demonstration so with your fingers you would feel five senses remember the nubby nature of the lemon you would see how bright yellow it is the skin the actual outside the inside then I would ask you to bring it
In fact, the word Nubia-- the root, nu or nub , it means gold. So Nubia, more likely than not, means the land of gold. And now when you go to Sudan, there's people panning for gold everywhere literally.
But then you go farther and what you get is something that is just above the eyes. Little nubs above the eyes. Who can name them?
He does some mental gymnastics, which I won't get into here, although that's generally the thing people find interesting about him, but what's interesting to me is that once he establishes this tiny little nub of certainty, a kind of mental gymnastic exercise that says, "Well, I can trust my reason, I can trust my senses." Then he is able to erect this stable edifice of a worldview on it.
Now, a TPM is like that. It's a nub of stable certainty: if it's there, it can reliably inform you about your bootloader, and thus, your operating system, and thus, the processes running on your computer. Now, you may find it weird to hear someone like me talking warmly about TPMs.
So there's-- something factual about Sister Rosetta was that she was very close with her mother, Mother Bell, she called her. Katie Bell Nubin was her mother. And Mother Bell was very instrumental in Rosetta feeling and having the freedom
And this doctor is alone in the Nuba Mountains, and he is treating these people. And this Nuba Mountains is-- has everyone here been educated in the United States? Who hasn't been educated in the United States?
His latest work is the formation of the Save Nubia Project, Which aims to help preserve the archaeological sites of ancient Kush and Nubia in the Sudan, which are threatened by the construction of dams. Anything else that I was remiss in saying, Professor Ampim, I'm sure, will let you know.
That's really what I'm going to focus on today. And our Save Nubia Project-- I have a brochure I'll pass around, but this is the fruits of some of my research in Sudan, in Egypt, and Ethiopia where you have classical African civilizations now, maybe ancient Kush and Nubia, that are under threat.
Moreover, recent studies have found that, in fact, it's a wishbone shaped structure. It isn't just a visible nub on the exterior of the body. It goes down around the mouth of the vulva.
So I go back and look at this guy, and I read this story by Alex Perry that talks about this doctor. And this doctor is alone in the Nuba Mountains, and he is treating these people. And this Nuba Mountains is-- has everyone here been educated in the United States?
So Sudan is located in a country called Africa-- or a continent called Africa. But it's a contested-- Nuba Mountains is the contested area between Sudan, which is kind of North Sudan and South Sudan. And it's one of the most recent countries.
So there's this war going on between North Sudan, or Sudan, and South Sudan. They declare independence and the Nuba Mountains gets the raw of the deal. Because when they draw the lines, the Nuba Mountains have been fighting on the side of the south.
And the people are so resilient, they actually grab parts of the shrapnel and use them for farming tools. That's kind of how resilient the Nubans are. So part of this story that I read in "Time" was this young boy named Daniel was out tending his family's herd, and he heard the bomb come.
I'm like, I don't know what I'm going to do, or how I'm going do it, but I've got to do something. And this is where all the Nubans flee to.
And so we took the symbols from both things and mixed them together. We have fuzzy pillows and nubbly fabrics on our banquettes, handmade pottery, a lot of things that really were associated with the more rustic style of food.
But it's work. It's like I would work and it would spill over. It's got lots of nubile young women in it.
the gains not only are maintained but the patient continues to improve. In other words, if you'll excuse the bad long answer. The nub of the matter is speaking again about causes is that we
Literally, there's gold everywhere. In fact, the word Nubia-- the root, nu or nub , it means gold. So Nubia, more likely than not, means the land of gold.
And this guy I'm out to dinner with said, yeah, this guy's amazing. He's this doctor in Sudan in this area called the Nuba Mountains and blah, blah, blah. And we start talking, so I do what every self-respecting human being does at the end of an interesting night.
