I HEARD THE STORIES
I'll admit that I wrote this a few years ago, then just tucked it away in my computer and forgot about it. Yet it is most definitely a bit of history that has gotten swept under the rug for way too long.

The largest glass bead factory in the Crystal Valley.
G&B The Crystal Valley: At the beggining, there was the production of the first czech glass composition for production of a diamond imitation in 1711 in Turnov. Then the production expanded to many villages in the Jizera mountains including Jablonec nad Nisou and so called Jablonec glassware was soon known all over the world.

They walk in the footsteps of the historical legacy of their ancestors.( taken from their “about us“ section of the G&B website).

The wind did not howl across the Khentii Mountains; it screamed, a jagged, mournful sound that tore through the felt walls of Noyan Batu’s command tent. Outside, the night was a void of suffocating blackness, broken only by the shivering orange embers of a dying campfire. Batu sat motionless, his fingers tracing the topography of a silk map spread across a low wooden table.

Lake Karachay: One of the Most Dangerous Places on Earth
In the 19th century, Lake Karachay was an unremarkable body of water in the southern Ural region. During particularly dry years, it could even dry up completely, and it was not always marked on maps. By the end of the 20th century, however, the site had become a symbol of environmental disaster, earning descriptions such as “the most radioactive place on Earth” and the “Ural Hiroshima” in international media.

Trump followers are in a Cult
I posted a video on social media saying I was happy to see Donald Trump's name taken off of the Kennedy Center. I feel it is a victory for democracy. Donald Trump recklessly took over the Kennedy Center last year and caused failure there. Performers boycotted him. He closed the center for unnecessary renovations to save face. A Judge ordered his name to be taken off of everything at the Kennedy Center, including the signage.

Kennedy Center Restored
Last year, Donald Trump took over the Kennedy Center. He said the programs there were "too woke." Fall out was immediate. So many performers pulled out of their shows that Donald decided to shut the center down, for "renovations." Then he decided to add his name to the signage. It now read "The Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts." Voices in congress pointed out that this was a Memorial Center to President Kennedy, and Trump should not have his name attached. One member of congress, Representative Joyce Beatty from Ohio, took action. She sued to have Donald Trump's name removed from the building.

Queens
There’s a long history of queens writing poetry, for many different reasons. If we look at the poetry of Queen Elizabeth I, we see controlled rhetoric, but when we read the poetry of Mary, Queen of Scots, we are met with lament and the language of suffering.

Everyone Who Challenged Allah
10 who challenged a law, none won. You think you know how this ends. Floods, fire, civilizations erased overnight. You've heard the names, but there is one entry on this list whose punishment is worse than all of them combined, worse than the flood that swallowed a world, worse than the wind that erased an empire in eight days, and you will not see it coming. 10 challengers, 10 endings, none of them won. One, Iblis. Before Adam opened his eyes, the first challenge had already been made. Iblis was not a minor figure.
