What Is Your Favorite Bible Verse?
Sometimes a few words from the Bible can change the way we see the world and guide the way we live our lives. One of my favorite verses comes from Isaiah 61:3. It says, “I will give them a crown of beauty instead of ashes of despair, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.” These words have carried a lot of meaning for me over the years. They have been more than inspiration. They have been a guide for how I try to show up in the lives of the people I care about.

No polished thoughts. No clear requests. Just a sense of heaviness, confusion, or fatigue. It can feel like prayer requires language we do not possess.

How MAGA Rhetoric Went Viral in Europe
Imagine scrolling your social feed and seeing political debates about France’s elections, Germany’s nationalist rise, or far-right gains in Italy and Poland — all tied, at least in part, to the influence of America’s Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. What started as an American slogan transformed into a global conversation about nationalism, identity, and political strategy, generating massive public interest, academic analysis, and viral news cycles across the United States and Europe.

Italian Cuisine After UNESCO: A Responsibility for the Future
When UNESCO added Italian cuisine to its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2025, the announcement sparked familiar gestures of national pride.

Robotics Designed for Continuous Change Robotics engineering now operates in environments defined by constant motion and evolving demands. Automation systems are no longer isolated from people or shielded from variability. They function in warehouses with changing layouts, factories with shifting production goals, and research settings that intentionally introduce uncertainty. This reality requires a new standard for how robots are designed and evaluated.
