that Jesus was happy enough for me so that was it.
I've discovered, as I've said here before, that Jesus is enough. If his sacrifice doesn't make me acceptable to the Father then I'm as good as smoked. I'm banking that my faith in the finished work of Christ is enough to make me acceptable to God. So most of the pressure is on Jesus for my salvation. It's his gig. He gets the credit and the pressure.
Sure, there's stuff that I need to be doing: resting in the finished work of Christ, communing with the Holy Spirit, and loving my Father in all I do. This not-so-subtle change in thought has done my heart good. It's revolutionized my faith. It makes me feel that, despite my many failings, I'm going to be OK.

On the surface he is hitting .309/.350/.400. Is he for real? At the beginning of the season I pegged him as a .280 hitter based mostly on his minor league numbers. Now we have some major league data to look at.
Looking deep at the data, his high batting average seems to be for real. Looking at his plate discipline data and contact rates, he is extremely good. He swings at just 25% of balls outside the zone, which is above average, and 48.6% of strikes. Overall he is swinging less than average hitters. This is a perfect fit for his skills, as he is a very high contact hitter, and can go deep into counts without likely striking out.
He has made contact on 93% of all pitches he's swung at, so to me, his tiny strikout rate of 9.1% of at bats is for real. He seldom chases pitches, but so often hits the pitches he does hack at, so he doesn't walk too often, 6.6% of plate appearances.
He doesn't have power so I'd like to see him cut back on that 25% rate of chasing balls outside the zone. He's just a rookie though so you can't expect him to be perfect.
Unfortunately all this is only 55 at bats and isn't overly meaningful. We have to wait and watch to see if he maintains these low strikeout rates.
ADD ON: Forgot to mention one thing, Barney has been mostly benched vs lefties, which he would likely do better against. So he might actually be better than his numbers. If the Cubs want to play Barney, Baker should be traded.

The Statutory Open Market: Case Law - Valuation decisions reached in particular cases
Attorney General of Ceylon v Mackie and Another Privy Council [1952] 2 All ER 775, 31 ATC 435, [1952] TR 431, 45 R&IT 793
This case involved a valuation for Ceylon Estate Duty on 7 September 1940 of shares in a company incorporated in Ceylon in 1922. The capital of the company consisted of 19,800 eight per cent cumulative preference shares and five thousand management shares. The deceased died possessed of 9,201 preference shares and all the management shares.
This case is usually taken to be of some note because it was held that the price to be decided was the largest price that could be obtained for the combined holding of management and preference shares. This was on the basis that the subject of valuation was the estate passing on the death. This case does not apply to capital gains tax valuations: see Stephen Marks v HMRC [2011] UKFTT 221 (TC) where the judge said:
"The cases on death duties under which related assets can be grouped together in order to obtain a better price for both (such as the combination of the deceased's management shares and voting preference shares so as to give voting control in Attorney-General of Ceylon v Mackie [1952] 2 All ER 775), which was relied on by Mr Morgan, in our view have no application to capital gains tax. While death duties are computed on the value of the estate as a whole, for which one has to split the assets into saleable parcels, capital gains tax is computed on the disposal of each asset separately".
Recent Litigation
As stated at SVM113030 decisions in particular decided cases cannot be taken as authority that a particular rate of return or discount of some kind should be applied. Each case is decided on its own facts and on the basis of the expert opinion received at the time. The cases do not provide set rules of thumb which can be applied elsewhere without close study of any decided case and research into and serious consideration of the particular circumstances that face you as a valuer. In short, share valuation requires work on each case.
The decisions in each of the cases listed below need to be read carefully before any of the headlines listed below are given wider application:

