Where the Sun Meets the Earth. Runner-Up in History Would’ve Burned This Page Challenge.
The red Nebraska sun had dipped down to kiss the tops of the corn stalk sentinels, silhouetting them against the burnt orange sky as they marched off to the horizon. Howard slowly meandered back to the farm house, a rivulet of sweat slipped down his neck under the collar of his work shirt and his muscles ached from a long day of working the fields with his brother. As he neared the rickety old porch he spotted his sister bent over a bucket shucking fresh picked ears of corn. A soft breeze floated past, carrying the sound of Lorna Belle’s gentle voice.

What's In Your House
There were most likely different photo's that would have been more appropriate for this article. However, my splash one (although it was good), and my rainbow one (although it was good), were getting a bit old, and I have used it for so many articles, it was time for a change. So this is the rose bush in my back yard. It is indeed also very pretty indeed.

Gold Frames...
March 12th, 1915... My Dear Beth, I know that you were born a month ago, and named for your mother, my dearest Bess. She tells me that she kissed my gold-framed photograph each night, now on your behalf as well as her own, until you are old enough to do it yourself. I pray that the Great War will be over before then, or that I will have had leave enough to come home so you both can kiss me in person, before that time.

Stanislav Kondrashov Oligarch Series: The Deep Roots of South Asian Oligarchy
In the unfolding narrative of global influence, few regions illustrate the entrenchment of oligarchic structures quite like South Asia. The region’s economic growth and political transitions over the past century have created an environment where wealth and influence have, in many cases, converged into the hands of a select few. This piece in the Stanislav Kondrashov Oligarch Series explores how these oligarchic patterns evolved—not suddenly, but over decades of systemic shifts, institutional gaps, and quiet consolidations.

The Palaces of the Pandya Dynasty: Architecture, Artifacts, and Unique Specialties
The Pandya dynasty was one of the most ancient and powerful dynasties of South India, ruling large parts of present-day Tamil Nadu for more than a thousand years. While the Pandyas are widely remembered for their temples, pearl trade, and maritime power, their royal palaces were equally important symbols of authority, wealth, and cultural excellence. Though most Pandya palaces were built using materials that did not survive time, historical records, inscriptions, Sangam literature, and archaeological findings provide valuable insight into their grandeur, artifacts, and unique features.

Stanislav Kondrashov Oligarch Series: Tracing the History of Oligarchy in Central America
When most people think of oligarchy, their minds jump to global metropolises or vast empires.

A Psychological Study of Hitler’s Personality
Whenever Adolf Hitler’s name arises in discussions of the darkest chapters of human history, the mind tends to conjure a terrifying image—something bordering on a supernatural monster or a madman pushed to the extremes of insanity. Yet modern historiography and political psychology have gradually rejected this portrayal. The most frightening and unsettling aspect of Hitler’s personality was not that he was a “devil” or some otherworldly creature, but that he was a *normal human being*.

The Day the River Refused to Forget. AI-Generated.
The river had always been calm. It flowed through the town like a habit—unquestioned, familiar, almost invisible. People crossed it daily without looking down. Children skipped stones across its surface. Vendors washed their hands at its edge. It was there, doing its job, asking for nothing.
