When & Where I Enter
"Only the black woman can say 'when and where I enter, in the quiet, undisputed dignity of my womanhood, without violence and without suing or special patronage, then and there the whole …race enters with me.'" [Anna J. Cooper, 1892] Dr. Anna Julia Cooper was born into slavery on August 10th, 1858 [d. 2/27/1964]. An activist during her life, Cooper triumphed over race and gender barriers to become a prominent scholar, educator, author, sociologist, and speaker. She received her education at St. Augustine's University (NC), Oberlin College (OH), Columbia University (NY), and the University of Paris (Sorbonne) where, in 1924, Cooper became the 4th African-American woman to earn a doctorate with her Ph.D. in history. Author of the 1892 book A Voice from the South, which became a classic black feminist text, Cooper is often referred to as the Mother… or Matriarch of Black Feminism. Read More
"I Am a Black Man" ~ George Tait (poem)
Andreas Woods, the mathematics-major Morehouse class of 2000 Valedictorian who would go on to get a Ph.D. in Egyptology, used this moment in the Morehouse spotlight to explain why he rejected the Cecil Rhodes Scholarship for himself. Morehouse is an all-male HBCU. Distancing himself from Rhodes, the notorious racist & agent of colonial chaos in Afrika […'Set' of Kemetic mythology], Woods recites a poem by George Tait entitled I Am A Black Man – unambiguously staking his claim to the identity and mission of Afrika-descended manhood [aka 'Heru / Horus / Hero' in Kemetic mythology].

Messages in Maps: Psychogeography, Cultural Ecology and the Prefigured Place
Ta-Nehisi Coates rewrote the map of Wakanda. Of all his work on Black Panther and related comics, the new map impresses me the most. It is, while not wordy, the most literary action. While seemingly nonjudgmental, the most political. He de-anglicized some of the place names and outright removed those with – at best – unfortunate connotations, such as the Primitive Peaks and what is listed on earlier maps as Domain of the White Gorillas (Mostly Uncharted). He concretized Wakanda's six major cities, in opposition to earlier versions of "mostly uncharted" or generic "Woods" surrounding a centralized city that counts.In passing, this might not even register with the average reader. Some people jump over extras, anyway, but more than that simply don't sight-read everything and put it into an orchestrated context with a story set in the place a map is illustrating.
People do not often interpolate place names, nearness to waterways or distance from agriculture as even purposeful decisions made by an author. We do not consider it when we know the map is a fiction of a fictional place. We don't question it when we know it's an engineered clarification of a real space. And, to be fair, we really aren't taught that we should, or taught how we can.
Sidenote: Coates and Stelfreeze are talking to something like seven different completely-formed and articulate audiences with every release of Black Panther.
Our primary introductions to maps probably presented them to us as objective and inarguable. It would feel different if a person went around naming everything and claiming it, in real time before us, as theirs or belonging to this ally, etc. Walk up to a local and go, "This thing you call _____ is now _____ because that's my language and this is about me and what fits well in my mouth," and the sense is very different than when it's been done quietly, beforehand, without our witnessing.
The authorship of a map is usually entirely erased by the time we peruse it. That there was an author is obscured from us, in the case of real maps, so they will have the power of truth, and in the case of imaginal lands, so they have the power of conviction. To read a map without questioning the choices of labels, boundaries, or distortions is to be as colonized as the land is as the map is drawn.
We grow up reading maps and we spend year after year in school, most of us, learning cultural ecologies in History, in Cultural Geography, World Cultures, what have you, and yet, don't consider these systems and narratives to have an angle. We expect the explanation of city life in Italy or rural life in Uganda to be as objective as the multiplication tables in Math class. We extend this to maps of fictional locales the same way we do not anticipate the math or science in a story will be false unless it highlights its falsity.
Sidenote: Anecdotal facts couched within otherwise pure fiction are still treated as objective truths by many in any given audience.
A smart author and in this case I am considering all major contributors as authors, visual artists, wordsmiths, anyone making a significant choice in regards image or text. Of course, not all comics – not all of any media – is up to the nominal authors, and sometimes you're tasked with something, as Eliot R Brown was. A former technical artist and designer for Marvel, the first serious effort at a map of Gotham City was Brown's first work for DC. And, it was a work where revisions seem to have piled onto revisions to the point where the work may be said to have lost any cohesive authoring, and not really, even, a steady hand stitching the piecemeal together.
In fact, the map as it has been published and republished/reused (in movies, advertisements, comics, etc) does not line up with the final version that Brown turned in.
Further down the control-scale we have the map generated for Marvel's Age of Apocalypse, which just knocks out South America and the Middle East as "Atrocity Zone" or just irradiated wasteland, but also gives us San Francisco, Dallas, and Chicago while the "Human Settlements" in Africa (which, in comics scenes, plenty of exoticism and nonsense) are given no names or clarification.Sidenote: A cognitive map is a mental representation (and thereby a useful distortion) of the relative locations and attributes in a spatial environment. All maps of Wakanda, in print, are representative of cognitive maps.
The anglocentric nature of the map, that the only details are given over to the United States and to England, even in an anglophone comic, seems to run contrary to the intent of a map of the world, illustrating a world issue. It's a serviceable map, but barely even that. And, even some people who worked intimately on the comics seem unsure how the map really came to be what it is. While the Gotham map may lack an authoritative author, it has authority, while this map does not even have that.
