Do you want to learn about one of the biggest investment fraud cases in US history? The story we’re going to tell today is a tale of two businessmen that we think all of us can use as an example of good morals and bad morals. A good leader and a bad leader. An honest man who lived by his convictions and a con man who lived a life full of lies. And finally, a man with TRUE integrity and honor and a man who doesn’t even understand the meaning of the words.

In the past 25 years, India and the United States have become closer than ever before, building strong economic and strategic ties. Their partnership has rested on shared values and shared interests: they are the two largest democracies in the world, home to vast multicultural populations, and both have been concerned about the rise of India’s northern neighbor, China. But in the past four months, that carefully cultivated relationship has abruptly gone off the rails. The return of U.S. President Donald Trump to the White House threatens to undo the achievements of a quarter century.

Olga of Kiev ruled the Rus’ – a medieval people in Ukraine related to the Vikings – for over 15 years. She is primarily known for her christianizing influence on the Rus’ lands during her later years in power. But the start of her regency is just as compelling a story.

She became leader of the Rus’ because her husband, the grand prince, was atrociously killed by the Drevlian tribe while their son was still an infant. Obsessed with revenge, Olga’s early reign was consumed by a systemic and ruthless payback campaign against the Drevlians.

In the early 17th century, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth stood as one of Europe’s largest and most formidable states, stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea. By 1618, its territory had expanded to twice the size of France, thanks to military victories against Muscovy during the chaotic “Time of Troubles.” But that glory also came at the cost of internal stagnation and decay. The Commonwealth’s political system was both its strength and its fatal flaw. Proudly self-identified as a “Christian Republic,” it operated under a unique elective monarchy where power was shared between the king, the Senate, and the Chamber of Envoys (Sejm), which with time would cease all progress

Nigeria has gained a reputation as a "scam capital" due to the prevalence of online fraud, particularly advance-fee scams (also known as "419 scams"). This reputation is rooted in a combination of factors, including economic hardship, weak law enforcement, and a culture that, in some instances, seems to tolerate or even celebrate fraudulent behavior.

In the mid 19th century in Macon, Georgia, a man and woman fell in love, married and, as many young couples do, began thinking about starting a family. But Ellen and William Craft were both enslaved and were well aware that any of their future children could be ripped away at any moment and sold as property. So, they devised a bold escape plan.

Elephantry is a term for specific military units using elephant-mounted troops.In addition to their role in combat, elephants provided an excellent means of transportation and could be used to move heavy equipment and supplies over large distances. They were also their own form of cavalry, able to charge at tremendous speed. Their sheer size made war elephants all but unstoppable.
