She doesn’t smile in this photograph, and she doesn’t need to. The woman known as Big Nose Kate—born Mary Katherine Haroney—had already outlived most of the legends around her by 1880. You can almost feel the desert wind in her hair and the pistol’s weight beneath her skirts. A Hungarian aristocrat turned outlaw nurse, she was no sidekick or saloon girl. She was Doc Holliday’s equal, his lover, and sometimes his savior—sharp-tongued, unflinching, and unpredictable as a six-shooter at midnight.
That same year in Tombstone, while others were busy becoming myths, Kate was writing her own. When Doc was locked up and left to hang, she didn’t cry—she lit a fire. Literally. She set a blaze as a distraction, grabbed a shotgun, and bluffed lawmen into releasing him. It wasn’t just love—it was war. Their romance was volcanic, riddled with arguments, whiskey, and whispered threats. But no one ever dared question her loyalty. She walked through smoke and blood to bring Doc back from the edge more than once.
What became of her after the gunfights faded and the legends took root? She lived long enough to watch men turn into stories and lies become history. But she held tight to one truth: “I was Doc Holliday’s woman.” And in this photo—posture unbending, gaze full of unspoken fire—you don’t just see her. You feel her. A woman carved out of grit and rumor, who never blinked when the bullets started flying.

Designed in Belarus, the BelAZ 75710 isn't just massive—it redefines industrial scale. Powered by two 65-liter diesel engines and equipped with eight massive tires, each nearly 4 meters tall, it operates using an electric transmission system that helps distribute its enormous load. The truck is primarily used in iron ore and coal mines where efficiency and sheer volume are everything.

To put its size in perspective, the 450-ton payload is equivalent to carrying seven fully loaded Airbus A320s. Its turning radius is about 20 meters—larger than some streets—and it consumes up to 1,300 liters of fuel per 100 km. But in mining operations where time is money, the BelAZ 75710’s ability to cut trips in half makes every drop worth it.

Instead of using large fields for energy crops, we can use the sun that’s already available in parking lots by covering them with solar panels. This sustainable solution reduces energy waste and leaves our fields to breathe while still generating clean power. 🌞🚗

In the rugged landscape of the Dakota Territory around 1880, a stagecoach journey from the notorious frontier town of Deadwood was not for the faint of heart. Regardless of whether passengers rode inside the cramped wooden coach or held on atop with the luggage, the ride was bumpy, dusty, and often dangerous. Roads were little more than rough trails carved through the wilderness, riddled with ruts, rocks, and the constant threat of overturning. Inside, travelers were packed tightly, shoulder to shoulder, with barely enough room to stretch their legs, enduring long hours of jostling motion and choking dust.

Security was another concern, especially on routes like the one out of Deadwood, where gold shipments made coaches tempting targets for bandits. Armed guards—often riding shotgun, a term that originated from this era—were a standard presence, ready to defend passengers and cargo from outlaws. Stagecoach companies operated under constant threat from both human and natural dangers: river crossings, broken axles, wild animals, and sudden storms were part of the reality of frontier travel. Stops at waystations were brief and utilitarian, offering barely enough time for a change of horses and a bite of stale food before the journey resumed.

Yet, for all its hardships, the stagecoach was a vital lifeline for settlers, miners, merchants, and families trying to connect scattered communities across the American West. Deadwood itself, booming with the Black Hills Gold Rush, relied on these rugged vehicles to bring in news, mail, supplies, and newcomers chasing opportunity. Whether they held a first-class ticket or simply clung on with calloused hands, every passenger on a Deadwood stagecoach shared a chapter of the enduring pioneer spirit—resilient, hopeful, and determined to carve out a life on the unforgiving frontier.

Imagine being swallowed alive by a colossal sea creature—engulfed in total darkness, submerged in a living furnace of acid, mucus, and crushing pressure. Then, after hours of unimaginable terror, you emerge—alive. Breathing. Blinded by the light. You are no longer just a man—you are legend.

In 1891, aboard the British whaling ship *Star of the East* near the Falkland Islands, a crew set out after a giant s***m whale. Amid the chaos of the hunt, a young sailor named James Bartley fell into the sea and vanished. His crewmates believed he had drowned—or worse, been swallowed whole by the whale. Hours passed. The crew eventually harpooned the whale and hauled its massive body aboard to harvest its valuable oil. But what they found inside shocked them to their core: within the stomach of the beast, they discovered Bartley—still alive, unconscious, and coated in a layer of digestive slime.

For nearly two days, James Bartley had survived entombed in the belly of the leviathan. When he regained consciousness, he described a suffocating world of heat, stench, and pitch darkness—walls pressing in, every breath a struggle. His skin had been permanently scarred by the whale’s stomach acids, and he would never fully recover. But he became known as the "Modern Jonah," a living witness to the terrifying power of nature and the fragility of man. His tale remains etched in maritime lore as both a miracle and a mystery—a man swallowed by the sea itself, and returned.

In 1921, a 14-year-old farm boy named Philo Farnsworth stared at freshly plowed potato rows in Idaho and saw more than just soil. As he worked the fields, he imagined how images could be scanned line by line using electricity, just like the furrows in front of him. The following year, while still in high school, he sketched his idea on a blackboard for his science teacher. This concept of breaking images into horizontal lines of light laid the foundation for electronic television.

By 1927, Farnsworth successfully transmitted the first electronic television image using a device he designed called the image dissector. He was only 21 years old. Unlike mechanical television systems that used spinning discs and motors, his system used entirely electronic components, making it faster and more practical. In 1930, he was granted a patent for the technology, which would become a core component of modern TV. His invention revolutionized how people received news, entertainment, and information.

But success did not come easily. RCA, the broadcasting giant, tried to claim television as its own and challenged Farnsworth’s patents. In a major legal battle, Farnsworth’s original high school sketch served as crucial evidence. In 1935, the court ruled in his favor, recognizing him as the true inventor of electronic television. While RCA later dominated the TV industry, Farnsworth’s contribution has since been recognized as groundbreaking and ahead of its time.
