The Birth of Modern Botswana
Home News & Blogs Botswana The Birth of Modern Botswana
In this video, Oliver Coulson from Safari Consultants gives an introduction to the recent history of Botswana, from the days of The British Empire, to independence in 1965, and beyond. At the end of the video, Sir Alan Haselhurst M.P. (Chairman of the UK Commonwealth Parliamentary Association) shares his thoughts on Botswana's successes, and the country's relationship to The Commonwealth. To watch the full interview, click here.
In 1885 Great Britain made Bechuanaland (modern day Botswana) a protectorate of the British Empire. This happened at the height of the scramble for control of African territory by European powers that had intensified after the Berlin Conference of 1884, where the continent had effectively been divided between European countries with imperial ambitions.
Bechuanaland was strategically placed between the German colony of South-West Africa and the Boer Transvaal territory to the East. With the Germans and Boers representing a potentially serious rivalry to British interests, Britain hoped that by controlling Bechuanaland, these two unfriendly territories would be prevented from uniting and inhibiting British dominance of Southern and Eastern Africa.
Bechuanaland enjoyed a relatively peaceful existence right into the mid-20th century. By the 1950's, the 'winds of change' were blowing at gale-force across British territories in Africa and demands for independence were growing.
But who would lead a new, independent Botswana? Born in 1921, Seretse Khama was the grandson of Khama III – the king who had applied to make Bechuanaland a British protectorate. With his royal and political lineage, Seretse Khama was seemingly an ideally placed candidate to take the reins of the new country. In the 1940's however, an international romance rocked the foundations of regimes across continents and saw Khama banished thousands of miles from his home country, powerless to influence politics in any way.
While he was in London, Seretse Khama fell in love with a white English woman; a Women's Auxiliary Air-force ambulance driver called Ruth. Their marriage in 1948 threw Britain and the whole of Southern Africa into political turmoil.
Inter-racial marriages were banned under the Apartheid government in South Africa, and every Machiavellian machination imaginable was pitted against Khama and his wife, to prevent them from becoming involved with the politics of Botswana.
Eventually however, times changed, Botswana gained independence and Khama was elected president in 1965.
Recently, I asked Sir Alan Haselhurst M.P., Chairman of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, for his thoughts on Botswana's progress since independence
(interview excerpt follows).
OC "Thinking specifically about Botswana, in what ways do you think that the country has benefitted from embracing some of the core values of the Commonwealth?"
AH "Well I think it largely has. I think it probably stands above many of its neighbors within the continent of Africa."
OC "There's a lot of hope in Botswana isn't there? It's had a great economic history in modern times, it's grown faster than many of the other African nations."
AH "It has quite a respectable increase in GDP, there's no doubt about that."
OC "And stable governance through democracy…"
AH "Yes, although there's not been any actual change of government. I think this is always one of the maturing features of a democracy, as to at which point someone completely different comes in with a bloodless democratic change of power."
OC "Rather than dynastic rule, for want of a better term?"
AH "Yes, I think that those that have led the campaign for independence in many of the countries in Africa and beyond, cling on because they feel they are owed respect from their peoples because they were the ones who fought the hardest and most prominently for independence, but that doesn't necessarily lead, forever, to a healthy democratic structure. But stability is very important. Stability is important for the people, stability is important for foreign investment, and for the confidence which people have in the systems which apply in any country, and I think that Botswana has a very respectable record in that respect."

Where's Conan? And Other Failed Children's Books
Michael Swaim ·
Conan O'Brien is six foot four, weighs roughly the same as a Cornish game hen (uncooked), Has hair the shape of a baguette and, as he has mentioned occasionally on his show:
Pale Force Episode 5 w/Conan O'brien on FunnyOrDie.com
Is extremely pale. Stalking him is a little like trying to find Osama Bin Laden: It sounds really easy, and yet no one seems to be doing it. TILL NOW. Yes, for over a year a priest has been stalking Conan O'Brien. I'm assuming it took this long to arrest him because police could not be dissuaded from the idea that this was a merely a filler bit on O'Brien's program before he threw it to commercials. Preperation H Raymond; The Raccoon With a Jetpack; The Stalking Priest. You've got to admit, it's not that easy to identify the odd one out. The guy sent O'Brien a series of increasingly threatening letters (a la Eminem's "
Stan," but without any follow-through) and was finally arrested by NBC security after trying to attend tapings of the show. Apparently Roman Catholics love the masturbating bear. It reminds me of when the Pope called that day of mourning after Andy Richter left. In his letters, Father Ajemian says he's been stalking Conan since they went to Harvard together 25 years ago. What foresight! The guy I stalked in College is a mechanic now.
Booooring! Ajemian calls himself Conan's "most dangerous fan" and makes vague, movie-related threats about shooting and/or kidnapping him. Watch it padre. I'm a Conan fan, and I've killed a man with his own hair. Can you say the same? Apparently, Father Ajemian has also stalked John McEnroe and Faye Dunaway, and during an interview about his legal trouble vis a vis O'Brien, stated "I'd like to meet Paul Simon." Rule number one Ajemian: FOCUS. If you want to be taken seriously in the stalking world, pick an object of affection and stick wit it. You've already got the practice; after all, being a priest is basically just stalking God. Translate those skills to O'Brien, and try to keep from being distracted anytime an aging rocker releases a new album or a fading pro athlete makes a comeback. You might just make it yet. Or, you know, get put in an insane asylum.