I mention these, primarily, to show the strength of the authorship and cohesive intent of the Coates and Manny Mederos map. But, divers hands or not, cognizant expressions or not, all of these maps are subject to the purviews of cultural ecology, behavioral geography, psychogeography, implicit history and the privileging of information and assumptions. Just because the Coates and Mederos map uses the phrase "political geography," right on it, does not mean it has more of a political geography than those generated by cartographers or authors who did not use the phrase.Not intending something is never the same as not doing something. Intent does not govern effect. Warrior Falls and Black Warrior Creek to the east of "Mostly Uncharted" and north of Primitive Peaks, no matter how well-intended, had certain effects back when that map of Wakanda was created, and it has different, and perhaps more sharply-felt-by-a-wider-audience effects when considered today. Knocking out all of South America as "wasteland" and leaving Australia completely off your word map has effects. The AoA map isn't a map of the world, but a map of an embarrassingly childish American perspective of the world. The Gotham map is articulate and full, and its use by storytellers as a settingSidenote: Cultural ecology is the study of human adaptations to social and physical environments. But, in fiction, the near-opposite occurs, and social and physical environments are adapted to primary characters and prefigured plots.
All maps are representative of cognitive maps. Presence and repetition, familiarity and novelty encourages our reflex perceptions and tells us our left from right, our uptown from downtown, why Australia is a continent and why Europe is one (and why some people expect Central America to be one). Maps aren't topographies and geography. Maps, illustrate.
How we describe worlds describes us. What we accept, how we engage with maps, with the cultural and political ecologies drafted and concretized by authors can define us as readers. When I refer disparagingly to aspects of some of these maps, when I question or beg questions, I am not trying to insult, or even accuse the cartographers and authors. I am grateful for their good work, and for them having done it. Having done their work, the maps are – in many significant ways – no longer about them.
Unbreaking the Egg
"For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn't understand growth, it would look like complete destruction…"
While butterflies symbolize the transformation of life, they become as iconic of springtime in the west as rabbits which, due to their energetic breeding, represent fertility. Rabbits are designated as the token animal of Germanic goddess, Eostre [Eos in Greek]. Easter, for many is a season of blurred lines between the Christian celebration of the resurrection of a crucified patriarchal savior and the celebratory pagan ritual of bunnies delivering decorative and chocolatey eggs, all representing the bounty of new life springing forth throughout nature. The Easter Bunny joins a winning cast of rabbit characters we've grown up fondly with: Peter Cottontail… Roger… Bre'er… Thumper [from Bambi]… the Velveteen Rabbit… Alice in Wonderland's White Rabbit… Bugs Bunny… We might even add the Duracell and Energizer Bunnies to this roster.
I'm one who's loved Springtime all on its own, who hasn't needed an extra excuse to indulge in unhealthy amounts of chocolate treats which [ahem!] I do year-round. The Easter Bunny was never a seasonal distraction for me. But looking through a #MeToo lens, it's now not a big leap to see the dark side of EOStre's animal-spirit. From bedtime fairytales to movies to Easter, masses have been seduced & groomed through cute but de-natured props of patriarchal predation; a mostly male character lineup that's won over hearts and minds. And somewhere there's probably a Playboy Bunny tie-in…
Over the top? I ask, perturbed about how Easter has become such a distraction for me this year, and a dark one at that. As I scour the Internet for my own 'easter eggs'/clues and disclaimers, a popular Mother Goose Rhyme plays like a riddle on a loop in my mind. Then the pictures below pop up as if to illustrate to me that various renowned architects have long been on this next-level trend of appropriating and translating EOStre's symbols. Is this their version of putting "Humpty together again"? My question seems to suddenly render Mother Goose mute…
Eostre's Greek counterpart – Eos "goddess of the dawn" – has been compared to Khemetic goddess Tefnut, in part because of the latter's status as goddess of the morning dew. The dawn, like the vernal equinox announces a new day… awakening… new life/birth… springtime's resurrection/rebirth of nature from the dark sleep of winter, etc. Figurines from the Neolithic period lay an ancient and abiding claim to the divine feminine as goddess of birth, regeneration and resurrection. Iconographies of a hybrid bird-serpent-goddess appear in ancient Khemet and Mesopotamia, which represent her co-creative powers as nurturer, transformer and deliverer of the resurrected seed from her divine masculine/god. [Left figure: Egyptian Predynastic Naganda "Bird Lady" IIa c. 3500-3400 BCE. Brooklyn Museum.] This ancient symbol has been adopted in recent times by a movement in the west whose focus on Goddess worship and femininity was precipitated by the imbalance created by homo-social male-dominated organized religions. The serpentine spiral represents kundalini energy – a life-force which both triggers the formation of the child in the female womb, and also holds the potential to uncoil from the spinal base to awaken consciousness or "3rd-eye" opening… as in Let There Be Light! [Genesis 1:3]
Hathor [Hwt-hr, meaning 'Mansion of Heru' ] was worshipped in Khemet as goddess of music, dance, beauty, fertility, childbirth, women, children and foreign lands. At the Temple of Dendera which was built for worship to the Goddess during the first Intermediate period of Khemet, Hathor's high priests were musicians and creative artists. The ancient personification of feminine love, joy, mother-hood, and nature – Hathor was the original Nile Goose that Laid the Golden Egg, which was the sun god. Women particularly aspired to embody this deeply loved goddess's conjoined roles as wife, mother and lover which gained Hathor the titles: 'Lady of the House of Jubilation,' & 'The One Who Fills the Sanctuary with Joy'. Known to assist the dead in their afterworld journeys, Hathor also used milk from her sacred sycamore tree to restore sight to Heru's lunar/left eye after his legendary bruising battle against Set – usurper of Khemet's throne. "His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk and fitly set." [SoS 5:12]
