Today, President Trump, at the invitation of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, met with Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa. President Erdogan of Turkey joined by phone. President Erdogan praised President Trump for lifting sanctions on Syria and committed to working alongside Saudi Arabia to encourage peace and prosperity in Syria. The Crown Prince also commended President Trump for his decision to lift the sanctions, calling it courageous. President Trump thanked President Erdogan and the Crown Prince for their friendship, and told President Al-Sharaa that he has a tremendous opportunity to do something historic in his country. President Trump encouraged President Al-Sharaa to do a great job for the Syrian people, and urged him to:
1. Sign onto the Abraham Accords with Israel
2. Tell all foreign terrorists to leave Syria
3. Deport Palestinian terrorists
4. Help the United States to prevent the resurgence of ISIS
5. Assume responsibility for ISIS detention centers in Northeast Syria
President Al-Sharaa thanked President Trump, the Crown Prince, and President Erdogan for their efforts to put together the meeting, and recognized the significant opportunity presented by the Iranians leaving Syria, as well as shared U.S.-Syrian interests in countering terrorism and eliminating chemical weapons. President Al-Sharaa affirmed his commitment to the 1974 disengagement with Israel. President Al-Sharaa concluded with his hope that Syria would serve as a critical link in facilitating trade between east and west, and invited American companies to invest in Syrian oil and gas.
The Russia-Ukraine war and the war in Gaza was also discussed.

I hear you on formating HTML - much easier to do pix apart from text
I miss being able to add pix
I’ll bet Trumps USSS team had fits or at worse heart attacks over him riding around in that golf-cart type vehicle
Reading at Israel sites one is aware Israel is pretty concerned that on this trip there will be any support from 47 of Palestinian state or seeking a cease fire. Israel intends to finish the job in Gaza and eliminate Hamas
Tiffany( not 47 daughter rather the glass artist)
Been a life long fan. My many years in Ohio I learned of him and visited his work when possible. There is a great collection at the Cleveland Art Museum and a gorgeous window at the Wade Chapel at Lakeview-one of my two favorite cemeteries (Arlington)
Mr Tiffany designed the complete interior of the chapel.

Louis Comfort Tiffany, born into an affluent family in New York City in 1848, he lived until 1933. His father, Charles Lewis Tiffany, founded Tiffany jewelers and fine goods.
Louis Comfort was trained as a painter. He went on to work in interior design, notably designing the inside of Mark Twain’s House in Hartford, CT in 1881 and several rooms in the White House in 1882.
In 1885 he began working with glass and sold the first Tiffany lamp that year. He developed a process to create opalescent glass that he called Favrile in his factory in Queens.
He used the same process, from the 11-12th century when glass workers were creating the gothic cathedral windows, which surrounds each individual piece of glass in a came metal strip which is soldered to the adjoining piece.
He used copper foil not the more popular lead.
Louis Comfort also employed many women artisans in his 300 person workforce and the Tiffany Girls worked in the Women’s Glass Cutting Department where they chose the glass to be used and painstakingly cut the pieces.
Clara Driscoll (1861-1944) was the supervisor for much of 20 years from 1888-1909 and is credited with many of the more famous organic designs.
Pictured are three lamps from the collection of the New York Historical Society, two windows from the Morse Museum in Winter Park, Florida and an additional lamp from the Museum of the American Arts and Crafts Movement.

