A few weeks ago, singer, songwriter, and philanthropist Dolly Parton passed away at the age of 80. Following a brief battle with Cancer, Parton peacefully died at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville, Tennessee. Almost immediately, people globally felt the impact of her absence.

Lebanon’s parliament voted on an issue that will set a new precedent for its nation. On August 11, 2026, a majority decided to remove the death penalty from Lebanon. What stood out more, though? Lebanon is the first Middle Eastern country to officially remove capital punishment, marking a prodigious shift in the area. Still, the legislation is contingent on more individuals agreeing, including the cabinet and the President; however, the government’s support proves optimistic.

The ocean can be dangerous for many reasons: cold shock can limit one's ability to swim; fast-moving rogue waves and storms can sweep ships away; dangerous wildlife can attack when threatened; and spontaneous rip currents may pull a person swiftly out to sea. All things said, other things can quickly go wrong in the water, and for 10-year-old Nathaniel, that is exactly what happened. Thankfully, someone came to his rescue, and while he may only be a few years old, his actions

Sometimes, a light-hearted, funny story is all anyone ever needs. Recently, a natural phenomenon has gone viral for its amusing appearance, and it's named Jimothy.

Being able to have the light on, the water running, and the stove flaming is something that seems relatively common, right? In reality, the World Health Organization reports that “655 million people globally still lack access to electricity,” and a disproportionate number of these individuals are from Sub-Saharan Africa (Joint News Release). Unfortunately, these communities faced many downsides because of this deficit: the lack of refrigeration, fuel for heat and AC, and medi

There are many things humans cannot control: time, the past, others’ opinions, and most importantly for this story, the weather. The world is filled with a wide variety of climates and ecosystems that are constantly evolving. With that come many positive things: skiing in the mountains, swimming in the tropics, and paragliding in the wind are some of them. On the other side, the unmanageable nature of the climate also has a lot of downsides, including natural disasters. No ma

Running is taxing. From taking a toll on each joint in a human’s body to filling the mind with discouraging amounts of strain, many people have to push themselves to their limits to complete a run successfully. On the contrary, other individuals can also find enjoyment, passion, and zeal from running. If this enthusiasm continues to flourish, in certain situations, it fuels a new level of connection to the sport, and for brothers Jordan and Cian Adams, that was surely the cas

Climate change is at the forefront of many people’s minds, and this acknowledgement has risen immensely in the last few decades. Whether positive or negative, human impacts on the climate are being taken into account more frequently, and unfortunately, the negative side outweighs the positive one. With that, people are also beginning to be impacted more negatively by this news, with around “53% of people around the world…more worried about climate change this year than last y

Specifically, individuals who graduated this year are about to enter an entirely new phase of their lives; however, unlike the normal progress

For many individuals, summer is right around the corner or has already begun. A time filled with traveling, campfires, and more laughs than imaginable, summer provides everyone with a break from the ordinary constraints of life.

Doing that, though, can be easier said than done, so below are some quick and simple ways to make summer 2026 the most memorable b

In recent years, climate change has become increasingly concerning worldwide. Whether it is rising tides or climbing global temperatures, something negative is happening within the world’s ecosystem. Even so, solutions are emerging daily, and in some places, innovative techniques to solve certain issues are dazzling. In one situation, markets are gaining a new purpose: to serve people while simultaneously serving the world. As Spring nears, London markets are appearing more

Nonetheless, some of the most crucial, yet seemingly unknown, components of the mission still waver in people’s minds. Therefore, instead of leaving minds blank, today’s articles will cover why the Artem

Worldwide, a significant issue in society is becoming more apparent daily—homelessness. At this point, an estimated 100 million people struggle with homelessness, and an additional 1.6 billion lack adequate housing, according to the United Nations. Sadly, with growing house prices and stagnant wages, an increasing number of people are facing these issues. Specifically, New York City, NY, faces extreme homelessness across the boroughs. At the beginning of 2026, Coalition for

Due to recent societal events, a growing number of individuals have participated in protests. Ranging from climate change to political power, people have spoken up against the tough parts of society, and in doing so, have brought awareness to the underlying issues. Hence, the number of news articles and broadcasts about these demonstrations has also increased. However, something most people have not witnessed on the news is old protestors. In reality, though, many individuals

Health in general can be nerve-racking. Even getting a broken bone or concussion can be scary to the average person. Sadly, these fears only get amplified in the case of cancer. However, in recent years, cancer-related health innovations have been rising and have also saved lives. For Amy Piccioli, her story would have stopped without a cutting-edge transplant, but now, she has the opportunity to complete the pages she has yet to write. In May of 2024, mother of three, Amy P

Every day, new information about the impending global climate crisis pops up on social media and news platforms. Unfortunately, the data is rather uninspiring to many individuals. According to the Rockefeller Foundation, “58 percent of popular posts [highlight] the negative consequences of climate change,” ultimately providing limited positive public insight. However, a group of people at Hawaii Pacific University reestablished social norms instead of letting these bleak stor

Grief is an emotion that nearly every human will experience at some point in their life. Whether it is a childhood pet or a loved one, grief finds a way to consume us. However, when an opportunity presents itself to use those emotions positively, why not take it? That alternative route is exactly what high school English teacher Kristina Ulmer did, and now, her charitable acts have turned a once somber story into a merry tale. In October 2014, Katie Amodei, Kristina Ulmer’s

When tech entrepreneur Brooks Bell was diagnosed with colon cancer, she took a step back from her busy daily routine. Working during her treatment would be difficult, so she found a new way to pass the time: spreading awareness. She promoted both the cancer treatment itself and the discovery process, colonoscopies. The first thing she did was create a non-profit called 50 Colonoscopies Under 50. The mission is to educate individuals about the risks of colon cancer, to instr

Two months ago, Panchi-kun, also known as Punch the Monkey, blew up all over the internet.
