Roman Rule in North Africa (146 BCE - 395 CE)
A map illustrating the scope and organization of the Roman provinces in North Africa. Since the establishment of the first Roman territory on the continent (roughly corresponding to modern Tunisia) in 146 BCE following the destruction of Carthage in the Third Punic War, Rome had expanded its rule into (what is today) the Maghreb, turning the North African provinces into one of the most productive and wealthy landscapes of the Mediterranean and the ancient world in general.
Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and the Netherworld
Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and the Netherworld is a Sumerian poem pre-dating The Epic of Gilgamesh and featuring its central characters. It is sometimes included in modern-day translations as Book 12 but is usually omitted as it does not fit the narrative form of the epic’s storyline. It is famous for its depiction of souls in the afterlife.
Men who are unhappy, like men who sleep badly, are always proud of the fact.

Utility companies are making massive profits while 20% of Americans are behind on their utility bills. Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss on The Young Turks. Watch TYT LIVE on weekdays 6-8 pm ET. http://youtube.com/theyoungturks/live Read more HERE: https://www.commondreams.org/news/2022/12/13/corporate-greed-its-worst-top-us-utility-giants-reap-14-billion-profits-households “With colder winter weather looming, a new analysis released Tuesday shows that the nine largest energy utility companies in the U.S. raked in nearly $14 billion in combined profits during the first three quarters of this year—and dished out roughly $11 billion to their wealthy shareholders—as tens of millions of U.S. households struggled to pay their utility bills due to soaring costs. The watchdog group Accountable.US found that NextEra Energy, Duke Energy, Southern Company, Dominion Energy, Constellation Energy, Eversource Energy, Entergy Corporation, DTE Energy, and CMS Energy Corporation brought in $13.8 billion in the first nine months of this fiscal year. The firms, the nine largest in the U.S. by market capitalization, returned over $11.2 billion to shareholders during that period in the form of dividends and stock buybacks. “It is clear corporate greed continues to be a primary driver of high costs on everything from groceries to heating bills.” The utility giants’ massive profits have come at a cost to U.S. households, roughly 20 million of which are behind on their utility payments as providers continue to raise rates across the U.S., pushing home energy costs to unaffordable levels and prompting warnings of a “tsunami of shutoffs.” *** The largest online progressive news show in the world.
