My daughter married a Korean man when she was 21. She hasn’t been home for twelve years, but every year, she sends $100,000.
This Christmas, I decided to visit her in secret. When I opened the door to her house, I froze in my track...

The Japanese Empire at its greatest extent.
Some believe that China was colonized by Japan, but this is incorrect; only parts of it were colonized, while most of the country continued to fight until the end of the war.
Saudi Arabia is ramping up recruitment of skilled African professionals, particularly from South Africa, to support expanding healthcare and infrastructure projects.
Job postings targeting South Africans have nearly tripled year-on-year, showing a 174% increase.
Under its Vision 2030 plan, Saudi Arabia aims to grow its healthcare workforce by roughly 175,000 workers by 2030.
South African professionals are sought after for their qualifications, competitive labor costs, multilingual skills, and English proficiency.
No sovereign U.S. military bases exist in Saudi Arabia today—none are U.S.-owned or operated as permanent installations.
Prince Sultan Air Base (PSAB, ~60km south of Riyadh) is fully Saudi-owned. U.S. forces (~2,300 troops as of recent 2024-2026 data) are hosted there by bilateral agreement for air/missile defense (Patriot/THAAD), training, and support aircraft ops. U.S. vacated full control in 2003; no combat basing rights for invasions etc.
No other U.S. bases in KSA.

The Great Migration: How the Foundations of the English-Speaking World Were Laid
Ever wonder why we speak English and not a Roman or Celtic tongue? The answer lies in a chaotic, transformative period between the 5th and 7th centuries. When the Roman Empire’s grip on Britain slipped, a vacuum was left behind—one that was filled by the bold seafaring tribes of Northern Europe: the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes.
This wasn't just a military invasion; it was a total cultural reset. From the shores of modern-day Denmark and Northern Germany, these tribes crossed the treacherous North Sea to seek new land, eventually pushing the native Britons to the fringes and creating the "Heptarchy"—the seven kingdoms that would one day become England.
Whether you're a history buff or just curious about where our modern traditions and language began, this map tracks the very first steps of the journey that would eventually reach the shores of America centuries later.
The Foundations of a New World: The Anglo-Saxon Migration (449–600 CE)
To understand the United States today—its laws, its literature, and its primary language—one must look back nearly 1,600 years to the foggy coastlines of the North Sea. The migration of the Germanic tribes to the British Isles is perhaps one of the most consequential movements of people in Western history. It was a period marked by the collapse of an old superpower, the arrival of opportunistic warriors, and the slow, grinding birth of a new identity. This is the story of how Britain became "England" and how the seeds of the English-speaking world were first planted.
In 410 CE, the Roman Empire was crumbling. Under pressure from "barbarian" tribes closer to home, the Emperor Honorius sent a letter to the cities of Britain, famously telling them to "look to their own defenses." For nearly four centuries, Rome had provided a professional military, legal infrastructure, and a sense of global connectivity. When the legions left, they took the stability with them.
Britain was left vulnerable. To the north, the Picts and Scots began raiding deeper into the lowlands. According to the monk-historian Bede, a British leader named Vortigern made a fateful decision:
The invited Germanic mercenaries from the mainland to help defend his lands. He offered them territory in exchange for protection. It was an invitation that changed the course of history forever. Once the first wave of warriors realized how fertile and poorly defended the island was, the trickle of mercenaries turned into a flood of settlers.
As shown in map, the migration was primarily driven by three distinct groups, each bringing their own dialects and customs. Hailing from the region of Angeln (modern-day Schleswig-Holstein in Germany), they were perhaps the most numerous. They settled in the north and east, founding the kingdoms of Northumbria, Mercia, and East Anglia. It is from this tribe that names "England" (Engla-lond) and "English" (Englisc) are derived.
Coming from the sprawling plains of Northern Germany, the Saxons were fierce warriors and prolific settlers. They moved into the south and west of Britain, establishing Wessex (West Saxons), Sussex (South Saxons), and Essex (East Saxons). Their legacy survived in the title of the "Anglo-Saxon" people and heavily influenced the legal and social structures of the early English state.
The smallest of the three main groups, the Jutes traveled from the Jutland peninsula (modern Denmark). They settled in Kent and the Isle of Wight. Though fewer in number, they maintained a distinct cultural identity for generations, and the Kingdom of Kent became a vital gateway for the reintroduction of Christianity to the island later on.

Bayer Leverkusen's striker, Victor Boniface, was on the verge of marrying the Norwegian Rikke Ermind, but the wedding fell apart due to a heated dispute.
Ermind insisted on getting married without a prenuptial agreement,
which would mean that in the event of a divorce, everything would be split equally between them.
Boniface didn't object because he simply doesn't own anything in his own name— all his assets are registered under his mother's name!
