  “It’s all about the story.” 
  So begins Babak Hodjat’s collection of tales in The Konar and the Apple. 
  An eight-year-old boy assigned the task of throwing flowers during the Shah’s visit. A teenager in boot camp eager to catch episodes of a popular Japanese TV show. An adult coming to the Unites States, ready to make his mark in the tech world.  
  These are just some of the personal experiences shaping Hodjat’s intimate narrative of a boy growing up in post-revolutionary Iran. The stories paint a picture of a middle-class, westernized boy experiencing all the common—and uncommon—adventures of childhood and self-discovery. 
  Blending both humor and insight, The Konar and the Apple transcends culture to celebrate the fun, innocence, and anticipation of growing up that unite us all. 
  - 
  “We rarely learn the back stories of today’s technology leaders – but here Babak Hodjat eloquently, entertainingly and compellingly recounts a coming-of-age journey through war, revolution... and love.” 
  	- David Rowan, Founding Editor-in-Chief, WIRED UK and author of Non- Bullshit Innovation 
  “What makes these coming-of-age stories of innocence and wonder so compelling is that they are told against the backdrop of growing up in the Islamist Republic of Iran. Hovering just behind the gentle banter of teenage boys at play are the regime’s tentacles reaching everywhere, even to the narrator’s hair, but also tearinga tight-knit family asunder.” 
  	- Micha X. Peled, Award-winning independent filmmaker, The Globalization Trilogy: STORE WARS, China Blue, Bitter Seeds

  The Most Famous Women of the...

  The most famous woman of the Wild West was also possibly the most colorful and mysterious. “Considered a remarkable good shot and a fearless rider for a girl of my age”, Calamity Jane claimed to be a veteran of the Indian Wars, a scout, and the wife of Wild Bill Hickok, all on the way to becoming a dime novel heroine. While all of those legends have stuck, it’s unclear to what extent if any they are actually true, and even her contemporaries doubted the authenticity of her statements.  
  Belle Starr likely would have been forgotten if not for the mysterious nature of her death and the attempts of dime novel writers to exaggerate her story and turn her into the female equivalent of Jesse James. On February 3, 1889, Starr was ambushed and murdered while riding home, and it’s still unclear who decided to blast her in the back and head with shotguns. That might have been the end of her story, but just months after her unsolved murder, dime novelist Richard K. Fox published Bella Starr, the Bandit Queen, or the Female Jesse James, which breathed new life into her legacy. Since then, Belle Starr has been remembered as one of the most famous women of the Wild West. 
  Annie Oakley would become a national celebrity in her own life for “The Little Sure Shot of the West”, learned her gun skills out of necessity, using them to hunt for food around the Cincinnati area thousands of miles away from the dusty towns, saloons and shootouts that have become symbols the Wild West. . Eventually, she would perform off and on for Buffalo Bill’s show, but she also took her exploits to Europe and even the burgeoning film industry, performing “The Little Sure Shot of the West” for Thomas Edison’s brand new kinetoscope, which could make a film. She also met dignitaries like Queen Victoria and Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany. Annie only became more famous with age, continuing with her skillful performances into her 60s

  The Emperor's Edge - Unveiling...

  Napoleon Bonaparte's journey from a modest Corsican background to one of history's greatest military leaders is nothing short of remarkable. Born on August 15, 1769, in Ajaccio, Corsica, a French territory that had only recently been acquired from the Genoese, Napoleon’s early years were shaped by the turbulent political climate of his homeland. Corsica, a fiercely independent island, had a long history of resistance to foreign rule, and Napoleon’s family, though of noble descent, was not wealthy. His father, Carlo Bonaparte, was a lawyer and political leader who supported French rule, a decision that ultimately benefitted his son’s future. The Bonaparte family’s political connections allowed Napoleon to receive an education in mainland France, beginning at a military academy in Brienne-le-Château at the age of nine. 
  Despite his alienation due to his Corsican accent and outsider status, Napoleon excelled in his studies. He was particularly gifted in mathematics, which would later serve him well in military strategy and artillery. His time at the École Militaire in Paris further honed his military skills, and by the age of 16, he had graduated and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the French artillery. The early years of his military career were marked by the turbulence of the French Revolution, which had begun in 1789, when Napoleon was just 20 years old. The Revolution provided opportunities for ambitious and talented individuals like Napoleon to rise through the ranks, as the French military underwent significant reform. 
  During the Revolution, Napoleon’s loyalty to the revolutionary ideals of equality and fraternity became evident. In 1793, he gained recognition for his role in the Siege of Toulon, where he played a pivotal part in expelling the British from the French port city. His brilliance in artillery tactics and his ability to inspire his troops did not go unnoticed.
