How fearless African American women broke barriers, tamed the frontier, and rewrote Western history
Shattering Myths of the Wild West When most people picture the Wild West, they imagine sheriffs with shiny badges, white cowboys driving herds of cattle, and saloon girls dancing under dim lantern light. Hollywood movies and television created that image and repeated it until it became accepted as fact. But the real West was far more diverse. Among its most overlooked pioneers were Black cowgirls—women who rode, roped, herded cattle, and owned stables at a time when both their race and gender were considered barriers.

Sacred and profane in Mircea Eliade's theory - Alexis karpouzos
In Mircea Eliade’s thought, religion is seen as a universal and fundamental aspect of human existence, characterized by the experience of the sacred and the profane. Eliade believed that religion originates from an irreducible experience of the sacred, which is common to most human beings. This experience seeks outward cultural expression in myths and rituals. He emphasized that religious phenomena must be understood as uniquely and irreducibly religious, expressing meaning on a religious plane of reference.

The Gaslight on Hanover Street
In the early 1800s, Boston was a city in transformation. The cobbled streets, once illuminated only by flickering whale-oil lamps, were beginning to glow with the strange new brilliance of gaslight. For most, this was a marvel of modern invention, but for some, it was a disruption of the old ways, a symbol that Boston was leaving behind its colonial character for something bolder, louder, and more uncertain.

Voynich Manuscript
In 1912, an antiquarian named Wilfrid Voynich purchased a collection of old books from a Jesuit college near Rome. Among them was a manuscript unlike anything the world had ever seen. Its pages were filled with strange looping script, bizarre plants that do not exist on Earth, astronomical diagrams that made little sense, and illustrations of women bathing in mysterious green pools. The book was written in an unknown language, and to this day, more than a century later, no one has been able to read it.

A Light That Shone from the Soil
Today, on the blessed occasion of Defence Day of Pakistan (6th September), I was honored to visit the shrine of my hero, the pride of Swabi and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the great son of Pakistan, Captain Colonel Sher Khan Shaheed (رحمۃ اللہ علیہ), in my own village. For me, this was a matter of immense pride. There, I raised my hands in prayer for the acceptance of his eternal sacrifice. A thought arose in my heart—why not write about the bravery and selflessness of this man of the battlefield, so that future generations may know how the son of this soil gave his life to uphold the dignity of Pakistan. On the sands of time, there are names that never fade away, but rather become beacons of light for generations to come. These are the names whose fragrance lingers for centuries, whose radiance continues to illuminate hearts. Among such names shines brightly the name of Colonel Sher Khan Shaheed (رحمۃ اللہ علیہ)—the crown of Pakistan’s forehead and the proud son of the soil of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, who offered the gift of his life and wrote golden words in the pages of history. Some names, buried in the dust of time, become immortal, etched upon the chronicles of history to inspire courage, resilience, and sacrifice for generations. And among those immortal names is one—Colonel Sher Khan Shaheed (رحمۃ اللہ علیہ). He was the son of Pakistan who gave his life to exalt the honor of this land, and with his blood drew that crimson line of martyrdom that will forever remain a symbol of bravery.

Velask: The First Spark of World War 3
Velask: The First Spark of World War 3” Cold wind clawed at the edge of the Karakorum ridge, carrying ice and sand in equal measure. Dawn light crept weakly across the skyline, illuminating the jagged peaks in dull gold. Border guards in both Naryanov and Velask—once peaceful neighbors—watched through binoculars, breaths invisible in the razor-sharp air. Tension rippled in frozen lines, each soldier a living fuse.
