    This book provides a very deep understanding of ancient Egyptian civilization. Absolutely, without a doubt worth the money. Filled in a lot of gaps after my recent trip across Egypt. Put everything I saw into the proper perspective. Must read to ‘ Know Thyself’

    This is the best reference book on ancient African philosophy I have ever read. This is truly a breakthrough book

    This book is essential for the student of Kemetyu history, culture, and science. It is arguably the most scholarly book on the subject of Classical African philosophy and science, particularly the connections between Kemet and other African civilizations. Though the author does not go as indepth into the esoteric aspects of Kemetyu philosophy, like Ra Un Nefer Amen, he does do it more justice in terms of scholarship and making African linkages; he also provides English translations, transliterations, and Medu Ntchr examples of the ancient texts. This book should be at the top of any neo-Kemetyus list.

    My son and I use Singapore Primary Math as homeschoolers and it is a great system. It gets right to it and doesnt waste time with too much busy work. They use multiple ways of teaching math concepts so it works for various learning styles. The pictures are simple, but effective. I find it relatively intuitive myself. The only issue we ever really seem to have is very occasionally we will encounter a bit of instruction in the book that doesnt quite seem to make sense to either of us. I suspect this is a translation issue and it is fairly infrequent. Singapore Math doesnt spend tons of time on each concept which may be an issue for some students who might need extra time to really get it. This is why they have extra books at each level for extra practice, so if you have a student who needs that extra work - dont despair. If you dont know where to start, their website has useful placement tests readily available. [...] I would most definitely recommend these books!

    It works better than the tuner in my TVs and this seems to be true among the TVs I have tried. There is also a USB port to insert a flash drive and record programs. It also plays them and an assortment of other file types. It wont play from my portable 4GB hard drive, but it will play from a flash drive. The flash drive was not recognized when I formatted it with exFAT, I had to try again with FAT32. This device can format a flash drive, but I used my laptop to format it. The quality of the recording is as good as the signal it receives, but I am technically behind the times with my newest TV being ten years old. I have not tried anything above 1080i if there is even a selection that has a greater resolution than that. My vision is failing, so it doesnt matter anyway. It is possible to make a selection from one of the menu items that can render the screen black. If you remember what you did, you can back out of that situation. Where I used to live, there was over a hundred channels although many were not desirable to me since I dont watch infomercials, buy things from the TV, speak Spanish or Korean. For clarification, you can watch one channel or record one channel at a time with this device. It can pass the antennas signal to your TV if the TV tuner works well enough. I had three of these recording programs while I watched a forth channel. This quickly got out of hand, because I dont watch much that much TV anyway or I would consider cable or satellite.

    Daktari Obenga has done our ancestors proud with his very detailed gatherings and translations of the sheer brilliance of the ancient Egyptians. Obenga has taken a methodological approach to uncovering the philosophy we most often attribute to the West as having its genesis in Egyptian philosophical thought. He shows how some have tried to discount Egyptian philosophy as little more than potions, sayings and the like. Moreover, a closer read of the Book of Coming Forth...(Book of the Dead, colloquial) demonstrates the depth of the thought process of our ancestors. If that was not enough, Obenga then goes on to show in his methodological process, the sophisticated medical procedures the ancient Egyptians (as well as black Africa) were capable of operating. In fact, he shows how the Greeks learned from the very methods used by the Egyptians (Papyrus Ebers). Finally, Obenga references several of the papyri in private collections, bought from merchants over the past few centuries, referencing the mathematical capabilities of ancient Egyptians. The Papyrus Rhind, is one in particular which details several problems from calculating the area of a circle in a square with 4 rectangular isosceles to the use of co-tangent to calculate the angles for pyramid building. Overall, a fascinating read. I am thoroughly impressed.

James Acaster"s Classic Scrapes:
James Acaster has been nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award five times and has appeared on prime-time TV shows like TASKMASTER, MOCK THE WEEK, LIVE AT THE APOLLO and WOULD I LIE TO YOU? But behind the fame and critical acclaim is a man perpetually getting into trouble. Whether it"s disappointing a skydiving instructor mid-flight, hiding from thugs in a bush wearing a bright red dress, or annoying the Kettering Board Games club, a didgeridoo-playing conspiracy theorist and some bemused Christians, James is always finding new ways to embarrass himself.Appearing on Josh Widdicombe"s radio show to recount these stories, the feature was christened "James Acaster"s classic scrapes". Here, in his first book, James recounts these tales (including never-before-heard stories) along with self-penned drawings, in all their glorious stupidity.

Perfect Sound Whatever:
PERFECT SOUND WHATEVER is a love letter to the healing power of music, and how one man"s obsessive quest saw him defeat the bullshit of one year with the beauty of another. Because that one man is James Acaster, it also includes tales of befouling himself in a Los Angeles steakhouse, stealing a cookie from Clint Eastwood, and giving drunk, unsolicited pep talks to urinating strangers.James Acaster wakes up heartbroken and alone in New York, his relationship over, a day of disastrous meetings leading him to wonder if comedy is really what he wants to be doing any more.