The relief on the left comes from Hathor's Temple of Dendera. Resembling a modern-day light bulb, the Dendera Light as it's referred to is a depiction from the Hermopolis theology of creation. This theology presents the Ogdoad [8 primordial male-female twin deities] and the Cosmic Egg – from which all life is born. The lotus flower from the primordial sea of Nun gave birth to the sun god, Atum-Ra in a stage known as the first occasion (Dunand, 2004). This flower – pictured around the neck of the goose & at the base of the Dendera Light – is symbolic of Upper Khemet, from where the Nile River flows. The surrounding bulb in the Dendera light relief represents the field of the universe or Cosmic Egg/"Golden Egg" within which the process of creation… birth… enlightenment… springtime… resurrection occurs, and kundalini awakens – as depicted by the rising serpent within. Originally accessible only to high priest initiates, the accompanying texts at Dendera warn against abuse of such knowledge… seemingly in agreement with and reference to the West African mythology from Mali of the Dogon:
"In the beginning, Amma, alone, was in the shape of an egg: the four collar bones were fused, dividing the egg into air, earth, fire, and water, establishing also the four cardinal directions. Within this cosmic egg was the material and the structure of the universe, and the 266 signs that embraced the essence of all things. The first creation of the world by Amma was, however, a failure. The second creation began when Amma planted a seed within herself, a seed that resulted in the shape of man. But in the process of its gestation, there was a flaw, meaning that the universe would now have within it the possibilities for incompleteness. Now the egg became two placentas, each containing a set of twins, male and female. After sixty years, one of the males, Ogo, broke out of the placenta and attempted to create his own universe, in opposition to that being created by Amma. But he was unable to say the words that would bring such a universe into being. He then descended, as Amma transformed into the earth the fragment of placenta that went with Ogo into the void. Ogo interfered with the creative potential of the earth by having incestuous relations with it. His counterpart, Nommo, a participant in the revolt, was then killed by Amma, the parts of his body cast in all directions, bringing a sense of order to the world. When, five days later, Amma brought the pieces of Nommo's body together, restoring him to life, Nommo became ruler of the universe. He created four spirits, the ancestors of the Dogon people; Amma sent Nommo and the spirits to earth in an ark, and so the earth was restored. Along the way, Nommo uttered the words of Amma, and the sacred words that create were made available to humans. In the meantime, Ogo was transformed by Amma into Yurugu, the Pale Fox, who would always be alone, always be incomplete, eternally in revolt, ever wandering the earth seeking his female soul. "
In Genesis1:28: "God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth'" (NRSV). As a well-intentioned environmental steward mansplains from biblcal text: "First the word "subdue". In Hebrew this is kabash. You can't get around it; it does mean… "enslave", and even in the harshest instances "molest" or "rape"… Ummh, Yurugu/Set better stay in his lane!!! In my own well-intentioned effort to not throw the baby out with the bathwater, I'll follow the lead of the Shulamite sistah who knows "love is strong as death" [Song of Songs 8:6]. She is the Southern Queen to whom the God of Revelation [3:11] says: "Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown." May our circle 4ever B unbroken... ❤ ❤ ❤ 121

Tut'ankh'amun ~ Reflections
The "KING TUT: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh" tour ends its world premiere today [January 13th, 2019] before moving on to Europe and eventually back to Africa where the exhibition will remain permanently at the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Since March 24th, 2018, the California Science Center has been hosting the only scheduled US exhibition of over 150 personal belongings from 18th Dynasty King Tutankhamun's 3,300 year-old burial site that were among those removed after the 1922 European discovery and raid of his tomb in Africa's Valley of the Kings, west of the Nile River. Each of King Tutankhamun's burial artifacts are presented in the exhibition as narrative pieces of the pharaoh's quest for immortality as he journeyed through the underworld after his death at the young age of 19 to find his place in the afterlife.
Of the several culturally-significant pieces in the exhibition, two are particularly striking:
1. King Tutankhamun's gilded ankh-shaped mirror case ~ One of the best-known ancient symbols that is often depicted in the firm grip of a Khemetic deity's hand is the ankh. With its feminine oval and masculine crucifix, the ankh represents what the ancients regarded as the key of life. When used in hieroglyphic writing, the ankh may mean "mirror," "floral bouquet," and/or "life." Several ankh-shaped mirrors were created in ancient times and, like the one now missing from King Tut's belongings, were thought by many to reflect eternity. Mirrors/looking glasses were believed to possess magical properties which would respond to the user's intent, ranging from superficial vanity [Old-School 'selfies'?] to revelations of the light/shadow afterlife from the reflected physical prism…The Khemetic mirror thus potentially became an imaginative portal to the multi-dimensional realms expressed in the words "as above, so below… as within, so without" – words which are also reflected in proverbs from Amun~Mut's temple: "All is within yourself. Know your most inward self and look for what corresponds with it in nature… Men need images. Lacking them they invent idols. Better then to found the images on realities that lead the true seeker to the source… The key to all problems is the problem of consciousness… The Kingdom of Heaven is within you…" The Festival of Lanterns honoring Goddess Neith involved the burning of oil lamps through the night to create a reflection of heaven on earth… a scene depicting a feminine portal opening, or a parting of the veil between mirrored worlds. Similarly, Goddess Seshat – dressed in her signature panther-skin dress – is known in her own right as the "opener of Heaven's door." Thus the key of life ['ankh'] in essence infers the creative interplay between multidimensional and complementary creative forces – within/without… above/below – which in turn confer special standing upon rulers in the earthly realm such as King Tutankhamun.
