## Quotes

* I am passionate about youth development and as a person who has always been an activist, I’ve always been about seeing young people using their gift to empower themselves into bettering their lives to contribute to society.
* It’s about hard work, sacrificing family time, always making sure that you do more with less and making sure that you change the lives of people. So, the uncertainty was there – you ask yourself whether it was the right decision or not.
* Sport can create jobs, contribute to the economy and deal with several social ills that we have in our communities. That is why when this opportunity was presented to me, I accepted it with both hands because I understood the role that I had to play as an MEC.
* The uncertainty also creeps in when you start asking yourself questions on whether the work that was started was going to continue without you. I’ve already made up my mind that I needed a new path and a path that would make me grow not only as a politician, but as Onicca as a whole.
* I had to make sure that it was not just about me but about catering to various people and their pallets. I finally met with the head chef for Green Lounge who was also equally passionate but not very keen about healthy eating.
* Everything that we need for healing, God has provided. After the whole world was taken by storm by the pandemic, I had to sit down and figure out what I could do as an individual with the gift of healing that God has given me.
* We had to combine both our skills with me being a nutritionist and getting a chef who has been working in five-star restaurants in the US. It was a good combination for the times when I am being overly sensitive about the health aspect of things.
* There are numerous barriers, I mean the issue of funding was a challenge for me. The business was almost self-funded. The biggest challenge is always the issue of access to funding more than anything.
* Women are lagging in terms of leading in the hospitality industry. We need to encourage women to take up space because the future is female.
* The ingredient for excellence is that I teach my staff exceptionalism. I have gone to tons of restaurants, and this is what I’ve always been teaching. I used to tell my staff that many people start catering because it’s a business that does not have a lot of challenges. So what kept us in the industry for such a long time is because of what I call exceptionalism and being able to be different in your offering, in your approach and paying close attention to detail.

## Quotes

* Observing recent developments in the country, it seems evident that the government lacks commitment to achieving the Southern African Development Community (SADC) declaration for 30% representation of women.
* Namwala was scheduled to receive its initial shipment of relief food from the Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit within the Vice-President's office in July.
* Zambia's historical narrative has largely been shaped by the perspectives of the nation’s early independence leaders, often sidelining or misrepresenting the roles and contributions of other influential figures.
* The conference, set to host over 60 attendees, will bring together scholars, former freedom fighters, surviving veterans from the independence era, children of freedom fighters, and members of the public. The media will also be invited to participate and cover the event, given their key role in educating and informing the public on topics crucial to the nation’s political history and development.
* The conference will feature a series of presentations over two days, exploring subjects such as the historical contributions of forgotten heroes and heroines, honoring Zambia's early political freedom pioneers, showcasing the impact of lesser-known freedom fighters, analyzing the important role women played in the liberation movement, and examining significant sites and events that served as landmarks in Zambia’s struggle for independence.
* Consequently, many children and grandchildren know little about the contributions made by others in the struggle for political freedom. This conference seeks to spotlight some of these forgotten heroes and heroines, ensuring they receive recognition and secure a rightful place in the country’s political history.

## Quotes

* If oversight is not done properly, including respecting the Broadcasting Act in as far as the SABC is concerned, it leads to a lot of problems
* I wish the portfolio committee well in dealing with this task. The shortest process is for the president to get members of the board to step down and then constitute an interim board

* A lot can be achieved when a committee understands what it has to do, which is to ensure that government accounts. It is not always easy for the parties to agree.

