The Eiffel Tower Was Hated at First
It's difficult to think of a more iconic building than the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It's an iconic landmark and is considered the second most recognisable building and landmark on the planet, only being beaten by the Statue of Liberty in New York. It's hard to imagine that what is today considered a symbol of Paris and romance was once hated. The Parisians would call it the "iron monster" and a "tragic giant lamppost," with writers and artists warning that building the tower would ruin the skyline and humiliate all the other monuments of Paris.

Three Ways To Test Your Faith
Most people can quote verbatim the definition of faith found in Hebrews 11:1. However, not all of them live by that definition. Yes, “faith is the substance of things hoped for and is the evidence of things not seen,” but when the going gets tough, some people tend to forget what the Bible says about faith.

Ground Beef Recalled: Fear, Trust, and the Food on Our Tables
The words ground beef recalled carry a quiet panic. They appear on screens late at night, during grocery runs, or after dinner is already cooking. Food is intimate. It enters our bodies. It feeds our children. When something so ordinary becomes a risk, it shakes trust in ways people do not expect. A recall is not just a notice. It is a moment of doubt. Did I buy this? Did I already eat it? Is my family safe? This article looks closely at why ground beef recalls happen, how they affect everyday life, and what they reveal about the fragile relationship between people and the systems that feed them. This is not about alarm. It is about awareness, care, and responsibility.

January: The First Month of the Year
Basics About the First Month of the Year January derives its name from Janu, the god of beginnings and transitions in Roman mythology. Janu was said to be the protector of gates, doorways, and paths, which is fitting because many of us view January as the doorway to the new year.

Somaliland and the Quiet Struggle for Recognition and Dignity
Somaliland is a place many people have never heard of, yet millions call it home. It exists in a space between memory and denial, stability and neglect. On maps, it is often missing. In global conversations, it is rarely mentioned. But on the ground, life continues with determination and care. This article is not about conflict headlines or political slogans. It is about people who built order after collapse, peace after violence, and hope without applause. Somaliland’s story is quiet, steady, and deeply human. To understand it is to understand how dignity can survive without permission, and how identity can remain strong even when the world refuses to say your name.

Karoline Leavitt & Her Husband: Behind Closed Doors
Maybe the headlines scream, the cameras flash, but the easily forgotten fact about public figures is that they are human too. Karoline Leavitt could be the face that commands the headlines, the voice that commands the stage, but the world that exists beneath the headlines, the world that Karoline Leavitt shares with her husband, is another world altogether, a world that has nothing to do with the headlines, the demands, the politics, the arguments, or the debates.