- Valuation of a 14.2% shareholding, the largest single holding
- Valuation date: 7 September 1987
- Company activity: manufacture of high voltage current breakers
- Estimated company value discounted by 50%
- Based on prospective outlay of £1 million a prudent purchaser would consult advisers who would advise him that information about a possible exit was important; such a purchaser could, therefore, reasonably require information about approaches for sale, about future prospects of sale, and about up-to-date information from the management accounts and budget forecasts.
2. Clark v Green
Yorkshire Switchgear Group Limited
- Valuation of a 3.16% holding
- Valuation date: 28 September 1987
- Company activity: manufacture of high voltage current breakers
- Discount of 70% applied to the comparable quoted PER
- No details of any proposals to sell the company would be available to the purchaser of this smaller holding
- Company profitable and paying well-covered dividends
3. Denekamp v Pearce
- Valuation of a 24% shareholding
- Valuation date: 31 March 1982
- Activity - wholesale cash and carry with subsidiaries in building and catering trades
- 55% discount to the entire company value on the basis that a sale of the company was the most likely outcome
4. Marks v Sherred (Inspector of Taxes) SpC 418, [2004] STC (SCD) 362
- Valuation of a 66% shareholding
- Valuation date: 31 March 1982
- Activity: consumer electronics
- Actual figures for year ended 31 March 1982 were the best available guide to what the hypothetical purchaser, making the proper enquiries, would have been able to discover from the available information.
- Adjustment made for high level of directors' remuneration and other factors
- PE of 10 taken by reference to a most directly quoted comparable company of 11
- No discount for size of holding
5. Executors of MacArthur (deceased) v Revenue and Customs Commissioners
SpC 700; [2008] STC (SCD) 1100
- Valuation of shareholdings in moneybox companies

- Negligible value claim was accepted

History of hardware tessellation
Sep 29th
Posted by Daniel Rákos in Graphics
With the introduction of Shader Model 5.0 hardware and the API support provided by OpenGL 4.0 made GPU based geometry tessellation a first class citizen in the latest graphics applications. While the official support from all the commodity graphics card vendors and the relevant APIs are quite recent news, little to no people know that hardware tessellation has a long history in the world of consumer graphics cards. In this article I would like to present a brief introduction to tessellation and discuss about its evolution that resulted in what we can see in the latest technology demos and game titles.

After the frat party that was the signing of the health care bill, today President Obama will quietly shut his door and sign the executive order used to buy the votes of Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) and other fake pro-life Democrats. The door will be closed, no champagne will be opened, and not a single member of the press will be able to snap a photo of the executive order that will supposedly keep abortion coverage out of the health care bill.
ABC news put it well:
Unlike yesterday's bill-signing celebrations in the East Room and the Department of the Interior, the president will sign this executive action behind closed doors, with nary a camera present. No reporters allowed. No member of the media permitted to attend to record the moment for history.
The executive order is reported to keep tax payer funding of abortion out of America's new government health care plan. Actually, tax payers will still directly fund abortions for women who have been raped, involved in incest, or their life is threatened.
There are a lot of other problems with the executive order as well. It can be rescinded tomorrow, it can be rescinded by the next president, and there is serious question if it is enforceable. Some argue the legislation would trump the executive order in any court case.
Politifact claims that the executive order is pointless. They contest that nothing in the wording changes anything the bill would or wouldn't have done any way. If that is the case, then why did Stupak and his group think this the executive order mattered? It is obvious that they plan to use it as cover fire with their pro-life constituents in the November elections. Thankfully true pro-lifers know the hypocrisy of these Democrats on this issue.
Also, for months the Democrats have asserted the bill would not cover abortion. If it doesn't cover abortion why did Obama need to sign the executive order? Isn't that an admission that the new health care plan possibly would have covered abortion? And why is it that all the people who continue to deny the new health care plan will cover abortion also admit that one day they hope all abortion will be covered by tax payers for lower income women? President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton, and others in the Obama administration are all fans of and supported by NARAL (National Abortion Rights Action League). Their views match NARAL which said:
"It is deeply disappointing that Bart Stupak and other anti-choice politicians would demand the restatement of the Hyde amendment, a discriminatory law that blocks low-income women from receiving full reproductive-health care." -Nancy Keenan, NARAL
In other words, the Democrats who passed health care reform hope and plan that one day the Hyde amendment (which is supposed to outlaw government funding of abortion) and any other blockage to full tax-payer funding of abortion will some day be removed.
And so Obama signs a bill he is not proud of nor likes for what? To buy a handful of 'yes' votes for a small group of Democrats in the House who needed help not losing in November. No wonder he is signing the bill with no media coverage. The President and those who voted for this new health care legislation know that abortions will still often be covered in secret, and they hope and aim that one day all abortions will be paid for by the American tax payer.

If my Auntie Ruby says these are the best croissants outside Paris, it must be true. I finally got over to Boulange de Polk (Polk @ Green) to check it out. The almond croissant is indeed as good as claimed, maybe better. Many layered and flaky crisp, sticky almond paste and topped with lots of crunchy sliced almonds. Not one of those big puff ball pretenders.
Can't wait to try more of the pastries here. Closed on Monday and Tuesday.

