No Time for Sorrow
Mara was a medical caretaker — a title she'd worn proudly once. Be that as it may, presently, she felt more like a scrounger. Supplies were waning, and she expected to return food and medication once again to the facility. She lacked the opportunity and energy to contemplate the companions she'd lost, or the patients she wasn't ready to save. There was no time for anguish. Consistently spent grieving was a second squandered, and in circumstances such as these, seconds could mean endurance.

THE LEGACY OF MOORISH SPAIN
The Queen of Castille sits regally on a somewhat bewildered-looking white steed, crown perched prominently on her head. Her eyes are drawn to the ochre-coloured castle gleaming brightly in late November sunlight on a distant hill. Her husband, the King of Aragon, leans forward on his horse with his hand out ready to accept the hefty keys reluctantly proffered by the last Nasrid ruler of the final bastion of Moorish rule in Al Andalus, Boabdil. Though spared the humiliation of kissing the monarch’s hand, the Moor's eyes seem to be silently pleading, “Remember what you promised.”

The Lost Art of Being Human: Why the Humanities Matter More Than Ever??
In a world governed by technology and dominated by data, where algorithms predict our tastes and metrics measure our worth, the humanities may seem like relics of a slower, more thoughtful age. When people talk about “the future,” it’s often painted in the sterile colors of computer science, finance, and engineering—a world where efficiency, not empathy, leads the charge. And yet, the humanities hold answers to questions that science can’t fully grasp: What does it mean to live a good life? How do we understand love, loss, and the inexplicable weight of human experience? Why, in a world of constant connection, do we feel so alone?
