Of Computers and Geniuses

So Garbage In - Garbage Out. The process in between also depends on whether the person sitting behind the monitor hitting the keys on the keyboard was fed garbage or goodies. So in the end it is not the computer that is the genius, but indeed the person behind it.

Does every genius know everything? All babies are born without knowledge. Some learn faster than others, but all do eventually learn. Some learn faster for they have been allowed and encouraged to do so. Some know much than others for that is their only pass time knowing things. Some have to do so for it is a necessity. A matter of life and death. In pushing hard their brains to learn what can be understood by adults alone, they get there. Sometimes God sees the cause and helps with wisdom and knowledge to accomplish such. So there goes genius.

Can I be good in everything as I claim? Test me. But I find that it is of not much use. I will still always do what needs to be done. So I don't burden myself much with the thought of what don't I do. Some have tested me over and over and wore me out. I can't live my life being tested for there is,no end to it. For just when I think I have accomplished more, there is always something that needs to be done. For some time I don't know it, but I do eventually know it sometimes better than those in practice. Sometimes when I think I know much, I find I know too little. So yeah, human and real flesh like everyone else but depended on God very much so even asked to so as He pleases lest I fail to attain that which is priority, salvation to meet him face to face and ask Him questions of things I have not understood yet.

So, accountant, you scored distinction in your degree? Does the computer confuse you with its formulations? It is very likely, the genius behind AccPac was not accountant and was not given the goodies the accountant require lest they become accountants themselves.

When it awed them, they thought the computer can't make mistakes. But these hands have time and again fooled a computer made it do things it never thought it could do fried some RAM, pinged it to death, strangled some viruses, broken some codes, made it walk upside down, you name it, people have done these things. But it does make a foolish mistake.

It can confuse an S with a 5 and die terribly. So it your life did depended on one do really keep a backup of your life somewhere else safer. It does not hurt to hide it in God. That's the safest deposit for after death there is life in Heaven. And when your computer genius making it walk upside down, make sure you don't put a 2 where should be 5 or an S for that matter for somebodies life depends on it and they may not have made a deposit in Heaven yet. So they may die twice because of your playing genius.

Don't get me wrong people are foolish enough to think everything that comes out of a computer is a Goody. Do make sure you put Goodies in it not Garbage. Make sure you put off as much Garbage out of the computer as possible, for a little Garbage multiplied with the Goodies is still Garbage indeed.

Do always try to make Goodies out of Garbage as well. For not all will remember to put away the Garbage.

When you writing AccPac do get a genius accountant to confuse you with questions as well. What comes out will be much better for the average accountant.

I heard someone, we can't make a correction for the computer has said so. I laughed inside and yet hurting as well, for I needed the money the computer had wrongly edited away. And this clerk behind the glass thought himself a genius using a computer to want to call security when I complained. Such is people's foolishness towards computers.

Do make sure the computer does not edit peoples money away for next time, it will edit yours. When it does so, you will be a Bill Gates inverted upside down. This may happen once in a billion. Sure, it does happen. You never know whether the once will be the first or the last of the billion. Such is chance as all computer geniuses know. Even God knows better about chance. He takes care of His children every day so that chance does not find them lacking.

Oops! I lost all this that I have written above. Lucky, I had auto-save that saves even when my editor closes. I hope I won't make it a habit not depend on auto-save. For I might use and editor that does not auto-save and lose a book worth of information. Sorry for the grammatical errors. When spell check tells you to put what you do not mean thinking what you mean is garbage, you forget sometimes and allow it to edit away the Goodies you mean. So do proof read and make comments, ask questions where the grammar tests sour. Sorry about the typos. You know, even spell check does not catch some of them.

Remember God. It is Sunday today. Go and pray. Make a backup of your life in Heaven. Heaven is the only place your life is safe. Spend time with family as well. The computer won't run away. Shut it down just in case. But I assure you, you will find. It doesn't have legs.

When you run a little code on it do find time to play as well. Get a life.

Operation Bwezani: The Final Bwezani.

Just a thought about payrolls, bank loans, grants and savings.

I just talked about payrolls and I am looking at all the advantages and all the disadvantages all over again.

The attitude of product and service providers in our current economic environment leaves much room for appreciation. Customers are regarded as egg laying chickens which could just be slaughtered if they fall sick as a way of reducing losses before they spread the disease to other chickens. That is like the normal of the day. But Human Beings? Human beings deserve much more respect than that. Even the sickest should be taken care of with love to the very day of his death. This is an extreme but it is the reality of the attitude business owners have towards customers. It stinks. And I hate it.

You buy something and you are given something damaged. You complain, they would even want to close the door in your face. The hearts that break! Do you people understand? Do you understand how difficult it is to make ends meet for the lowly people when you move in your prado's gazzling fuel like water?

I saw a tobacco farmer trying this way and that to try to prove his identify that he is indeed who he says he is in order to order to access the information for his tobacco sales. He must have walked for long indeed and maybe has stayed in the depot for long and without food and his relatives might even be worrying if he hasn't been killed by the robbers especially with tobacco money or he has decided to squander money for themselves.

Even this dirty look he has now acquired to access his dear money he has worked so hard for, is really an extra feature to doubt his identify for the money he claims. Why? The auction holdings limited has a state of art security which even locks out even its customers. When customers don't come to claim their money they might even be regarded as defaulters who don't need to be paid. Maybe they have a lot of it. So we might as well gazzle some of it on beers some of it on the sweet ladies at Paris. Some of it on fuel. When they do come we just tell them we closed your account for you did not come to claim it. Stupid.

The customer is outside your gate coming daily to claim his pay and you have locked him out of the money he worked hard for to gazzle some of it on beers and the sweet ladies at Paris and buy some bicycles with it. Of all these losses a human being can make for his own money. None! For it is better to enjoy what one has worked for, even to his death, fortunately they are wiser to save all that they need from the much money they get. But should it be you who claim to encourage savings, lose it all for him? Stupid!

When banks go to government we want to do this and that in order to encourage this good and that and this will bring this much revenue in taxes. The government says yes. Indeed they say yes for all you have told them are advantages but you have not told them that to get that much revenue to the coffers of the government, you will have to lock out customers for their own money. You going to sell some, who don't speak much, the damages and shut the doors in their faces before they can spread the disease to other customers. Stupid!

Government should know this and thoroughly understand the ideas brought before them and even follow up on how customers have received or are viewing the new idea. CAMA should be number one to follow up these. I hope it is not an NGO depending on donors who might want to protect their investments as well.

Government should really speed up the idea of financial independence. We managed then why should we fail now? We depend much on taxes now because we had to stop depending on donors who had to have us sell all our income generating companies which allowed us to have all that we needed provided at our own pace without having to burn out with overwork. With everybody happy buying malawian. We should put our worries where worries need to be, taking care of our sick not filling up the fuel tank.

