Botswana's sharp economic growth was because of built on a foundation of diamond mining, prudent fiscal policies, international financial and technical assistance, and a cautious foreign policy. Botswana's economy is mostly dependent on diamond mining. Diamond mining contributes to 50% of the government revenue. It is the least corrupt country in Africa in the Corruption Perceptions Index by international corruption watchdog Transparency International. It has the fourth highest gross national income per capita in purchasing power in Africa and above the world average.
Even though Botswana's economy is really good, its heavy dependence on mining and its high rate of HIV/AIDS infection and unemployment might make it a really bad country in the future.

Quintillus
Quintillus was Roman emperor for seventeen days in September 270. Quintillus was the brother of Claudius Gothicus, who was Roman emperor until September 270. Quintillus took power in the Italian Peninsula when Claudius Gothicus died at Sirmium (Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia). After a short time, Aurelian's army overcame Quintillus's army in a battle at Aquileia in the later part of September. Quintillus then died, either by suicide or by murder by soldiers.
Before Quintillus became emperor, he was the "procurator" (a government official) for Sardinia. Many coins were made during Quintillus's short time as emperor. The "Calendar of Philocalus" says that he was emperor for seventy-seven days, but most historians agree that he was emperor for only seventeen days. The "Historia Augusta" says that Quintillus had a wife and two children.

Rose Hall, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Rose Hall was founded as a free village during the time of slavery. It is located in the North Leeward side of St. Vincent. It is the highest village above sea level in St. Vincent. Some aspects of Rose Hall are: It was an egalitarian village with groups of close-knit families: The Williams's, Samuel's, Stapleton's, Ferdinand's, Lampkin's, Garraway's, Robertson's, and few others. Rose Hall does not have it's own beach; however, it is in walking distance to the beaches in neighboring villages such as Troumaca, Rose Bank, and Petit Bordel. Rose Hall is very chilly at nights and the mountain breeze is dry, crisp, clean, except when there is a volcanic eruption at La Soufriere, which is miles away from the village, but can be seen clearly as it were a mile or so away.
The people of Rose Hall rely heavily of farming, and this village once was considered as one of the primary bread-baskets of St. Vincent.
Our Rose Hallian fore-parents were very hardworking, God-fearing Christians, and respect for elders was held at the strictest standards. Also, giving, sharing, and accommodating strangers were some of its best quality. Education, moral values, good manners, and behavior were seen as the keys that will take it people throughout the world.

Nation (book)
Nation is a book by Terry Pratchett. It was published in 2008. Harper Collins published it. Unlike most of Terry Pratchett's books, it is set in a world that is like the real world and not a fantasy world. Pratchett wrote "Nation" for children to read.
The world of "Nation" has an England and a France in it. It also has a "Pelagic Ocean", which is not really the Pacific Ocean. The story is set in the 1860s.
Most of the story happens on an island in the "Southern Pelagic Ocean" after a giant wave kills almost all of the people who lived there. The people who lived on the island, and their culture, are "the Nation".
The main character, a teenager named Mau, was on a canoe trip when the wave came, so he did not die. He comes back home to the island to find everyone gone. The other main character, an English girl called Daphne, was shipwrecked on the island by the wave. Soon, other people from other islands show up. Mau, Daphne, and the new people rebuild the Nation together.
Meanwhile, the King of England and most of his family have died in an epidemic. Daphne's father is the next person in line to be King of England. There is an English ship looking for Daphne and her father.
Mau had been on a trip to the Boys' Island to become a man. In the Nation, boys go to the island for thirty days to live alone. When they come back, they are given a ceremony that makes them men. The ceremony has a feast, tattoos, and ritual circumcision. The boy is supposed to leave his "boy's soul" on the boy's island, sail home, and then get a "man's soul" after his feast.
Because Mao is in between being a boy and a man, he thinks he has no soul. Mao often thinks that he is like a hermit crab that has left one shell but not found another one yet. Because of this, Mao and other people wonder if demons and other evil spirits will get into Mao's body.
Mau believes he can hear the voices of "the Grandfathers", who are old men whose spirits watch over the Nation. They order him around telling him to rebuild the Nation's god-anchors (altars) and perform the rituals and chants that made up the culture. Many of the characters in the book ask whether God or the gods are real because they allowed a bad thing to happen: the wave that killed so many people. Mau often says he doesn't think the gods exist, but he can see the god of death, Locaha, who talks to him.
On the island, Mau, Daphne, and the refugees rebuild the farm and buildings on the island, defeat raiders and mutineers, and discover an underground museum that Mau's ancestors built. Daphne believes that the island had once been much bigger during the Ice Age and that the Nation's ancestors could build telescopes, eyeglasses, metal tools and ships that could sail long distances. Daphne believes that many of the stories and songs that Mau has told her are really about planets and sailing around the world.
Daphne's father comes to the Nation looking for Daphne. Then the ship from England comes to the island looking for Daphne's father, and they crown him king of England.
Mau and the other people in the Nation decide that they do not want to become part of the British Empire. Instead, they ask to join the Royal Society, the group of British scientists founded by Isaac Newton. Mau says any scientist from any other nation may come to the Nation to look at the very old museum. These scientists will pay the people of the Nation by teaching them everything they know.
In an epilogue, the last chapter of the book, it is the twenty-first century. The Nation is full of scientists but has kept its own culture. An old man tells two young children of the Nation about Mau and Daphne and how to use an old telescope.
James Hynes of the "New York Times" thought the book was good. He liked the characters, the story, and the way the book looked at the way powerful countries treat smaller countries and religion. He called it "both a high-spirited yarn and a subtle examination of the risks and virtues of faith."
Zack Handlen of "The AV Club" thought the book was mostly good but had a few problems. He liked the story and characters and Terry Pratchett's use of humanism, which is a way of thinking about society.
"Nation" won many awards:

