SUMMARY The research looks and investigates on how to build a Zulu homestead and how to look after it. It looks firstly on how to move from an old homestead to a new homestead as well as the manner in which it is named. Chapter one looks at the research aims, limitations and research methods. The research gives a background on how the Zulus build their homesteads. Chapter two looks deeply on how to move from an old homestead to a new homestead according to Zulu custom. The head of the kraal invites a witch doctor to put his/her pegs called izikhonkwane at night as a protection against wizards and lightning. The research looks at how they perform it. The Zulu huts are a round-dome shaped structure made by sticking a row of saplings in a circular trench some six inches deep and about fifteen feet in diameter. The Zulu huts everywhere are built on the same plan ever disturbing the customary arrangement of huts. Chapter three concentrates on the naming of homesteads which reflect the innate’s desire for peace, good health, joy and happiness. The research looks at the Zulu customary activities that are performed during the naming of a Zulu homestead. Chapter four investigates the way in which a King’s palace is built and the difference between the King’s residence and an ordinary person’s residence. Chapter five is the investigation of the following livestock, cattle, goats, sheep, chicken and dogs. Moreover their importance in Zulu and places where they are kept at night. Chapter six deals with the way in which a homestead had a hedge around it, main gate and small gates. Chapter seven covers findings of the research, recommendations and conclusion.

Thoughts, memories or stories are stored as images in our minds. These images are a collection of realistic as well as unrealistic pictures. They help us to experience, to communicate, and to remember. A vehicle that implies a strongly visual image is architecture. With the new century, industrial architecture became an image for power, energy, and movement But today the once blooming manufacturing industry reached a stage of transition, it is dying out Our environment, our needs, and we are constantly changing. How does this transition affect our needs, or environment, and us? Does it mean, that our images change, too? And if so, will this change affect our experiences, memories, and our communication? This thesis explores the transition by observing and influencing a distinctive architectural setting. To talk, write, discuss about an image, we need to translate it into language. The metaphor for the connection of the industrial world and power, energy, and motion is the "Dynamic Face". / Department of Architecture

This report will seek to identify the various factors that both enable and impede colonias and non-border colonias from developing. What processes determine the improvement of conditions in informal homestead subdivisions? Upon completing a number of interviews and extensive research, the conclusion can be reached that the various issues in policy implementation experienced with border colonias can help to inform the development of improved policies that will benefit both border and non-border colonias. / text

In 2005 the Constitutional Court was faced with a challenge on the infringement of section 26 of the Constitution which provides for the right to housing, in sales in execution. The court had to determine whether selling a debtor's home for a trifling debt would be justifiable. However, the decision of the court brought about many questions if such a similar case was to be brought under insolvency law. The South African system provides little or no protection for debtors who may find themselves in a situation where they are unable to pay their debts and stand to lose their homes. The court provided guidelines that should be taken when a home of the debtor is to be sold thus preventing a blanket ban. The approach taken by the courts ensure that both the debtor and creditors interests are taken into account in order to reach a just and equitable decision. Many factors have to be considered such as interests of children, creditors and any other dependants in the case of one facing sequestration and the possibility of the home being sold. However, South African law does not provide for formal protection of the debtor's home unlike in other jurisdictions such as the United States of America and England. These jurisdictions have either provided for exemption or protection laws through legislation in which such laws provide for a debtor's fresh start. International human rights also have to be taken into account thus the need for updated legislation that conform to the values entrenched in the Constitution. The English system developed its legislation to provide for home protection through case law, a similar approach of which could be taken by South Africa to bring the insolvency law up to date. There is need for our insolvency legislation to provide for clearer guidelines that enable a debtor to have a fresh start in life at the same time ensuring that creditors' rights are not infringed on. The English system aims to provide for such balance as it provides for protection for a limited duration of time unless if the value of the home is of a low value then it is exempt. The South African courts have also considered the creditor's interests were the home is subject to security as there is re luctance on providing that such property be exempt or protected. The sanctity of a contract has to be honoured. / Dissertation (LLM)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Mercantile Law / unrestricted