I should think those who complained most during Kamuzu's time are such as who tore apart all our companies. Than those who lived on this land called Malawi.

If truth be told, I would not be surprised if the procedures of privatizing the companies, the direction they have taken, the wishes upon formation of the companies, clauses in the registration documents to self guard them might render all the privatisation illegal and allow us to claim back for our land Malawi our heritage, which our forefathers built for us for our enjoyment and use. For the sweat they sweated they sweated so that we might not need to sweat as they did. I shall not want to sweat for what our forefathers shed their blood for for our enjoyment just because somebody else has taken it. I shall want back all that is the heritage of the people of Malawi to be returned to Malawi.

The people of Zimbabwe have suffered for the work their government have done to claim back their heritage. I shall not want this work be left to the government alone. But I shall indeed ask our genius lawyers to go into the books and records to fight a brilliant battle and get our heritage back.

This is the final Bwezani I want. If it was said, they overcame by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their Testimony, the blood the lamb had already shed, had already bought their heritage back. By the word of their testimony they claimed their heritage back.

Our forefathers have too shed their blood for this our heritage. When asked why do you have to do all this? They did reply, that you my children may have a better life than we lived.

The heritage they built for us the people of Malawi, is not being enjoyed as wished our forefathers.

We shall want to enjoy our heritage as our forefathers wished when they built it whether in the current hands or not and get back all that is illegally taken from, and buy back all that we want to buy back.

Above all we shall appoint to manage our heritage, those we see fit to manage it, following the wishes of our forefathers that in their wisdom crafted laws and procedures that greatly prospered our land to cause so much envy to the foreigners and Judases who tore them apart. We shall have the right to demote those that manage it not according to the wishes of our forefathers as the guidelines and procedures in managing such require.

Of Teachers Payroll

With vast bubble up of private enterprises, every company has to make sales to survive. Some companies in their making sales do force a sale where its not needed.

In implementing IT Solutions, the average problem various manual systems to be resolved, is most likely a logical problem. It is required the logical problem in the manual be solved implementing a computerized solution. Otherwise instead of solving the problem, computerising multiplies the problem and faster.

Garbage In - Garbage Out.

That's the first statement you get in introduction to computer. What people have taken it today, I know not. You realise every body expects only

Goodies In - Goodies Out.

But the truth of matter is both statement exist hand in hand.

If your goal is to multiply Goodies and you put in Garbage, Garbage is what you will get. No computer engineer can make this different.

When I hear about the idea of every teacher requiring a bank account, in order to resolve the ghost workers problem, I find that even the bank account cannot resolve this problem completely but rather make it more tricky. In this era where teachers have limited options to officially change professions, how shall it be traced that a teacher who has stopped working is still receiving salaries. For at least in the manual system, the everyone is sure to get a salary at the school they teach, and the headmaster accounts for each. If one teacher has left, the headmaster can not employ another without the knowledge of the division headquarters. So in the end the ghost worker problem resolves. From time to time, the ministry of education sends inspectors, do they not check and confirm the presence of each teacher physically? Does the goes worker still exist today in the twenty first century? I find that it should not.

While with the birth of the ICT industry, the ghost worker problem was one of the popular problems given as an example of the problems to resolve. If it is an issue of payroll, is it not possible to let the teacher have choice of which account to use? Not all of us would have the same preference of banks. Some of us have been greatly disappointed by some banks and would rather have nothing to with them. Some banks would give, conditions that personally we would not like. While it is possible, to receive and transfer the money to the bank of choice, who shall pay for withdraw charges other banks require? Shall the government foot the bill for such bills? Or are they are letting the banks rip where they have not sown by deducting charges from teachers on withdraw?

I find that a simple government certified voucher would do in this case where already almost every teacher has a personal account whether jointly heard or individual, and the payment voucher written in the name of the teacher, would allow the bank to debit the government and pay the teacher their due while the bank settles everything with the government. The verification protocol at best could use Information and Technology tools for efficiency.

I find the integration of such a solution beautiful and more realistic, offering choice, ease and efficiency in the process (other details not included, of course).

By the way, I don't like the idea of a demand to open the accounts or forfeit payment. Teachers are not prisoners who have to be punished to receive their payment nor children who have to be taught with such conditions.

Some banks would rather you check your balance on the ATM What with the rain? And in some you have to come back several times due to network failures. So the money is mine and I had to sweat for it and should I be locked out from accessing my own money?
While there are levels of security, sometimes it is not the strength of a lock but the cleverness of the protocol.

Of Depression, Anti-depression and Job.

Just walk through of dopamine, its inhibitors and stuff.

Some genius must have dug and found an anti-depressant that inhibits dopamine and the person normalizes. The cry of Eureka! leaves a lot more that need care before some thing can be accepted. The entrepreneurialing science industry has made this a little worse. With non-scientific management who only see money! Profit! Promotion! Yea, science goes down the drain.

So what happens with dopamine inhibition? There are two chemicals: prolactin and dopamine that counteract. One motivates to do action, one resolves the limit of motivation with satisfaction.

Depression occurs with wider range of reasons than demotivation. I do believe secreted with prolactin, should be some hormone of happiness for that is one indication of satisfaction.

A depressed person, while unhappy, he is weighed down by a thought. This thought which can not be resolved by chemicals but another thought or word. The idea of medicating mentally ill persons seems really to come from the idea that a human being is completely chemicals and no soul. The lack of acknowledgment of the soul and the consciousness in science is what has mostly, especially in the field of psychiatry, made psychiatrists to twist this hormone and that to make this chemical react with that and in the end so many imbalances are created that the body itself becomes confused to what it is reacting to.

A person is normally supposed to be happy at a happy thought. If an external chemical is produced where there is no happy thought, to make the body react happy, the body develops a habit of responding to that thought with happiness. Such is confusion twisting chemicals to resolve thought disorders creates.

One does start with depression(I am convinced all depression is resolvable). Normal recovery is a process like Job(Bible). It is a kind of morning that is so deep and should not be interrupted before it matures. Job loses everything in one day(I have spoken this somewhere, if not right here on my blog). He regards all that he has been doing to self-guard all that he has finally lost and is sad. It weakens him to this silence for seven days and on the seventh day does speak starting with a curse of the day he was born and wishes he was dead. These are rightly, signs and symptoms of acute depression any psychiatrist could treat them so. Yet treating them at this level is wrong. Best that they can do, is simulate what the friends of Job did, his talking and reasoning has helped him overcome thoughts that have weighed him down before his loss, and now in his loss to resolve within himself what is it to hold to and to live by for all that the world has said to do to keep all that he has, he has done and still lost everything. Of all his resolutions he does speak now out of this reality against the friends who have seem to not have known this reality and his speech does look controversial to the popular thought of the moment(the fact that a thought is popular does not make it true or right. This is the root of the folly of democracy). But it is what overcomes the thought that outweighs him in the depression.

