  Ten years after the start of the Malian crisis, political and security instability in the Sahel have changed in scale and nature, and spilled over across national frontiers. The border region between Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger has become the new epicentre of insecurity.
  The comeback of military actors on the political scene, and the support provided by large parts of the population to post-coup military juntas is evidence of poor governance and a severe deterioration in the legitimacy of elected authorities. In this complex scenario, the initiatives of external partners affect regional balances, making the Sahel a major theatre for power competition.
  How did the crisis evolve over the past decade? What are the main drivers behind local, regional and international dynamics? What prospects for regional stability?

  Taíno Civilization - The...

  The origins of the Taíno people trace back thousands of years to the migrations of Arawakan-speaking groups from South America. Anthropologists and archaeologists believe that the ancestors of the Taíno first emerged in the Orinoco River basin, in what is now Venezuela, before gradually expanding into the Caribbean. These early settlers, known as the Saladoid culture, navigated the waterways of the Caribbean in dugout canoes, moving from the mainland to the Lesser Antilles and eventually reaching the Greater Antilles, where they established permanent settlements. 
  As they adapted to their new island environments, these early migrants developed a distinct culture that would later be recognized as the Taíno civilization. Over generations, they refined agricultural techniques suited to the tropical climate, cultivating staple crops like cassava, maize, and sweet potatoes. Their knowledge of fishing, hunting, and foraging allowed them to thrive in the diverse ecosystems of the Caribbean, from coastal regions to inland forests. 
  By the time Europeans arrived in the late 15th century, the Taíno were the dominant indigenous group across the islands of Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, eastern Cuba, and the Bahamas. Their society had evolved into a structured and hierarchical system led by caciques, or chiefs, who governed villages known as yucayeques. These settlements varied in size, with some growing into major centers of trade, religion, and politics. The Taíno also developed a rich spiritual belief system centered around ancestor worship and nature deities, a tradition that can be traced back to their South American roots.

  The Twisted History of the GOP

  A two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning cartoonist shreds the GOP’s record of backward policies and abysmal leaders. Luckovich takes aim at the NRA, Trump, Bush, Ted Cruz, and more.
  		 
  The Twisted History of the GOP is an editorial cartoon exploration into the ongoing crack-up of the Republican party. Once a proud, competent counterbalance to the Democratic party, the GOP began to change in the ’90s with the arrival of Republican representative and future House Speaker Newt Gingrich to Congress, assisted by radical radio host Rush Limbaugh and a new television network, the right-wing, propaganda-spewing Fox News. In the years that followed, they were aided by Mitch McConnell and the George W. Bush and Trump administrations, in transforming the GOP into what it is now: a fascist, racist, anti-science, pro-conspiracy cult, in thrall to the twice-impeached conman and former president, Donald Trump.
  		 
  These cartoons will shock and delight you, and you won’t be able to look away from Luckovich’s witty editorial wisdom. Combining a rapier wit alongside exceptional caricatures, The Twisted History of the GOP will make you laugh until you cry.

  Meditations

  Marcus Aurelius

  Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
  Meditations is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from AD 161 to 180, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy. 
  Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in Koine Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180. Some of it was written while he was positioned at Aquincum on campaign in Pannonia, because internal notes reveal that the first book was written when he was campaigning against the Quadi on the river Granova (modern-day Hron in Slovakia) and the second book was written at Carnuntum. 
  It is unlikely that Marcus Aurelius ever intended the writings to be published. The work has no official title, so "Meditations" is one of several titles commonly assigned to the collection. These writings take the form of quotations varying in length from one sentence to long paragraphs.