Claudius Gothicus
Claudius (10 May 214–September 270 AD) was Roman emperor from 268 to 270. After 269, he was called "Gothicus" because of his military victories against the Goths.
Claudius () may have come from Illyricum in the Balkans, part of the Roman Empire. Latin historians (the authors of the "Epitome de Caesaribus" and the "Historia Augusta") wrote that Claudius was the son of the emperor Gordian III, or was related to the emperor Probus. These claims are not true.
The "Historia Augusta" says that Claudius was a military tribune () in the army of the emperor Decius. After that, the "Historia Augusta" says that Claudius was leader of a Roman legion () in the time of the emperor Valerian. Next, the "Historia Augusta" says that Claudius was governor of all Illyricum () when Gallienus was emperor. The Latin historian Aurelius Victor and the Greek historian Zonaras wrote that Claudius was a tribune () at Ticinum (Pavia, Italy) in 268.
Claudius became emperor in September or October 268. Soon afterwards his armies overcame the Alemanni in a battle at Lake Garda on the Italian Peninsula. Claudius got the title because of this success over the Germanic peoples. For the first winter of his reign (268–269) he may have been in Rome. In 269, Claudius was Roman consul. He and his armies overcame the Goths in a battle at Naissus (Niš, Serbia). After this, Claudius got the name , because of his victory over the Goths.
In September 270, Claudius Gothicus died of plague in Sirmium (Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia). He was deified (made into a god), with the name in .
Claudius Gothicus had a brother, Quintillus.
In the time of the later emperor Constantine the Great, the "Historia Augusta" says that Claudius Gothicus had another brother with the name Crispus and a sister with the name Constantina. The "Historia Augusta" also says that Claudius had a daughter with the name Claudia. This is not true.

Olivia Farnsworth
Olivia Farnsworth (born 2009) is a British girl who is the only known person in the world to have all three symptoms of chromosome 6p deletion. The three symptoms are lack of pain, lack of hunger and lack of tiredness. Farnsworth is incapable of being hurt, and she does need to eat, she just doesn't feel pain or hunger. As for sleep, it is unknown whether or not she truly needs to sleep, she allegedly went three days without sleep once. She currently takes sleeping pills, which allow her to sleep for around six hours every night.
Farnsworth is entirely unable to feel pain. She once bit through her lip, and didn't notice. She also was in a car accident, which resulted in her getting up and asking "what's going on?" She only had minor injuries.
Olivia does not feel hungry, but she does eat. She eats for pleasure, because she knows she has to, and because other people are eating. Olivia's inability to feel hunger has caused her to eat specific foods only for long periods of time. When she was younger, she would only drink milkshakes. In January of 2016, she would only eat chicken soup. In 2016, she would eat a much wider range of foods, including fruits and vegetables.
It is not known whether Farnsworth actually needs to sleep. She once went three days without sleep allegedly and she had none of the usual symptoms of not sleeping. Nevertheless, she takes sleeping pills so she can sleep six hours a night.