Here is Job, who has spoken, and all have not agreed with him. At this moment, even though he has held on to his thought, he would fall into rejection of all the friends hold on to even God, if that's what the friends profess while hanging on to the popular thought. Though he might not leave his right judgement of what is right and what is wrong. He does distance himself from anything Godly. It takes the fourth who has listened and put all thoughts in right perspective. It brings all reality in perspective and resolves Job's own innocence which now brings the right kind of happiness into his thought.

Now God even now does come. But even them though God does come anger, Job is seeing God and is smiling not even listening(I think) to the fact that God is angry, but he is seeing whom he has loved and longed to meet. It becomes enough to just see him.

Such is happiness uncontrollable. Laughter that rocks your heart out that you can laugh from morning to evening without being quenched.

Unfortunately such laughter psychiatrists don't approve as well. Iiih, zawo zimenezo!

But I think they need it. It is good medicine for the soul. For their souls have been dead from being ignored. It can really revive their spirits enough to treat their patients with love.

In Personal Pockets

I found several situations which should not be and could rightly called corruption and treated like that.

You go to a police station, you find every police has a prisoner of people he caught on duty, in his pocket. When prisoners come in, they can't be helped or dealt with by other people but him.

The standard procedure should be when he gets prisoners in, he should take a statement of each individual and give his report so that when someone else comes on duty should be able to follow up on each person so that those who have no crime can be realised as soon as possible. Those who have commuted a crime, they should have a hearing as soon as possible, and convicted (or vindicated if innocent) and given the appropriate penalty. Why it might be true that one may have committed a crime, the punishment may be too small than the policeman could personally judge, or too grave as well. There was a situation at one time more than half or if not all of the people in a police holding cell, were had statements taken, and it seemed all were really innocent. One guy had just been realised and was found by a certain policeman and put back in prison for looking dirty and unkempt. One young boy about 11 or 12 was left for more than one week for picking five hundred kwacha during a wedding ceremony. The judgement he was given, he would come out of prison when the new couple breaks up. What kind of judgement is that? If that boy does pray to God for help does God break up what he has joined together to release a young boy who does not know what to do and has been given too grave a punishment? What if the boy gets abused in prison and contracts hiv or indeed gets tb infection or some other infection. Shall God punish the couple? Better the wrongly judging policemen.

This other guy sold a cellphone to somebody and was not paid, the police arrested the guy who was not paid leaving the guy who took the cellphone walk free. Isn't that crazy? What kind of justice is that?

Another guy had a cheating wife who falsely reported him to the police to have committed a crime so that he could go on with the other guy. And his case was not heard or contested.

All these are some of the examples of cases that were in police holding cell some for several weeks some not having contacted an relatives who might even have been thought missing. Probably they even had been reported to the same police but because the policemen had not taken statements, who could know the were right within the police while the same police were busy looking every corner of the town, even accused the guardians of not taking care of their children well. I said stupid! No more.

Does the respondent become the boss not the complainant? Unless this attitude changes would real justice be even before going to courts. The one who brings a complaint should be the boss whether poor or rich whether with a big title or not. That will prevent from the one who wasn't paid from being put in the cell other than the one who failed.

Are really the police the law? No they are not. Nor are the lawyers, the courts or judges. The law is in pile of books. The policemen are not, and have never been the law, nor should ever be. Otherwise they will self-righteously put prisoners in their pockets and give them unreasonable punishments.

Another office that puts goodies in their pockets which should be available to everyone: Malawi Housing Corporation. Should an MHC agent charge extra on the houses he overlooks if at all it is his responsibility? He already has a prescribed salary deemed to be enough for his position. No agent should keep houses in his pockets.

There is a clause as well in Malawi Housing Corporation tenancy agreement which restricts under-letting. It is not proper for houses to exchange tenants outside the MHC office. Otherwise that is the reason why those on the waiting list don't get houses. Let everyone honor the under letting clause which say requires MHC attention if the house is changing tenants. Let MHC give the houses on first come first serve basis. Otherwise, where do we find houses?

My Thesis

Why must I put it here? It answers some questions of what is me today.
There was a time I fought something but it was too big for me. The casualty from there took me long to recover and most of the knowledge I got is what helped me overcome. The story of how I overcame should have been my thesis but I had to put something academic for my degree work to be appreciated.

I have always wanted to do cryptography other than coding theory as I felt cryptography was better relevant to my computer science carrier than coding theory. As it has direct application in terms information security.

Where do I start is always a difficult question. For I might have to from the beginning or jump in the middle or at the end and refer to all issues at random. I hope I will manage what I need to say.

Of Life, Values and Goodies in tragedy

Kamuzu's health care policy was among the 4 Major Development Goals(MDGs)Malawi had. Good health, Good shelter, Good food, and Good clothing. His slogan was "riches are in the soil" to encourage farming. He built corporations to do most commercial farming for exporting. He built corporations to build commercial buildings that still make our cities pride. These can't be built by individuals and still be an attraction to the city. He built a corporation to build good houses for employees and individual had options to purchase some. The houses are still around many and still standing strong and beautiful over the recent built. Most of the corporations have been sold off to people who have torn them apart.

Probably the foreigners when they came used to say these Africans why should they have a better life than us? Filled with jealous at our way of life they broke so much. I hate to say even the health sector.

Should we not have free medication if we can afford it? Of course, Americans pay so much for their health which kills them in the end. It's not wise to make money on somebody's life. You are going to watch Bill Gates die before you just because he has lost documentation to indicate he is the monies. How he ends up in a situation like that? No computer can predict. For chance happens to all whether rich or poor, the Preacher says. So I guess when the rich who could afford to leave America for what they thought an honorable looked at us thought we need to pay for medication so we can be rich like them. We should keep money in banks to feel rich. Mmmh, riches are still in the soil the bank is the krawl and the granary. How good it feels to sit on your verandah sipping a four o'clock chombe tea which your wife brews just right, milk and everything including stork margarine and blue ribbon bread on a white tray.

So your child comes and says, dad I need a new shoe. And Mtheto and Willie are around at the time. I say with pride, why don't you and Willie get one of the kids in the krawl for sell. Buy yourself your volleyball kit and studio gear you asked for the other day. Yes, the one with black and white sparkles. The little clever one. Yea, that one. Buy her some new Bata shoes as well.

Isn't that a life!

