ScienceDailyHow many languages can you learn at the same time? -- Ghanaian babies grow up speaking two to six languagesAfrica is a multilingual continent and many adults speak several languages fluently. An empirical study by a psycholinguist now shows that the roots of this multilingualism can be found in infancy: In Ghana, most babies grow up multilingually, with most of them coming into contact with two to six languages and just as many regular speakers of each language. The researchers also showed that the babies heard some languages primarily indirectly -- i.e. via radio, television or background conversations -- while other languages were used by their caregivers to directly communicate with them.

Pottery by Osa

Being a potter means drawing from a vocabulary of tried-and-true forms: mugs, teapots, bowls, pitchers, etc. However, these archetypal forms have European & Asian origins.

I thought it would be interesting to everyone & affirming to other Black ceramicists to reference #African forms in contemporary tableware. The combining of European, Asian and African ceramics traditions goes back to mid-20th century, but that history is omitted from US #ceramic education. See #alttext for details. #pottery

A small jug with a spout, made to reference the iconic form of Nupe storage vessels from Nigeria. The jug is spherical and voluminous at the bottom, narrow at the neck and flares out into a cup shape at the top. It is heavily decorated with carved geometric patterns, painted with orange clay slip from Tennessee, variegated brown clay slip from Lake Ontario and bright chartreuse green glazed accents.
A large storage vessels from the Nupe culture of Nigeria, 20th century. It is dark brown and mostly unglazed except for a few bands of shiny, vitrified slip that have flaked off over the years. It has the same proportions referenced in the piece Osa made, with similar carved geometric patterning. This vessel however does not include a spout and is too large to lift and pour. It was probably mainly used for storage of liquids, grains, seeds, etc.

‘We have to become self-reliant’:
#African #scientists respond to dramatic U.S. aid cuts

#Lagos, #Nigeria—For many African researchers and health officials, the past 6 weeks have been nothing short of shocking. The freeze on U.S. foreign aid, followed by the 25 February announcement that #Trump’s administration had terminated 90% of all awards from the #USAID, have caused #outrage and #despair around the continent.

If these guys displayed such obnoxious behaviour in a civilized #egalitarian #African #huntergatherer society, they would be taken down mercilessly with #laughter and merriment -- almost always by older #women.

If they continued to throw their weight about with obnoxious #dominant #male behaviour, they would be taken OUT. Certainly in the Kalahari that could be done by a child with a poisoned arrow. Most likely by a bunch of hunters doing it together.

But if these guys had grown up in such a society, it's extremely unlikely they'd behave like such assholes. For tens and hundreds of thousands of years, women simply selected against obnoxious male dominance.

It is only a recent historic aberration in the life of our species, and most normal human beings know it.

Early Modern Diplomacy

Cape Verde's small population considered “white” was in turn divided into Portuguese-born officials and into those born locally, who the metropolitan #Portuguese derisively referred to as brancos da terra, and degredados, soldiers and civilians exiled for criminal or political reasons. The latter categories could include those of black #African and mixed descent, since in the Lusophone world “whiteness” was determined by political and economic power and by the ability to exhibit European cultural markers. Next to these “whites” there was a group of often mixed-race pardos, both free and enslaved. The lowest category, pretos, was made up of blacks who could be enslaved or freed, converts to Christianity and born on the islands or from numerous societies in western #Africa. By the end of the 17th c. at the latest, the Cape Verde islands had developed a distinct Creole identity. (2/7)

#china (#americas biggest competitor) has also covertly captured majority of #african villages for covert #mining activities, where the governors dont know what is happening, and their heads of states are busy embezzling money.
Its a shame - 89% of the #World's most important and rare #Nature given #resources there and yet they live on handouts