Arthur and Maddy's unusual friendship is the heart of The Story of Arthur Truluv, and it's something that readers have been particularly drawn to. What is it that brings these quite dissimilar people together? Have you ever had a friendship with someone very different from you that greatly affected your life?
Both Maddy and Arthur are, however unconsciously, looking for a kind of love as a replacement for what they have lostor, in Maddy's case, never had. They accept each other as they are, a necessary component in any good friendship. I've always appreciated and enjoyed older people. As a nine-year-old, I once made a dear friend in a woman who was probably Arthur's age, and she spoke only German. She used to sit out on the back stoop and I would come over and visit with her and try to teach her English by showing her animals in my favorite book. Not much English got learned, and not much German, either, but we very much enjoyed each other. There was a great warmth that came from her to me, and vice versa.
Lucille finds love and happiness again when she reconnects with Frank. Do you think we ever get over our first loves? Is it ever too late in life to start over again...

This is currently the most realistic MotoGP videogame experience to date:
2014 Ultimate Physics + *Advanced A.I* Mod v1.5 Final
This is an updated version of rkh's and Giovaneveterano's 2014 Ultimate Physics + A.I Mod v1.4 for MotoGP 14, to further improve upon the A.I. and physics to produce more realistic qualifying and race lap times at the "Realistic" difficulty setting. A.I at "Realistic" setting is slower, and more reasonable than default "Realistic", but still much faster than "hard".
Included are three Data.MIX files. Each changes the speeds and personalities of A.I. at "Realistic" difficulty: Moderate, Recommended, and Very Difficult. "Very Difficult" will require the most concentration and the most consistent pace from you at every track in order to win, and "Moderate" will require that you don't mess up and maintain a fast pace in order to challenge fastest riders for victory. "Recommended" is similar to "Moderate", but with further improved bike weight, suspension dynamics, braking power, and slightly faster A.I.
- GIF image: http://gph.is/1nMtxNs
It's highly recommended that you use the "Recommended" Data.MIX, as it's A.I is somewhat challenging for beginners. "Very Difficult" is just that: Difficult.
Note: A.I. is no longer unrealistically fast, but you must be able to post realistic "real-world equivalent" lap times at quite a few circuits in order to compete with the fastest riders for victory at "Realistic" difficulty.
- GIF image: http://gph.is/1PZDyUr
- GIF image: http://gph.is/1PAAtoD
The Following Settings/Procedures Must Be Used/followed In Order For Mod to Work Properly:
- Physics must be "Pro"
- Bike damage must be "Heavy"
- Technical difficulties must be "None"
- Do not race a bike after you've crashed it. Return to garage to fix it, or restart the race. Finishing a race on a bike you've crashed, might result in handling bugs. Any already-damaged bikes in "2013 Real Events" or "Challenge the Champions" are fine. But don't crash them a second time.
- In the event of any handling bugs (unlikely to occur), go to the main menu and select "2013 Real Events". Choose Cal Crutchlow's Catalunya challenge, and ride his bike for a few seconds. This will correct any systematic data errors which Milestone's inconsistent code may have generated.
The mod works in all weather conditions, and for all classes, including 2013 riders and race legends.
For installation instructions, refer to the documentation included with the mod.
*********Adittional info: This particular version of the mod comes preloaded with Giovaneveterano's "Real Menu Photos - motogp 14 - MOD 1.5.3
also: if you already have v1.4 of the mod, just copy the new Data.MIX file into the game folder "**********************
Mixfile Remixer can be downloaded here: http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/mixfile-remixer.485/
If you cannot find the DLC folder in your version of the game, just copy the Data.MIX file. It won't be an issue.
Changelog (Improvements Over Previous Version)
- A.I Qualifying times are more realistic
- A.I. is not as aggressive
- A.I race lap times are more realistic
- A.I personalities are more apparent
- A.I adapts pace and style in accordance with pressure you put on them and distance you pull on them
- Varied bike chassis stiffness for certain tracks
- Improved front and rear rebound and compression
- Improved bike weight distribution
- Consistent motorcycle handling characteristics for each track
- Slightly improved bike turning radius
- Slightly improved front wheel locking effect during corners and bike being set diagonally from wheelies
2014 Ultimate Physics + *Advanced A.I* Mod v1.5 Final
Vastly improved A.I and physics