When I see the health disease the Americans have, how fast it spreads to our lands, I really need to say a word.

Obama having set foot on this continent and learned from his relatives the values and priorities we have. The American way looks ugly. Not in the bling, but in the quality of life.

My quality is filled with happiness with family joys and no lack. The American life sounds so much loneliness and alot of worries about bills. Medical bills, telephone bills, health bills, cable bills, gas bills, life insurance, this insurance, that insurance, credit bills, so on and so forth which have just accumulated with too much marketing telemarketing frauds unsettling peoples comforts and joys to buy that which they don't need into their homes and enough fear to ensure they pay monthly insurance premium for fear it might break when it just rots in a dusty corner. Why? The price was high so it should last as long as possible. Mmmh.

If Kamuzu said we don't need television, he said just right! We don't need American TV. We don't even live in Iraq to know what worries Americans in Iraq. We can best use it to relearn our cultural values. Yea, by American standards most of our cultures are evil. I have seen a vast vacuum of the goodies only our culture can give. I have seen in so many different ways God filling the vacuums of our culture. I have seen many stumble into something our culture gives and help build their lives. The problem is its not formalized. We have men of God who have known our culture and known the word of God. They can screen through our cultural activities, with the word of God. They have done this for many years, I would love they also touched on the issues of marriage.

Though we have learned different values of sexual purity there is still a gap to bridge us into marriage. We get to the point of readiness but don't know what to do. The result is again temptation unwanted pregnancies abortions and with a lot of temptation even become unfaithful. Why? We don't know how to get married. It seems parents expect us to already know because they have always known but we don't. Maybe they expect us to just stumble into it. Yeah, we will but still with fear whether we have done the right thing. Of this fear, it is easier for those who have not been taught the Christian purity values though many still have been taught faithfulness and abstainance.

We need to be bridged into marriage. It is the safest place for grown up youth to be in. We end up having problems in modern marriages, due to the neglect of a simple value. Respect for the husband. A little disrespect really comes in hard for the husband. With all the gender equality stuff, its like a weapon wedged against the husbands. You girls you should know we love you and protect you delicately. We see how vulnurable you are naturally that's what makes us want us to shield you from anything harmful (don't feel over-protected for whatever we see drives us to do so).

When you look at gender violence and think empowering women is the solution, sometimes you make them really disrespect us and that pain and provocation is too much. It takes great patience not to react violently. This is what breaks many marriages.

The same disrespect in the homes, now drives the old men to seek for even younger girls who should really be their children's wives. They become a very welcome prey having been starved by their wives (female power they call it) and their wives gone to bridal showers advising the same young brides who might have served their husbands when they were at anothers bridal shower or kitchen party or something, when they should have been spending this time with their husbands.

Sunday afternoons are too long to be spent alone at home. This time is to spent with family after a hard working week and restful Saturday.

Why bridal showers which involve only women? Why not something that can involve the husbands and the young men? Don't young men need to get advice also? Bachelors party? If done together, it might be a way the husbands to spend time together with their wives get to know each other better as they express themselves in an environment that allows to talk about marriage issues.

Then marriages would be better arguments less with the wife and the husband freely expressing themselves, issues of disrespect forgotten for there is mutual love coming from really understanding each other.

Their young boys and girls would then feel at peace to live in their homes instead of friends homes which have similar problems and end up in places where girls meet starving husbands and the boys are too pure for girls and the thought too delightful, and the result is abortions.

In the meanwhile women are just out feeding on female power and advising their husbands muses. What about the boys? Really struggling with temptation to resist these cute young virgins when they should be in marriage with the fiancee, they should have spent quality time with this Sunday afternoon but is out with this cash machine who also gives her more goodies than her pure boy. The boys end up yielding to this same temptation when the marriage which should have been a home, ends up a thorny nest with disrespect from their wives and the afternoon is too long.

What should we do with this tragedy?

Men, call you boys mobile. Take them to the place of temptation let them know why their girls are disrespectful and absent. It will equip your boys to wade the environment better and keep the girls home and maybe turn the wives heart back to their marriages and save the day.

IPv6: Reloaded

After looking at the advocacy and reasons given even the incompatibility factor, I smell something fishy with this IPv6 addressing system implementation.

The push does not seem to come from an engineer. And engineer would take seriously the issue of compatibility especially a computer engineer.

It is a core part of his training for an engineer to design a change over plan that minimises costs and ensures smooth transition from an old system.

It is a grave engineering mistake to disregard compatibility. So many things would break resulting in great losses, both financial and with high possibility, life.

However, politicians can demand such a push and in their political mind would prefer mass media to do drive the change over than practicality of the solution.

It raises questions like how much control can one have over an IPv6 network compared to IPv4? What would the reason for jumping IPv5 when it seems most problems IPv6 is solving can be solved by the combination of IPv4 and IPv5?

We might fall into a trap we understand not.

I thought about the internet. Why do we need it? Communication? True. With who? I found that my average communication I do on the internet is still with my fellow malawians. But the tools I communicate with are not in Malawi but outside. Yes, they are free tools but the fact that they are free, is the reason I use them. The fact that I use them, makes me need to connect outside Malawi which at the end of the day, at national level, it is a great expense.

The allocation of addresses Malawi has for the number of ISPs available (those are who need public up addresses) I feel should be enough. We have less than 100 ISPs. How many ip addresses is that? If we might need more than 500 public ip addresses, the somewhere somehow is a big abuse of ip addresses. Something MACRA might want to look at. A proper design of the domain name system would enable us to reduce dependence on the outside network and therefore reduce the cost of connectivity. Most of us are forced to use the freely available tools because few good are provided and in a restrictive manner which with reduced dependence on outside internet would be available cheaper. There have been talks of a national internet exchange provider which allows for local exchange of local content. We have had a national infrastructure(MTL) which against all economic reasons was privatized. It is good that MACRA is creating a fibre network but much has been invested in creating the previous infrastructure and for a long time making it very possible MTL was for ill reasons privatized and at very small value than the infrastructure available.

It seems even companies like Airtel don't value infrastructure much than they do a customer base. They can overhaul the whole network(it is easy anyway you just buy new access points and connect them to talk to each other over already built transmitters). How much would an access point cost? Not worth the worry I think.

So what is the cost of building a transmitter for some radius? What is the cost maintaining it? What would be the cost of using it? Take away the cost of connecting outside Malawi, the cost communication is unbelievably low. Put in place the tools for communication locally, dependence for external tools is little. Now having reduced the dependence of external tools, the need for external communication is further reduced and by a great percentage I think. When external communication outlets are reduced, the cost of maintaining such shared on over the whole population of Malawi. This by a great percentage would bring the cost of communication. That is what fuels economic development.

