Study More Effectively Utilizing “The Feynman Technique” (Video)

The world is overflowing with information. It’s impossible to learn deeply about everything.

So, that’s what the narrator is saying in the first part of this instructional video. Hmmm… not making me feel better about this training session I have to get ready to run soon… and I bet a LOT of students getting ready for finals will not be comforted by the ‘impossibility’ of deep learning about a LOT of stuff (especially given a limited time to do it, like by FINALS, in a couple of weeks)!

But hang on, true believers. The technique described in the video above outlines a process that makes sense. I’m banking on it to work (because I have some training to do for a gig VERY soon). It might help you, as a student of life, or some student you know who is facing finals soon.

Note: It is NOT magic. This involves discipline and hard work! But isn’t that always the path to true mastery?

So, click play, get insight on the Feynman Technique, and let’s get it!

Speech: Minister Louis Farrakhan’s Address To The United States of America And His Message To President Trump (Video)

The Nation of Islam streamed this address by Minister Louis Farrakhan – his message directly to President Donald J. Trump and the U.S. government – on Thursday, November 16, from the historic Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. (assuredly a very purposefully chosen site for the event).

Since the election of President Trump, a myriad of social and political issues and questions about America’s leadership in the world and leadership at home have arisen. Minister Farrakhan’s message will address issues of importance regarding America’s domestic challenges, her place on the world stage and her future.

Cover Story: Watch The Cyntoia Brown Documentary And Learn About How Her Story Has Gone Viral (Video)

Have you heard, or been following, the #FreeCyntoiaBrown movement? Cyntoia Brown has already been in prison for well over a decade, convicted of murder as a teen. The story has recently resurfaced and gone viral. Gotten the attention of celebs like Rihanna, and Kim Kardashian (see what she tweeted after the jump) has said she has reached out to her lawyers to see what she could do to help.

Embedded above is a documentary on Cyntoia. Watch. Watch NOW. They are snatching copies of the documentary offline with the quickness (took digging to find this one). At least the PBS Independent Lens trailer (after the jump) should remain stable, since it has been since 2011. Matter of fact, eff that: going in after the jump and posting all the clips PBS left up. Maybe PBS will re-release the documentary itself in full. This story should be known, told and retold. Tragedy begets more tragedy. You (me, we). Must. LEARN!

Also, you can also become better versed in the various details of the case and campaign to get Cyntoia Brown freed via the links below.

(More backstory and catch-up content after the jump, including clips from Roland S. Martin on TV One and Big Tigger on Atlanta’s V-103 radio.)

Exclusively showing on Tidal.

Shots Fired, Then Returned! Killa Cam & Murder Ma$e Go At It, Releasing “The Oracle” And “Dinner Time” Diss Tracks

Woo hoo hoooo sh!t!! Shots fired, by both sides, over the weekend, over some beef that has been simmering for quite some time. Okay, get “The Program” (FREE here), because like the old guy at the ballgame yells, you can’t tell what’s going on without a “Program.”

And it’s not a game; it’s true. The first track, “It’s Killa,” on that FREE Cam’ron mixtape was the straw that rubbed Ma$e the wrongest way on this hayride. A couple of lines in that joint tell of a time when Ma$e was in danger and Cam bailed him out: He sent some of his goons in the area to deal with the danger and Ma$e got home safe. Grateful, but apparently not grateful enough, Ma$e’s offer of remuneration was met with indignation from Cam.

Then Ma$e called, said “Yo, I’m stuck inside some b!tches house”
Her boyfriend at the door, could I hurry up and get him out
Aight, what’s the address? Homie said “Kingsbridge”
That was great I had some n!ggas right on Bainbridge
Yeah, we play but believe it ain’t no game kid
Hopped off the elevator, aimed it at that lame lid
I ain’t give a damn, yeah Cam I was gung-ho
Got this n!gga home and he passed me a hundo ($100 dollars?!)
Told him straight up I ain’t feeling him
Let me curve this n!gga ‘fore I end up killing him
Cam’ron, from “It’s Killa” (as transcribed by Genius Lyrics)

Cam went on with, “I would make 80k on a lazy day.” And the dissing goes on from there. Yeah. Plenty of shade with no shadow! BEEF! In broad daylight, signified by bonafide unmistakable digs. And the streetz being the streetz, they watched… and talked. But they’ve been “talking” for decades about this sh!t. It all just recently came to a head when folks pressed Ma$e about it as he was trying to enjoy the Thanksgiving Day parade with his family (as documented by Genius.com)…

It took me about an hour. I went in the studio on Thanksgiving. I went to the parade with my family and I was like, “Nah I can’t.” I don’t know if it was Hello Kitty or Charlie Brown or one of them, I just said: “Nah, he can’t do that.”