When the pandemic hit, and grocery stores and other necessities started to shut down and create havoc amongst the general public, it became clear that having the ability to rely on a self-sufficient homestead might be the only way to survive and thrive. As a graduate student who has studied architecture and sustainability, this idea seems possible. As an average human with no prior architectural or homesteading knowledge, this idea is daunting. This thesis is asking, is there a systematic way to develop a tool to evaluate, and aid in the design of, a self-sustaining, off-grid homestead? Can this tool make homesteading and living a self-sufficient, off-grid lifestyle more attainable to any person who wishes to try it out? With these questions in mind, the Homestead Helper Handbook: A Guide to Help Start a Self-Sufficient, Off-Grid Homestead in New England from the Ground Up has been developed to offer a cohesive approach, detailing the components that could go into the makeup of the homestead. Suggestions regarding the site, livestock, crops, and built structures will be made based off of specific input values of the future homesteader, leaving the reader with a well-rounded, precise breakdown and understanding of what might go into the homestead, allowing it to successfully function off-grid and self-sufficiently. Thus, it makes the idea of living a self-sufficient and off-grid life in New England more attainable to any human who wishes to do so.

Making extensive use of oral interviews with the surviving children, this thesis is an biography of Oscar and Emma Swett and their children, who lived on a homestead in Greendale, Utah, (near Flaming Gorge Reservoir) from 1909 to 1970. The family is representative of a group of families who moved to Greendale and engaged in small-scale cattle ranching. The introduction of new technology changed their lifestyles and homestead economics, while simultaneously Greendale evolved from a rural agricultural environment to become part of a National Recreation Area.

Historians disagree on the reasons the Populist Movement and labor failed to achieve a political coalition. Some find the cause in a backward-looking Populist ideology that imagined solutions to the problems of rapid industrialization could be found in a yeoman republic. According to this view, rank-and-file Populists neither understood nor had sympathy with the problems facing workers in the mass industries of the late twentieth century. Others see Populism as a progressive movement that accepted industrialization but sought to bring it under government control so that its material advantages would benefit all citizens, especially the producer classes of farmers, laborers, and small businessmen. These historians blame the failure of a coalition to develop on the immaturity of the labor movement; it was not intellectually or organizationally advanced enough to appreciate Populists’ shared interests with workers or to accept their offer of a coalition. Richard Hofstadter and Oscar Handlin are key scholars in the first school; Lawrence Goodwyn and C. Vann Woodward are acknowledged spokespersons for the second. This study attempts to address the coalition issue by examining the responses of Populist and Republican newspapers to the Homestead Strike of 1892 and the Pullman Strike of 1894. These strikes were selected because both were notorious for their violence and bloodshed and both elicited armed government intervention on behalf of business. Newspapers were examined around the time of the strikes to gain a sense of local Populist sympathy with labor and of its commitment to a political coalition of farmers and workers. Populist response was compared to opinions expressed in Republican newspapers to determine if significant ideological differences existed between the Parties. Reviewing newspapers throughout the state and for events that occurred two years apart served as a check on regional and chronological variations. In all, over 400 newspaper editions were reviewed. The study’s findings solidly support to the perspective that depicts Populism as actively seeking a coalition based on a realistic understanding of labor’s position in an industrial economy. Universal editorial stances in favor of labor also advance the position that this was an authentic grass-roots expression and not simply a reflection of national leadership ideology. All Populist newspapers called for a political coalition of farmers and laborers. Populist response was markedly different than Republican. With a few exceptions, Republican newspapers took the side of capital. Further, this investigation revealed no evidence of desire to return to an imaginary yeomen republic in Populist newspapers. The study also examined the newspapers for instances of anti-Semitism and nativism associated with Homestead and Pullman. There was little evidence of either. While this might not be surprising with regard to anti-Semitism since the strikes did not revolve around issues of banking or credit, it is significant with regard to nativism. Anti-foreigner sentiment was often associated with strikes and with the importation of cheap, European labor. If nativism infected the Populist Movement, as is claimed by many historians who see it as a reactionary movement that practiced status politics, it should have been reflected in the pages of these newspapers. Its absence raises questions about negative conceptualizations of the Movement. / Thesis (M.A.)--Wichita State University, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Dept, of History.