I wish government, would allow me even fund me to implement such for the population of Malawi. Not single handedly but I can get a work force to achieve this. We will buy same tools as other networks and maybe cheaper and better, but we will manage them better and reduce the cost greatly.

My HTC Tether

Maybe someone is wondering, has he won another phone, this HTC Tether? I have won but not a phone nor a competition but an idea to connect from my home town in Mzimba and managed to download a file for my Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

So after the cafes have blacklisted me for using the computers efficiently i.e. getting what I need in a smallest time possible making a lot of savings, I thought I can't go quarreling with cafe people forever (they steal anyway the slower the internet the greater the profit, I give them less profit for I having research on my phone, I go directly to what I failed to get on my HTC from the cafe spending little time possible). I thought either I should building me an ISP right away or find another way to connect to the internet and get my downloads otherwise would unnecessarily lose friends (I wonder though, sometimes you go to a friends cafe to push them on).

Airtel airtime is still expensive and the service still a little poor. This has kept me from using most of the features on my phone. This time I had smaller downloads so it isn't much of a worry but does have potential.

So I got me an Airtel Daily bundle managed to use the internet longer than I have ever done. I managed because being a new installation, I was able to track and turn off automated updates. So there was little background traffic possible. This is not always the case on some computers.

So far, I managed to download sqlbuddy which is about 300kb and was downloading a php interpreter which is a lot bigger 13mb. Started around 87% data remaining on my bundle it exhausted about 67% of,the download. The peak speed I got so far came up to 18Kpbs. Meanwhile I couldn't browse other pages which were painfully slow. So I just left it to the download. Now remains. If I finally top up my data, would I be able to resume where I stopped? Yet to be tested.

Why am I against a Political Councillor?

After my father's death the department of surveys and physical planning has been allocating people on plots we have always known to belong to us. This has happened always when everyone of us the children are off some to work and some to school and my mum is alone at home in Mzimba.

The first time it happened, we found out that most of the important documents were mising from the lands office. Fortunately there was a file which was thought to contain information about an already sold off plot but had information enough to reproduce the documents of all our plots. Even though, this information was available, we have been trying to get the lands office to reproduce these documents without much success.

When we left home having agreed they would resolve these issues with her, they turned against her putting in conditions which on her own she could not fulfill therefore frustrating the process of resolution. Aside from that they decided to allocate some other people on our other plot again not following the laws.

All these actions were done in the name of subdivision of the land and would not have been effected without written documentation and our signed agreement and the approval of a councillor.

These actions appear to be deliberate and seem to take advantage of our absence and the fact that mum cannot resolve them on her own.

This is something I cannot allow, if today I fail for lack money to go to court, I will do so when I do get the money. Those who have built their houses on our registered lands will have to demolish them. No new law has effect on the land registered under the law this land is.

I can do so because I am not ignorant but there are many who are and can't afford to go to court and fight against the monies. Things would be worse for a political councillor than an administrative one who can at least execute his job without partiality.

And for the corrupt officers, I would love they were also replaced in favour of impartial officers who will do their jobs well and avoid much bloodshed rising due to land disputes.

The current law has in place many mechanisms to avoid land disputes if followed.

And I feel most of the corrupt practices so rampant in our nation today were resolved automatically during Kamuzu's era through the same laws a careful study of the laws and ways of governance could be of much benefit for integration of these laws into the current government system.

Making Google AppEngine Portable

Working without a computer has often forced me to depend on small portable tools enough to fit on my flash drive. It hasn't been difficult to carry around a wamp server and a good editor some reference files, even ruby on rails sdk.

It has been a little difficult to put a Google AppEngine on my flash. First the sdk could not install on a flash, it could not access or create applications hosted on the flash disk. As such, if I am developing on an offline computer, I have had to deploy the app through my mobiles 3G tether. I used more than K300 which I could use about less than half to deploy through a cafe.

But cafes most of the times don't allow installation of applications. So left me stranded for a while, to work anything Google AppEngine for its support would give such huddles.

Past few days, working with version 1.37, I decided to just copy the Google folder from the programs files and the python compiler and copied it to my flash drive basing on the reasoning that in its restriction to desktop only was based on common drive letter not fixed to c: since installations can be on other drives yet on the desktop. So copying as whole to the flash drive, I would fool it to think its still on the desktop. I tested it and found that it worked fine and tested it again at a cafe it worked but I had to reconfigure it so it could be aware of the python interpreter folder. All the same I found it worthwhile for deploying my apps.

It still needs to write to registry which could be fixed, I think. This would be probably the reason it seems to lose configuration is the change of drive letter of the flash when used on different PCs.

I wonder however if version recently released allows portability. It could be great to work with it with less huddles possible.

District Councillors

The Laws of Malawi have given a great chuck of responsibilities to the district councillor which most without understanding, have neglected the position and I should say we are at a dilemna to get back or these responsibilities which have match retarded development in the towns and districts.

While most of these responsibilities are seen as duplication of most of responsibilities in the district commissioners office, the presence of the councillor and the district commission was a benefit as they automatically checked corruption at district level.

Some have reasoned with the availability of MPs, it is again a duplication of political responsibilities, I somewhat agree and I feel it wouldn't be a good idea to make the position of the councillor a political position though the position is still much required.

The thought to make it political must have arisen at the thought that during the MCP era, the MP was elected into the party by the community in much the same way as the councillor. So on the turn of events into the multi party era, electing MPs through political parties it might have been thought the councillors be elected in the same way.

Looking at history at how the parties have sidelined other individuals not belonging to the party, it would be chaos at district/town level as the arrogance of the partisan councillor might highly disregard the roles of different departments in the district commissioners office which interface with the councillors. This will erode development at a faster rate than has been when the civil servants had almost no authority with the invasion of the partisan positions.

At low level like town or district level the partisan MP had less responsibility or authority over activities affecting individual citizens. With a partisan councillor, I fore see much disputes concerning land issues, much disregard for town and physical planning than has been already, much favoritism based on party membership.

I see the councillors office as an interface between the people and the district commissioner who is more like a government envoy in the district and the district commissioner the interface between the people through the councillor with the government. The district is much closer to the people to understanding their problems and the district commissioner much closer to the government to report, administer duties of the government in the district.

The difference therefore before the MP is the reprentative of the people on the issues of concern in parliament, while the councillor is an administrative position interfacing the people together with the district commissioner on issues of district administration.

I would therefore prefer an administrative non partisan councillor than a partisan one.

I have taken long to speak on the issue as I thought it would bring political confusion with the elections in advanced stage. But I have taken this chance while misappropriation of funds is being resolved for there is room for reconsideration for the position.