Health - Heart Attack -
Story and good advice — long but I believe valuable information
Men - share with wife if you feel valuable
<>
Here is a warning for all from an ER nurse who says, this is the best description of a woman having a heart attack that she has ever heard. Please read, pay attention, and SHARE..........
FEMALE HEART ATTACKS
I was aware that female heart attacks are different, but this is the best description I’ve ever read.
Women rarely have the same dramatic symptoms that men have ... you know, the sudden stabbing pain in the chest, the cold sweat, grabbing the chest & dropping to the floor that we see in movies. Here is the story of one woman’s experience with a heart attack.
I had a heart attack at about 10:30 PM with NO prior exertion, NO prior emotional trauma that one would suspect might have brought it on. I was sitting all snugly & warm on a cold evening, with my purring cat in my lap, reading an interesting story my friend had sent me, and actually thinking, ‘A-A-h, this is the life, all cozy and warm in my soft, cushy Lazy Boy with my feet propped up.
A moment later, I felt that awful sensation of indigestion, when you’ve been in a hurry and grabbed a bite of sandwich and washed it down with a dash of water, and that hurried bite seems to feel like you’ve swallowed a golf ball going down the esophagus in slow motion and it is most uncomfortable. You realize you shouldn’t have gulped it down so fast and needed to chew it more thoroughly and this time drink a glass of water to hasten its progress down to the stomach. This was my initial sensation—the only trouble was that I hadn’t taken a bite of anything since about 5:00 p.m.
After it seemed to subside, the next sensation was like little squeezing motions that seemed to be racing up my SPINE (hind-sight, it was probably my aorta spasms), gaining speed as they continued racing up and under my sternum (breast bone, where one presses rhythmically when administering CPR).
This fascinating process continued on into my throat and branched out into both jaws. ‘AHA!! NOW I stopped puzzling about what was happening — we all have read and/or heard about pain in the jaws being one of the signals of an MI happening, haven’t we? I said aloud to myself and the cat, Dear God, I think I’m having a heart attack!
I lowered the foot rest dumping the cat from my lap, started to take a step and fell on the floor instead. I thought to myself, If this is a heart attack, I shouldn’t be walking into the next room where the phone is or anywhere else... but, on the other hand, if I don’t, nobody will know that I need help, and if I wait any longer I may not be able to get up in a moment.
I pulled myself up with the arms of the chair, walked slowly into the next room and dialed the Paramedics... I told her I thought I was having a heart attack due to the pressure building under the sternum and radiating into my jaws. I didn’t feel hysterical or afraid, just stating the facts. She said she was sending the Paramedics over immediately, asked if the front door was near to me, and if so, to un-bolt the door and then lie down on the floor where they could see me when they came in.
I unlocked the door and then laid down on the floor as instructed and lost consciousness, as I don’t remember the medics coming in, their examination, lifting me onto a gurney or getting me into their ambulance, or hearing the call they made to St. Jude ER on the way, but I did briefly awaken when we arrived and saw that the radiologist was already there in his surgical blues and cap, helping the medics pull my stretcher out of the ambulance. He was bending over me asking questions (probably something like ‘Have you taken any medications?’) but I couldn’t make my mind interpret what he was saying, or form an answer, and nodded off again, not waking up until the Cardiologist and partner had already threaded the teeny angiogram balloon up my femoral artery into the aorta and into my heart where they installed 2 side by side stints to hold open my right coronary artery.
I know it sounds like all my thinking and actions at home must have taken at least 20-30 minutes before calling the paramedics, but actually it took perhaps 4-5 minutes before the call, and both the fire station and St Jude are only minutes away from my home, and my Cardiologist was already to go to the OR in his scrubs and get going on restarting my heart (which had stopped somewhere between my arrival and the procedure) and installing the stents.
Why have I written all of this to you with so much detail? Because I want all of you who are so important in my life to know what I learned first hand.
1. Be aware that something very different is happening in your body, not the usual men’s symptoms but inexplicable things happening (until my sternum and jaws got into the act). It is said that many more women than men die of their first (and last) MI because they didn’t know they were having one and commonly mistake it as indigestion, take some Maalox or other anti-heartburn preparation and go to bed, hoping they’ll feel better in the morning when they wake up... which doesn’t happen. My female friends, your symptoms might not be exactly like mine, so I advise you to call the Paramedics if ANYTHING is unpleasantly happening that you’ve not felt before. It is better to have a ‘false alarm’ visitation than to risk your life guessing what it might be!
2. Note that I said ‘Call the Paramedics.’ And if you can take an aspirin. Ladies, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!
Do NOT try to drive yourself to the ER - you are a hazard to others on the road.
Do NOT have your panicked husband who will be speeding and looking anxiously at what’s happening with you instead of the road.
Do NOT call your doctor — he doesn’t know where you live and if it’s at night you won’t reach him anyway, and if it’s daytime, his assistants (or answering service) will tell you to call the Paramedics. He doesn’t carry the equipment in his car that you need to be saved! The Paramedics do, principally OXYGEN that you need ASAP. Your Dr. will be notified later.
3. Don’t assume it couldn’t be a heart attack because you have a normal cholesterol count. Research has discovered that a cholesterol elevated reading is rarely the cause of an MI (unless it’s unbelievably high and/or accompanied by high blood pressure). MIs are usually caused by long-term stress and inflammation in the body, which dumps all sorts of deadly hormones into your system to sludge things up in there. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let’s be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive.
A cardiologist says if everyone who sees this post would Share or re-post, you can be sure that we’ll save at least one life.
*Please be a true friend and SHARE this article to all your friends, women & men too. Most men have female loved ones and could greatly benefit from know this information

Qatar signs an agreement with Boeing to purchase 160 aircraft — the largest order in the American company’s history

In a statement with the Emir of Qatar, President Trump outlined all the topics they discussed - Iran, Russia, Ukraine, and more, without a single word about Gaza and Israel.
The rumors that Trump will recognize a Palestinian state were proven to be Fake News!

I hear commentators saying that Trump dumped Bibi for the Saudis.
So let’s calm down for a moment.
Anyone who understands a little about speeches knows: you speak to your audience. Trump didn’t come to Saudi Arabia to pay homage to Israel – he came to promote huge deals. His audience there can’t hear too much pro-Israel, and the Saudis also need to show their public that Trump speaks “balancedly.”
And as proof? We haven’t heard a word of condemnation from the Saudis about the attack on Gaza. Why? Because they too know where the line with Trump is.
So not every speech is a policy. Sometimes you just have to know when to be quiet – and when to speak to the audience.

Stunning, wonderful works of art. Thanks so much for this post. The Cleveland link didn't work for me, but I found this one:

Here is a short VIDEO about the Tiffany stained glass windows lovingly preserved at the magnificent Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC.
“Qatar signs an agreement with Boeing to purchase 160 aircraft ...”
Boeing can’t seem to get the new Air Force 1 done it makes me wonder how they are going to get 160 done for Qatar.
“The Cleveland link didn’t work for me,...”
They didn’t work for me either. Thanks for posting this video. The stained glass windows are so beautiful.
