The indigenous African concept of marriage is a socio-legal bond between two clans around a man and a wife and forged through the ukulobola covenant and the delivery of ikhazi goods consisting of cattle and/or other valuables from the husband’s family to the wife’s.
This bond binds the two clans to a permanent ‘in-laws’ relationship that gets strengthened by the procreation of children.
The wife gets transferred from her clan where she enjoyed her maiden status as a princess inkosazana to her marital home where she is elevated to the status of the queen inkosikazi of the household.
She excels in her stature as a paragon of love, care, diligence, reliability and resourcefulness.
Symbolically a married woman is seen as a hen that spreads its wings to keep all the clan members including the young, the elderly, the sick and the orphans warm, served and satisfied.

Barnett Newman (January 29, 1905 – July 4, 1970) was an American artist.
He is one of the major figures in abstract expressionism, and a leading "color field" painter.
Newman was born in New York City, the son of Jewish immigrants from Poland.
He studied philosophy at the City College of New York and worked in his father's business making clothing.
He later made a living as a teacher, writer and critic.
From the 1930s on he made paintings said to be in an expressionist style.
He later destroyed all these works.
Throughout the 1940s he worked in a surrealist vein before developing his mature style.
This has areas of pure color separated by thin vertical lines, or "zips" as Newman called them.
In the first works featuring zips, the color fields are variegated, but later the colors are pure and flat.
Newman himself thought that he reached his fully mature style with the Onement series (from 1948).
The zips define the spatial structure of the painting, while simultaneously dividing and uniting the composition.
Newman died of a heart attack in New York City.
He was unappreciated as an artist for much of his life, being overlooked in favour of more colorful characters such as Jackson Pollock.
Some critics wrote admiringly about him, but it was not until the end of his life that he began to be taken seriously.
He was, however, an important influence on many younger artists.

The New Valley Project consists of building a number of canals, to be able to irrigate parts of the desert in Egypt for the purpose of agriculture.
The project was started in 1997.
Its main canal should cover a distance of .
In 2012, it was still  away from the oasis it was supposed to reach.
Other problems of the project include the fact that the soil is very salty in the desert, and that there are underground aquifers, which are a problem for the canals.
When the land is irrigated, the salt would mix with the aquifers and would reduce access to drinking water.
The clay minerals found in the soil are posing technical problems to the big wheeled structures moving around autonomously to irrigate the land.
Often their wheels get stuck in a little bowl created by wet clay that dried, and the irrigation machines come to a standstill.
The only objective met up to April 2012 is the diversion of water from Lake Nasser into what little of the Sheikh Zayed Canal has been built.

He and musician Fabrice Morvan were the musical group Milli Vanilli.

After not making a record for a long time, Pilatus and Morvan made the album Rob & Fab.
That album sold only 2,000 copies.
The record label went bankrupt shortly thereafter.
Pilatus was born in Munich to a German mother and African-American father.
He was adopted as an infant and raised in Munich.
He tried to commit suicide many times.
He was found dead in a Frankfurt hotel from a mix of alcohol and prescription pill accidental overdose.
He was in his early 30s.

The Savannah cat is a breed of cat.
It is the size of a medium dog.
The breed is a combination of the serval and the domestic cat.
It is a hybrid feline developed by crossing a domestic cat with a serval for a number of generations.
The bodies of Savannahs are long and leggy.
When a Savannah is standing, its hind-end is often higher than its shoulders.
The small head is taller than wide, and it has a long, slender neck.
The backs of the ears have vivid markings, very clear in the first illustration.
This is inherited from the serval cat.
In the wild this lets kittens know where the mother is heading.
In grass the kits can jump up to get a sight of their mothers' ears.
This is important because servals can cover a lot of territory very quickly.
Serval cats can jump over 9 feet high from a standing start.
Savannahs also jump high, but how high depends on the individual.
They sometimes jump on top of doors, or onto shelves.
They love the water.
They have very few health issues.
They make a hissing noise that sounds like a snake.
Overall, they are active and intelligent.
The most serval-like cats are the F1 hybrids.
Most later crosses are Savannah to Savannah.
That, and outcrosses to other breeds, make the cats less distinctive: see second illustration.
These cats are not allowed in Hawaii, Alabama, and some other U.S. states.
They are banned from Australia.
The reasoning is that their extra size and capability might put even more of its precious native animals at risk.

Software as a service is the idea that clients access and use software using a thin client or a web browser.
The software itself is running on computers accessible through the Internet ("in the cloud").
Clients usually pay a fee to get access to the software.
The benefit of this approach is that clients do not need to manage the software installation, and that they also do not need expensive hardware.
One of the problems is that the data is also on the site of the company running the software - that is  "in the cloud".
Getting the data may be difficult, if the software vendor goes bankrupt.

David Schick, whose father was Palm’s employer, recounted one of these episodes:
“She lived up Long Lane, back of the old fair grounds.
On this occasion she was attacked by a group of men who made the attempt to kidnap her and take her south where they expected to sell her and derive quite a profit.
She was a powerful woman, and they would have, from the sale, derived quite a profit.
These men succeeded in tying Mag’s hands...She was fighting them as best as she could with her hands tied.
She would attempt to slow them and succeeded in one instance in catching [an attacker’s] thumb in her mouth and bit the thumb off.
John Karseen, who was crippled and ran a novelty shop on Baltimore Street, happened along at just the right time and by using his crutch was able to assist Mag in her fight with these kidnappers and drove them off and freed her from her bonds.”
She escaped.
When she heard the two strangers had returned to Gettysburg, she ran home and got a shotgun.

The American Bobtail is a breed of cat.
It has a short "bobbed" tail about one-third to one-half the length of a normal cat's tail.
This is because of a genetic mutation that affects the way their tail develops.
This mutation also happens with the Manx cat.
The American Bobtail looks like the Japanese Bobtail, but they are not in the same cat breed family.
The genetic mutations for their bobbed tails are different because the gene for the American Bobtail's tail is dominant and the Japanese Bobtail's is recessive.
