Where the Sun Meets the Earth. Runner-Up in History Would’ve Burned This Page Challenge.
The red Nebraska sun had dipped down to kiss the tops of the corn stalk sentinels, silhouetting them against the burnt orange sky as they marched off to the horizon. Howard slowly meandered back to the farm house, a rivulet of sweat slipped down his neck under the collar of his work shirt and his muscles ached from a long day of working the fields with his brother. As he neared the rickety old porch he spotted his sister bent over a bucket shucking fresh picked ears of corn. A soft breeze floated past, carrying the sound of Lorna Belle’s gentle voice.

What's In Your House
There were most likely different photo's that would have been more appropriate for this article. However, my splash one (although it was good), and my rainbow one (although it was good), were getting a bit old, and I have used it for so many articles, it was time for a change. So this is the rose bush in my back yard. It is indeed also very pretty indeed.

Gold Frames...
March 12th, 1915... My Dear Beth, I know that you were born a month ago, and named for your mother, my dearest Bess. She tells me that she kissed my gold-framed photograph each night, now on your behalf as well as her own, until you are old enough to do it yourself. I pray that the Great War will be over before then, or that I will have had leave enough to come home so you both can kiss me in person, before that time.

The Golden Islamic Era
Insights from Baroness Saeeda The Islamic Golden Age, spanning roughly from the 8th to the 14th century, stands as one of the most remarkable periods of intellectual, cultural, and scientific development in human history.

The Dyatlov Pass Incident Evidence They Hid
Soviet investigators found nine experienced hikers dead in the Ural Mountains under circumstances so bizarre they officially attributed deaths to "an unknown compelling force," but photographs from the autopsies that were classified for sixty years and recently released show injuries inconsistent with every official explanation and suggest something attacked them that investigators could not acknowledge without causing mass panic.

Cleopatra's Strategic Mind
BEYOND THE MYTH Cleopatra VII, born in 69 BCE, has been remembered primarily for her romantic relationships with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, but this focus on her love life obscures the reality that she was one of antiquity's most sophisticated political strategists, a polyglot who spoke at least nine languages, a patron of learning who transformed Alexandria into the intellectual capital of the Mediterranean world, and a skilled diplomat who kept Egypt independent for decades while rival powers consumed every other Hellenistic kingdom. She was born into the Ptolemaic dynasty, Greek rulers who had controlled Egypt since the death of Alexander the Great, and she received an exceptional education in mathematics, philosophy, astronomy, and languages, and uniquely among Ptolemaic rulers, she bothered to learn Egyptian and present herself to her subjects as a true pharaoh rather than a foreign occupier.