Tut'ankh'amun was originally named Tut'ankh'aten ["living image of Aten"] after his father Akhenaten, the controversial King who upended Khemet's centuries-old religious system in Uaset [Gr. 'Thebes'], to the worship of the singular sun disc Aten from a new religious center in Amarna. Following Akhenaten's death and a brief intervening period of rule by two pharaohs, aided by powerful advisers, the 9-year-old prince ascended the throne his father had held. During his own 10-year reign, the young pharaoh reversed his father King Akhenaten's legacy by restoring Khemet's long-standing god Amun to supremacy and its religious capital to Uaset. He then reaffirmed this allegiance by formally renaming himself Tut'ankh'amun – the name we're most accustomed to, meaning "living image of Amun." Thus, the king chose the image 'above' and 'within' that he wanted to mirror and/or to become as…
2. The King's mode of underworld/afterlife transportation ~ The black panther depicted in this artifact from Tutankhamun's tomb acts as a fascinating spiritual and cultural "mirror" between past and present. The biggest movie of 2018, Black Panther, was released in the month just prior to the "KING TUT: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh" exhibition opening at the California Science Center. As I wrote in a previous post, the scene in the movie in which a presumed-dead King T'Challa journeys through the plane of his Wakanda ancestors… mirrors this specific rendering of King Tutankhamun whose other, signature golden image is itself a "death mask" – perhaps implying that his physical death was an illusion.
The fictional name 'Wakanda' in turn reflects the names of real-life kingdoms such as Buganda through which the source of the great Nile River flows, and from where powerful panther kings – entitled Kabaka – still hold sway. As the earthly mirror of the Milky Way in heaven [called Maziwa Mkuu in Kiswahili, meaning 'great milk'] this sacred River is the true, nature-based Ma'atrix that gave rise to the spiritual-consciousness of ancient Nile Valley civilizations such as Khemet and Buganda. Black panthers are a melanistic variant of the African leopard whose skin features significantly in the regalia of Kabakas and royalty of surrounding kingdoms in present-day Uganda, as well as in the dress of Khemetic deity Seshat – the above-mentioned "opener of Heaven's door." Conferring high status on the wearer, this skin [which may also lie beneath a royal leader's feet] represents the musambwa or territorial spirit in the Uganda region who appears in the form of a panther/leopard and acts as a supernatural guide and protector of the kingdom…
The Baganda have a saying about their royals: "A Kabaka does not die, but gets lost in the forest." It alludes to their immortality and the possibility of return for those chosen ones who are able to find their way through the forest. Depending on how one examines the mirror/ankh, this 'forest' could metaphorically reflect the prophesied 400-year wilderness period [Genesis 15: 13-14] since enslaved Africans first set foot in America. The timing of Black Panther's release, T'Challa's mirrored visual of King Tutankhamun's crossed crook and flail which are symbols of the biblically-mirrored Great Shepherd – reflects this larger, multi-layered Savior narrative… A true visionary, Ryan Coogler re-links the cultural elements while critiquing the European world's appropriations, e.g. through Eric Killmonger's retort to the British Museum director: "How do you think your ancestors got these? Do you think they paid a fair price? Or did they take it… like they took everything else?"
Now, as the "KING TUT: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh" exhibition moves on from America for the last time, I can't help wondering what happened to the King's priceless mirror/looking glass…?
May this 'Year of Return' reawaken humanity to its best reflection and most magnificent Heaven-on-Earth manifestations…

Mazisi Kunene ~ Creative Power
Mazisi Kunene – freedom fighter, literary icon, Africa's poet laureate, and South Africa's first poet laureate – was born in Durban, in the modern-day province of KwaZulu-Natal on May 12th, 1930. Kunene championed African oral traditions, conveying their inherent value in his writings which were originally in Zulu before being translated into other languages. Read More
Auset ~ Divine Seeker
Born in 1803 and orphaned at age 5, Maria W. Stewart was an American domestic servant who became a teacher, journalist, abolitionist, lecturer and women's rights activist. She urged "daughters of Africa" to reject the negative images of Black womanhood that were/are so pervasive, but to instead possess the power of self-definition – in effect to seek, find, and anchor their Divinity as Goddess Auset. In an 1833 speech, Stewart said: "Like King Solomon, who put neither nail nor hammer to the temple, yet received the praise; so also have the white Americans gained themselves a name, like the names of the great men that are in the earth, whilst in reality we have been their principle foundation and support. We have pursued the shadow, they have obtained the substance; we have performed the labor, they have received the profits; we have planted the vines, they have eaten the fruits of them."
The power of images [for good or ill] has been well-known since ancient times in Africa, as evident in the following proverb from the Luxor Temple of Amun-Mut-Montu/Khonsu: "People need images. Lacking them they invent idols. Better then to found the images on realities that lead the true seeker to the source." The Gods of Khemet created a number of art-for-life's-sake images that would, when properly looked upon, indeed lead the divine seeker to the source. Knowing the little strength of the angel of the church in Philadelphia, the God of Revelation encodes one of these key images in His instructions: "I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it… hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown…" [Rev 3: 7-12 KJV]
The Divine Seeker or 'true seeker' – from a 'daughters of Africa' perspective – is represented in the archetype of Auset, Queen and wife of Khemet's beloved King Ausar. According to their mythology, the respect Ausar was able to command on earth and in the nether-world as the bringer of civilization made his 'younger brother' – a god with pedophilic issues named Seth [Gr.] – so jealous that, in his bloody coup for the throne, Set[h] murdered and cut the king into 14 pieces which he scattered throughout the wilderness to prevent Ausar's resurrection. In modern terms, Set [god of the wilderness, chaos, violence, foreign oppressors…] is understood to be the adversary who enslaved Africans and stole land and other treasures via colonialism. Thus the 'wilderness' is the diaspora where his predatory neo-colonial rule and campaign of chaos and extermination expanded. Auset must search this wilderness for the pieces of her beloved while holding fast to her crown of life which, imaged as the royal throne, represents her shero's journey and consciousness of who she is.
