Top 10 books about roots Nadia Owusu
When I was a child, my father told me stories about his childhood in Ghana’s Ashanti region. And, because he knew that I wouldn’t learn much about Africa in my primary schools in Europe, he was determined to instruct me about Ghanaian culture, customs and history. Our history, he emphasised, did not begin with colonisation.
My mother left when I was two, but my father wanted me to feel connected to her Armenian culture. Vividly, I remember a conversation in which he spoke to the trauma her grandparents experienced, fleeing genocide in what was then the Ottoman empire.

“Well, yeah, maybe,” the man says sheepishly, “I’m ..” “You’re from Tyler!” the barista exclaims, growing giddier by the syllable. “Tyler High School! You taught. oh, what was it . ?” “Chemistry,” the man deadpans, suddenly channeling a person he’s assembling on the spot. “Mr. Carney.” “Of course!” she squeals. “Mr. Carney. Wow. How are you?!” “One of my students?” he inquires, fanning the flames. “Were you there when we had the, um, the big fire in the lab?” “Yes!” she exclaims, exercising some form of caffeinated manifestation. “Oh, my God!” Before the man dares to spin out of control with his impromptu fish tale – perhaps asking to compare invisible scars from a blaze that never occurred in a phantom teacher’s classroom that doesn’t exist – he grabs his coffee, quickly nods to a wide-eyed customer that has clearly made him out, and high-tails it for the exit.

Australia’s Smart Energy Council will partner with the German Energy Agency to cooperate on the development and certification of the production of renewable hydrogen in each of the countries, including the creation of a certification scheme that covers renewable hydrogen, ammonia and other green fuels and materials derived from green hydrogen.
The certification scheme will include the creation of a new ‘guarantee of origin’ scheme, allowing the production of green hydrogen to be tracked and differentiated from hydrogen that may be produced through the use of fossil fuels.
The cooperative agreement will also see the two peak bodies work together on initiatives that support new green hydrogen developments, as well as driving trade between Australia and Germany across the full hydrogen supply chain.