Original lesson: Funky Blues Rhythm by Stephane Lucarelli
Been a while since I posted one of these, but I said I'd make one with my new guitar so here it is.
2 Jan 2015
Hey guys. I've decided to treat myself to a late christmas present and am going to get myself a stratocaster. Been listening to a to a lot of blues lately and want a singlecoil guitar. All my guitars at the moment are humbucker with rosewood or ebony board.
I've tried both necks in store and have got to say I liked the feel and look of the maple neck but would like to know how they are playing live.
It felt slicker than rosewood so was wondering if maybe playing live with sweaty hands are they harder to handle.
What do you use and what are your thoughts on one or the other?
29 Sep 2013
Hey guys, can anyone recommend a decent video editing programme for mac, like the movie maker on windows. I wanna get some rec takes done so want one where I can synch audio to it.
25 Jan 2013
I've just set up my new presonus audio box with a pair of tannoy active monitors, the sound is great but when there's no sound they do a low clicking noise so do the headphones. Is this normal? Or have I done something wrong. I've basically set up like this.
Audiobox (usb into mac) monitors hooked up from audiobox with jack to xlr cables. While the clicking ain't loud it's annoying to hear constantly when it should be silent.
3 Oct 2012
So for a few months I've been saving for a new guitar, was talking with a guy about a Schecter PT custom shop when this happened. My dog was playing next door with my parents pooch when my father heard a yelp went outside to see Seth limping. Took him to the vet and what do ya know, he's only broken his leg. Cost me 250 plus the return bills. Have to get insurance now Have to wait a while for the new axe now.

text: I just bought an Airport Extreme a couple of days ago. I installed the software and ran the setup utility. My Apple TV, iBook, PC (gaming only rig) and Xbox 360 all found the wireless network I created and they are all working great. The thing that is driving me crazy is the amber light is flashing on the front of the Airport Extreme. I know I *shouldn't* let it bother me because everything is working but in the manual it states that it *should* be a solid green. When the light flashes amber it indicates that "AirPort cannot establish a connection to the network or Al Gore's intraweb". What gives?

The Queer God
Routledge, 01/06/2004 - 192 páginas
There are those who go to gay bars and salsa clubs with rosaries in their pockets, and who make camp chapels of their living rooms. Others enter churches with love letters hidden in their bags, because their need for God and their need for love refuse to fit into different compartments. But what goodness and righteousness can prevail if you are in love with someone whom you are ecclesiastically not supposed to love? Where is God in a salsa bar?
The Queer God introduces a new theology from the margins of sexual deviance and economic exclusion. Its chapters on Bisexual Theology, Sadean holiness, gay worship in Brazil and Queer sainthood mark the search for a different face of God - the Queer God who challenges the oppressive powers of heterosexual orthodoxy, whiteness and global capitalism. Inspired by the transgressive spaces of Latin American spirituality, where the experiences of slum children merge with Queer interpretations of grace and holiness, The Queer God seeks to liberate God from the closet of traditional Christian thought, and to embrace God's part in the lives of gays, lesbians and the poor.
Only a theology that dares to be radical can show us the presence of God in our times. The Queer God creates a concept of holiness that overcomes sexual and colonial prejudices and shows how Queer Theology is ultimately the search for God's own deliverance. Using Liberation Theology and Queer Theory, it exposes the sexual roots that underlie all theology, and takes the search for God to new depths of social and sexual exclusion.

