Dr. Chancellor Williams describes the process of acculturation, which Africans worldwide have been subjected to a "white mind transplant."

The result has some people of African ancestry looking on Africa with scorn. Dr. Williams goes on to describe the greatest victory of the white world as being the conquest of the Black man's mind.

The acculturation process tried to blot out the African's knowledge of self and create an illusion were all things African were savage. Any noble African tradition was to be dropped as pagan.

In this segment Oggi asks Dr Williams about the effect of drugs on the African liberation movement. Dr. Williams describes it as an organized deliberate effort to destroy the Black community...which ultimately failed.

How much can the informal marketplace teach you about the African economy? Knowledge Management Specialist, Charles Dhewa, threads the link between indigenous knowledge, with its application in the marketplace, and the development of solutions in tackling African challenges. In a talk filled with facts and anecdotes, Charles reminds us that "when we import knowledge at the expense of indigenous knowledge, our major loss is African identity”, and how not all skills can be learnt in a classroom if African countries are to build strong and thriving home-grown economies. Charles Dhewa is the CEO of Knowledge Transfer Africa, which he founded in 2006 after realising that agricultural value chain actors in developing countries needed a knowledge broker to keep reminding them of what they could be forgetting and under-estimating. Working at the intersection of formal and informal agricultural markets in Zimbabwe, his organisation has setup a fluid knowledge and information platform called MKambo which tracks, trends and ensures agricultural value chains are driven by knowledge, technology and innovation. Charles is always clarifying opportunities and influencing policy through his thought leadership blog ‘eMKambo’. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Introducing the book "Art of Research"

Baba Mkuu Mzee of the RAG interviews Dr. Tdka Maat Kilimanjaro. He introduces his latest of four 1000+ page volumes that covers the techniques of data analysis, research and statistics in full detail and that it gives you much more than a normal book is expected to provide. See what that means.
Also in the spirit of Ma'at and humility Dr. Kilimanjaro announces the revisions of four volumes to include new updated information by the Univ. Kmt Press Peer Review Team and the fine concerned individuals/friends of the Afrikan community. Release dates will be forthcoming.
This brings everything full circle for the University of Kmt Press and their highly praised library of works.
These two Elders chop it up again and almost one year later down in North Carolina they cover many other areas that concern the Afrikan Community.
This recent work "Art of Research" by Dr. Tdka Maat Kilimanjaro and the rest of the great Univ of KMT Press library can be found and purchased here:

Drop us an email at RaisingAwarenessGrp@gmail.com if you have any questions, concerns or comments. We look forward to hearing from you.

Our question to the Afrikan Community from this point forward will now be:
"What are you building?".

Kidnapper ants raid other ant species' colonies, abduct their young and take them back to their nest. When the enslaved babies grow up, the kidnappers trick them into serving their captors – hunting, cleaning the nest, even chewing up their food for them.

DEEP LOOK is a ultra-HD (4K) short video series created by KQED San Francisco and presented by PBS Digital Studios. See the unseen at the very edge of our visible world. Explore big scientific mysteries by going incredibly small.

A miniature drama is playing out on the forest floor in California’s preeminent mountain range, the Sierra Nevada, at this time of year. As the sun sets, look closely and you might see a stream of red ants frantically climbing over leaves and rocks.

They aren’t looking for food. They’re looking for other ants. They’re kidnappers.

“It’s hard to know who you're rooting for in this situation,” says Kelsey Scheckel, a graduate student at UC Berkeley who studies kidnapper ants. “You're just excited to be a bystander.”

On this late summer afternoon, Scheckel stares intently over the landscape at the Sagehen Creek Field Station, part of the University of California’s Natural Reserve System, near Truckee, California.“The first thing we do is try to find a colony with two very different-looking species cohabitating,” Scheckel says.

“That type of coexistence is pretty rare. As soon as we find that, we can get excited.”

--- How do ants communicate?
Ants mostly use their sense of smell to learn about the world around themselves and to recognize nestmates from intruders. They don’t have noses. Instead, they use their antennae to sense chemicals on surfaces and in the air. Ants’ antennae are porous like a kitchen sponge allowing chemicals to enter and activate receptors inside. You will often see ants tap each other with their antennae. That behavior, called antennation, helps them recognize nestmates who will share the same chemical nest signature.

---Can ants bite or sting?
Many ants will use their mandibles, or jaws, to defend themselves but that typically just feels like a pinch. Some ants have a stinger at the end of their abdomen that can deliver a venomous sting. While the type of venom can vary across species, many ants’ sting contains formic acid which causes a burning sensation. Some have special glands containing acid that can spray at attackers causing burning and alarming odors.
