Most of the Oceanian islands in the map were formed after the Continental Drift, makes me wonder what was the past and future for similar islands

(Excluding New Zealand, Australia, New Caledonia, and Papua New Guinea), many Oceanian islands formed after the major phases of continental drift. These islands are mainly volcanic islands or coral atolls, including Hawaii, Kiribati, French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, Samoa, American Samoa, Tokelau, Niue, Nauru, the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Wallis and Futuna, Tonga, Vanuatu, the Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, Fiji, and Pitcairn.

Past: Similar volcanic islands may also have existed in different parts of the world during the Pangaea era. What happened to them over geological time? Were they destroyed by tectonic activity and continental drift, submerged beneath the ocean, or transformed into other geological structures?

Future: What could happen to these modern Oceanian islands over the next hundred million years, assuming they are not submerged earlier by rising sea levels? Since they are not continental fragments, will they eventually erode away, sink beneath the ocean, and merge into tectonic boundaries?

In the thirty years war, Catholic forces had decisive advantage until Sweden intervened and shifted the balance (SABATON fans unite!!)

The Thirty Years War began in 1618. Catholic forces held a significant advantage by 1630. With Swedish intervention in the Battle of Breitenfeld (1631), their allies decisively defeated the Catholic league, preventing a total Catholic takeover.

CPM should ditch their Left Front allies or merge them? Lets discuss (West Bengal)

In the Left Front (excluding CPM), CPI, FB and RSP contests too. In the recent assembly elections:

  • CPI got 99,223 in 17 seats, RSP got 64,209 in 18 seats. Even if combined, it is not enough to win a single Assembly seat in West Bengal too. And these two parties are expecting 2 seats each in the next Lok Sabha Elections (btw which requires about 6 Lac votes minimum to win a seat in WB).
  • FB contested 24 seats and received 176,980 votes, and they are expecting to contest 3 Lok Sabha seats.
  • The ally ISF, even if you like it or not. They are in a strong position to potentially win 2 Lok Sabha seats with the support of the Left.
  • The question is what is the CPM getting from these parties of the Left Front?: These three parties get about 8 out of 42 seats, and end up disappointing heavily in all of them, without even the slightest glimmer of hope.

In that condition, should CPM forcefully consider asking them either to merge or finally they should take a hard call and part ways? Even if they go out of the front, I don't expect them to have a significant impact on politics. (Even during the Left Front era, the seats these parties won, had a due credit of CPM cadres).

For the future, CPM can consider building their own strength independently across the map? To be honest, among the Left Front only CPM gets some footage, activism and street presence. If the other parties can't put out that effort independently, it's no brainer to rely on someone for now. 2029 will be interesting to check out: Is CPM going to ally ISF and Congress? How many seats are they going to win, considering TMC losing ground.

Milo joked that had Cicero delivered the revised and polished speech, he would have won the case.

He lost, and Milo had to live in ex ile in Massilia, and he enjoyed the mullets of Massilia, which was impossible without losing that case.

Titus Annius Milo was convi cted and exi led in 52 BC primarily for the m urder of his political enemy, the populist leader Publius Clodius Pulcher, on the Via Appia. Cicero acted in his defense, but couldn't win the argument. Later he rephrased the entire speech.

Gen Dallaire sent Genocide Fax warning about the upcoming plans. He requested to seize weapon caches. But UN....

But the UN asked him not to take offensive actions, instructed him to share intelligence with Rwandan authorities (many of them were involved in those plannings), and reduced the size of troops during critical phase of early genocide.

Shriking Muslim representation across Legislative assemblies of India

https://www.instagram.com/p/DYJHhEtEVF\_/

For reference. West Bengal has around 28% Muslims per population, and they have 13% representation in 2026. Which used to be 20% in 2014.

Uttar Pradesh with 20% Muslims as per population has only 8% representation in 2026, which used to be 16% in 2014.

Kerala has 27% Muslim Population, which had almost near perfect representation of around 26% in 2014, but slightly dropped to 24% in 2026.