Entrances and the blessing of the Main Entrance in Oshiwambo
September 2011
The Oshiwambo homestead is called egumbo which comes from the verb stem – gumba (to fence).
This can be attributed to the fact the enclosure of homestead was fenced with thorn trees. In some Oshiwambo dialects it is called onghanda. Etymologically, onghanda is a ceremonial baby carrier given to the bride by the bridegroom's family to indicate that she had been engaged. She carries it to symbolise her readiness to start her own family.
The onghanda symbolises enclosure and protection for a human being hence it has been used as a designate for a dwelling.
The thorns were used as a means of protecting the home dwellers against enemies. The thorns were placed against the poles as an extra protection measure. The fence is called ongandjo. The ongandjo is constructed with large mopane tree poles sharpened into points at the top and was used as a defence against enemies and wild animals. Before poles are planted in the furrows of a new homestead for ongandjo, twigs of omusati (mopane) and omugolo (terminalia) are thrown into the furrows by the hegona (a paternal relative). This is done to ensure that there will be peace and harmony in the homestead. Some leaves of omusati and omugolo are also thrown to the poles of the new dwelling for the same purpose. The beer dregs are poured into the furrows to wish the family the large iigadhi (mahangu storage baskets).
The homestead consists of three entrances: The main entrance (eelo/onhu) which faces the eastern direction to symbolise prosperity and good luck in Ondonga. It is believed that the Aakwampungu (ancestors) from the east bless the people are source of fortune while the Aakwampungu from the West bring bad luck. The sun rises in the east and it brings good atmosphere.
Traditionally, people who fall sick are taken to the east to be cured of their ailments. The origin of the Aawambo also lies in the east. But entrance of homestead in Uukwambi, Uukwaluudhi, Ongandjera, Ombalantu and Uukolonkadhi is situated on the western side. The reason why this direction is chosen for the entrance cannot clearly be established. Every commoner has to enter the house through the onhu. Traditionally, the main entrance is sealed with the omunkono tree especially at night. But some people tend to seal their entrances with poles. When one enters the homestead, one pole or two, depending on the size, is lifted and put back. Such an entrance remained closed and it is only opened if the need arises.
The okanto (a small back entrance) is situated on the western side of the homestead. The okanto is used in case of emergency, for example the entire family can use it in case of attack. When an enemy enters the house through the main entrance, the house dwellers can escape through the okanto. The okanto is never used by a stranger. Its shape is different from the shape of the main entrance. The okanto is y-shape passage in a fence.
The okanto is also used by someone who comes from the kraal after milking the cows, because it is believed that if milk travels through main entrance it will go stale. Another small entrance that leads from elombe (the main kitchen) to the granaries section is called etambo. When a king pays a visit to somebody, he enters the homestead through this entrance because it is believed that if he passes through the entrance that is used by the commoners, he will die or become permanently disabled.
There are taboos that are related to entrances such as nobody is allowed to sit in the entrance for no apparent reason. A widow can sit in the entrance after the death of her husband for purification purpose. It is here where water is poured over her body to cleanse her of misfortune.
This practice, however, has been abandoned as it is seen degrading and humiliating for a woman. The main entrance is sealed when the owner of the homestead passes away so that death loses its direction when it wants to strike again. This is also a way of consoling the bereaved people, because they may no longer associate the deceased with the entrance.
The main entrance of new homestead is officially opened by one's paternal relatives. The ceremony is known as ekulo lyeelo (planting of gate- posts). The paternal relatives prepare the four ondjege (Kalahari Christmas tree) or omupanda (lance tree) poles. He plants two poles on each side of the entrance. The Aawambo just like other Africans prefer even number as odd number is seen as sign of bad luck. He uses his right foot or hand only when he covers the furrows in which he puts the poles.
The right hand or foot is a symbol of good luck. He digs a hole in the middle of an entrance and throws in a piece of omudhime tree to neutralize people who come with bad intentions. It is believed that if a witch or wizard walks over this stick he/she goes into 'trance' and loses their power to cast spell on the home dwellers. They seal the hole with the right foot. The stick thrown in the hole remains there for indefinite period to ensure safety and welfare of the home dwellers. The word omudhime come from the verb stem – dhima (to extinguish, neutralize) therefore the pieces of leaves of this tree nor are used wipe away misfortunes. On the contrary, the omudhime sticks are not used as fire woods nor they used as poles for the homestead. Should that happen, the death of the homeowners is accelerated. The seeds of beans, mahangu, sorghums, etc. are scattered in the entrance to wish the family wealth and prosperity. The posts are smeared with red ochre to wish the family good luck. When the entrance is blessed, the hegona (a paternal relative) conducts a prayer:
May more millets travel through this entrance...
May more cattle and goats fill this homestead...
God of Nangombe blesses this entrance...
To be continued...

