While we learn about history through reading texts and manuscripts, photography is another important way we can study the past. The oldest photos ever taken give us a glimpse into what the world was like over a century ago. While German professor Johann Heinrich Schulze is often cited as the first person to stumble upon the idea of photography in 1717 (although there is evidence Han Chinese philosopher Mozi wrote about the process in 400 BC), it wasn’t until the 18th century when the first camera was constructed.  Louis Le Prince, Louis Daguerre, and Johann Zahn are all credited with...

Canada’s top military officer says it would have been “preferable” for a Canadian fighter jet to shoot down a suspected balloon over Yukon last month – but they were delayed by freezing rain. “I gave direction that it’d be preferable for the Canadian CF-18s to do the shoot down,” Gen.

Despite our knee-jerk reaction to call everything that's not Catholicism or western religion, brujeria, it's really not.

In astrology, the moon represents the parts of ourselves that we feel like we can't share with others. Your moon sign is the placement the moon was in when you were born. It's essentially how...

When times get tough in homes sales, watch what the homebuilders are doing. Take Landsea Homes, a small builder that blossomed in California. It’s moving its headquarters to Texas as part of a nationwide growth plan. But the relocation also comes as builders like Landsea suffer the pains of a sales crash that not only curtailed house hunting last year but also scared want-to-be buyers to walk away from sales contracts. Landsea, for example, said its cancellation rate was running a mind-blowing 72% for its Arizona sales near year’s end. Moving the corporate headquarters from Newport Beach to Dallas won’t...
