It was an Honor to spend time with Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa, the new President of Syria, where we discussed all the intricacies of PEACE in the Middle East, of which he is a major advocate. I look forward to meeting and speaking again. Everyone is talking about the Great Miracle that is taking place in the Middle East. Having a stable and successful Syria is very important to all countries in the Region.

Major Themes in Animal Farm
• Power Corrupts: The pigs begin as liberators but become tyrants, twisting “All animals are equal” into “Some animals are more equal than others.”
• Betrayed Revolution: The dream of equality collapses as the pigs mirror the humans they replaced.
• Propaganda: Squealer manipulates language and truth to control thought and justify lies.
• Class Inequality: A new elite (pigs and dogs) emerges while others remain exploited.
• Ignorance as Control: The animals’ lack of education keeps them submissive and easy to deceive.
• Cycle of Tyranny: The rebellion ends where it began with oppression under new masters.

"There are also anomalous statements in Indian texts whose origin is not understood. Just to mention a few: the correct speed of light, the correct distance to the sun, cosmological cycles that broadly correspond to the numbers accepted currently, the fact that the sun and the moon are approximately 108 times their respective diameters from the earth, the correct number of species on earth (about 8.4 million), and so on. Historians either ignore them or say that they are extraordinary coincidences. We will come to these anomalies later in the essay.
"To return to the history of mainstream science, the discovery of infinite series and calculus by Newton and Leibniz heralded the Scientific Revolution that was to change the world. But new research has shown that over two centuries prior the Kerala School of Mathematics had already developed calculus and some historians suggest that this and advanced astronomical knowledge from Kerala went abroad via the Jesuits and provided the spark for its further development in Europe. Other historians discount this saying that clear proof of the transmission of this knowledge to Europe is lacking."

TIL that William the Conqueror died of internal injuries as a result of his horse throwing his "protruding stomach" onto the forward part (pommel) of the saddle. He also had his possessions ransacked by his servants who left his body naked on the floor of his home.

In late autumn 1942, following the failure of the summer blitzkrieg of 1942 and brutal street-to-street fighting for every quarter of the city, the German command launched one last attempt to turn the tide. The main assault was carried out by units of General Paulus’s 6th Army, supported by the 14th Tank Corps. Their goal was to break through to the Volga in the northern part of the city, near the Tractor and Barricade plants, where the 62nd Army under General Vasily Chuikov held its ground.
The last act of German initiative and its final attempt to seize the city failed. The German forces exhausted their reserves and could not reach the Volga. Just ten days later, on 19 November, the Soviet counter-offensive Operation Uranus began, encircling the 6th Army in the Stalingrad pocket.
⚔️ After November 11, 1942, the Wehrmacht’s offensive spirit was spent – from then on, it could only fight defensively. The turning point of the entire Second World War on the Eastern Front was was drawing near...

CSS Shenandoah Surrenders to British government in Liverpool England marking the end to the War to Prevent Southern Independence.
The Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies in the War of Rebellion November 5 – Arrived in the Mersey, off Liverpool, and on Monday, the 6th, surrendered the Shenandoah to the British nation, by letter to Lord John Russell, premier of Great Britain. (signed) JAMES I WADDELL.[13]
THE CONFEDERATE CRUISER SHENANDOAH IN THE MERSEY. Considerable excitement was caused on 'Change yesterday morning by circulation of the report that the Confederate cruiser Shenandoah, of whose exploits amongst the American whalers in the North Pacific so much has been heard, was passed about 8 o'clock by the steamer Douglas at anchor at the bar, of Victoria Channel, apparently waiting for high water. By many the report was discredited, it being thought that those on board the Douglas were in error, and had mistaken some other craft for the celebrated ex-Confederate cruiser. At half past ten, however, all doubts on the point were set at rest, with the Shenandoah steaming up the Victoria Channel with the Palmetto flag flying from her masthead.[9] from The Virginia Flaggers
