Israeli settlements, explained!
Driving through what might be one of the world's most peculiar landscapes, I find myself traversing the border between Israel and the West Bank. A glance at the map reveals a puzzle of Palestinian towns painted in green and Israeli settlements in blue. This region is often thought of as Palestine, yet what's intriguing is that almost a fifth of the three million inhabitants here are Jewish Israeli citizens. These Israelis, known as settlers, call the West Bank home while holding Israeli citizenship. As I journey along, I am witnessing the juxtaposition of two distinct nations intertwined by decades of conflict.

Why Titanic didn't had enough lifeboats?
In James Cameron's 1997 blockbuster film, Titanic, there's a memorable moment where Rose, played by Kate Winslet, realizes a critical fact about the lifeboats: "It seems that there are not enough for everyone aboard."