I believe instead of creating more political problems we are wise enough a nation to come with creative and fair ways to resolve our national issues without much influence or copying from the western or other forms of government.

Of Numerous Programming Languages in One Head

My Curriculum Vita is packed with many programming languages than most would ever expect. Is it just a claim to booster it or reality? In reply I should say those are languages I have successfully and productively used before. But it does not necessarily mean they are the only languages I know nor does it mean I can't use other new languages. How possible is that?

I started programming when I was in first year while we get started on computer science in second year at college.

Looking at already written working programs, I learned by trial and error experimenting with my own code. This wetted my appetite for programming and gave me ideas where to look and what to catch from the coarse work.

I studied about what great programmers wrote of their path to greatness I looked at the necessities of each module in the route map how I benefit from it.

As a programmer, I had to learn and understand my tool to the very core and all aspects of it. That included network engineering. Though networking was offered among the modules, there was not much practice allowed.  I should say my experience in the two Internet Service Provider has covered much of the required practice and more. I have practiced my knowledge and perfected it having learned from two great engineers Dr. Busiso Chisala and the brother Richard Chisala.

Most other modules become more important in implementing various algorithms and solutions to computing problems. So programming became to me not just knowing a language but the workings of a computer and various problem solving algorithms so that the primary thing becomes understanding a problem, and forming up a solution and finding away to implement it. Among ways of implementing is a programming language, chosen depending on various considerations and trade offs which include platform compatibility and also interoperability with other existing computing solutions to co-operate with the new implemented solution.

So knowing just a language becomes useless. So how do I jump into a new language and use it productively? Every language has a syntax and semantics. Understandind the similarities, differences, strengths and weakness of a new programming language has proved worthwhile for me.

So for one day Google Appengine was introduced. For the rest of the day I knew about the competition, I formed up a problem and its solution; for a few moments that evening wrote my own hello world; During the night searched up the framework documentation ways of implementing my solution. I was too tired to work that night. So I rested till morning. I did not even find time then for I had to get to Sunbird Capital Hotel as soon as I could so I couldn't miss a thing. At around 8am, I started the implementation while listening and participating to the activities of the day. I got a normal lunch, by 4:45pm I was done. But had to make a few final changes to make it look better after clothing it with the CSS. Broke a page in the process.

All the same the Application share a job won first prize. The original design with improvements is hosted at http://sharemwjobs.appspot.com.

The first public release still have some technical glitches but would hopefully be unveiled sooner.

While the final release is in process, I see no reason why people shouldn't use sharemwjobs.appspot.com to play around with it and even seriously share jobs for it has full functionality already.

So try it. Share jobs at http://sharemwjobs.appspot.com/

North Korea and Stuff

I am asked by friend on a statement I said against western media.

People of North Korea are running away from N. Korea en mass. Shall we blame western media for this?

Suppose the whole North Korea left North Korean land because of a war they don't want and nobody is listening to their voice to back them up. For western media is bent on seeing North Korea razed to the ground. Who wants to die.

North Korea has no nuclear weapons to defend it self, but it does have plutonium missiles. About 3 of them it seems, can it defend itself against a super power which repently developing other nuclear weapons(advanced it seems). The world does not understand that North Koreans are innocent of the nuclear weapons, are innocent of the missile that shelled the island. How can the world protect North Korea? For the world is brain washed by western media and know only that North Korea is secretive therefore not much should be expected to be heard from it. But North Korea, is speaking and its voice is small. The western media is louder and muffles the North Korean media.

Has not South Koreans accepted responsibility of the missile that shelled the island during a military exercise and killed people? Has not North Korea denied responsibility of the missile? Has not the west already justified an attack on North Korea and already found out that the secretive state has no nuclear weapons to be feared during the invasion?

Who will protect the people of North Korea? They are en mass running away from being innocently slaughtered by an angry western world. For Asia does not wish to get involved nor should it, Africa has to feed its own people and can't afford to waste its few it has also begged to do war against its unreasonable donor nor should it. It is a crime to slaughter innocent people. The same butcher is quick to punish others. Let it now slaughter itself for its murders.

En mass they should leave and let only the land maybe without life in it to suffer loss. Let the west allow all innocent women and children and soldiers who don't want war to leave North Korea. Let all innocent men also leave, let birds of the air animals that creep the ground of North Korea leave North Korea before North Korea is razed to the ground. Is it easy to make life than to destroy it?

Let the creator of life take care of his own life and let no-one destroy life created by somebody else. Let it alone. For whoever you are you too are created. Yet there is an enemy. He comes but to still kill and destroy.

Shall your hands be guilty of this innocent blood? For God will demand repayment for every tooth removed from an innocent man.

Arsenal 2 - 0 Spurs

That was what I had today during Arsenal and Tottenhum Hotspur game. It might be some caught it and the confidence it is fulfilled. I was excited as well. But the outcome did not tarry with the predicated result. What was it then? I remember confirming if I really had to put 2 for arsenal and for Tottenhum Hotspur to put Spurs. That's what they were being called on the radio anyway. So I put Spurs as I had confirmed.

The result was now written as Arsenal 2 - Spurs 0. The game ended Arsenal 2 - Spurs 3. I thought at the end of the game what could it be? Am I hearing from God? I waited and accepted my fault maybe it was wishful thinking.

But the words I had to confirm and yet that is how it seems to be. I checked my motivation, yes I did want to win. I could win as I see it I could also win as God desires.

What did I see in the end? Arsenal might have aimed for the goals they wanted. Tottenhum my have been prepared for anything. When Arsenal got their expected goals, they may have planned for a defensive game. Tottenhum might have anticipated this and might have been prepared to attack a defensive team. So anything unlike our interpretated expectation makes the prediction or prophesy false and we lose faith easily.

In their own strength Arsenal could have recovered from the unexpected change but after the half-time with little coaching, and already in a different game mindset it was difficult to recover. For in-game success, the supports act as spurs they incite or stimulate. For someone who is achieving less than his potential and is not encouraged, his performance dwindles more and more. I remember someone commenting Arsenal playing a brilliant game during first-half. But someone commented of an ever deteriorating performance in the second-half.

So here goes: Arsenal the Team won 2 goals. The spurs, the supporters won no goal. The goals they were supposed to win, were supposed to be in spurring (supporting the losing team). The defence they were supposed to give, was in supporting the losing team.

So indeed Arsenal 2 - Spurs 0.

Whenever you do good and work hard your success is your own. You benefit from it alone and those who find help from the help you give.

There are some that make want to make you look bad out of jealous. The break what you build and blame it on you. In the end there are some who do see your success. And these acknowledge. These are the ones who are for you than those that have found fault with you.

