Something exciting is happening in Switzerland’s countryside: engineers are turning train tracks into solar power stations!

The startup Sun-Ways has designed removable solar panels that fit between railway tracks—no need for extra land, no interference with trains, and they can be removed quickly for maintenance.

Their first installation near Buttes is already generating enough energy to power homes, and with over 5,000 km of railway lines, the potential is huge.

This isn’t a concept—it’s happening now. A smart use of existing space, delivering clean energy from the ground up.

In 1938, a quiet Black man from Detroit knocked out N**i propaganda — in under two minutes.
Joe Louis wasn’t the kind of hero America usually celebrated. He was humble. Soft-spoken. And Black — in a country that still wouldn’t seat him in most restaurants.
But when he stepped into the ring against Germany’s Max Schmeling, the world was watching more than a boxing match.
Hitler’s regime had turned Schmeling into a symbol of A***n superiority — a perfect product of N**i propaganda. And in a segregated America, Louis had become something much more than an athlete.
For Black Americans, he was a quiet force of pride. For white Americans, he became one of the few figures who could unite a divided nation.
Their first fight in 1936 was devastating: Schmeling won. American newspapers were cruel. N**i Germany rejoiced.
But on June 22, 1938, at Yankee Stadium, everything changed. Before a crowd of 70,000 and a radio audience of over 70 million, Joe Louis unleashed a fury.
In just 124 seconds, he knocked out Schmeling. The N**i fighter didn’t land a single punch.
It wasn’t just a victory in the ring — it was a symbolic blow against hate, racism, and fascism.
Joe Louis didn’t raise his fist in celebration. He just walked back to his corner — calm, focused, and quiet as ever.
Had you heard this side of Joe Louis’s legacy before?
Can a single moment in sports truly shake the world?

Discover the ancient city where rooftops were the streets and the dead rested beneath the living. 🏠

This was Çatalhöyük, a real settlement in what is now Turkey that flourished over 9,000 years ago, around 7500 BC.

It is considered one of the world's first cities, but it had a feature that made it unlike anything we know today: there were no streets.

The houses were all built packed together in a honeycomb-like maze. To get home, residents had to climb a ladder onto their own roof and enter through a hole in the ceiling.

This design offered incredible protection from wild animals or warring neighbors. The rooftops themselves became the main thoroughfares and public squares for the community.

Inside, the homes were decorated with elaborate wall paintings of hunting scenes and wild animals. They were centers of family life, used for cooking, crafting, and sleeping.

The most remarkable aspect of their culture, however, was how they treated their dead. Instead of a separate cemetery, they buried deceased family members directly under the floors of their homes, often beneath the hearth or sleeping platforms. 🏺

This practice suggests a deep spiritual connection, where ancestors remained a physical and constant part of the home, linking generations together under one roof.

Çatalhöyük provides an invaluable window into how humanity first transitioned from a nomadic existence to building complex, settled communities.

She was 67 years old when they dragged her to the ex*****oner’s block.
She refused to kneel.
And the axeman had to strike more than once to kill her.
Margaret Pole was born into the powerful Plantagenet dynasty — once rulers of England. But that royal blood made her dangerous.
Her father, the Duke of Clarence, was executed for treason when she was just a toddler. Rumors said he was drowned in a barrel of wine. Her family was stripped of titles and land, and she was quietly pushed out of the spotlight.
But Margaret was no ordinary woman. She outlived the chaos of the Wars of the Roses and returned to favor under Henry VII. She married well. She became Countess of Salisbury in her own right. She even served as governess to Princess Mary, the future Queen of England.
Then came the split with Rome. Her son, Reginald Pole, a scholar and priest, publicly opposed Henry VIII’s break from the Catholic Church. That sealed her fate.
In 1541, Margaret was arrested and imprisoned in the Tower of London. She was never given a trial. There was no solid evidence. Just suspicion — and her last name.
Eyewitnesses described her ex*****on as brutal. The inexperienced ex*****oner missed, multiple times. She died not only with pain, but with defiance. She never renounced her son. She never begged for mercy.
Margaret Pole was one of the last living Plantagenets. Her death was a message: the old royal bloodlines were over.
But she didn’t go quietly.
Had you heard of Margaret Pole before?
Was her death justice — or political revenge?

In 1998, Karl Bushby left Punta Arenas, Chile, with one goal—to walk an unbroken path back to his home in Hull, England. No planes, no cars, no shortcuts. Just his feet and sheer determination.

Now, 27 years later, he’s nearly there.

Karl has walked over 47,000 km through 25 countries, crossed the Bering Strait on foot, survived the Darien Gap, swam the Caspian Sea, and faced more red tape, detentions and setbacks than most could even imagine. Yet he’s kept going, never flying home, never quitting.

His journey, called the Goliath Expedition, is due to finish in 2026, completing what might be the longest continuous walk in human history.

Absolutely mind-blowing.

If you ever need proof of what a single human being can endure, overcome and accomplish—Karl is it.