Somebody asked me about it at the parade and I was with my kids, but that’s New York for you. So I put them on a plane, sent them back home and then was like “Daddy’s gonna handle this.”

And in the crucible of the studio booth, the fire burned and Ma$e came out that caustic sh!t like this (damn)!!

Much dirt as I got on you, don’t even need no research
My hand filthy, heart guilty, n!ggas like me need church
Tax know you as the nigga that snitched on the Roc
D.C. crips only know you the nigga they shot
OG n!ggas don’t have no history with you on the block
And everybody seen the footage I got
Every since 10 you was a thirsty nigga
I ain’t gone talk about the time you f**ked your sister
In 2002 you lost 50 pounds, ulcers in your liver
And now you tryna sell n!ggas liquor, N!GGA
You always play the sucker part
Where was all that Rico sh!t when you left Jim in Rucker Park?
Ma$e, from “The Oracle” (as transcribed by Genius Lyrics)

And now, we are at WAR!! The hotshot from Killa Cam’s ‘gram shows NO love (above). To be fair, here are the recent diss tracks from both – “The Oracle” and “Dinner Time” in order of release (below).

Wow. Just wow. More after the jump.

How Long Would It Take To Dig To The Center Of The Earth? (Video)

Know how when folks in The States would say something referencing ‘digging their way to China?’ Bet cash money this video blows their mind about how long (and improbable) a ‘trip’ like that would be.

If we were to journey to the center of the Earth, it would take a lot longer than you might expect. Here’s how deep humans have dug underground.

African Men Being Sold Into Slavery In 2017 (Video)

Big strong boys for farm work… 400… 700…
You are watching an auction of human beings.

Holy sh!t. That ache in your gut is probably not as profound as it would have been a century ago, or if you were actually being auctioned, but it SHOULD NOT BE THERE AT ALL! Just like this slave trade going on today. It should not be going on, in Libya, or ANYWHERE!

Smugglers in Libya are auctioning migrants off as slaves. At a property outside Tripoli, CNN’s Nima Elbagir witnessed a dozen men go under the hammer in the space of minutes.

The Cast Of Netflix’s “She’s Gotta Have It” Speak On Sex-Positivity, Aspects Of Relationships And Spike Lee (Video)

Interesting talk. VERRRRY interesting. Actually started out thinking that the folks on here would downplay the sexual aspects of this Netflix series based on the Spike Lee joint. And while they don’t get pornographic, the convo is ‘graphic’ enough to keep you engaged to learn about how this series addresses poly-amorous relationships, pan-sexuality, love & relationships, friendships, characters & the canon (the characters, the original film & director, etc.)

Def gotta check this out!

(Yoooo, there was a comment on the Tube on this that was like, “Pan-sexual: if she’s good with a pan, then we can get sexual.” Bwaaahahaaa!)

Ta-Nehisi Coates with no malice or attempt at ‘points scored’… but this is a plain and simple explanation of why the n-word is “NOT” when it comes to White people speaking the word.

Context is key.

Dee-1 Speaks On His New Album, His Career & Life Thus Far, And Kills It On The “Five Fingers Of Death” Challenge (Video)

Sway started off by saying, “God is great.” Truth! And Dee-1, on that mic, not too shabby. Gotta recognize that. If not now, after you watch dude SNAP on the “Five Fingers Of Death” freestyle segment of this interview, you will!

But don’t skip past the interview. Compelling content. Dee-1 talks about how a male executive ‘tried him’ (e.g. tried to make him do sexual favors). Now that is way past Industry Rule #4080 sh!t there.

Good to see Dee-1 make it through. Still standing. On God, and His Word.

Salute!