Tender Touch
8 comments:
A long time a go I read an article about craving skin to skin contact. They called it "Skin Hunger" It particularly addressed the problems of younger widows....Some cuddles can't be replaced that easilyReplyDelete
Although I do love to hug my girls! :)
I see this with folks in the nursing homes. They get touched by doctors and nurses, but it's not the same as someone sitting with you and holding your hand.Delete
Akk, here I am with the reply window open, and got sidetracked into what a civilization is and isn't. I really enjoyed my year with the mesoamericansReplyDeleteReplies
Their mythology is definitely interesting!Delete
After I has injured in tornado and and finally out of the halo I spent some time with an energy healer and I think her work on me did help me help/recover a bit faster.ReplyDeleteReplies
I definitely think there is something to a healing, compassionate touch (such as with energy healers) that doesn't seem to come through with regular doctors and nurses.Delete
This post made me think of times I could have offered compassionate touch and out of shyness didn't. A good lesson ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
It took me years to feel comfortable enough to just give someone a pat on the hand or shoulder. :)Delete

These roses were a surprise one day from my Chuckles!! They were truly gorgeous and they were just because flowers - my favorite!!
The sky and the yellow field of flowers are just stunning in this photo! This is by far one of my top favorite scenic shots!! The lighting was perfect, the evening was perfect, and after getting this shot I got to head off to book club!! It was a great evening!!
My Belle! She is just so darn pretty (yes I'm biased) and I actually entered this photo into our local fairs this year. The first fair it got a ribbon and we are headed out Friday night to see how it placed in the second fair!
Talk about perfect lighting! One Friday I worked later than normal (6:30ish) because I wanted to catch some shots of sunset at the Round Barn by my work! I love this picture so much! It again was lucky timing on the sun setting and of course using the bokeh setting on my fancy camera!
Hawaii Shot!! This beautiful flower was found at the Honolulu Zoo on our Honeymoon and another entry into both fairs! This one also got a ribbon at the first fair, so lets hope it places again!!
I love love love love love love this shot. Between the golden yellow flowers with a sprinkling purple in there and the horses in the background with the green grass and tress = perfection! I couldn't have been happier with this shot! It was one of those days my Paps and I went out to just take pictures and as we were about to pull away we spotted the horses. Naturally we put the truck in park, got out, and spent the next 10 minutes shooting these beauties!
This one happens to be one of Chuck's favorite photos! It's probably hard to tell but it's a scenic shot of a beautiful valley and vineyards! This one picture captures so much of where I live that it's a keeper! Chuck even wants to blow it up and put it in our bedroom to replace the "gloomier" shot that I love! Maybe I'll surprise him and get that done this weekend!
This shot is by far one of the coolest building shots I've ever taken! This was taken in San Francisco when Chuck took me their for my birthday! We spent the whole day sightseeing before a surprise party that night, so not only do I love the shot but I will always have the best birthday memories from that day! I did change the photo to be a black and white because I wanted the focus to be on the building and not the beautiful blue skies from that day!
This photo is where I can show off those blue skies! This was the same day and we were so excited to take the boat tour around the bay! We went under the Golden Gate Bridge, which every one who visits the city must do! It's absolutely amazing to be underneath the Golden Gate Bridge and you can get some great shots!!
This used to be our only living flower! It's dead right now, but I am confident it will come back to life during the fall and winter! I love these flowers and this picture was taken right after it had rained. Some of my favorite shots are ones of water or dew sitting on flowers, grass leaves, or tree leaves. I think they are so simple but so beautiful!!
I've never been a great still life photographer so I've been practicing! Apparently practice can make close to perfect :) This was taken with my little digital point and click camera so imagine how happy I was when it turned out so well! This is another I entered into the fairs! The first fair it didn't place but I re-cropped it and centered it better in the frame in hopes of placing in the second fair! In the original form (and my frame) the bottom of the glass was cut off which basically ruins the whole scene. Wish me luck I get a ribbon on this one!!
Another great shot! This one was taken at some local railroad tracks and is actually hanging in our house! Something about the angle and the bokeh (yes I love that setting) just made me fall in love with this picture! Simple yet classic!
And that folks is the end of my photography challenge! It has been challenging, fun and worth every minute! I've really enjoyed myself this past month, blogging on a daily basis, and getting to have fun with my phone camera, point & click camera, and my fancy schmancy camera! I will more than likely do another challenge during the holiday months or perhaps I'll just take some awesome shots to share with you all!
If any one else does a challenge like this please let me know! My best friend Alycia did this challenge and I loved seeing her posts every day!! It's always a pleasure to see other peoples work! :)