Mazama
A brocket deer is the species of deer in the genus Mazama. Medium to small in size, and are found in the Yucatán Peninsula, Central and South America, and the island of Trinidad. Most species are primarily found in forests. They are superficially similar to the African duikers and the Asian muntjacs, but unrelated. About 10 species of brocket deer are described.
The genus name "Mazama" is derived from Nahuatl "mazame", the plural of "mazatl" "deer". The common English name "brocket" (from French "brocart" < "broche", spindle) comes from the word for a stag in its second year, with unbranched antlers.
The taxonomy among "Mazama" species has changed significantly in the last decades, and as recently as 1999, some authorities only recognized four species. These four "species", "M. americana", "M. gouazoubira", "M. rufina", and "M. chunnyi", included several distinct populations that subsequently were elevated to species status, resulting in a total of nine different species being recognized in "Mammal Species of the World" in 2005. A tenth species, "M. nemorivaga", has traditionally been included in "M. gouazoubira", but this was shown to be mistaken in 2000. "M. nemorivaga" was not recognized as a separate species in "Mammal Species of the World", but this was apparently in error. Yet another species, the fair brocket ("M. tienhoveni"), has recently been described from the lower Amazon basin. What may be an undescribed small species of brocket with a reddish coat and blackish legs has been photographed in the lowlands of Manú National Park in Peru, and based on sight records may also occur in northwestern Bolivia.
Molecular dating suggests that the family Cervidae originated and radiated in central Asia during the Late Miocene, and that the Odocoileini dispersed to North America during the Miocene/Pliocene boundary and underwent an adaptive radiation in South America after their Pliocene dispersal across the Isthmus of Panama. According to the systematic relationships and evolutionary history of neotropical deer, at least eight ancestral forms of deer invaded South America during the late Pliocene (2.5–3 Mya), and members of the red brockets had an independent early explosive diversification soon after their ancestor arrived there, giving rise to a number of morphologically cryptic species.
Deer endemic to the New World fall in two biogeographic lineages: the first, which includes genus "Odocoileus" and "Mazama americana", is distributed in North, Central, and South America, whereas the second is composed of South American species only and includes "Mazama gouazoubira". This implies that the genus "Mazama" is not a monophyletic taxon. Genetic analysis reveals high levels of molecular and cytogenetic divergence between groups of morphologically similar species of brockets ("Mazama") and suggests a polyphyletic origin. In particular, "M. americana" showed a striking kinship with "Odocoileus" on the basis of several DNA sequences, in contrast to that expected, since this "M. americana" (now "M. temama") haplotype, of Mexican origin, was not close to several Bolivian "Mazama" sequences analyzed. Thus, "Mazama" as traditionally circumscribed may not be monophyletic. These Bolivian "Mazama" species were instead grouped with "Pudu puda" and "Ozotoceros bezoarticus". This could be explained by various possibilities, among them the existence of common ancestral haplotypes among the species or the need for a revised phylogenetic tree, with revised placement into true monophyletic genera that better reflect the true ancestry.
Depending on species, brocket deer are small to medium-sized with stout bodies and large ears. The head-and-body length is , the shoulder height is , and the typical weight , though exceptionally large "M. americana" specimens have weighed as much as . When present, the antlers are small, simple spikes. The pelage varies from reddish to brown to gray. Very roughly, the species can be divided into four groups based on size, color, and habitat (but not necessarily matching their phylogeny):
In addition to being small and nocturnal, "Mazama" species are shy and are thus rarely observed. They are found living alone or in mated pairs within their own small territory, the boundaries usually marked with urine, feces, or secretions from the eye glands. When threatened by predators (primarily the cougar and the jaguar), they use their knowledge of their territory to finding hiding places in nearby vegetation. As herbivores, their diet consists of leaves, fruits, and shoots.
Mated pairs that live together remain monogamous. Single male deer usually mate with nearby females. When males compete for a mate, they fight by biting and stabbing with their short antlers. Brocket species that live in tropical areas have no fixed mating season, but those in temperate areas have a distinct rutting period in the autumn.
The gestation period is roughly 200–220 days and females bear only one fawn at a time. The young stay with the mother, keeping concealed until large enough to accompany her. They are normally weaned around six months of age and reach sexual maturity after a year.

The episode has three stories: "Intrusion of the Pod-y Switchers", "Multiplisa-ty", and "Geriatric Park".
Before the first story, Homer Simpson wins an eating contest against Cthulhu. The Simpson family is later seen eating parts of Cthulhu.
In "Intrusion of the Pod-y Switchers", a parody of Steve Jobs talks about making new types of iPhones. It is later shown that the Steve Jobs parody is actually an alien. He puts spores on Earth that make people turn into plants. Everyone in the town of Springfield is made as plants that look like them. They are taken to a planet without technology.
In "Multiplisa-ty", Lisa gets dissociative identity disorder. She puts Milhouse, Nelson, and Bart in a room similar to a prison cell. When they get out of the cell, Lisa kills Milhouse and Nelson. Lisa tells Bart why she is angry: Bart made her fail a spelling test by changing the answers she put for it. She later chooses not to kill Bart.
In "Geriatric Park", Mr. Burns starts a retirement home. The elderly people in it have their DNA mixed with dinosaurs' DNA. The elderly have been shown to be more healthy and stronger. Homer makes the temperature hotter, which makes the elderly turn into dinosaurs. Mr. Burns and many of the visitors are killed by the dinosaurs. The Simpson family tries to get away from their grandparents, Grampa and Jacqueline. Lisa learns that they can stop the dinosaurs by being nice to them. The family later gets away from the dinosaurs without being hurt.
About 2.95 million people watched the episode when it was first broadcast.
Tony Sokol from Den of Geek thought that the episode was not as good as other "Treehouse of Horror" episodes. He said that the episode had some of the scariest characters (for example, Cthulhu, the dinosaurs) but there was not enough humor in the episode. Dennis Perkins from "The A.V. Club" said that they might have to stop making "Treehouse of Horror" episodes because it stopped being good. Jess Scheden from IGN thoguht that the writers of the episode were not trying to get success from making parodies of horror. Scheden said that the "Treehouse of Horror" episodes could be better if they had a different style (for example, the episode being an hour instead of 30 minutes, only one story instead of three).