NYC's Waterline Square Tops Out With Towers by Meier, Viñoly and KPF
by Tessa Forde
© Jonathan Morefield
At one of the last remaining waterfront sites in Manhattan, the topping out of a luxury, five-acre, three tower mega-structure dubbed Waterline Square marks the end of a 25-year process for the 77-acre Riverside South Master Plan. Each of the three towers has been conceptualized by a different architect, with One Waterline Square by Richard Meier & Partners Architects, Two Waterline Square by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) and Three Waterline Square by Viñoly Architects. The towers were developed concurrently, but each reflects the vision of its architect, contributing to a harmonious complex while still remaining distinct.
The project, located between West 59th and West 61st Streets on Riverside Drive, is to begin closings in late 2018 and will complete the historic transformation of Riverside Boulevard which has occurred over two decades along the Hudson River. The topping out was celebrated on site last week. James Linsley, President of GID Development Group said of the event:

It has been an amazing journey seeing this historic project come to fruition. With all three buildings being constructed simultaneously, Waterline Square will offer its residents a new and complete neighborhood that is unlike any other in New York City, and we're thrilled with the pace of construction.
Surrounded by extensive landscaped parkland, including tree-lined groves, walking paths, a playground and water features, the towers offer 263 condominiums, on or above the twentieth floor of each building. The array of 1-5 bedrooms homes whose interiors have been designed by Champalimaud Design, Yabu Pushelberg, and Groves & Co, will boast a variety of hand-picked materials, custom vanities and cabinetry and large windows to take in the incredible views down the river.
The towers will be supported by The Waterline Club - 100,000 square feet of best-in-class sports, leisure, and lifestyle amenities. An experiential food market run by the Cipriani family will see a variety of restaurants, casual outlets and a market as part of the complex. The executive architect on the project is Hill + West Architects.
The topping out of the towers marks a significant milestone in the project as well as in the reshaping of New York's famous skyline.

Stephen Downes' introductory blog posting for the second week of the Critical Literacies Online Course ( CritLit2010 ) deals mainly with how we describe change, and in fact it would (with some minor edits) be the basis of a good motivational piece for the introduction to a calculus course.
This prompts me to make a suggestion that may well lead to howls of protest. Namely that not only should calculus remain as the mathematical topic through which all mathematics students must pass, but that it should in fact be considered as a Critical Literacy for everyone – without which no person can be considered to be properly, or even minimally, educated.
Certainly there are even mathematicians who would disagree. Many feel that various kinds of discrete mathematics are more appropriate to a digital age, others favour geometry and the study of symmetry as motivation for group theory and abstract algebra, and so on. All of these do have value, and it might well be argued that a survey of all areas of mathematics is also something that everyone should have some exposure to. But actually I believe that none of them is critical, and that while a global appreciation of mathematics is as important to a well-rounded education as an appreciation of literature or art, none of these is in fact a fundamental component of basic functional literacy. Calculus, on the other hand, is crucial.
To what? To having any capacity for understanding the questions, let alone the answers, to any of the key problems facing our survival as a species. All of these key problems have to do with rates of change – whether it is economic, environmental, or political.
Many who have struggled with calculus may think that it was just a bunch of abstract formulas and procedures that couldn't possibly be useful, and in one part of this they are right. Memorizing the formulas and procedures is not useful. This has nothing to do with the fact that computers can now do that work for us, and in fact it has always been true. Anyone who understands how change works doesn't actually need the "Product Rule", and the same applies to almost everything else students think they need to memorize. Calculus is not these things and never has been. What it is is the language we need for describing the various kinds of change that Stephen is talking about – and for understanding the long term consequences of different kinds of change patterns.
Without a commonly understood language of change, political debate about things like energy supply and global warming is pointless. And that language is calculus.
I actually think that a "baseline of distrust" is appropriate, but that social harmony often demands that the level of distrust not be fully expressed. This phenomenon (of people taking offense at any hesitation to accept their assertions and beliefs uncritically) is presumably related to the importance of trust in building a social network but ironically we appear to have evolved a need to be trusted that exceeds our need to be trust-worthy.
One of the puzzles of life as a mathematician is how proud many people are of their incompetence in the discipline, but perhaps it really is a social advantage – after all the one who can claim to have "never been any good at math" is less likely to bring the threat of unequivocal exposure of error which all of us in the field have to live with (and suffer repeatedly), but which most others would rather, it seems, avoid by various kinds of waffling, ambiguity, and evasion.
Perhaps the same psychology motivates those who accuse the so-called "new atheists" of stridency and belligerence where I only see bluntness (and perhaps admittedly a bit of smugness as well).
In my comment to Jason's post, I suggest that "perhaps the key in such cases is not to deny the validity of a proposed conclusion, but just to provide enough feedback to allow the proponent to re-consider".