Auset ~ Divine Seeker – shows up as the Shulamite in the Song of Songs, the biblical book attributed to King Solomon who, though featured in the song, is not the true 'Majesty' Auset seeks. Famed for wisdom, wealth, and possessing 700 wives and 300 concubines, Solomon represents the unease of one who is trapped in an excess of creature comforts, including his gross objectification of the divine feminine. It's very clear that the Shulamite [Auset] is critical of the modalities of capitalist exploitation, including occupation and sharecropping which have created Solomon's trappings of power and, in turn, required military guardians. She says: "Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it… They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night." [SoS 3:7-8 KJV] "Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver. My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred." [SoS 8:11-12 KJV]
The Song of Songs represents Auset's mourning as she communicates with and searches for the pieces of her Twin Flame in a 'wilderness' [diaspora] caused by the misdeeds of Set, including murder, mutilation, scattering, plunder and rape. Auset's crown of life, denoting her consciousness, purpose and allegiance, is significantly different from those which are worn in the capitals of Europe – their opulent design and materials conspicuously symbolizing conquest of peoples and control of resources. Without this Africa-centered understanding which would acknowledge Auset's presiding role in Ausar's resurrection and return, biblical scholars and translators promote other interpretations even while struggling to explain her divinity and/or justify her existence in 'their' holy book. Introducing herself to an audience of the "daughters of Jerusalem," the Shulamite [Auset] makes clear: "I am black… My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies." [SoS 2:16 KJV] Local to Upper Khemet – southern source of the Nile River – the lily is also the symbol of resurrection in Khemetic imagery. "I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me." [SoS 7:10 KJV]
Euro-patriarchal translations and commentaries surrounding the Shulamite's introduction of herself have varied from "I am black and beautiful…" [New Revised Standard Version Catholic Ed] to more sinister/racist ethnic notions – specifically, as Maria W. Stewart pointed out, against Black womanhood:
- "I am black but beautiful…" [Douay-Rheims Bible]
- "I am black but lovely…" [New American Standard Bible 1977]
- "I am black, but comely…" [American KJV; American Std. V; Webster's Bible Trans; JPS Tanakh 1917; Darby Bible Trans; English Rev. V]
- "I am very dark, but lovely…" [English Standard Version]
- "I am dark but beautiful…" [New Living Translation]
- "I am dark, but lovely…" [New KJV 2000; World English Bible; NET Bible; New Heart English Bible]
- "Dark am I, and comely…" [Young's Literal Translation]
- "Daughters of Jerusalem, I am dark like the tents of Kedar, yet lovely like the curtains of Solomon…" [Holman Christian Standard Bible]
- "I am dark, O ye daughters of Jerusalem… desirable as the booths of Kedar, as the tents of Solomon…" [Jubilee Bible 2000]
- The word "black" does not necessarily mean that the skin is black, but rather sunburnt, dark brown… the livid or swarthy appearance of one who has suffered long from famine and wretchedness. There is certainly no reason to take the word as an argument for the bride being Pharaoh's daughter… She has been living in the fields, and is browned with the ruddy health of a country life… The country maiden feels the greatness of the honor, that she is chosen of the king… [Pulpit Commentary]
- …she was "black" in herself through original sin and actual transgression; in her own eyes, through indwelling sin, and many infirmities, spots, and blemishes in life; and in the eyes of the world, through afflictions, persecutions, and reproaches…: "but comely" in the eyes of Christ, called by him his "fair one", the "fairest among women", and even "all fair" through his comeliness put upon her, the imputation of his righteousness to her; through the beauties of his holiness upon her; through the sanctifying influences of his Spirit… being in a church state, walking in Gospel order… "desirable"(y) to Christ, and to his people. [Gill's Exposition of the Bible]
Certainly, if such white male interpretations of the black female principal in the Song of Songs prevail, then they should at the very least co-exist with culturally-centered interpretations of the African Queen. One version of the Song of Songs' backstory – which has received extensive Jewish, Islamic, and Ethiopian elaborations – describes King Solomon being tested with hard questions during his visit from the "Queen of the South" AKA the Queen of Sheba. The Kebra Nagast ["Glory of the Kings"] tells the national saga of Ethiopian Emperors being descendants of King David as a direct outcome of their Queen's visit with his son Solomon. Followers of the Rastafari movement believe Emperor Haile Selassie I – the last descendant of the Solomonic line to rule Ethiopia [from 1930 to 1974] – to be the Messiah and Lion of the Tribe of Judah. The African Queen's storied visit is acknowledged in the bible thus: "The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here." [Matthew 12:42 & Luke 11:31 KJV]
Told in highly symbolic language, the Song of Songs is itself a riddle worthy of the Queen of Sheba who purportedly used riddles to test Solomon's wisdom, and to apparently expose the limitations of Euro-patriarchal translations and analyses [above]. Who knows what manner of 'darkness' lies in the tents of Kedar or curtains of Solomon to which the Shulamite is being compared by such biblical professionals?! She is not "original sin" in need of white male prescriptions for "salvation." Nor does she seem particularly desirous of the kind of 'majesty' Solomon represents – at least not in my reading of the Song of Songs in which the Shulamite's mission is that of the African Goddess Auset. As divine seeker who wears a distinct crown of life, it's critical that Auset be able to distinguish between chaos/shadow/idol versus truth/substance/source as the above-mentioned proverb from the Luxor Temple states. Only in this way does she prove herself worthy of the crown and title bestowed on all true African Queens: "She Who Sees Set and Heru."
