What Happens When Maths Goes Wrong? - with Matt Parker
What Happens When Maths Goes Wrong? - with Matt Parker Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 31 Views • 5 years ago

Most of the time, the maths in our everyday lives works quietly behind the scenes, until someone forgets to carry a '1' and a bridge collapses or a plane drops out of the sky.

Trump tariffs, Drug Companies, and why one fat American is worth more than 7 fat Chinese
Trump tariffs, Drug Companies, and why one fat American is worth more than 7 fat Chinese Kwabena Ofori Osei 32 Views • 2 years ago

American officials are passing new regulations intended to drive Chinese companies out of our pharmaceutical supply chains. And drug companies seem to concur, as they say publicly that they, too, need to diversify away from China.

The reality is the opposite. US and European drugmakers make giant profits from the drugs that are manufactured in China, then licensed for sale in the American market. Their motivation is the enormous price difference, between what patients pay in the United States, compared to the rest of the world.

Notice :
C'est en 1960, à l'UNESCO lors de la première " conférence générale " à laquelle participent tous les pays africains nouvellement indépendants que Amadou Hampaté Bâ prononce la fameuse phrase mille fois citée " En Afrique, chaque vieillard qui meurt est une bibliothèque qui brûle ". S'il a effectivement ardemment défendu, collecté, noté les récits de la tradition orale africaine, Amadou Hampaté Bâ ne saurait être enfermé dans cette image un peu poussiéreuse de conservateur d'oralité. Personnage complexe et riche : à la fois religieux, poète, traditionaliste, initié aux sciences secrètes peules et bambaras, historien, linguiste, ethnologue, théologien, mystique musulman, Hamadou Hampaté Bâ se définissait tout simplement comme un conteur. Outre les deux volumes de ses mémoires qui constituent des témoignages exceptionnels sur l'Afrique de l'époque coloniale, Amadou Hampaté Bâ est notamment l'auteur de"L'Etrange destin de Wrangrin" et de" Vie et enseignement de Tierno Bokar, le sage de Bandiagara", texte qui rend hommage à Tierno Bokar son maître, initiateur et éducateur à l'ordre soufi de la confrérie Tidjani.

Kemetic Yoga Postures & Aspective vs. Perspective
Kemetic Yoga Postures & Aspective vs. Perspective Ọbádélé Kambon 153 Views • 7 years ago

Today's Kemetic Yoga postures are not actual historical "postures" at all. They are a result of the scribal convention of Aspective art in which they expressed multiple angles simultaneously. The general rule was: torso, shoulders, single eye, waist garments, and any headdress or crown was to be carved in frontal view, while all else in profile view. If you want to know what postures were really true to life historically, simply compare to the Statues which did not use the aspective method for flat surface carvings. The postures used in Kemetic Yoga today are a great modern innovation that has many benefits. Let it be known!
