GIVE PEACE A CHANCE
Give Peace a Chance I remember the day John Lennon was shot. It was December 8, 1980, and the news hit the world like a devastating storm. But it wasn’t just the loss of a singer or songwriter; it felt like the silencing of a philosopher, a man who used music to speak truth to power and feed the souls of millions.

The Calvine Photo: Best UFO Picture Ever Taken... or the Best-Kept Secret?
Picture this: It's a crisp August evening in 1990, deep in the Scottish Highlands near the tiny hamlet of Calvine. Two young guys-let's call them friends out for a simple hike, nothing fancy-are trudging along a quiet road, probably chatting about the weather or where to grab a pint later.

The Forgotten Flavors: How Ancient Recipes Could Change the Future of Food
Introduction: A Taste of What We’ve Lost Today, food is everywhere—globalized, homogenized, and, in the great majority of cases, severed from its place of origin. A hamburger consumed in New York has virtually the same taste as one consumed in Tokyo or Dubai. Pasta comes in a thousand variations, but the sauces follow the well-known: tomato, cream, or cheese. Supermarkets carry an incredible variety, but all are produced from the same limited list of international commodities: wheat, corn, soy, rice, sugar.

Can World War III Be Prevented?
Can World War III Be Prevented? The idea of World War III is no longer limited to history books or fictional movies.

Advances in technology, global interdependence, and new forms of power have changed how wars are fought—and how they affect the world.