Goddess Auset is… ❤
Panther ~ Black Rite-of-Passage
"Great, another broken white boy for us to fix!" One of several funny lines from Black Panther delivered by Shuri in reference to CIA Agent Everett Ross. "What the hail!" My line when I left the theater on President's Day with mixed feelings about the movie, but mostly about the droplets of ice which had just begun falling from LA's South Bay skies onto my African head-wrap. Was this a sign? Movie promos had gone hard with Gil Scott Heron's classic The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, I mused while trying to extract pieces of the odd weather from my son's fro for inspection. But why not build a strategic alliance between African cousins rather than having T'Challa, in true bourgeois liberal fashion, make a Wakanda charity-case out of Killmonger's Oakland after the fact? Mom, it's not your story… Huh?! Read More
Tears of the Big Waters [a story]
The California sycamore in the meadow of the Topanga canyon hilltop rustled as if it had just spoken. Nya Okatsa's back remained molded against the wizened tree trunk as the sudden jerk from Malik's head in the cradle of her crossed legs belied the nonchalant sprawl of the rest of his six-foot frame on their picnic blanket. He squinted upwards, his eyes sorting through the noonday sun and shadow as the overhead canopy settled from the agitated mid-July gust that had just blown. Seeing the coy arch of Nya's brows within her silhouette, Malik broke into a broad grin – unfazed by her confession that she'd been a tree-whisperer from birth. Read More
KuNtu: A Well-Painted Home
I didn't grow up a comic-book super-fan (more like occasional reader), nor grew to become enticed by Hollywood's silver-screen adventures of super-heroes from the big-3 comic-book universes: Marvel, DC, and X-Men. Marvel's recently-released trailer for the Black Panther movie (set for release on February 16th, 2018) may just have changed all that. Read More

Shana is an HR professional living with bipolar, OCD, PTSD and body dysmorphic disorder. On their own, any one of these conditions can be overwhelming. Managing all of them together should be an insurmountable obstacle, but it's one Shana overcomes. Even so, there are serious consequences, like having 31 jobs in 20 years and attempting suicide.
In the first of two episodes featuring Shana, we'll hear her experience with PTSD and OCD. Shana will explain the precision required to set her clocks and the complexity of hanging her wardrobe. She'll talk about how her PTSD caused her to hold so many jobs. And she explains why PTSD and OCD are difficult conditions to treat.

School of PE posted a topic in Vendor DisplayYou've probably heard the phrase "Get those brain juices flowing…" and it makes sense that the flowing of said "brain juices" would be beneficial in studying for the FE Civil, PE Mechanical, or SE Vertical exam, right? So, what is the best way to promote information consolidation? Our answer: Practicing Problems. Actually practicing a set of problems may seem simple enough, but psychological studies have proven that there is a lot of science behind what makes practicing problems effective. In fact, practicing has been found to be one of the most effective techniques for studying because of the boost in cognitive functionality when doing so. Read More

Nirvana posted a topic in Structuralexample 116.4 seismic load. Why using n=43.5/h^(1/9) to obtain the first period (1/n), not using T=Ch^x? The results from the two equations are quite a bit, one is 0.85 and the other is 0.5x. The former equation is mentioned in wind load, which has some more limitations, such as the height of building and wind direction.

Hello Everyone! After posting my FE exam prep from October 2016 found here: I decided to go strong and work towards my PE Power. Like I mentioned before, I already had the required 4 years of work experience between both Canada and the US, so I decided to apply for the PE Exam and write it in the coming April 2017. I would say, from talking with coworkers, peers, and just overall looking at all the material available it was really intimidating and overwhelming at first. I was very nervous about this exam from the get-go even after studying for the FE and passing it. Having done the FE just recently should help, is what I kept hearing from everyone, but of course I was finding it hard to connect the dots between the FE and the PE exams. Primarily, because the FE really is very basic level understanding of electrical engineering (First and Second year course material from University) whereas the PE is more like the third and fourth year materials + codebooks. In any case, I didn't have a great plan of studying for this like I did for the FE. With the FE I just took the reference material and followed their plans. With the PE, I asked around at work for what was available, and luckily there were a couple folks that had 5-6 different NCEES PE Power Practice Exam and Camara's booklets that combined had over a 1000 problems. I also printed out the NEC 2017, the NESC 2012, the NFPA 70 2017, the ANSI Device Numbers, and had a copy of the EPRM by John Camara. This last book was what I used to start my prep. Similar to the FE prep, I first went through the EPRM entirely and thoroughly. Then I went through a whole bunch of videos on youtube related to Power problems, notable mention Raiya Energy Academy. Again, while I don't always agree with Raiya's solutions, her problems and walk throughs are worth looking into. She gets the steps right 99 percent of the time, but the answer might be wrong in some cases. She corrects herself in most cases. After I finished the EPRM book, I went through the entire NEC 2017 code book and sticky tabbed most of the important and often used artices, (See Raiya's video on Must Know NEC Articles). I have to admit, you are not going to remember where each article is. So heavily rely on the index pages of these code books in the end of the books. After the NEC, I went through the NESC codebook and the NFPA codebooks fairly quickly in order to get the gist of the materials. The last four weeks before the exam, all I did was problems problems problems. I have to admit, after I did the exam, I had a sense of relief, it was either from finishing a long 9.5 hours day (including breaks) or I was fairly confident in what I had answered were correct. For anyone thinking that there isn't enough time in the exam, if you prepared as much as I did, and I think you should, then you should have enough time to write the exam and still have 45 minutes in the end to check everything. I had finished checking and still left a half an hour earlier. Total time taken to study: Once I passed the FE, and got my approval that I had been registered for the PE exam in February, I started studying Mid February. From Mid-Feb to April 19th, I spent 8 weeks studying. Weekends were the busiest (6-8 hours each day) and then 3-4 weeknights of one hour each. Prep Prep Prep, is all I can say. I can usually gauge whether or not one would need to study as much or not for a certain exam, however, both before and even after writing the PE exam, I have to say you must put in your hours to study. It is not that hard, but it is not trivial. So I passed, and the results came out exactly 1 Month and 5 days later. Good luck to Oct 2017s and future PEs.

