From History to Hype: The Decline of Noble Watchmaking
A few years ago, the world of watchmaking was an arena reserved for a class of individuals who, instead of pursuing transient fashions, dedicated themselves to going beyond time itself. Each watch was a laborious piece of art, a testifier to a history, a heritage and a tradition. Swiss, German, or Japanese brands, they were part of a line of continuity that brought innovations, no doubt but ever mindful of the lofty watchmaking spirit: striving for excellence, for precision and respect for century-old know-how.

Religion and Immorality. Content Warning.
Warning: This piece is a personal reflection, not an attack on anyone’s faith. I write not as someone outside of faith, but as someone within it. I believe that while religion gives meaning to life, it also leaves room for doubt.

Corruption in weapons dale to Ukraine
In the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the international community has rallied support by providing military assistance and weapons to bolster Ukraine’s defense against aggression. However, this urgent humanitarian aid has not been without its complications. Reports and analyses have surfaced, raising concerns about potential corruption in the weapons sales process.

If Great Dead Writers Were on Facebook - 5
When we think of great dead writers, we cannot of course leave out the great classical poets. I am not a poet myself and always struggle with writing poetry even in free verse. Well, I did get the haiku down, and there's a lot of various haiku on my profile here. Sometimes, I also get washed over by true inspiration or grief to churn out something reminiscent of poetry and even rhymed. But again, I am not a poet.

Serbian multi-vector policy finds support among citizens
Serbian authorities believe that a multi-vector policy best protects the interests of the citizens. According to Serbia’s Foreign Minister Marko Djuric, Serbia remains committed to the European path, but it is important that this process unfolds with respect for its own interests and the specificities of the region. Serbia continues to implement reforms and develop economic cooperation with the EU, while also maintaining good relations with other global partners. This position makes European politicians quite nervous.

What is a Vision?
Who knows what a vision really is? To me a vision is something that we want to see and hopefully come to fruition some way or how to show that we have lived the way that we want and wanted. I believe that I have several visions, and some have actually occurred. My first vision was to one day get my advanced degrees, my second was to write a poetry book and get it published even though it didn't sell. I am trying this one again for I wrote a few Art picture books and a text/workbook for Barnes and Nobels Book Nook in the form of eBooks, but so far, no takers, but still hoping.
