The Importance of the Antikythera Mechanism
Picking a topic to discuss has always been a hard thing for me to do due to the number of interests I have. The closest oversimplification I can make to encompass all of them in one short phrase is history and its moods across time. The very concept of being confined to the limitations of time and space (and everything that happens in between) fascinates me to no avail. I feel as if humanity has always been haunted and influenced by the past; always looking further while constantly peeking back. There's something powerful and poignantly important about the synthesis of both the past and present.

Black writers
Whenever black history is taught in schools we only cover certain topics or even people such as Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr, and Rosa Parks because they are considered safe to teach about. Slavery is rarely taught and it usually goes straight to the civil rights movement of the 60’s. Black history is more than that because every aspect of American history has been touched and built up on by a black person. Come along with me on this wild ride and let me introduce to you several people.

THE ESSENCES OF TURKISH TEA
One thing you must know when visiting Turkey is that Turkish people love to drink tea and not just any kind of tea, Turkish tea. When I say they love their tea, I genuinely mean that drinking tea is a component of their everyday life, any time of the day. Although Turkey is known for its coffee, the most overwhelming choice of drink is tea. I would say drinking tea is more popular than in countries such as England or China.

Did 'Divine Aid' Kill All the Hoppers Near Jefferson, SD?
The first seven years of the 1870s decade were darned good ones . . . if you happened to be a grasshopper in the Dakotas. Not so much if you were a human living in and around places like Elk Point, Richland, McCook, and Adelscat -- which eventually became Jefferson -- or anywhere else in what is now eastern South Dakota.
