Myopia
Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a vision problem that affects millions of people around the world. It means that objects close to us are clear, but things far away appear blurry. For many, this condition begins quietly, slowly creeping into their daily life without much notice. But myopia is very real, and it can deeply affect not just how we see the world, but also how we live in it. Please, take care. Please take care of your eyes—they are precious beyond words.

Prelude III | Starbuilders
After arriving back at the village, Nothaar and Baubu retired to the older man's hut. There, Baubu's assistants had kept the fires burning while they were away; thus, it was actually quite comfortable inside. Nothaar was amazed at the ingenuity that went into insulating the building to keep so much heat in the interior while letting all the smoke out. Sweating from their vigorous walk, Nothaar was quick to shed his warm layers. Still, the cold felt like it had seeped as deep as his organs and was stubbornly refusing to allow his internal body temperature to return to its expected normal level.

The importance of authenticity: His true power returns when he sheds the foreign influences and reconnects with his roots.. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
The importance of authenticity: His true power returns when he sheds the foreign influences and reconnects with his roots.---- The Priest-King loses his connection to his power and his land by embracing foreign objects and practices (the throne, crown, clothing, marble floors, and even the blood ritual itself). His brother, the High Priest of the Dark God, helps him realize that true power comes from being rooted in his own land and identity.----It all started with a dizzy spell. One minute I was the Priest-King, crown on my head, performing a ritual, and the next, I was almost on the floor. My ornate crown clattered away, making a racket. Just as I thought I was going down, a hand grabbed my arm, pulling me back up.

Prelude II | Starbuilders
Side-by-side, Nothaar and Baubu began walking back towards the village. En route, they idly chatted about the various locales that Nothaar had visited and the groups that were inhabiting them. Their conversation never settled on any topic in particular and instead bounced around, driven solely by the whims of the participants. As their voyage took them upon a well-worn path, Nothaar remarked on how he could practically feel the history of the trail itself. "It's quite clear that your people have been coming this way for generations," he noted.

Heart of the Machine
Heart of the Machine Chapter 1: Born in a Box In a small electronics workshop in Bangalore, India, a computer was assembled piece by piece. The technician, Ramesh, handled every component with care. First came the motherboard, the main circuit board where everything would connect. Then he gently placed the CPU—a powerful Intel Core i7—into its socket and secured a cooling fan on top. This was the brain of the machine.

FDA Clears First Blood Test for Diagnosing Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia, affects more than 6 million Americans and over 55 million people worldwide. Until now, diagnosing Alzheimer’s has been a complex and often invasive process, requiring expensive PET scans or lumbar punctures (spinal taps) to detect biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). However, in a landmark decision, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the first blood test to aid in diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease—a move that could revolutionize early detection and treatment.

When Hearts Collide.
Brussels was a world away from Marlowe Bay. Cobblestone streets and Gothic architecture replaced sandy paths and wooden piers. The salty tang of the sea was traded for the scent of roasted coffee and damp stone. And Ava, for the first time in her life, felt split down the middle.