Degrassi: 8 Couples That Hurt The Show (And 8 That Saved It)
by Gregory Thompson
– on May 01, 2018
Degrassi: The Next Generation came out of Canada and ran for 14 seasons. When the show hit season 10, the network renamed it to the simpler Degrassi. It's the fourth incarnation of the Degrassi franchise and has the same format as the previous three televisions series. Anyone familiar with the Degrassi name already knows what to expect: a show about teen problems dialed up to 11. This ensemble group of teenagers attend the Degrassi Community School.
With over 380 episodes, Degrassi contained heaps of characters. Some started out as recurring or guest characters before joining the cast full time. Some characters have been on the show for many seasons as the main cast, only to be written off the show and return in a later season in a guest role.
Having so many characters creates an opportunity to formulate a near-infinite number of relationships. If one doesn't work, a character (through the writer of course) has options for another character to start a relationship with.
That also means couples have a chance to harm or improve the atmosphere of the show, to receive harsh criticism or high praise, to confuse or delight fans. There have been plenty of couples on Degrassi, but the visibility of some has been more apparent than others because they were so important to the season or story arc, they forged positive or negative views on Degrassi.
Here's 8 Couples That Hurt The Show (And 8 That Saved It).
16 Hurt: Peter & Emma
Emma meets Peter first at a local swimming pool but doesn't know who he is. Later, she learns he attends Degrassi.
After she introduces herself to Peter, Emma is invited to a party by Peter (along with Manny.) Emma has an immediate and deep crush on Peter, but at the party, Manny was seen disappearing into a secluded room. Emma confronts Manny about this, but Manny is adamant nothing is going on. Then inappropriate video of Manny surfaces, and Emma discovers Peter was the one who took the footage.
In the relationship, Peter was basically a tool.
Peter was first interested in Manny and decided to e-mail the video as revenge when she rejected him. When Peter learns Emma's crush for him still exists, he attempts to apologize and even tells Emma she's a "major catch."
Right away, Peter has low morals and poor decision-making and a subtle misogynistic attitude towards Emma. In later episodes, Peter planned to spike punch at a party, got his car illegally modified, and lied about his knowledge of Sean's substance use.
How did Emma hurt the show with this relationship? She kept giving Peter a pass with each indiscretion, allowing the typical and contrived behavior to continue in episode after episode. The writers could have done much better with these two.
15 Saved: Paige & Alex
Although they met in the fourth season, Paige and Alex hated each other at first. They couldn't stand the sight of one another, usually getting into yelling catfights when in the same room.
Paige wrecked her boyfriend's car, which forced Paige to get a job to pay off the damage. Paige obtained a job at a movie theater working right next to Alex. Over time, the two girls became friends, and after kissing, they started dating.
The first kiss between Paige and Alex initiated a couple that saved the show and probably kept fans around. It made Paige question herself, but the relationship that blossomed showed that you can become friends with an enemy and quite possibly even afall in love.
The show did a great job of slowly deepening the friendship between the two before they engaged in a loving relationship.
This slow build-up gave the couple the tools to have a wonderful foundation. They did break-up in season 5 because Alex didn't want to be Paige's "lapdog," meaning she didn't want to be told how to plan her life after high school. But they got back together until season 7, when Alex permanently broke up with Paige because their career plans were on different paths.
14 Hurt: Owen & Anya
The first time Owen shows interest in Anya, he makes the situation awkward and uncomfortable for her. Not the best way to show a girl you like them.
In the 10th season, Owen kept touching her arm and flirting with her. Anya informed Owen she would never like him or be with him like that. On Anya's 18 birthday, she had her heart broken and for one reason or another, she wound up with Owen. There were plenty of hurdles between them, like their major differences in personalities. Anya's addiction and failing to get into college put additional strain on them as a couple.
Owen was not the greatest person.
He started their relationship by blackmailing her into a date and facilitating her bad judgment when they were together.
He vocally disapproved of her addiction and helped Anya train for the Army, but that's the most good that came from them as a couple. How their relationship started and how he treated it after Anya left for the Army showed viewers how not to care for a significant other.
While there was no official on-screen breakup, after Anya joined the Army, Owen did tweet he was single, saying, "Yeah, I'm single, but you're gonna have to be amazing to change that…"
13 Saved: Spinner & Darcy
Spinner and Darcy first meet in the season 4 episode, "Anywhere I Lay My Head", and start hanging out more when Darcy brings him to a religious group she's a member of, the Friendship Club.
Although the two dated off and on through season 5, they tried to maintain a successful relationship twice. Eventually, they do break up for good when Spinner can't take it that Darcy keeps showing inappropriate photos of herself online when he asked her to stop.
One thing we learned with this couple is that, despite the opposite tropes the writers gave them, Spinner and Darcy had compatible values.
Spinner was the typical bad-boy, while Darcy was the goody two-shoes. Darcy had been brainwashed into believing she'd lose Spinner if she didn't take the next step with him. She almost did but admitted to Spinner what had happened. Spinner stands up for her by fighting Jay - the one who convinced Darcy.
At another point, Darcy didn't agree with what the leader of the Friendship Club was promoting but supported the right to the Club's free speech, and Spinner backed Darcy up.
They didn't have a tumultuous relationship by any means, which is why they have been able to remain good friends.
12 Hurt: Craig & Manny
One of the more toxic relationships in Degrassi, Craig and Manny's decision to make three attempts to be a couple severely hurt the show. The problem wasn't just that they got together, but the reasons the relationship started and ended in the first place.
They had a date in the second season but didn't commit to a full romantic relationship until sometime in the third season.
That relationship started in the third season because of an affair. Craig was seeing Ashley Kerwin at the time but lied to Manny. He had said his relationship with Ashely was done. Craig and Manny consummated their feelings, and Manny became pregnant that night because of confusion on using protection. Their relationship was reignited and subsequently ended in the same episode, "Accidents Will Happen", after Craig didn't thing Manny should have terminated her pregnancy,
With a third attempt at love, Craig and Manny almost lasted a full season, but in season 6, Craig found using illegal substances more important than Manny and broke up with her.
Craig and Manny's relationship almost gives the okay to cheat on a significant other to find love elsewhere.
That's what hurt the show; hopefully fans and viewers didn't use this relationship as a model for their own.
11 Saved: Eli & Clare
One of the longest-running couples in Degrassi is easily Eli and Clare. Clare had some major love interests besides Eli, and Eli had his tragic past with Julia.
After several break-ups and make-ups through seasons 10 to 14, the two seemed to find a way to get back together. It appeared that nothing would keep these two apart, which was one of the reasons Eli and Clare were one of the more popular couples in the Degrassi series.
Eli and Clare helped save the show because they were always there for each other, no matter what either one went through.
For example, Clare's cancer, the passing of their best friend Adam Torres, Clare's pregnancy, and much more. Near the end of the series, Clare and Eli began a long-distance relationship, which started in the episode "Finally", that would last until they were able to go to university together.
"Eclare" is one of the few couples that achieved "Endgame Status." That means they were a couple that is assumed to still be together when either a) the show ended or b) one or both characters have left the series.
10 Hurt: Spinner & Emma
Emma was involved in another relationship that hurt the Degrassi show."Spemma" was a strange couple that makes it seem like the writers wanted them to get together but didn't know how to do it.
Curious about how Spinner and Emma managed to become a couple? Well, you'd have to wait almost 10 years before anything surfaced between them. Not only did they never flirt, but they barely hung out or talked on Degrassi. So what happened? One night at a casino with Manny and Jay, Spinner and Emma impulsively got married. Both were drunk.
After Spinner and Emma realized they were madly in love with each other, it hurt the show because it was never really explained why they suddenly had deep feelings for one another.
They stayed married despite having no backstory or history. If the writers and producers to wanted them to be the only characters from the first season to get married, then they accomplished that goal. And if you thought their marriage wouldn't last, you're in for a surprise: the Degrassi reunion episode shows that they are still together. They're presumably still as madly in love as they were in that casino.
9 Saved: Grace & Zoe
Grace and Zoe started their romantic relationship in the 14th season. The pairing didn't last long, and it wasn't a deep love, but what made this couple save the show was that it was a fun relationship to watch as it grow and that it helped Zoe come to terms with herself.
Zoe needed help with a website and offered Grace some of the earnings in exchange for help. Then Zoe picked Grace for lab partner during summer school. Zoe just wanted good grades, but the two girls quickly became friends. They spent all their time together and kissed by the end of the summer. Soon, as the junior year progress, Zoe found she had a huge crush on Grace and pursued her.