## Quotes

* Ἐν γὰρ ταῖς ἡμέραις, φησί, Κωνσταντίου τοῦ βασιλέως, ἐν τῇ Θρᾴκῃ Οὐαλερίου ἄρχοντος, μήνυσις γέγονεν ὡς θησαυρὸς εὑρεθείη. Οὐαλέριος δὲ παρὰ τὸν τόπον παραγενόμενος μανθάνει παρὰ τῶν ἐπιχωρίων ἱερὸν εἶναι τὸν τόπον, καὶ ἐξ ἀρχαίας τελετῆς ἀνδριάντας ἐν αὐτῷ ἀφιερῶσθαι. Εἶτα ἀναφέρει ταῦτα τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ δέχεται γράμμα ἐπιτρέπον αὐτῷ ἀναλαβεῖν τὰ μηνυθέντα. Ἀνορυχθέντος τοίνυν τοῦ τόπου εὑρίσκονται τρεῖς ἀνδριάντες δι’ ὅλου ἐξ ἀργύρου πεποιημένοι, ἐν σχήματι βαρβαρικῷ κατακείμενοι καὶ ἐξηγκωνισμένοι κατ’ ἀμφοῖν ταῖν χεροῖν, ἐνδεδυμένοι δὲ βάρβαρον πεποικιλμένην ἐσθῆτα, καὶ κομῶντες τὰς κεφαλάς, νεύοντες ἐπὶ τὸ ἀρκτῷον μέρος, τουτέστι κατὰ τοῦ βαρβαρικοῦ χώρου. Ὧν ἀνδριάντων ἀναληφθέντων πάραυτα καὶ μετ’ ὀλίγας ἡμέρας πρῶτον μὲν τὸ Γότθων ἔθνος πᾶσαν ἐπιτρέχει τὴν Θρᾴκην, ἔμελλε δὲ μικρὸν ὕστερον καὶ τὸ τῶν Οὔννων καὶ τὸ τῶν Σαρματῶν καταδραμεῖσθαι τό τε Ἰλλυρικὸν καὶ αὐτὴν τὴν Θρᾴκην· ἐν μέσῳ γὰρ αὐτῆς τε Θρᾴκης καὶ τοῦ Ἰλλυρικοῦ κατέκειτο τὰ τῆς τελετῆς, καὶ ἐῴκει τῶν τριῶν ἀνδριάντων ὁ ἀριθμὸς κατὰ παντὸς τετελέσθαι βαρβάρου.
** Only a few days after the statues were removed, the entire Gothic people overran Thrace, and only a little later Hunnic and Sarmatian peoples invaded both Illyricum and Thrace. For the holy site lay between Thrace and Illyricum, and based on the number of statues, it seems they had been consecrated to ward off the whole of the barbaricum.

# Border

Borders are generally defined as geographical boundaries, imposed either by features such as oceans and terrain, or by political entities such as governments, sovereign states, federated states, and other subnational entities. Political borders can be established through warfare, colonization, or mutual agreements between the political entities that reside in those areas.

## Quotes

* My father, whom the robber Afghans vex, And clip his borders short, and drive his herds, And he has none to guard his weak old age: There would I go, and hang my armour up, And with my great name fence that weak old man.
** Matthew Arnold, Sohrab and Rustum (1853)
* BOUNDARY, n. In political geography, an imaginary line between two nations, separating the imaginary rights of one from the imaginary rights of the other.

# Frontier

A frontier is a political and geographical term referring to areas near or beyond a boundary.

## Quotes

* ... what distinguishes a borderland from a frontier is the existence of a territorial boundary that is artificial but specific. The American West, for example, is a place that is difficult to encapsulate as a single unit because it changed with time and settlement and always had ambiguous boundaries.
** James Cusick, "Creolization and the Borderlands", Historical Archaeology, vol. 34, no. 3 (2000), p. 47

## Quotes

* As an artist, the thing that you want the most for your work is for it to be alive. Every new thing you do has to feel completely alive to you. And what works for me always is that there has to be some part of it that is brand new to me, more or less something that I haven’t done before ever. Something that scares me or something that makes me feel like it is going to teach me something. Something that I think is smarter than me. Those are the things that I really hope for in every single project that I do. So whatever it may be the projects that I want to do are always the things that are going to make me feel alive doing them, because I don’t want to beat a dead horse.

# Vulcan salute

The Vulcan salute is a hand gesture popularized by the 1960s television series Star Trek. The blessing phrase "live long and prosper" is frequently spoken alongside it.

## Quotes

* For what would soon become known as the Vulcan salute, I borrowed a hand symbol from Orthodox Judaism. During the High Holiday services, the Kohanim (who are the priests) bless those in attendance. As they do, they extend the palms of both hands over the congregation, with thumbs outstretched and the middle and ring fingers parted so that each hand forms two vees. This gesture symbolizes the Hebrew letter shin, the first letter in the word Shaddai, "Lord"; in the Jewish Qabala, shin also represents eternal Spirit.
** Leonard Nimoy: I Am Spock, ch. 4: "Vulcanalia: Or The Vulcan Grows". Hyperion (1995). ISBN: 0-7868-8910-1.
* So much later, I learned that this is the shape of the letter shin, Hebrew alphabet shin. Very interesting letter in the language. It's the first letter of the word Shaddai, the first letter in the word Shalom, the first letter in the word Shechinah, which is the name of the feminine aspect of God. … People don't realize they're blessing each other with this! It's great.
** Leonard Nimoy, in "Leonard Nimoy's Oral History" (1:02:04–1:06:01). Yiddish Book Center (2013).
