We speak to Andrew Muhammad of West Side Young Leaders Academy & Davis J Williams of Manhood Academy Global - 2 Black men who have a tracked record in instill productive values of Manhood in Black boys!

It has almost become unpopular to talk about what it means to be a man, to deal with the concept of Manhood. You’ve got to deal with it.
About this event.

WE ARE BLACK MEN!

“It has almost become unpopular to talk about what it means to be a man, to deal with the concept of Manhood. You’ve got to deal with it. You can’t get around it.” – Nana Amos Wilson

“Affirming Black Manhood” attempts to contribute to the process of Black man taking back the power to define, develop & project what it means to be a Black Man. Our facilitators approach Black Manhood from varying perspectives, with an emphasis on promoting the values, principles & ideals that represent the best of who we be... And need to become.

We will engage a series of workshops on various aspects of Black Manhood, including space for general discussion. Our special guest facilitators are all Black Afrikan Men with a proven track record of sustained work with Black Men; addressing issues pertaining to Black Manhood!

We feature:

BABA MWALIMU BARUTI • DEFINING PRINCIPLES OF BLACK MANHOOD

ROBIN WALKER • THE ECONOMICS OF BLACK MANHOOD

IFAYOMI GRANT • CHALLENGING MISOGYNY: REBUILDING AFRIKAN MANHOOD

BRO. LDR. MBANDAKA • BLACK MANHOOD, FATHERHOOD & RITES OF PASSAGE

BABA BUNTU • THE POWER OF BLACK BROTHERHOOD

Backyard Aquaponics Farming Fresh Fish and Vegetables | PARAGRAPHIC
Backyard Aquaponics Farming Fresh Fish and Vegetables | PARAGRAPHIC Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 21 Views • 5 years ago

Aquaponics combines two growing methods, aquaculture and hydroponics, to create a self-contained, well-balanced ecosystem. Fish are fed and raised in a tank and as gravity pulls the wastewater through a hydroponic garden, bacteria feed on the waste, breaking it down into essential nutrients for the plants to grow. The system then returns the cleaned water back to the fish reservoir so the process can begin again.

In this episode, Charles Collins shares his backyard aquaponic and hydroponic gardens where he's able to grow tilapia, leafy greens, peppers, herbs and so much more, all in the suburban desert. Together we grow!

ABOUT PARAGRAPHIC

A story is more than a title. We are a small team of independent filmmakers focused on emerging interests. We love exploring the wide landscape of these enthusiast communities through personal stories from their most passionate creators. The underdog, the obsessed, the misunderstood, the ones who have committed everything to their craft. For them it's more than a hobby; it's a way of life.

From garage bakeries and gourmet mushrooms to vertical farming and worm composting, these stories will elevate your understanding and deepen your appreciation.

Look beyond the impression.

Travel Deep Inside a Leaf - Annotated Version | California Academy of Sciences

Transcript of closed captions:

0:05: We are approaching a redwood tree. To animate a scientifically accurate leaf, artists studied the texture of a redwood leaf specimen on a glass slide at high resolution. They even counted the stomata, and used that exact count for this film!

0:25: These leaves would be measured on a centimeter scale. Throughout the animation, we will gradually zoom in to smaller scales.

0:40: As we approach a single stoma, we are now on a millimeter scale.

0:48: As we enter the interior of the leaf, we see many individual palisade cells. These cells are where photosynthesis takes place; they are translucent to allow sunlight to enter.

1:00: As we approach a single palisade cell, we’ll zoom down to the micrometer scale. The shapes inside the cell are organelles: the bright globules at the bottom are the Golgi apparatus; the yellow spotted tubes are endoplasmic reticulum studded with ribosomes.

1:09: That large, blue membrane surrounds the nucleus; the purple blobs are mitochondria.

1:18: The faint, yellow, spider-web structure of the cytoskeleton provides structure and support to the cell.

1:24: You are about to enter a chloroplast; inside you see flat, pancake-like membranous structures called thylakoids. This is where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place to produce ATP, the cell’s energy carrier molecule. way


1:38: The time scale has changed: the molecules are shown moving 1 million times slower than in real life!

1:42: As we near an individual thylakoid, the animation scale continues to shrink down to the molecular level, where things are measured in nanometers.


1:52: The green and blue bush-like structures are photosystems: clusters of proteins that absorb light energy from the sun and help convert it into the chemical energy that’s stored in the bonds of the energy carrier molecule called ATP.

2:03: The yellow-green, rotating structure is an enzyme called ATP synthase. This molecular machine facilitates the flow of protons down their concentration gradient from one side of the thylakoid membrane to the other, using the energy released in the process to assemble ATP.

2:16: The pulses of light in the thylakoid membrane in which the photosystems are embedded represent energized electrons being passed from one photosystem to another, passing along the energy which will be stored in the bonds of ATP (the classic “bucket brigade”).

2:26: The small “wigglies” are ATP molecules. Living things store energy in the bonds of the ATP molecules and then use that energy to conduct all the processes of life.

This animation is a model, and has its strengths and limitations. In order to model something well, visual artists have to make decisions about what to represent and how best to do so. What’s present in this model, and what’s intentionally missing or altered? Find out by visiting