Grace didn't completely reject her friend as she wanted to try to enjoy being with Zoe, but she was interested in someone else: Zig. Zoe took her disappointment too far when she wound up with Zig. This harmed her friendship with Grace, and it's never been as deep since. They've become friends again and even lived together, but it's clear Zoe still has romantic feelings for Grace.
Zoe is a strong character who developed greatly over the course of Degrassi and her feelings for Grace were a big part of that.
8 Hurt: JT & Mia
JT and Mia's relationship tarted during the sixth season of Degrassi. At first, the couple appeared as if they would last a long time, but it soon became clear that the two were completely wrong for each other.
Some scenes and conversations between them gave the impression that Mia was a rebound girl after JT broke up with Liberty Van Zandt.
Liberty was his girlfriend for a while before Mia came into the picture. The one saving grace for JT was that he got along with Mia's daughter, Isabelle. This relationship seemed like a vehicle for the writers to create an obstacle for JT.
Many fans felt JT was only meant to be with Liberty. They were much better as a couple. Mia was inserted into JT's life to make Liberty jealous - this hurt the show because it falls on the shoulders of the writers.
The unnecessary drama increased between JT, Mia, and Liberty when Liberty became angry that JT was good with Isabella. She informed Mia about the child she had with JT. Mia almost broke it off with JT due to trust, but the couple were together until JT lost his life in "Rock This Town".
7 Saved: JT & Liberty
One couple on Degrassi that everyone knew had an amazing relationship was JT and Liberty. While they didn't end up together by the time JT was stabbed, they were right for each other from the beginning.
The relationship blossomed from friendship to obvious crushes to boyfriend/girlfriend. Then they were thrust into the role of parents when Liberty became pregnant.
Despite JT try to take his own life, he promised to always be there for her - and he was always there when it mattered the most. While a tragic scenario, giving up their baby for adoption was pain for them and bonded them even closer in many fans' opinions. Yes, JT eventually started dating and establishing a relationship with Mia, but the connection between JT and Liberty was always there, which could be considered as saving the show.
Even after JT's passing, Liberty continued to mourn him, her romantic feelings too strong to just let him go.
Why did they save the show? Because their love was real and strong enough to endure the toughest issues, and even though they stayed apart, it was nice to see that the couple remained in love with one another for quite some time.
6 Saved: Jay & Manny
Some may say that individually, Jay and Manny were not good people, and when they got together that their relationship was doomed from the start. However, their chemistry was simply to strong to deny.
Manny was misguided in her youth, making many mistakes due to impulsive decisions, but by the time she left the show, Manny was one of the few characters to really grow as a person. Fans found Manny to be one of the best characters in Degrassi.
On the other hand, Jay was a terrible person. When with Alex, he cheated on her with so many people that it was revolting. Jay also gave Emma an STD. However, when he formed a relationship with Manny, he became a better man.
Possibly the worst part was Manny considered Jay clingy; she broke up with him after Jay took an engagement ring form a pawn shop, but since then, they've been together until the end of the show.
Their couple status has the "Endgame" moniker, meaning they are still together after the show. Their relationship saved the show because fans and viewers saw a change in Jay that impressed them. In a way, Manny really saved Jay more than the show.
5 Hurt: Alli & Leo
If you saw this relationship in Degrassi, you can probably already guess why Alli and Leo as a couple hurt the show. They developed a relationship starting in season 13 and were one of the few couples that didn't have a nickname.
Allie met Leo in Paris when she went on a school trip in the summer. Her phone was stolen, and Leo gallantly got it back for her. There was instant attraction at first - and nothing else.
When it was time for the trip to end, Leo admitted he didn't want a long-distance thing and wasn't content on them as a fling.
On Alli and Leo's final night in Paris, Alli got a text from Dallas. Leo let his jealousy and anger come to the surface as he saw the text, clearly thinking Alli wanted another guy. He physically assaulted Alli by grabbing her arm and bruising it.
Leo decides to transfer to Toronto University so they could continue the relationship on his terms, and Alli even marries him!
This relationship - more Leo's behavior, really - hurt the show because abusive actions occurred throughout their time together until it culminated in to a full-fledged beating when Alli didn't want to move in with Leo. She annulled the marriage right after.
Two weeks in Paris should have been fun and enough, but this pairing shows that shot-term infatuation doesn't make a long-lasting relationship.
4 Hurt: Tristan & Vijay
The relationship between Tristan and Vijay hurt the show because using another person to get over a past relationship is not healthy.
Tristan and Vijay started dating in the very first season, at the start of the school year. Vijay's crush on Tristan was obvious. Tristan knew about the crush, so he asked Vijay out to get over his previous boyfriend, Miles.
The two actually had much in common, like their passion for musical theater, but when Vijay finally understood he was a rebound, he broke up with Tristan.
Tristan admittedly had never gotten over Miles and tries to break up with Vijay, but the latter beats him to it by changing their online relationship status.
It only got much worse from there. After their relationship is over, Tristan informs Vijay, through an anonymous e-mail, that Vijay might have an STD. It's obvious to Vijay the e-mail was sent from Tristan, since Vijay confronts Tristan and tells him that he was the only "guy he's ever messed around with before." Unfortunately, Tristan nonchalantly tells Vijay that it's only chlamydia, furthering angering Vijay.
It's clear that Tristan never took the relationship seriously, even when something detrimental could emotionally harm Vijay.
3 Saved: Miles & Tristan
The chemistry between Miles and Tristan has always been strong. They grew a friendship through Maya before sharing a kiss. Miles, however, continued to have feelings for Maya, which caused their first break-up.
Tristan did shame Miles and any girls he had slept with because he was jealous, but then denied doing that, which made for a confusing relationship at that point.
Despite that, the two got back together, much to the delight of fans and viewers. They did hit a few snags during their second time around, like Miles's cheating and the bus crash, but all in all, their feelings for each other overcame everything.
Miles cheated with Lola when Tristan was in a coma, but Tristan decided to forgive him. Then, Tristan finally ended their relationship organically because Miles wanted to chase a writing career and he wanted to get better. Tristan had no problems letting Miles do that, but Tristan never got over Miles, as evident after he started a relationship with Vijay.
Even after their break-up, Miles still insisted on taking Tristan to prom. There's still hope for this couple to get back together after the show.
2 Hurt: Tiny & Lola
Tiny and Lola weren't together very long. Their relationship started in the first season of Next Class and had their finale as a couple in the 2nd season.
Lola chased after Tiny even though she knew her best friend Shay really liked him. It appeared that Lola and Tiny never really got along as a couple, since every time Shay and Tiny hung out they were much more compatible. Shay and Tiny were extremely smart, while Lola gave the impression of being flaky and ditzy.
Why did Tiny and Lola hurt the show? One main reason is that the two didn't have anything in common. You could make the argument that Lola just didn't care about other people, especially Tiny and her friend Shay. And that's not the kind of character you want teenagers to emulate.
First, she refused to acknowledge Shay's feelings for Tiny; Lola pursued a relationship with Tiny anyway. And the reason Lola and Tiny ended was a petty reason on Lola's part. She was using a dating app simply to get other boys to take her out and buy her pizza. Tiny wanted her to delete it, but she didn't. They got back together, but Lola saw how much Tiny still liked Shay andthey broke up again. She hated Tiny and Shay at first, but eventually she showed that she could be an adult and reconciled with both.
1 Saved: Becky & Adam
The word adorable doesn't categorize too many couples on Degrassi, but many fans used that word to describe Becky and Adam.
Their relationship saved the show because it was an inspiring and progressive relationship to present on a teen series. It also proved that people can change, making Becky a better character and person.
At first, Becky was disappointed Adam was transgender and tried to help him accept his "female side". Becky came from a very conservative household, but that didn't matter: the two became friends. They eventually said how they feel for each other. They began their intimate relationship in season 12.
Like most the couples in Degrassi, the couple does break up, but for totally normal reasons. Adam tells Becky he loves her for the first time, but she can't handle it and must think about them as a couple.
Adam tries to get over Becky but knew his feelings for her were too strong. Becky sends him a text saying she wants to talk. Adam tries to text back that he loved her, but since he was driving, loses control as he's using his phone. Adam crashes and loses his life.
The saddest part of their relationship is that Becky never had a chance to reunite and resolve the past with Adam before he passed away.
What couples of Degrassi do you feel hurt the show or saved it? Let us know in the comments!

