  Discover the remarkable history of the Battle of New Orleans...
   
  The deciding battle of the War of 1812, the Battle of New Orleans, was won by the Americans on January 8, 1815, a few scant weeks after the British and American negotiators signed the Treaty of Ghent that ended the war, at least on paper. Assessed from that perspective, it might be regarded as an unnecessary battle of no importance, but nothing could be further from the truth.Had the British triumphed, it’s likely that they would have exploited their victory by maintaining control of New Orleans and the Mississippi River. The vast expanse of lands sold by Napoleon Bonaparte to Thomas Jefferson in the Louisiana Purchase might have been restored to its original realm, Spain, thereby cutting off the young American nation from westward expansion. Had Great Britain conquered New Orleans, the British would have held a position of dominance on the North American continent; the United States as we know it today might never have reached its status as a world power had its boundaries been tethered by the British.But the British did not win. Instead, the Battle of New Orleans bequeathed to the Americans a destiny which would rival anything the Founding Fathers could have imagined.

  Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus is the founding stone of Western esotericism. Hermes is regarded as being the author of numerous philosophical and spiritual texts, including the Divine Pymander. Even though the historical existence of Hermes is not clear, he has been regarded as the master of wisdom and the initiator of the divine knowledge for centuries. The Divine Pymander is one of the ancient texts attributed to Hermes. The Divine Pymander explains a cosmology and philosophy which blends Egyptian, Greek, and Jewish mystical traditions. It is presented as a dialogue between Hermes and a student who is seeking the divine knowledge. Dialogue includes teachings on the nature of the universe, the soul, and the relationship between humanity and God. The most important central themes of the Divine Pymander is the thought that the cosmos is a manifestation of the divine mind. Furthermore, the human soul is explained as a reflection of this divine intelligence. Hermes tells us that the goal of spiritual practice is to awaken the divine spark within the soul and unite with the divine mind. Spiritual enlightenment includes the purification of the soul by contemplation, prayer and meditation. Hermes also highlights the importance of living a virtuous life, avoiding attachment to material things, cultivation of gratitude and reverence for the divine.

  The Super Cadres - ANC Misrule...

  The ANC’s obsession with cadre deployment and total control has taken South Africa to the brink of destruction. 
    
  After taking power, the ANC implemented its policy of cadre deployment. It sought command of all levers of power, from the Cabinet, through the civil service, down to municipal level. 
    
  Despite the party recently lasing its majority, cadre deployment will ensure that the ANC maintains its iron grip on power and patronage, and it remains fused with the state. 
    
  In The Super Cadres, bestselling author Pieter du Toit exposes how Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki laid the foundation for complete ANC control of the state, how Jacob Zuma's ANC exploited it and why Cyril Ramaphosa is complicit in the destruction that followed. 
    
  It is a searing critique of the ANC's desire for untrammelled power.

  Whose Language Is English?

  Whose language is English? Although we often think of it as native to one place, today there are many Englishes. About seventy-five countries are now using English as their official or first language, and the number of people speaking it around the world continues to rise. But the makeup of the English-speaking population is changing. The proportion of speakers for whom English is a first language is decreasing, due to the explosion in popularity of English as a second language. 
   
   
    
  In this ambitious book, Jieun Kiaer explores the lives of English words in the twenty-first century, when the creation and use of language has become an increasingly dynamic, interactive, and diverse process in which ordinary people have taken leading roles—offering such coinages as "flexitarian," "MeToo," "glow up," and "shitizen" to "No sabo kids" and beyond. As English language grows ever more diverse, Kiaer believes, we need a paradigm shift. We must acknowledge that all varieties of English are languages in their own right when they are used by a community of speakers. English is a language that belongs to everyone. 
   
   
    
  Considering the effects of social media, the Covid-19 pandemic, virtual work, globalization, and artificial intelligence, Kiaer paints a compelling portrait of a rapidly evolving language characterized by creativity and democratization.