He also created a seven step primary research methodology home study course at advancing the research. His latest work is the formation of the Save Nubia Project, Which aims to help preserve the archaeological sites of ancient Kush and Nubia in the Sudan, which are threatened by the construction of dams.
And I"m going to peel off the outer layer. And what I want to do is I want to leave the nub on because you want to make sure that you leave something to hold the onion together when you're going to be grating it.
in the dressing room and I forgot about some realities like time uh the Summer of Love was not called The Summer of Love for nothing and gravity the nubile body would start to Sag and reality because the dance was getting a
They declare independence and the Nuba Mountains gets the raw of the deal. Because when they draw the lines, the Nuba Mountains have been fighting on the side of the south. But when they're in the negotiation table, they said, oh, let's just move that line this way.
And Sudan got screwed. Or I'm sorry, the Nuba Mountains got screwed. They got put in essentially the camp, or the country, that they had been fighting.
I'm like, I don't know what I'm going to do, or how I'm going do it, but I've got to do something. And Yida is a refugee camps that's very close to the border of the Nuba Mountains and South Sudan.
It has a mild ginger flavor to it. And you want to peel off the skin, cut it into a small nub like this. Put it in the mortar.
And I'll squint and I'll look from different angles, and it's inevitably a false alarm. in a baseball cap, until you get to that little nub on the top and the book's sort of ending there.
Human rights and property rights both demand that computers not be designed for remote control by corporations or governments. Owners be allowed to specify their OS and the programs running on them to freely choose that nub of certainty in the void that allows them to build their whole stable edifice of certainty on. Now, remember that security is relative.
The glaciers grew into ice sheets. And that helped drive the temperature of the entire world to be much cooler. Now, this was a long-term trend then that continued to happen for many tens of millions have a tail at all. They just have a little nubbin of bone. It's called the pica style. If you roast a chicken on your Thanksgiving turkey, you might see this, this little thing that's often called
We can see this happening in East Africa, where the Nubian and Somalian plates started pulling apart about 25 million years ago.
and I'm going to circle around, sometimes you miss a little nubbin on the bottom, but I nailed it.
And our Save Nubia Project-- I have a brochure I'll pass around, but this is the fruits of some of my research in Sudan, in Egypt, and Ethiopia where you have classical African civilizations now, maybe ancient Kush and Nubia, that are under threat. But since we don't have a lot of time, I'll just will move forward.
But a lot of my work on classical Africa has been in Northeast African corridor. And so the three classical African civilizations are Kush, Nubia, and Kemet. People know Kemet as Egypt.
the gains not only are maintained but the patient continues to improve. In other words, if you'll excuse the bad the damage uh that it's that uh it was doing in the first place. The the nub of the matter and forgive me for such a
was a normal leg, but then after the molting after 43 days, it came back as a little small nub .
But they were both in the same preschool a couple years ago, and this comes out of that experience, and I think that's the nub of where I'm coming from,
to someone's computer without actually having them download that stream of bits, like the internet is made of mirrors and speaking tubes. We say "Stream", we mean "I think that your receiving software doesn't have a 'save as' button." Now, if you get to choose the nub from which the scaffold dangles, you get control and power to secure yourself against people who attack your interests.
power to secure yourself against people who attack your interests. If the Recording Industry Association of America, or the government, or Monsanto get to choose the nub , then they get control and the power to secure themselves against you. So we all agree that at the very least, owners should control what runs on their computers, or I'll ask you to stipulate that.
and colonialism in history that went all back Thio, Shango Bone. Or that the player which was astronomical observatory or to ancient Egypt and Nubia. And and so I
My lady, he said, plucking at cuffs so voluminous that they draped into his suit, I understand that your nubile daughters are not yet wed.
level. So if you explain, on average, men prefer to mate with nubile, fertile women more so than post-menopausal women, someone will put up their hands and say,
Yeah I just learned how to use a concealer brush, you guys are probably thinking, she's such a nube.
None. So if you go back to the diagram previously about little, small nubbin of purely conscious thought, but it's