Mechanical HVAC - PE Exam Prep Materials for Sale
ryan.castelli posted a topic in Yard SaleLong-time lurker, first-time poster. I am selling my PE exam prep materials for the Mechanical HVAC exam.

Just completed the PE Oct 25, 2013, Water Resources and Enviro. I've read some great suggestions on here, and I didn't want to simply take from this Board without providing something in return. I've yet to find a comprehensive post like this one, where it simply answers many questions future-PE takers have. I'll try to be as succinct as I can, while providing enough detail. Suggested References AM 100% CERM (best civil engineering reference out there) PM 75% CERM 15% Wasterwater Engineering (Metcalf and Eddy) 10% Environmental Engineering (Davis Cornwell) Do Nots Bought Hydrology and Hydraulics by Gupta, big waste of money. Horrible index, and very similar to CERM. Could may have used it for one question, but was also answered in CERM I also bought the Water Resources and Environmental Depth Reference manual (CEWE) by Brant and Kauffman, another huge waste of money. Very very similar to CERM, no value add. Left at home I can only comment on these two since I own them. I do not think it is imperative to own any other reference material Practice Problems Though 3 of the 4 suggested practice problem books are more in depth than the actual PE, I highly suggest still practicing with each one. There are many mutually exclusive practice problems that may not be covered by the other 3 and is covered in one of them. Its all about exposure to as wide a variety of practice problems as possible. Six Minute Solutions - Great study material, but is much more in depth than the actual PE. Though these questions may not show up in whole on the exam, parts of a problem may. Important to have a pretty good understanding of the problems overall. Few of the problems in here are ridiculous, but good to at least be aware of different questions Practice Problems, CERM Companion - Another great study material. Stick to the subjects that are covered on the PE. CERM has many additional topics that will not be tested on in PE. These practice problems are more in depth than the actual PE, but again could show up in part on the Exam Civil PE Sample Examination (CESX4) - For some reason really enjoyed this study material. More in depth than the Exam NCEES PE Civil (NCPECW) - This is the one that is an absolute must have. Identical depth to PE! I strongly believe that these are previous Exam questions. I wish I could've found the older version as well to study with Study Strategy Having gone through some very intense studying (read CERM cover to cover, skipping very little. Read Wasterwater cover to cover. Read 80% Environmental. Read 70% of Hydrology book. Completed about 350 hours of study in 2.25 months) this is what I would suggest: Don't be an expert at every problem and every subject. I would highly suggest focusing intensly on 100% of AM and only 75% of PM, with mild focus on the remaining 25% of PM. This way when you're taking the exam, you'll immediately know how to approach majority of the problems, and sometimes not even need to open a book for reference. You'll get those problems out of the way very quickly, and have plenty of time to reference materials for the remaining 25% that you'll put a mild focus on. Tab your references, but don't over tab. Perhaps get a larger tab with a good amount of space on it, and write down the top 3 - 5 important things from that section. Referencing is absolutely key! I can't emphasize this enough. When doing the practice problems, struggle as much as your patience can handle with each problem before looking at the solution in the back! This is very important. I laughed when I saw some of the Hydraulic PE civils coming in with suitcases of books. I came in with only the 3 above and they were plenty. You don't have time to look and look through references. Its stressful enough taking the PE, why stress yourself even more by struggling through piles of books. I completed the AM in 2 hours, and the PM in 2.5 hours. The last half hour of the PM was spent solving 4 problems (my mild focus) which gave me plenty of time to review. Other If there is anything I left out that someone would like to know more about, respond and I'll do my best to give a good response. I found this forum very helpful to my studies, and it is important we help guide each other on this journey...without violating ethics of course.

Stationing. Dumb question?
NIKE posted a topic in TransportationHey all, First time posting here. I am a water resources guy studying for transportation breadth so some of you, broader, more enlightened civil engineers may think this is a dumb question... I thought i understood stationing until i ran across a practice problem in some material a friend loaned me- 3.2 mi of roadway is what equivalent length in stations. The answer is 168.98 Sta NOT 168+96 Sta. Could someone explain when to use the XXX.XX format?? Thanks!
In the NCEES review problems (mechanical) problem 519 and 536 ask questions about the same lead screw. In 519 they use the average of the minor and major diameters, and in 536 they use only the minor diameter. What is the reasoning for one vs. the other, or am I simply failing to comprehend some basic principle? The only other problem I had was with #138 and was covered in the errata: http://cdn3.ncees.co/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Study-Material_2011-PE-MEC-SQS-errata.pdf

On the heels of the Geneva Conference on Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE) and the United Nations Plan of Action for PVE, GCERF in partnership with the Graduate Institute Centre on Gender and Global Change, co-hosted a discussion on "Gender Perspectives in Preventing Violent Extremism". The event featured Ms Carol Bellamy, Chair of the Governing Board of GCERF and was moderated by Dr Elisabeth Prügl, Professor of International Relations and Political Science at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies. The event aimed to bring to the fore gender dimensions in PVE.
