Image
  Image credit: Quartz The Biden administration has approved the construction of a new section of border security infrastructure in southern Texas to address the growing influx of immigration. Approximately 20 miles (32km) of barrier will be erected in Starr County, along the Mexican border, where authorities have reported a significant rise in border crossings. It's worth noting that building a border wall was a central policy of Donald Trump's presidency and faced strong opposition from Democrats. In 2020, President Biden pledged not to add another inch to the wall if elected. Soon after taking office, his administration issued a proclamation stating that constructing a wall across the southern border was not a viable policy solution. In a statement to Associated News on Wednesday night, the US Customs and Border Protection defended the decision, emphasizing that they were utilizing funds already allocated for border security. "Congress allocated funds in fiscal year 201...

  Have you ever seen a gemstone that looks like a piece of art? A gemstone that has a black background with colorful patterns and shapes? A gemstone that is so rare and unique that no two pieces are exactly alike? If not, then you should check out the Australian Koroit Boulder Opal, one of the most stunning and fascinating gems in the world. What is a Koroit Boulder Opal? A Koroit Boulder Opal is a type of opal that comes from a specific area in Queensland, Australia. It is called a boulder opal because it forms in cracks and cavities of ironstone boulders. Ironstone is a hard and dark rock that contains iron. The opal fills the spaces in the ironstone and creates a contrast between the black matrix and the bright colors.

The colors can change depending on the angle of the light and the position of the viewer. This phenomenon is called play-of-color and it makes op...

Image
  Photo credit; Pexels Two years into my marriage, a mysterious package arrived, sent by someone who went by the name “Special Anonymous.” Inside the box were two stunning gifts: a brand-new iPhone and a dazzling diamond necklace. The sheer value of these items left me speechless, and I couldn’t bring myself to tell my husband. Each time I attempted to confess, my words evaporated into smiles. You see, my husband, Charles, was a wonderful man, and our two-year marriage had been filled with joy. However, a tiny issue began to cast a shadow over our otherwise blissful union. Charles, though financially capable, never thought to surprise me with gifts. Whenever I saw videos of other men showering their partners with affection and tokens of love, my heart ached. Charles was a man of routine and formality. Our conversations often felt as though I were speaking to my boss rather than my spouse. I yearned for a lighter, more playful marriage, one where we’d share silly moments and playful...