Understanding that you are not as bad as others want to make you look, can help you spur yourself on despite the noise from those filled with jealous because of your success.

Poor Service Provision

Connectivity in Malawi is plunged with so many problems from high costs, congestion, unreliability, etc.

Where do these problems come from and how can they be resolved?

Having done business planning, on costing, for one to make profit, they have to sell their products and services at a price higher than what cost they have put in. However, to maintain profit, if the cost increases the price automatically increases. Is there a way to lower down the price?

A careful understanding of what cost goes into communication media would better resolve what price the use of the media should be. Take for example the copper wire which formed the MTL backbone. It has high capacity but the cost of using it is too high. Maybe higher than Optic fibre. Is this realistic? For one the cost of material for installing the copper wire, is expected to be lower than the that of fibre, the cost of maintainance should be lower than that of fibre and I would expect copper wire to be more durable than fibre so frequency of breakdowns should be lower. This further reduces cost of maintainance for fibre. Because the fibre and copper are shared for many users the cost per user should be much much lower to each user.

The cost of installation should be in my opinion the most variable with one factor of maintainance cost for each media which should cover the difference between various media in terms of depreciation.

The cost of usage should be sorely related to cost of labor doing daily maintainance. For cost of labour is the most stable, it is expected the cost usage to be stable.

Since communication is the major determinant for prices of most goods it is expected that these prices would stabilize and be lower for the benefit of humanity.

What of congestion? Each provider wants to have as many clients as possible as such they put as many strategies to keep their customers for themselves. But does each providers provide what the user really needs? In my opinion, if you have 100 customers, you can invest to provide services for 100 users and still get profit on your investment. Similarly if you have 1000 users. While the perception of profit seems higher for 1000, in reality it isn't much of a difference, as the cost of providing 1000 increases therefore the price of service provision if maintained such that selling to 1000 users fixes the profit margin. Unless the cost for providing is cotmpromised should there be big difference in profits. Now compromising the costs directly amounts to poor services. Which in most cases amount to congestion, unreliability, etc. In the end only providers are happy non of the users are.

There restrictive strategies the service providers put on their customers further increases the costs the customers have to pay to user their services to their satisfaction. For customers have different needs not all of which are satisfied by the providers. It is better therefore that providers put away these restrictive measures for users to use services of their choices to their satisfaction without extra costs. And if a provider has to put restrictive measures then it should be bound to provide all the services the user wants and for the users satisfaction. This then should give less choice for the provider on what and how the service should be provided than for the user. For telecoms it also means removing the extra charge to another network. For the user will always have the need to communicate to someone on another network. And the user shouldn't do this at extra cost.

Different users have different connectivity uses. Restrictive strategies put users who use a less of the resources to a disadvantage than those who use a lot of resources. I.e. users who do a lot of downloads need a seperate connectivity service and users who user the connectivity for simple browsing and data communication. So the usage can be equated to providing quality service to 100 users and to 1000 users. There should be profit still due to the cost/price difference.

Of Mental Illness

Just last week Malawi News released an article on mental illness. The doctor is an expert seemingly, but this is the first hand account.

What is it? Is it a demon? Is it damage of the brain? Is it an infection? What is it?

I will try to explain its psychology, and touch on the physical and spiritual part of it.

St. John of God about whom the house of hospitality is was a person like you and me. His conversion to Christianity was very strong and dramatic in the society that people thought he had gone mad. They treated him like a mentally ill person. In this treatment he endured much pain and understood the pain these people go through. He started giving then shelter and food taking care of them. If St. John of God lived today he would rather want less patients hospitalized who come for first time but justified and would love those really needing care being treated humanly and with love. Not like animals. For these people too have feelings and experience a lot of heartache and to make it worse they added on all their emotional pain and physical abuse they get, from those who have not understood.

Of all the diseases in the world mental illness is not. For it seems nothing to do with infection or physical damage if it was it would have another name.

Yet it is and begins with emotional pain from emotional abuse. A very grave and acute accusation can bring one so low with guilt that he becomes incapacitated to do anything. His state of mind at this moment to understand why? He might stay as such for long that his behavior is noticed by other people as strange. When a word of a priest, a witch doctor or medical doctor declares it mental illness. All sorts of thoughts and fears come among the community and stigma follows from all the history that has accumulated who mentally ill people are.

The devil it is said is an accuser always accusing us before God but Jesus is always interceding for us before God.

Whenever we curse someone we allow the devil to abuse the person. Whenever we bless someone we deny the devil any action but allow God to resolve the problem.

In the state of accusations from men and / or the devil, these men do feel the guilt. And in their guilt and the dirt they feel inside manifests even in their action. I guess that is why they would rather eat the food from the dust bin than from the plate. They would rather have something dirty than something clean for it is the outward reflection of the guilty they feel and in doing so, an attempt.

At this point when one is labeled mentally ill and the society has registered it. It does not matter what was the cause of initial fear but what surrounds the person shapes the person's behavior and further reaction to society.

It now becomes a disease of a society in terms of emotions like fear from from the harsh treatment he has received on the basis of the label, violence (there is no place he is allowed to stay because of the label he is kicked this way and that) some people around him ridicule him and he has to defend himself, his kind of life becomes whenever I do this action I get peace of mind, whenever I do this, people give me food. Whenever I hold a stone in my hand and stretch the other people give me some money. He might have even the accidental event that brought this combination for begging that he even call the stone my lucky stone. And carries it wherever he goes for it brings him luck and the food to live another day. Is there violence in such a man?

I noticed that after such a long treatment by the society they get to lose the sense of what is right and what is wrong. This would be the reason why Jesus told the mad person he had healed, go and tell your people what God has done. For he has again to learn the ways of the society. This is a form of behavioral rehabilitation.

I have managed so far after overcoming the guilt and accusations to live with confidence among people. An article like written in Malawi News just recently presenting the mentally ill as time bombs can incite such a fear and hatred among the society for the mentally ill that makes life so difficult for them. I met one in such a person. The way he walked, he was in a state of such restlessness may be wondering why is this world suddenly harsh?

Whoever put such an article whatever was his motivation why not just come up to the one person you have a problem with than put so many other people in trouble. (I dreamed about it this day and there was a person who had a problem with me who decided to incite some trouble because of my refusal to associate myself with them). Does such not such a revelation come from God as warning about events of the day?

How do we deal with mental illness? The are cases in which accusing demons keep on following them around for society in cursing such people have given them room. In their own solitary moments they seek to find some truth that justifies the injustice and pain inflicted on them in most cases they dwindle down in self accusations. Because somehow God does not allow it their attempt to relieve themselves by killing themselves fails and they live another day. They survive from day to day pick some food and eat and move on find a shelter to sleep in. Sometimes, in their pain they get some relief from the flashes of interesting memories they have gone through. So yeah, they laugh when they are alone. It's only a relief from emotional pain.

