Anubis, Ancient Egyptian God of Embalming and the DeadCaroline Seawright
Anubis (Inpew, Yinepu, Anpu) was an ancient Egyptian god of the underworld who guided and protected the spirits of the dead. He was known as the 'Lord of the Hallowed Land' - the necropolis - and Khentamentiu, 'Foremost of the Westerners' - the Land of the Dead was thought to be to the west, where the Egyptians buried their dead. (Khentamentiu was the name of a previous canine deity who was superseded by Anubis.) The worship of Anubis was an ancient one - it was probably even older than the worship of Osiris. In the pyramid texts of Unas, his role was already very clear - he was associated with the Eye of Horus and he was already thought to be the guide of the dead in the afterlife, showing them the way to Osiris. In these text, according to E. A. Wallis Budge, it says that "Unas standeth with the Spirits, get thee onwards, Anubis, into Amenti, onwards, onwards to Osiris."

Hanging could right the wrongs I did them both. (lines

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

3. THE
DOVE
The dove has been a symbol of peace and
innocence for thousands of years in many different
cultures. In ancient Greek mythology it was a
symbol of love and the renewal of life. In ancient
Japan a dove carrying a sword symbolised the end
of war.
4. THE
DOVE
There was a tradition in Europe that if a dove flew
around a house where someone was dying then their
soul would be at peace. And there are legends which
say that the devil can turn himself into any bird except
for a dove. In Christian art, the dove was used to
symbolise the Holy Ghost and was often painted
above Christ's head.
5. THE
DOVE
But it was Pablo Picasso who made the dove a
modern symbol of peace when he used it on a poster
for the World Peace Congress in 1949.
6. THE
RAINBOW
The rainbow is another ancient and universal
symbol, often representing the connection between
human beings and their gods. In Greek mythology it
was associated with Iris, the goddess who brought
messages from the gods on Mount Olympus.
7. THE
RAINBOW
In Scandinavian mythology the rainbow was a bridge
between the gods and the earth. In the Bible a
rainbow showed Noah that the Biblical flood was
finally over, and that God had forgiven his people.
8. THE
RAINBOW
In the Chinese tradition, the rainbow is a common
symbol for marriage because the colours represent
the union of yin and yang. Nowadays the rainbow is
used by many popular movements for peace and the
environment, representing the possibility of a better
world in the future and promising sunshine after the
rain.
9. MISTLETO
E
This plant was sacred in many cultures, generally
representing peace and love. Most people know of
the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe at
Christmas time, which probably comes from
Scandinavian mythology. The goddess Freya's son
was killed by an arrow made of mistletoe, so, in
honour of him, she declared that it would always be a
symbol of peace. It was often hung in doorways as a
sign of friendship.
10. MISTLETO
E
The ancient Druids believed that hanging mistletoe in
your doorway protected you from evil spirits. Tribes
would stop fighting for a period of time if they found a
tree with mistletoe. But you will never see mistletoe in
a Christian church - it is banned because of its
associations with pagan religion and superstition.
12. THE OLIVE
BRANCH
In Greek mythology, the goddess Athena gave the
olive tree to the people of Athens, who showed their
gratitude by naming the city after her. But no one
knows for sure when or why it began to symbolise
peace.
13. THE OLIVE
BRANCH
There is probably a connection with ancient Greece.
Wars between states were suspended during the
Olympic Games, and the winners were given crowns
of olive branches. The symbolism may come from the
fact that the olive tree takes a long time to produce
fruit, so olives could only be cultivated successfully in
long periods of peace. Whatever the history, the olive
branch is a part of many modern flags symbolising
peace and unity.
15. THE
ANKH
The ankh is an ancient symbol which was adopted
by the hippie movement in the 1960s to represent
peace and love.
16. THE
ANKH
It was found in many Asian cultures, but is generally
associated with ancient Egypt. It represented life and
immortality. Egyptians were buried with an ankh, so
that they could continue to live in the 'afterworld'. The
symbol was also found along the sides of the Nile,
which gave life to the people. They believed that the
ankh could control the flow of the river and make
sure that there was always enough water.
17. It could keep evil spirits away. It explains how a city got its name.
It is a Christian symbol of
forgiveness.
It is also a symbol for marriage.
It is associated with Pablo Picasso. It is never seen in Christian
churches.
It is often seen in paintings of Christ. It is often seen on flags.
