Cleitarchus
The narrative of Alexander the Great has been recounted for centuries, yet few of his historians are as contentious and fascinating as Cleitarchus. Although his original writings have been lost to history, his impact endures through the works of later historians who drew upon his vivid, albeit occasionally embellished, accounts. Cleitarchus’ depiction of Alexander’s victories contributed to the legendary image of the Macedonian ruler, merging reality with dramatic expression. This essay examines Cleitarchus’ life, his role in shaping Alexander’s historiography, and the ongoing discussion regarding his credibility as a historical source.

The Odyssey
The story The Odyssey does not follow a linear chronology. The reader begins in the middle of the tale, learning about previous events only through Odysseus’s retelling. The first four books set the scene in Ithaca. Penelope, Odysseus’s wife, and their young son, Telemachus, are powerless before her arrogant suitors as they despair of Odysseus’s return from the siege of Troy. Telemachus is searching for news of his father, who has not been heard from since he left for war nearly 20 years earlier. He journeys secretly to the Peloponnese and seeks out two men who fought with Odysseus in the war at Troy, Nestor and Menelaus, and discovers that his father is indeed still alive.

Dengue: The Fastest Growing Mosquito-Borne Disease in the World. AI-Generated.
In a world already facing multiple health crises, one silent killer continues to surge across borders, fueled by climate change, urbanization, and global travel. Dengue — once confined to a few tropical and subtropical regions — has now become the fastest-growing mosquito-borne disease on Earth. Its rapid spread and increasing severity pose a serious threat to global public health. What is Dengue? Dengue is a viral infection caused by the dengue virus (DENV), which belongs to the Flaviviridae family. It is transmitted primarily by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, a species notorious for its ability to adapt to urban environments. There are four known serotypes of the virus — DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4. Infection with one serotype usually provides lifelong immunity to that specific type but not to the others. If a person is infected with a different serotype later, it significantly increases the risk of developing severe dengue, which can be fatal. Global Spread: From Local Outbreaks to Worldwide Epidemics The global burden of dengue has increased dramatically in recent decades. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 390 million dengue infections occur each year, with nearly 100 million people developing clinical symptoms. Dengue is now endemic in over 100 countries, with Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, the Caribbean, and Latin America bearing the highest burden. In recent years, dengue has also appeared in places where it was previously unknown — including parts of Europe and North America, fueled by rising temperatures and changing ecosystems. Symptoms: More Than Just a Fever Dengue is often called “breakbone fever” due to the intense muscle and joint pain it causes. The symptoms typically appear 4–10 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito and may include: Sudden high fever (up to 104°F or 40°C) Severe headache Pain behind the eyes Joint and muscle pain Skin rash (appears a few days after fever starts) Nausea and vomiting Fatigue and weakness Mild bleeding (nose, gums, or easy bruising) While many cases resolve within a week, some can progress to severe dengue, formerly known as dengue hemorrhagic fever. This life-threatening form includes: Severe bleeding Organ damage Plasma leakage leading to shock Difficulty breathing Sudden drop in blood pressure (dengue shock syndrome) Children, the elderly, and those with previous dengue infections are at higher risk of developing complications. Why Is Dengue Spreading So Rapidly? Several global trends have contributed to the explosive growth of dengue:

The Giants of New Mexico: A Forgotten Discovery from 1902 And It's Kept Secrets.
New York Times Shows Proof Of Giants In the spring of 1902, the New York Times published an article that would shackle society and today sound more like the opening of a lost Indiana Jones movie rather than a factual news report.

Why Do They Fear Political Islam?
Start writing...Islam is not just a religious doctrine from the beginning - but a complete way of life. It offers people not only spiritual liberation, but also social justice, political leadership and a picture of a society without discrimination. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) called for religion in Mecca, it was not just a message of self-purification for a single individual - but a call for change at all levels of Arab society. Islam establishes a state, formulates laws, reforms society, and lays the foundation for an exceptional system of governance in the world. Therefore, Islam has never been just a 'religion of individual worship'.