5 Things HIMYM Does Better Than Friends (& Vice Versa)

German speed limit could cut more CO2 than previously thought
Cars pass a 120 km/h speed limit sign on the A27 Autobahn near the northern German city of Bremen April 10, 2008. REUTERS
A new study has found that Germany could save almost three times more carbon dioxide emissions than previously thought by introducing a speed limit on its highways, increasing pressure on Berlin to reconsider the politically sensitive issue.
Data from the Federal Environment Agency (UBA) published on Thursday showed a speed limit of 120 kilometres per hour (75 miles per hour) on motorways in Germany, where there are currently no speed restrictions, could cut total CO2 emissions from passenger cars and light commercial vehicles by about 6.7 million tonnes a year.
In an earlier study, with a different methodology, the agency expected such limit to result in 2.6 million CO2 cuts.
The transport ministry was not immediately available for comment on the new study findings, reports Reuters.
As Germany aims to become carbon neutral by 2045, the new results add to mounting pressure on the transport ministry, led by the liberal FDP party, to ramp up its CO2 cutting programme for the sector that has been the slowest to cut emissions.
To meet its 2022 greenhouse reduction target, the sector's emissions should have not exceeded 138.7 million tonnes of CO2-equivalents. UBA will announce in March whether the sector met that target but had cautioned in November that there was no indications it had managed to do so.
In 2021, transport in Germany emitted some 148 million tonnes of CO2, missing its target by around 3 million tonnes.
The transport ministry says its programme will cut some 13 million tonnes in the coming years, compensating for the 2021 missed target.
But environmentalists say the programme does not go far enough, urging the government to introduce speed limits on its motorways, with some activists supergluing themselves to roads in Berlin and other German cities demanding such limit.
Germany's ruling coalition has failed to agree on a speed limit due to opposition from the FDP.
UBA's results coincided with Germany's constitutional court announcing on Thursday that it had rejected a constitutional complaint against the government for not introducing a general speed limit on the country's motorways

Veron Scott Obituary, Veron Scott has died – Death
Veron Scott Obituary, Death – An accident that occurred close to the cremation site in South Oropouche yesterday evening resulted in the death of a motorcyclist who was 34 years old. The incident took place. At the scene of the accident, the rider was pronounced deceased from their injuries. It has recently come to our attention that the individual in issue is known by the name of Veron Scott, and we also know that he was born and raised in the Embacadere district of San Fernando. It has been determined that this information is accurate.
At approximately 11:45 p.m., officers who were stationed at the Oropouche Police Station received a call informing them of an accident that had taken place close to the Shore of Peace at the roundabout that is located along the Southern Main Road. The information provided to the officers was that the accident had involved multiple vehicles. The caller informed the authorities that the accident had taken place on the Southern Main Road. This information was provided to them by the caller. The information that the collision had involved a variety of vehicles was sent along to the recipient of the call by the caller.
When the police arrived, they located a black motorcycle that had become lodged against and trapped behind a gray roadside barrier on the left side of the roundabout that leads towards San Fernando. On the road outside of the circle was where you could find the barrier. After some time had passed, they discovered Scott laying on his back on the grassy area that was close to the railing of the balcony. It had been some time since he had been there.
It had been a while since he had last visited that location. The condition of the patient deteriorated to the point where it was no longer possible to save his life at roughly 12:56 in the morning. It was not able to pull the patient back from the edge of death despite obtaining emergency care at the San Fernando General Hospital, where it was later determined that he had passed away despite the hospital's best efforts.

