  America’s Most Famous...

  It was the great mystery of its time and still reads like an episode of “Law and Order” today. In December 1910, a wealthy young woman, thought to be sheltered and above reproach, goes missing shortly after being seen in broad daylight on Fifth Avenue in New York City. The police are called in and begin to question those closest to her, only to have her father, a wealthy manufacturer, insist it must be foul play and that his daughter was on good terms with her entire family. Likewise, he claims that though she was in her mid-20s and in the prime of life, she had no serious romantic attachments.  
  By the mid-1930s, Amelia Earhart was one of the most famous women in the world. The American pilot had set a number of altitude and distance records, but she wanted to attempt a circumnavigation of the world. After an ill-fated first attempt, Earhart and Fred Noonan set off on another attempt, creating one of the 20th century’s most enduring mysteries. Earhart and Noonan were to land on Howland Island, 1700 miles southwest of Hawaii, but radio transmissions ceased between the plane and authorities on the ground the morning of July 2, 1937. Earhart and Noonan had disappeared, never to be seen again, despite one of the nation’s largest and costliest manhunts to date. 
  On November 24, 1971, there was little to suggest that the skies above the Pacific Northwest would produce one of the greatest mysteries in American history and a criminal investigation that is still ongoing over 40 years later. However, on the day before Thanksgiving, a man calling himself Dan Cooper boarded Northwest Orient Flight 305 from Portland to Seattle and sat in the rear of the cabin. The identity of the thief who ransomed hostages and then jumped out of a plane with the money that night remains unknown. In fact, his ultimate fate is a mystery.

  Noli Me Tangere is a landmark novel in Philippine literature and a foundational work of political fiction. Written by national hero José Rizal, it exposes the corruption, abuse, and oppression endured by Filipinos under Spanish colonial rule and the Catholic clergy. The story follows Crisóstomo Ibarra, a young Filipino who returns from Europe intent on reforming society through education and progress, only to face betrayal, injustice, and the ruthless power of the friars. Blending romance, realism, and revolutionary critique, Rizal’s novel ignited nationalist sentiment and laid the intellectual groundwork for the Philippine Revolution. A powerful indictment of colonial tyranny, Noli Me Tangere remains a testament to the struggle for freedom, justice, and national identity.

  The early history of Japan was shaped by three key periods—the Kofun, Yamato, and Asuka—each playing a crucial role in laying the foundations of the Japanese nation.  
  The Kofun Period, named after the massive burial mounds built for elite rulers, saw the rise of warrior aristocracy and the early consolidation of power by influential clans. This era transitioned into the Yamato Period, during which the Yamato clan emerged as Japan’s first ruling dynasty, establishing the imperial lineage that continues to this day.  
  The Asuka Period marked a profound transformation as Buddhism, Confucian governance, and Chinese cultural influences began shaping Japan’s political and social structures.  
  The Taika Reforms introduced centralized administration, strengthening the authority of the emperor.  
  These three periods together set the stage for Japan’s evolving identity, blending indigenous traditions with foreign influences to create a distinct and enduring civilization.
