Discussing some of the fascinating engineering that goes into overhead electric power transmission lines.

In the past, power generating plants were only able to serve their local areas. As power plants grew larger and further away from populated areas, the need for ways to efficiently move electricity over long distances has become more and more important. Stringing power lines across the landscape to connect cities to power plants may seem as simple as connecting an extension cord to an outlet, but the engineering behind these electric superhighways is more complicated and fascinating than you might think.

Slavery: The White Woman's Burden
White Women as Slave Owners

Today we're discussing Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers' work, They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South. This work delves deep into the realities of white female slave ownerships, demonstrating the ways in which white women leveraged competing systems of oppression, particularly race and gender, to attain power, status, and wealth.

Nima. Debora (Maman D), Spiritual Mother & adviser


⁣BANDZIS, NGANGAS, AND NIMAS. Bandzi is the name given to a person being initiated
into Bwiti, or who has already been initiated but does not really follow the tradition in their
daily life. In the initiation, the Bandzis will meet their kombo, the spiritual entity that accompanies them. When Bandzis integrate their kombo into their daily life, they become Ngangas. In Gabon, the Nganga is someone who is not only initiated in Bwiti but also practices
it daily. A Nganga is someone who applies the knowledge of Bwiti in their life, work, music,
and teachings. They are prophets, healers. It is the Nima, however, who has the knowledge
and authority to train and anoint Ngangas, and it is in Nimas that the gift of initiation and
knowledge of healing lies. The Nima is the spiritual leader of the village. Becoming a Nima,
or even a Nganga, is a lengthy process that can take several years of study and practice.
The process includes structured learning in several areas of traditional science, such as initiations, healings, natural pharmacopeia, and spiritual help to humanity. The role of a Nima
carries great responsibility. It is not only about knowing the physical and spiritual dimensions
of iboga but includes holding the knowledge and practices of healing plants, as well as the
process for becoming a traditional therapist.
You can’t initiate other people without knowing the elements. It is important because when you
do a consultation you have in front of you someone who comes with serious problems… If you
don’t know the herbs, the procedures, you’re not going to do a good detoxification treatment.
You can’t make the necessary leap. You can’t hunt the black snake and so on. When people
come with all these problems, you need to have learned how to solve them. [E4-Maman D_34:08]

Slave codes were a method of protecting the investment of white enslavers in the Colonies by restricting the lives of enslaved people in almost every imaginable way. The codes restricted enslaved people’s ability to move around, or engage in commerce that could make them financially independent - they restricted the very opportunities that would allow them to live with even relative freedom. Today, we'll learn about how Colonies put laws in place to restrict the movement and freedoms of both enslaved people and free Black people alike.

Explore how the US government hunted bison to near-extinction in the 1800s to force Native Americans onto reservations.

--

By the mid-1700s, many Plains nations survived on North America’s largest land mammals: bison. They ate its meat, made the hides into winter coats and blankets, and used the bones and horns for tools. But in the following decades, millions of bison would be deliberately slaughtered, threatening the survival of Plains societies. Andrew C. Isenberg shares what led to the animal's near-extinction.

Lesson by Andrew C. Isenberg, directed by Rémi Cans, Atypicalist.

A documentary on the Roman invasion of Nubia and the Kingdom of Kush (24 BC).
⁣In this history documentary we explore another one of the forgotten wars when the Roman army marched beyond the frontiers to explore parts unknown. However in order to contextualize this expedition we spend time exploring the ancient History of Egypt and the History of Nubia. We begin by looking at the geographic features of the Nile which influenced the development of the civilizations along its banks. Next we look at the intertwined development of both Egyptian and Nubian kingdoms over the eras. This covers the overlap of the Old Kingdom of Egypt, the Middle Kingdom of Egypt, and the New Kingdom of Egypt with the Kingdom of Kerma, the Kingdom of Napata, and the Kingdom of Meroe. Finally we discuss how the Roman Empire became involved in Egypt and African history. This began with Pompey and Caesar during their civil war. When Rome then chose to support the Ptolemaic rule of Cleopatra they then further became invovled. The queen would support Mark Antony in his civil war against Octavian but the eastern forces would ultimately lose at the Battle of Actium. Following this event, Octavian, now turned Augustus, would annex Egypt. Over the following decades, the emperor would embark on fresh conquests to win gold and glory. One was the Roman Invasion of Arabia and the other was the Roman invasion of Ethiopia. We covered the former in a previous video and spend the remainder of our time seeing how the conflict into Nubia would unfold. This involves a fascinating series of campaigns fought between Kandake Amanirenas and Gaius Petronius with armies of 30,000 and 10,000 respectively. Its a fascinating look into the African history that rarely gets covered.