Youth Work has a rich history of using theatre/drama to stimulate critical conversations about personal, social and political issues. I'm out of touch with how much it features in today's practice. Meanwhile thanks to James Ballantyne for this link to an excellent piece by theatre director, Toby Ealden.
Created against the background of Brexit, What Once Was Ours uses beautiful imagery, striking original music and immersive design to create this powerful new production, which asks why we've become so fearful of anyone who is different from us.

Q: CORS issue with React and Localbase I've already tried solutions from this forum, without success (which is why I'm creating this new post).
My app is just frontend (and all the solutions I've seen work from the backend).
I am trying to retrieve a base 64 image that I save with indexedDB.
But it throws me this error:

Our primary interest is to improve our understanding of relationships between shape and function in living and fossil animals. We use computer based 3D modelling (Finite Element Analysis) and geometric morphometrics to predict and analyse mechanical behaviour in skulls and other biological structures.
In addition to providing detailed information on how animals are adapted to particular behaviours and predictions for behaviour in fossil species, we apply these techniques to answer a wide range of biomedical questions. Other areas on which we have published and maintain an active interest in include vertebrate palaeontology, extinction of the Australian megafauna and marsupial carnivore phylogeny and biogeography.
A list of current and recent projects is provided on the FEAR web site.
Below are some project ideas, if you are thinking of doing some research with our lab. Most projects involve collaborating with zoologists and palaeontologists working at UNE or elsewhere, using modern methods to address important research questions arising in functional anatomy, zoology and evolution. No prior experience in zoology is required—just a willingness to learn! Contact us for more information on these opportunities.

After a tepid first week of sales of their new album 'Music From Another Dimension,' reports are surfacing that the members of Aerosmith are at odds once again. The new album -- their first of new music in a decade -- sold just 65K copies last week, ranking fifth overall on the Billboard album sales chart.
A band spokesman disputes the claims of trouble, saying "Aerosmith is doing great and on tour and on fire. Any claim to the contrary is absolutely false."
A second source tells Page Six that Tyler is blaming his record label for the lackluster reception to 'Music From Another Dimension,' released on Election Day. Furthermore many wonder if the singer and fiance Erin Brady are having trouble, but the band contact says any whispers of a breakup are just rumor while reminding fans that "just as any couple goes through trials and tribulations in a relationship, Steven and Erin have asked for their privacy at this time."
Aerosmith's Global Warming Tour is in Austin, Texas tonight (Nov. 16) before coming to play Madison Square Garden on Tuesday (Nov. 20).


Vegan Crunk: Vegan Eggy Eats for Spring!
Yesterday was the first day of Spring, and I couldn't be more thrilled! I hate winter with a passion. I hate being cold. I hate having dry skin. I hate wearing layers and shoes with socks. I hate dead plants. But Spring is here, and that means green plants and warmer weather and supple skin and — most importantly — tee-shirts, shorty-shorts, flats, and tank tops. Oh, and brunching on patios (the ultimate Spring experience).
The Spring Equinox is also known as Ostara, and traditionally, eggs are eaten to celebrate the Earth's fertility (hence the Easter tradition with dyed eggs). So every year on Ostara, I center my meals around vegan eggs. Yesterday for lunch, I tried the Just for All Egg (finally found it for sale in Memphis!) in a Breakfast Burrito.
I'll do a full post on Just Egg soon, but for now I'll just say, this stuff is amazing! It really does taste and look like real eggs. Also in my burrito: roasted potatoes, tempeh bacon, spinach, vegan cheese, and salsa.
After work, my friends Megan and Pam came over for an Ostara ritual and celebration. We enjoyed my Tofu Eggless Olive Salad from Cookin' Crunk on multigrain crackers.
And I made the Classic Kale Salad from The No Meat Athlete Cookbook. I love this versatile recipe that suggests different veggie, nut, and dried fruit options. For this version, I used carrots, red cabbage, celery, red onion, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and dried cranberries. Plus, I used springy herbs, like dill, thyme, and tarragon.
Pam brought some Treeline Garlic-Herb Cashew Cheese and wine, so we also had plenty of wine and cheese. For dessert, I grabbed a few springy treats from the cafe at Crosstown Arts for us to split. I got a slice of Carrot-Pineapple Cake.
And a Meyor Lemon Almond Handpie. I cut these into little bite-sized pieces so we could all try them.
After our feast, we did a seed blessing and planted lavender, thyme, and lemon balm infused with our hopes and intentions for the year ahead. And we did Tarot readings! Happy Ostara!
I love spring too! It's definitely my favorite season. I love the freshness and newness and hope of it all!!!
I'll probably never try the Just Egg because of the price to be honest!! But I think your tofu eggless salad looks amazing!
Oooh what delicious and festive meals! I seriously love breakfast burritos, I really need to make one soon. Good to know about the Just Egg! It is a little splurgy for me but maybe if I ever see it on sale! That hand pie sounds so amazing, yum!
We just had Mabon here, though with the weather still mostly above 30 degree Celcius, I am not feeling the seasons changing. Still, I had a little Mabon inspired dinner with a roasted pumpkin and barley salad, and a roasted apple cheesecake. All of which could be eaten at room temperature or chilled.

Ex-midwife celebrates 60 dazzling years of marriage
A former midwife who delivered more than 1,500 Teesside babies is celebrating her Diamond Wedding Anniversary.
Joyce and Frank Atkinson of Benton Road, Middlesbrough, were married on August 21, 1948 after meeting each other at North Riding Infirmary.
"She was a midwife and I was a patient in the infirmary when I was 20 and she was one of the nurses who took a fancy to me," said Frank, who was a blacksmith from Haverton Hill.
"We just hit it off."
Four years later they walked down the aisle at Norton Methodist Church.
Joyce, 83, and Frank, 85, have two sons, David and Geoffrey, and three grown-up grandchildren Dale, Kyle and Catherine who live in Canada.

