Alexander the Great
The desert wind stung Alexander’s face as he stared across the endless horizon. Behind him lay an empire that stretched farther than any man before him had ruled—from the sun-baked lands of Egypt to the icy peaks of the Hindu Kush. Yet, even here, at the edge of the known world, he was restless.

UnCompromising Principles
It was a hot summer day in Georgia. The family was doing well. And the family was very happy and joyous. Everyone was making conversations. And everyone was enjoying the family reunion as Franklin planned. He wanted to see all of his family and spend time with them away from the duties of president. And to reside in the beauty of Georgia. And the family caught up and was happy. And they shared all that they were doing and what they hope for in the new year. I never seen Franklin that happy and I never seen him that relief and relax. He made many conversations and he was hopeful. Then his advisers found him on almost the very last day of the reunion. And they calmly interrupted Franklin. And I encouraged the family to go on and celebrate while Franklin and I were removed for principles' purpose. Mr. President and First Lady you do know that the election is coming up next year. Do you plan on still running for President? And Franklin said I haven't given it much thought. I was so forward-looking to see my family. And some politics in Washington has disturb me. It's like Congress has been a hot tea cup like Washington would say. I want to get things done not be caught in a tough-sent or stall games. I know the people want something to be done. And I feel their hopes and dreams. His advisers said Mr. President the Democratic Presidential Nomination is important. And you are a formidable candidate. You might have a chance of winning another term if you really want to Sir. What do you think Madam First Lady? First Lady Eleanor speaks, This is a sensitive time for Franklin and me. Our family has grown so much and we have missed them dearly. Now I am not blind I understand that our country needs social justice. We need to fight this war. We need to bring peace aboard and at home. We both understand the desperate need for resolved. I think you should give us sometime.. Franklin we have to give it serious thoughts. His advisers said Ok Sir and Madam, please tell us know when you are ready. And the advisers left the Roosevelt's ranch in Georgia. And the Roosevelt's family wanted to know why the advisers were there. And Eleanor explained to them that there was nothing wrong and that it just was national duties. And Roosevelt's children wanted to know the details while supporting their parents. However Eleanor did not want the children to get involved. And everyone else left eventually after the reunion however the Roosevelt's children stood at the ranch. And they demanded that their parents tell them what was going on. Franklin would not break unless Eleanor break. And Eleanor eventually won. Until the media came to the Roosevelt's ranch asking about Dr. Berkley Roosevelt. Dr. Berkley Roosevelt was reported working with Republicans and degrading FDR. He was the total opposite of FDR. He was a stern and mean man that never thought much of his cousin FDR. And the media threatened to published Dr. Berkley Roosevelt's interview. Eleanor tried to hold off the media and denounce Dr. Berkley Roosevelt but FDR was told by their eldest child about the issue. And FDR was so mad that he got up and walk to the door. And he cursed out the media and told them to get the heck off his private property. Eleanor eventually got him inside. And FDR called up his advisers hours and hours. As Eleanor sat in the office of their ranch, then he suddenly hung up. And said Ellie what do you think we should do? Eleanor was nervous got up and walk around with her hand on her chin. And it was morning, and immediately their eldest daughter showed her mother the paper with Dr. Berkley Roosevelt's interview. FDR was worried. And Eleanor tried to convince him till she locked him in the room and she tried to tell him straight, run Franklin run for your dignity. And FDR called up his advisers and he ran for the Democratic Presidential Nomination.

The Forgotten Sentence That Rewrote the Universe
For over two millennia, a single sentence tormented the greatest minds in mathematics. It was neither a riddle nor a cryptic prophecy, but a postulate Euclid’s Fifth. Buried in a sea of clarity, it stood out as the odd one, the clunky exception in an otherwise elegant list of axioms. And for 2,000 years, mathematicians were obsessed with a singular goal: to prove it was unnecessary.

The Ophanim: Unraveling the Mystery of the Wheel Angels
The Ophanim: Unraveling the Mystery of the Wheel Angels When we picture an angel, we often envision a serene figure with magnificent wings, a gentle countenance, and a benevolent aura. But within the celestial hierarchy, there exists an order of angels whose appearance is far more abstract, powerful, and enigmatic. These are the Ophanim, the so-called "wheel angels," whose very form defies human understanding and whose purpose is tied to the most profound mystery of the divine throne.

Famine Unfolding Across Gaza, Says Global Hunger Monitor
Global Hunger Monitor reports that famine is spreading throughout Gaza. According to a new report from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a global organization that monitors hunger, a humanitarian crisis is engulfing Gaza as famine conditions spread throughout the territory. For hundreds of thousands of civilians, widespread malnutrition, hunger, and starvation are now a dire reality, according to the report, which warns that large segments of the population in Gaza are experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity. The IPC, which classifies food insecurity into five phases—ranging from minimal to famine—has placed much of Gaza in Phase 5: Catastrophe/Famine. Extreme hunger, acute malnutrition, and excessive mortality are all indicators of this phase. The situation, the IPC notes, is unprecedented in modern history in terms of speed, scale, and severity.
