The story of the Red Cow is well-known to everyone. It is a cow mentioned in the Old Testament. Perhaps you have seen the episode and witnessed the red cows, or maybe you already knew about them.

And the shocking secret you might be unaware of—is the term "temple" truly linked to Syria, Yemen, Ethiopia, and Yasser Arafat? The questions are many and complex, but I must try to connect them so that you can understand the truth and be informed of every detail in this battle.

Scientists Discover Lost Works of Apollonius in Arabic Manuscript
Scientists Discover Lost Works of Apollonius in Arabic Manuscript Scientists have uncovered two highly significant but previously lost books by the Greek mathematician Apollonius, known in the ancient world as The Great Geometer. These works were found in an Arabic manuscript preserved in the Leiden University Libraries in the Netherlands. This revelation is part of a recently published book Prophets Poets and Scholars which consists of 50 chapters and is published by Leiden University Press. Apollonius 262 BC – 190 BC is considered one of Greece’s greatest mathematicians. His famous book The Conics of Apollonius introduced the concepts of hyperbola ellipse and parabola. The rediscovered manuscript contains books 5 and 7 of his work which had been lost to European scholars during the Renaissance.

He brought them to Leiden University as part of a collection of over 200 Arabic manuscripts.

Land Expropriation Without Compensation
Land Expropriation Without Compensation: A New Generation’s Perspective on South Africa’s Controversial Legislation Land reform has been a topic of intense debate in South Africa for decades, with the issue of land redistribution remaining one of the most sensitive and divisive topics in the country. The policies of land expropriation without compensation have garnered significant attention in recent years, with the government pushing to return land to its rightful owners – Black South Africans who were dispossessed during apartheid. While the legislation aims to address historical injustices and empower communities that have been marginalized for so long, it has been met with a mix of support and skepticism. As a new generation, not directly affected by the atrocities of apartheid but still inheriting its consequences, it is crucial to examine the pros and cons of this policy and consider what role we should play in shaping the future of South Africa.