The History of Saint Mary Parish in Milan
The Catholic community of Saint Mary of Milan was established in 1868 and the first building was constructed in 1882. The church's foundation is rooted in the Irish settlers of Ohio and Indiana, who in the 1850s migrated to the green hills of northern Missouri, driving the need (by 1860 to 1865) to construct a place of worship and seek a priest to care for their spiritual needs. Father John J. Hogan (later Bishop Hogan) celebrated the first recorded Mass in Sullivan County on May 19,1868, at the farm home of Dennis Ryan just east of Milan. The parish celebrates its 150th anniversary during the summer of 2018.
For the first several years, Mass was celebrated in the homes of Catholic families. In 1871, a church, also dedicated to Saint Mary, was built in Unionville by J.J. Kennedy and he cared for the Catholics in the Milan area from Unionville. He was succeeded by Father Francis Smith, who started the construction of a church in Milan in 1881. Fr. Smith died of smallpox the following year, after having ministered to a family stricken with the disease. During the 1880s there were several interim priests.
In 1890, Father William F. Hanley built a residence in Milan, establishing the parish as the primary base and cementing its place. In 1902, Father J.J. Jermain began serving the parish and presided over the construction of a brick rectory, located immediately behind the current church in 1908. From 1902 until his death in 1922, Father Jermain took care of various missions, including Mendota in Putnam County, as well as Novinger and Connelsville in Adair County. He also began the building of the present brick church in Milan to replace the frame church in 1921. Father Jermain suffered a fatal accident and the church construction was completed by his successor, Father Hugh Hezinger. The new church with its distinctive spire was dedicated on May 30, 1923.
Eventually, age and deterioration of the mortar used to bond the brick rendered the spire structurally unfit and unsafe. Restoration costs were estimated to exceed $500,000. An amount far exceeding the resources of Saint Mary parishioners. The determination was made to remove the spire. The original church bell was salvaged and memorialized in front of the church.
Over the years, coal mining and railroad shops brought a number of Catholic immigrants to the area. Saint Mary in Unionville became a mission of the Milan parish. Both communities, now a parish and mission of the diocese of Jefferson CIty under the shepherd's care of Bishop John R. Gaydos, were reassigned from the Diocese of Kansas City-Saint Joseph upon formation of the Jefferson City diocese.
A large part of the Milan economy is now pork production, supporting a local processing plant employing more than 1,100. With that evolution, MIlan became a culturally diverse community. Saint Mary is now a multi-lingual parish of Spanish, English, and French speakers. Regular weekend masses are celebrated in both Spanish and English.


Trust is one of the main factors that guide the choice of a financial institution by customers.
Companies have been working for many years, or even centuries, for a positive image of their business. As a result, the good name and brand become the most valuable assets.
Naturally, other companies have a will to "borrow" the brand of a successful company for their own benefit. As a result, the legal owner of the brand not only loses part of the profits but can devalue its assets.

The collapse of the Ngô Đình Diệms regime and the demise of the First Republic signified a new period in the history of South Vietnam. The Hòa Hảo Buddhist community as well as other victims of the ancien regime all had similar feelings that the oppression and restrictions of the previous nine years suddenly disappeared.
Since the founding of the Hòa Hảo community, peasants of the Hậu Giang region had joined the congregation due to religious reasons. The political and military activities of the Hòa Hảo community only served certain temporal goals of a certain historical period. Correspondingly, the Hòa Hảo military build-up, of the 1945-1955 period, was an important part of Hòa Hảo history. When the Hòa Hảo armed forces were destroyed by Diems military, it caused feelings of disillusionment among many Hòa Hảo followers. However, in the immediate aftermath of the demise of Ngô Đình Diệms regime, the Hòa Hảo community refrained from revitalizing its armed forces.
Instead, the Hòa Hảo followers clearly prioritized a movement towards the revival of their religious life. Revitalization of the political activities, notably the Social-Democratic Party, remained a second priority.
On December 1, 1963, just in one month following Ngô Đình Diệms demise, the Hòa Hảo community held a preparatory congress in the Hòa Hảo Holy Land. The Hòa Hảo activists voted to restore their church, or Giáo Hội. The activists also filed a petition seeking the Interior Ministrys registration and approval of the Hòa Hảo Churchs Charter, or Bản Điều Lệ.
In the aftermath of the nine-year period of coerced inaction, the revitalization of the community life commenced with the election of dignitaries on the grass-root level. In other words, a newly elected Administrative Committees, or Ban Trị Sự, on the hamlet and village level became a cornerstone of the revived Hòa Hảo Church. Subsequently, Hòa Hảo institutions on the district and province level were formed.
On November 18, 1964, approximately one thousand representatives convened at the Hòa Hảo National Congress and elected the Central Administrative Committee, or Ban Trị Sự Trung Ương. As a result, for the first time since 1939, the Hòa Hảo community formed an institutionalized church with a hierarchical structure. The Central Administrative Committee consisted of the Administrative board and the Control Board, or Hội đồng Bảo pháp.
Since the departure of Huỳnh Phú Sổ, none of the Hòa Hảo followers had been in position to claim absolute religious authority. Therefore, leadership bodies of the Hòa Hảo Church were formed in the course of an election process. Two main criteria were used to select the candidates: they were to be trusted disciples of Huỳnh Phú Sổ and they were supposed to demonstrate their fidelity to Hòa Hảo principles. Subsequently, direct elections at congresses were replaced by a process of nomination by the Electoral Committee, or Hội đồng Bầu cử, which included representatives of all provincial congregations.
Paradoxically, in the wake of Ngô Đình Diệms demise, the activities of the Hòa Hảo Buddhist Church remained restricted as stipulated by the notorious Decree No 10. Correspondingly, the legal status of the Hòa Hảo congregation, as well as the Caodaist community, remained limited by the Decree within narrow frames of public associations status. For instance, the Hòa Hảo Churchs Charter, or Bản Điều Lệ, was to be approved by the Interior Ministry in order to become a valid legal document. Without official approval, the Hòa Hảo congregation would have been viewed as an illegal association. Surprisingly, the Catholic Church still was not subject to the restrictions mentioned above.
Obviously, all non-Catholic religious communities were keen to annul this unfair and antiquated legislation. Nonetheless, the Hòa Hảo Churchs Charter was registered in line with the old procedure: it was approved on February 5, 1964 by the decree No 112/BNV/KS of the Interior Ministry.
On July 12, 1965, following the active lobbying by the Hoa Hao activists, the government issued Decree 002/65, Sắc luật 002/65, in which it recognized the Hòa Hảo community as a religious congregation, and hence, no longer subject to Decree No 10. Consequently, a new Hòa Hảo Churchs Charter, or Bản Hiến Chương, was approved to replace the previous Charter of December 1963.