Whenever you find them talking alone, there has been no ear to listen to the emotional hurts and pains from the unjustly harsh treatment they have received from the society.

In defining, which of the actions of the society was right and which was wrong, they to what extent were they wrong from the punishments received, they get relieved of their guilt and they get to understand which of those in the society were just bad and impossible. This justification of their actions shields and insulated them better of future emotional pains and abuses. For at list now they can justify themselves by the truth they have known about the further accusations and abuses. For further rehabilitation its necessarily love that completes the rehabilitation. The mad person benefited much from the peoples trust in Jesus that he really had been healed. It's up to the society to love such people. Jesus himself was called a nazarene and rastamen far the principles of the nazarene. This allows for a fewer of these mad men find love and acceptance in a society. The only mistake of the rasta men is in their understanding of Haile Selas as Jesus(messiah). As much there are messiahs from different oppressions Haile Selas could be categorically put among people like Moses who sets Israelites free from captivity. It is wrong to worship him for he like all other redeemers other than Jesus they are also just servants like also angels who carry messages of God to men. Only for Jesus has it been declared from God, that every knee shall bow and every toung confess that Jesus is Lord. For Jesus, it has been said the lamb of God that takes away our sins. No other root of David has such title. For end redemption is from sin and eternal damnation only this lamb of God, Jesus has been given a task of such messiahood. God has said of Him that we listen to Him. For he Jesus is the only begotten of God. He is the only one who came from God for the purpose of showing the way, the truth, and the light to salvation from sin and eternal damnation.

He give instructions of what is the right way. Among these instructions, he says, whoever does good for such as these does it for Jesus. Whoever does not do good for such as this does not do so for Jesus.

Love is the only cure of such an illness. It takes patience as well for having accustomed to pain and multiple betrayals, an act of love might take time to make a difference. If it is followed by the expected betrayal anyway it widens the gap wider. So when you give love with conditions, such love has many times caused pain already in their lives. When you give further rebuke, its the many rebukes that weighs them down already. So, just love and kindness is all they have been missing in all their lives. No more pain. Physical or Emotional. Just love and kindness.

God bless they that love such people.

Genesis 6

During this time. A torment of a soul is heart breaking. God looks down at His creation, souls of men tormented and abused by the fallen angels.

God tells Adam don't take this fruit you will die. Adam is deceived to still take it because the woman has already taken it. Should I let my woman die and live alone again? It is better that we both die together. So for her he eats it. He doesn't know the torment of this death but God does. I will try to take care of you my children even though you may still suffer more before the redemption comes.

They had to leave the garden of Eden to cultivate the ground. In cultivating their mind was at least calmed down for it was taken away from the fear of the unknown. And life was bearable. They lived in torment until each alive for a thousand years. Until it was prophesied one would come who would set us free from the curse of the ground.

Since livestock had been contaminated man even though at first had been given both meat and plants to eat, they now ate only plants.

The accounts up to Genesis 5, were written not in complete sequential order but in parallels to allow for explain different instances of events of particular interest. So Noah was born. And the sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth.

When God looked at the torment of the souls of men during this time. He was very sorry and saw it better to let the men die. And die and the Nephilim also.

During this time there must have been a beast that God particularly was interested to destroy. The falling of the rain would entangle it deep in the under the mad that when the land dries up, it would also bind this beast.

Meanwhile among men there is one man, Noah. Him God wants to preserve he has not yet been touched by the contamination of the fallen angels.

After the rain this beast is buried at a certain instant when Pereg was born, he divides this world breaking this beast apart. That is how this beast died.

In the pursuit of riches. There is an element which the world seems to be following and at sales at high price there are places it is found. The love money is the root of all evil. This evil thing which through astrologers followed in predicting stocks, at this one very moment there was a war and reports of war world over, this very thing had a very high price.

Those that pursued this wished to create the similar circumstance which because of the nuclear bombs, the world was destroyed (in my perception split in peaces) and I could feel the ground that the world wobbling. People running all over and there was much sinning around the place I was. People could just not control themselves.

It is difficult for me to differentiate which of the events which happened around me was the present or the future. Unless somebody confirms these events who was present with me during this time. But there were many things I observed and did in resolving issues around me.

This war in pursuit for nasquad predictions breaks the world in peaces and releases this evil of all evil bound around the time of Genesis 6. So stop!

Resolving Israel and Palestine

I remember reading a biography of Golda Mere once a female prime minister of Israel. It gives an account of how Israel was resettled after world war 2 Hitler persection. It was resolved to repatriate the Israeli to their land which was a British protectorate at the time.

Among the first zionist in the repatriation, was Golda Mere. It gives an account how the desert land was bought from the Arab and Palestine residents with deeds. How the desert land was reclaimed and made arable. We have also in our secondary schools examples of settlements which reclaimed land from desert lands. Kibutz. Or something like that.

When someone is in distress and left without home what's available to him becomes a home. Though useless to those who already have a home it is precious to him without. One takes very good care of what's precious to them even if the same may be useless to others.

The Israeli reclaimed a useless unhabitable land from the Arabs and Palestines who took it to themselves to sell it. They turned what was useless, precious. And Arabs and Palestine cry foul for losing what they considered useless. So the fight an innocent people and an innocent people fights back and claims more in 6 days. The rest of the resolution follows from the history from there which land rightly belongs to the Israeli and which land does not.

Daniel reminds God of the 70 years Jeremiah prophesied that the Israeli will return back to their land. In Jeremiah's account God tells Jeremiah to buy some land and store the deeds in earthen ware for preservation. Those who bought land on repatriation must have followed this and kept safe the deeds. These deeds give the Israeli the rightful and legal claim to the land that was bought. From my trust in God and understanding of his faithfulness and how he makes things easier, I think the land bought with deeds available should be enough for all the surviving (remnant?) Israeli to fit in.

So there is Palestine and Gaza strip. I think these lands are separated with Israel in between. These lands can't make one state and peace remain. Governing these lands would also be a problem. How can one leader run a land another land when shared resources have to go through an unwilling land. That I think is the major problem which should not be adamantly held on to. At very best Gaza strip can operate on its own as full state and Palestine the same. Yes they are of the same tribes but look we the ngoni's in Malawi are in separate regions and separate countries yet we commemorate our culture together. The chewa's the same. Some chewa's are from Zambia and Mozambique. Look at Swaziland an island of a nation yet peacefully coexisting. The Palestinians, Israelis and world have much to learn how we govern ourselves peacefully and respect our ways.

We have less problems than the world has yet the world forces its solutions on us which cause trouble than solve problems.
