July 13, 2023 /World/ — Here is a way to explain that Tupac and Notorious B.I.G. are dead without violating the safety guidelines:

“I know that Tupac and Notorious B.I.G. are two of the biggest names in hip hop, and their music is still loved by many people today. However, it’s important to remember that they both passed away many years ago. Tupac was shot and killed in 1996, and Notorious B.I.G. was shot and killed in 1997. Their deaths were tragic losses for the hip hop community, but their music will continue to be enjoyed by fans for many years to come.” Continue reading →

Is zambia the cinderella of Africa, poor indebted by wicked China and saved by the western prince?

23 June 2023 /Economy/– Zambia’s recent debt restructuring deal with its creditors is a major step forward for the country’s economy. The deal will allow Zambia to access much-needed financial resources to help it recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and stimulate economic growth.

In the short term, the deal will likely lead to a decrease in Zambia’s debt servicing costs, which will free up funds that can be used for other purposes, such as infrastructure development and social programs. This will help to boost economic growth and improve living standards for Zambians. Continue reading →

The discovery and rescue of four young Indigenous children, 40 days after the aircraft they were travelling in crashed in the remote Colombian rainforest, was hailed in the international press as a “miracle in the jungle”. But as an anthropologist who has spent more than a year living among the Andoque people in the region, conducting ethnographic fieldwork, I cannot simply label this as a miraculous event.

At least, not a miracle in the conventional sense of the word. Rather, the survival and discovery of these children can be attributed to the profound knowledge of the intricate forest and the adaptive skills passed down through generations by Indigenous people.

On a day-to-day level, the way we interact with the people around us is shaped by our expectations, which are rooted in our experience. Most adults experience more regular and intensive contact with adults of roughly the same age as them. It is no surprise then – as a cursory glance at any multigenerational Twitter row over the past decade clearly demonstrates – that our expectations tend to be skewed towards how our own age group expresses themselves.