Boom! and Kaboom!'s second "announcement" this week is that Roger Langridge will be joining Kaboom! which is of course the new kids line from Boom! Studios. The title that Langridge is bringing is titled Snarked and suspisously looks like two characters from Alice in Wonderland. If the name sounds familar it might be do to the fact that he wrote Boom! The Muppet Show and Marvel's recently cancelled Thor: The Mighty Avenger. Both are terrific books that appeal to all ages. Kaboom! is coming out strong we can only wait to see what comes tomorrow.


Windowed mode shouldn't make a difference either way. Are you sure the game is actually crashing, or is it just appearing to not respond? It can take a very long time to save games in PR especially if you have a normal HDD and not a solid-state drive.
Not sure if this is a bug/typo/my own ineptitude bit with some heroes I am getting the tool tip stating to move them into orbit to promote them via ground tab, but no upgrade presents itself. Notable are Ackbar - Fleet Admiral, Wedge -Pilot Officer , Porkins- Pilot Officer, Farlander - Pilot Officer. This list is not extensive.
Of Note is that heroes like Liea and Iblis have been upgraded to max and don't show the tool tip anymore. Am I missing something, a particular building or shipyard level?
You need at least 1 ground structure for the upgrades to show up as well. Not sure why some of the heroes aren't working, I'll check myself. At max level the upgrade tooltip disappears because, well, they're max level, so they can't upgrade any more.
After the last update I had saves work for a few days but now I'm back to crashing upon attempting to load any saves.
Including older saves that previously worked?
Yeah, nothing will load at all. Just immediately crashes with no error message.
That's extremely strange, if older working saves have somehow broken. I don't know what could have happened there unless you either 1) made changes to the mod that broke all saves or 2) your storage device has some problems.
I did only have one previous save, so it could just be something with that one. But still, no new saves are working. I haven't made any changes to the mod at all.
Well if nothing has changed with the mod then it's likely saves will start working again in the same way they stopped: randomly. It's a very strange bug for sure.
It seems my sentence "mod is crashing during saving" needs some explanation.
1. I try to save game. I know it failed because there is info "Failed to save game. Check available disk space". Disk space is OK. Other mods save well. PR 12 version saves well but it lags horribly.
2. Saved game has 0 bytes, but mod is still playing and not crashing right now.
3. If save failed that way - it its 100% probability game will not save nor load during this session. It can play some time still, all other tries to save will fail (I can even enter battle and try to save after that battle - result will be failed save).
4. If try to load in that stage - it will crash game to desktop.
5. If try to save a few times more - it will eventually crash game to desktop.
So I call it "crashed" as you can't save it anyway and game will always crash after a few failed tries to save.
PS: PR 12 saves this Skyhook very well. It lags horribly instead. This demo does not lag for me.
Thanks for the further information. I've personally experienced the 0 byte save bug with older versions of PR so I understand what you mean now. I haven't had the issue with the demo so I'm not sure what's causing it in your case. I haven't had it reported by anybody else either. All the other savegame issues have been after successfully saving then trying to load the saved game, causing an immediate crash.
That's good to hear. I am primarily developing on the Steam version since it has actually been updated. I do have access to a disk version though and even testing on there I haven't had many of the same issues as players have reported. It's confusing.
Some more info about my save problems.
System version Win XP with 4GB RAM or Win 7 with 8GB RAM (both, different computers).
Citation: "The Zero bytes savegame. When this problem happens, your game crash to desktop in the beginning of a battle and if you check it, you see a autosavegame with zero bytes or few kilobytes, at the end, a useless savegame. Other times, it does not happen when you load a battle and it happens when you try save a game and you see a message from the game speaking about if you have not enough space in the hard disk. Do not worry, you have space but the game can not write the savegame, probably because game engine can not write more amount of data.
Solutions? When it happens, you have not chances to fix it, but I know how the problem is because the code from the mod is too big. Based at my estimations, when xml code is bigger of 30mb, you can start to see the problem easily at big galactic conquest."
No problem with save files in PR 12.
50% chance of problems in PR 21 (with precautions, saving only in quiet periods when fps is stable (27-28).
39-40+ mb is fairly safe.
More than 50 mb is probably not.
I don't know if others have this issue, though. Maybe with better PC (16-32 GB RAM?) and Steam version (aware of more RAM?) it can be avoided.
Thanks for more info. This issue is probably more likely on the 4GB RAM system, but I remember having the same bug in v1.2 (or maybe an earlier one) when I had plenty of HDD space and RAM.

Q: Does SAP Business Objects 4.1 version support Snowflake cloud database? We are upgrading database from Teradata to Snowflake cloud database. We have SAP Business Objects BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 8 Patch 3 Version: 14.1.8.2168. Is this version of SAP BO compatible with snowflake or we must upgrade to SAP BO 4.2 ? Upgrading is not part of our original plan, hence need definite answers so that I can tell the same to client

A: According to this blogpost (https://blogs.sap.com/2020/03/12/snowflake-for-sap-businessobjects-4.2-sp08/) only SAP BI 4.2 SP8 or above is able to connect to Snowflake with a Snowflake specific driver.
