Africa, a single word laden with complex imagery, evokes a narrative of a people grappling with adversity. The continent's populace stands inadequately safeguarded against external upheavals triggered by natural calamities, adverse climate conditions, wars, and conflicts. These multifaceted predicaments have sparked a dichotomy of reactions; while some take offense at the media's portrayal of Africa as besieged by myriad issues that cripple its capacity to secure food and nutritional stability for its citizens, others see a distressing pattern repeating itself annually.

Imagine you have an oak tree. When this tree drops an acorn, and that acorn sprouts into a seedling, that seedling isn't actually the oak tree's child, but its grandchild. The reason for this lies in the intricate life cycle of plants, which includes an often unseen multicellular organism. This phenomenon applies to all land plants. Even though plants might seem simple, their life cycles involve a hidden generation that serves a specific purpose. Here's how it works and why these "invisible" generations are significant.

“This feels like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.” – LACOE Board Member Theresa Montaño, Ed.D. While Jerry Brown’s lobbying efforts may have delayed the closure of the North Valley Military Institute (NVMI), he does not appear to have changed the rogue charter school’s trajectory. He was able to get the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) Board to cancel its scheduled vote to revoke the charter at its August 15, 2023 meeting. However, this motion was replaced by consideration of yet another Notice of Violation. The postponement will only harm the students as it allows the charter school to leave them in a state of limbo instead of helping them to transition to new schools in an orderly manner.

In ancient Greek mythology, there exists a tale called "Phaethon and the Sun." This narrative follows Phaethon, the young son of Helios, the god of the sun. Each day, Phaethon would embark on a journey across the sky in his chariot, bringing warmth and vitality to the Earth. Driven by a deep desire to prove his father's divinity, Phaethon visits Helios' temple. After confirming their familial relationship, Helios, wanting to grant his son a favour, allows Phaethon to make a request. Acted impulsively, Phaethon boldly asks to personally take control of his father's chariot and guide it across the heavens. Despite Helios' attempts to dissuade him, his promise compels him to relinquish control to the determined Phaethon. However, as soon as Phaethon takes charge, he loses control of the chariot, causing it to veer off course. Recklessly, the chariot hurtles through the sky, descending dangerously close to the ground and scorching the Earth's surface. According to Greek mythology, this catastrophic event resulted in the bleaching of Libya's hills into desert, the retreat of the Nile, and the darkening of the Ethiopian people's skin, Although this tale is purely mythical, it subtly suggests a more significant truth: the deserts of Libya and other Saharan countries were not always the desolate wastelands they are now.
