    Ex: This scheme aims for a more helpful order than the major schemes, by following the groupings of subjects as they are taught in schools.

    Ex: An annotation is a note added to the title and/or other bibliographic information concerning a document, by way of comment or explanation.
    Ex: Taking the second situation for the purpose of illustration, there are four options for choice of title.
    Ex: Inevitably any abridgement poses the dilemma how to abridge, that is, what to leave out and what to include.
    Ex: Further, these indexers are probably so familiar with their subject area that, they whether in the guise of indexer or searcher, will profit little from any additional guides to relationships.
    Ex: Just as Ivan finds that by taking pleasure in an extra piece of food he makes survival possible and beats Stalin and his jailors at heir own game.
    Ex: Thus, the computer-held term record files are most suitable for applications like Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI) systems.
    Ex: Such a concept came as a great surprise to many information educators who rather dismissively regarded the information qua information field of activity as being too limited.
    Ex: More studies are needed to identify the full temporal effects of the personal computer, much as they did for television.

    Ex: The author considers the possibility of a shift from libraries to personal information service along the lines of the shift that has occured from public to private transport.
    Ex: Strange that so helpful and charming a person in his capacity as a librarian could behave so monstrously; but behave thus he did.
    Ex: Indicative abstracts abound in phrases such as 'is discussed' or 'has been surveyed', but do not record the outcome of the discussion or survey.
    Ex: It's kind of like trumping in public -- You simply do not do it!.

  • 9 Iroko:

    Ceiba. Ceiba pentandra (Lin). (Gaertn). Arbol silvestre de la familia de las Bombacáceas. Árbol sacratísimo entre africanos, chinos y cubanos. Dada la imbricación de pueblos, culturas, lenguas y mitos que desde hace más de cuatro y medio siqlos se viene produciendo en Cuba, y en América, ha resultado que en muchos asuntos, el folklorista, el etnólogo, el antropólogo, el sociólogo y el musicógrafo, encuéntranse con noticias de un mismo objeto o asunto, que son de muy distintos orígenes, las cuales forman un complejísimo cuerpo intelectual que en su día, talentos como los del Dr. Fernando Ortiz, podrán estudiar y explicar. Nosotros nos limitamos a recoger, poner algún orden e informar. Este es el caso de las noticias respecto a la Ceiba, informada por la Srta. Lydia Cabrera, alumna del Dr. Ortiz y meritísima floklorista. Son muchos los nombres que en Cuba le damos a la Ceiba. Es el propio orísha Iroko o Iroke de los lucumis oyó; Lóke dicen los dajomeyanos, señalando a un santo viejo, esposo de Abomán y hermano de la llamada Ondó. Otros nombres para la Ceiba son Iggi Olorun o Arbol de Dios, Arabbá, Eluwere y Asabá. Esto es sin mencionar los que recibe entre los bantús o congos, así como en otras culturas africanas de asiento en Cuba. Iroko es la propia Oddúa, diosa del infrarnundo de los espíritus o muertos. Vive en la parte superior del follaje a donde concurren todos los muertos. Como que Oddúa es el Obatalá de los lucumís oyó, resulta que el Obatalá llamado Agguémo Yéme es Iroko, por lo que se le sacrifican pollos blancos todos los meses, y cual si fuera otá, se hablá con la propia Obatalá en cualquier Ceiba. Quizás por eso sea que se diga que la Ceiba es tronco o bastón de Olofi. Los ararás, como los lucumís oyó, representaron en la Ceiba, llamado Aremú. También señalan que en la Ceiba están Yémmu y Babá, Náná Dádda, Awuru, Maggalá y el Changó arará mayor, llamado Gebioso. Entre los oríchas que se nombran como los que están o van a la Ceiba, señalamos a todos los Changó, y Aggayú Solá (el Brazo Fuerte). Por otra parte, se dice que la Ceiba o Iggi Olorún se le llama Iroko así que está consagrada, pero no faltan quienes aseguran que todas las Ceibas son benditas y sagradas por Olofi, sin más. En cuanto a la pertenencia, se dice que aunque en ella están todos los orichas y muertos, pertenece al Santísimo Poder de Dios, a la Virgen María, a la Purísima Concepción que protege a las parturientas en su tronco, a Obatalá o Virgen de las Mercedes, a Oricha oko, a Oggún, a Aggayú, a Changó, Obbá, a Obanlá o Virgen Purísima... No hay dudas de que Iroko es un oricha al que como a Aggayú se le sacrifican toretes que no hayan padreado, los cuales son paseados alrededor de su tronco por los santeros que llevan velas encendidas; mientras le están sacrificando gallos, gallinas, patos de la Florida y guanajos blancos. Es una preciosa ceremonia en el campo abierto que se traga los rezos como tierra reseca bebe agua; al final, el ceremonial asciende hasta el mismo cielo, vertiendo la sangre caliente del torete degollado en la tierra donde se agarran las salientes raíces del Gigante Dios. Aquella ceremonia de reconocimiento, atención, sumisión y petición, había principiado con una sencilla reunión en la que un Santero Mayor invocó a Iroko, según es la costumbre centenaria en el ilé Ocha, diciendo: Terewama Iroko. Iroko, fumi arere.Terewama Iroko, Arere iyágguó. Los rezos con oriaté, y coro de hombres y mujeres, rompieron cuando los obínú, salidos del coco seco roto, anunciaron en sus cuatro masas blanquísimas, el alafia húmedo del agua bendita de sus entrañas; el choro chorochó mezclado en el otawe de las broncíneas caras, espejea las maniobras de los sacrificios menores, hasta que asciende el dramatismo en el degüello del malú para culminar en la danza y toque a Iroko, donde se ve un bastón cubierto de preciosos collares en colores haciendo juego con una escoba adornada de cuentas rojas de Changó y blancas de Obatalá. Bastón y Escoba representan dioses que bailan con los omóchas hasta el frenesí de la posesión corpórea de los orichas, que se personifican así, para dar muestras de que han participado y están conformes en la alegría de sus hijos, que nada malo hacen en buscar la felicidad con un modo religioso que los ajusta.