The interactive and frank conversation underscored the need for more research on how gender relates to recruitment and radicalisation to violent extremism. Commenting on what pushes and pulls individuals towards engaging in violent extremism, Ms Bellamy stressed, it is "worth remembering that for the most part there are not a totally different set of drivers for men and women". The conversation also emphasized the unique niche GCERF fills as a cohesive funding source to complement national PVE efforts. Speaking anecdotally about her years at the helm of UNICEF, Ms Bellamy highlighted the need for women to play a greater role in peacebuilding and conflict negotiations, reminding participants that "during conflict and instability it is often the women who keep things going, but women are frequently left out of peace negotiations."
Speaking to members of Geneva's international development and security community, Ms Bellamy and Dr Prügl reminded the audience that we must be careful how we categorise and engage with a gender perspective. Ms Bellamy cautioned against viewing women as merely victims of violence, recalling that they also perpetrate and enable violence. Still, the positive role of women as peacebuilders and policy-makers needs to be given more attention. Dr Prügl reiterated the need for more research on the gender dimension of drivers of radicalisation to violent extremism. It was agreed that any research should take into consideration the varying geographical, cultural, social, and economic contexts at play (as violent extremism is itself highly contextual and localised). Ms Bellamy concurred that research on these issues will allow for the formulation of a more holistic approach to the development of policies and programmes within PVE. She highlighted GCERF's part in this holistic approach, as it was launched to fill a funding gap at a grassroots level. What makes the GCERF model unique, she said, is that it pools donor funding and is focused on interventions that prioritise locally-driven, community-based solutions to violent extremism.
In closing, Ms Bellamy noted that gender mainstreaming had yet to bring about significant change at both international and national levels of politics and peacebuilding. However, progress has been made in the field of peacekeeping, as illustrated by the existence of women-led peacekeeping groups. Greater commitment and funding, according to her, should be given to not only mainstreaming gender, but also to the prevention of violent extremism. "PVE is a critical part of counterterrorism efforts, and part of that must include a gender perspective to empower women, and educate girls."

Lopa Gupta, MD, FAAO, FAACS
Park Avenue Facial Aesthetics
New York, NY
Professional Statement
Dr. Gupta is one of New York City's premier eyelid and cosmetic surgeons. She is recognized as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor by her peers and one of America's Most Honored Professionals (Top 1%) by her patients. She has been in practice for 22 years and is Board-Certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and a Fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. Dr. Gupta has achieved top academic credentials from being High School Valedictorian to graduating with Highest Distinction (Alpha Omega Alpha) from the exclusive Northwestern University Honors Program in Medicine to completing a residency in Ophthalmology at Stanford University in 1994. She then received advanced surgical training in Eye Plastic Surgery upon being selected for a highly competitive fellowship approved by the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Why Choose Dr. Gupta? Blepharoplasty, or cosmetic eyelid surgery, demands not only a fellowship-trained eye plastic surgeon, but a highly skilled ophthalmologist with a thorough understanding of the ocular nerves, blood vessels, muscles, and tear ducts to ensure a safe, beautiful result without any risk to vision. She has created and mastered the technique of bloodless, no-scalpel laser blepharoplasty under local anesthesia, avoiding the complications of general anesthesia or IV sedation and the bruising and downtime associated with traditional surgery. Dr. Gupta's aesthetic sensibility stems from her foundation as a performing artist and decorator. She has become New York City's "go-to" laser blepharoplasty surgeon for the savvy patient who desires a natural and artistic result without changing the shape of the eyes.

Beyoncé's double bombshell dropped yesterday when she announced via Instagram that her and husband Jay Z, are expecting twins.
Already, the posted image of her kneeling in front of a floral array, dressed in miss-matched lingerie and covered by a veil, has stolen the title as the most liked Instagram photo of all time. As we write this story, the image has more than 8.8 million likes.
But Instagram-chaos aside, it's the last photo in Beyoncé's album, titled "I have three hearts", posted to her website, that really captured our attention.
Sitting on top of a detachable targa roof of a red Porsche 914, covered in a colourful arrangement of flowers, and a sky-blue backdrop, Beyoncé's belly is noticeably pregnant behind her floral-adorned arm and leg.
The 914 was a Volkswagen and Porsche developed roadster which was sold with a targa or coupe body during the early '70s.
The 914 was supposed to be a big seller - a sports car, with a Porsche label, developed by two German manufacturers and sold with an affordable price-tag. But alas, it was not meant to be the great success and five years after it arrived, it was put to rest.
There are various reasons for this, according to reviews of the time. Like the fact it was more Volkswagen than Porsche, or its lack of a decent performance engine, slow 0-100km race-start. The German-manufacturers tried to fix this with a new six-cylinder engine in the 914/6, but then the price hike put it closer to its more popular sibling, the Porsche 911.
Though there was under 120,000 produced, the 914 was perhaps most known for being the first safety car servicing the Formula One.
But none of that makes it any less cool-looking. We're not sure if Beyoncé and Jay Z have added the glorious red, rusty, beaten Porsche 914 targa to their collection (apparently Jay Z owns a Porsche 991 Carrera Cabriolet, Ferrari F430 Spider and a Bugatti Veyron amongst others), but we're pretty glad they decided to use it in their baby album so we could write about it on WhichCar.
And while we're pretty sure there's some kind of metaphor in Beyoncé and Jay Z's decision to use this particular Porsche, in its glorious red, rusty, beaten body, we're just glad they appreciate vintage cars as much as we do.

Nothing is perfect, however it is how it is handled that makes the difference. Jon has taken care of me on many different levels and I feel like I have gained so much value working with Jon both in business and personally.
