In the 19th century, the covered wagon was a popular mode of transportation for emigrants heading to the American West, particularly along the Oregon and California Trails.

Known as the prairie schooner, this wagon derived its name from the white canvas cover resembling a schooner's sail when viewed from a distance.

Compared to the Conestoga wagon, commonly used in the eastern United States for hauling freight, the prairie schooner was smaller and lighter, making it more suitable for long-distance travel.

The beaver animal is a very skilled dam engineer, and it is born with these innate skills in building without the need to indoctrinate it from its parents, and evolutionists do not have the slightest explanation for the emergence of these instincts until today.

The beaver lives in a dwelling in the middle of the water with underground tunnels several meters long to enter, exit and ventilate to protect its young from predators And in order for this dwelling to remain stable, it must be built on stagnant water.

Before building the dwelling, the beaver searches for a river and builds a dam in it to accumulate water and stop flowing, and spends months collecting wood, gravel, mud and building in an amazing way, and even when a runny occurs in the dam - which ranges in length Between

Generally people ate out [remember the Romans invented the hamburger: sicia omenteta] - they usually didn't eat at home.

In most of the kitchens excavated at Pompeii (like the one pictured), the only remaining permanent feature is a masonry hearth with a tiled top and arched recesses in the bottom for fuel storage.

Cooking took place on this open hearth, with pots placed on iron tripods over burning charcoal or wood. Some homes also boasted a small oven, much like a modern wood-fired pizza oven, in the corner of the bench, with a vent near the stove for smoke to escape.

The Ship Inn, 447 Stanley St, South Brisbane, viewed from Govt House in 1868 and in 1980. The hotel that became the Ship Inn was built by Daniel Donovan in 1866. It failed to prosper and was a boarding house until 1879 when it was licensed as the Ship Inn.

It was advertised as “the only first class brick hotel in South Brisbane”. This coincided with a boom in the local economy and the growth of the shipping industry nearby.

Between 1880 and 1900, South Brisbane experienced a substantial economic boom, due directly to the construction of a suburban rail line to the southern suburbs and the linking of the western line to Ipswich in 1884.

March 6, 1912: German chemist and physicist August Toepler died in Dresden.

Known for his experiments in electrostatics, he applied Foucault's knife-edge test for telescope mirrors to the analysis of fluid flow and the shock wave, naming this new method schlieren photography.

He also developed the Toepler machine, an electrostatic influence machine (high voltage generator) in 1865, which would one day find use in early medical x-ray machines.

She sat at the back and they said she was shy She led from the front and they hated her pride They asked her advice and then questioned her guidance They branded her loud then were shocked by her silence When she shared no ambition, they said it was sad

So she told them her dreams and they said she was mad They told her they’d listen then covered their ears And gave her a hug whilst they laughed at her fears And she listened to all of it thinking she should Be the girl they told her to be best as she could

But one day she asked what was best for herself Instead of trying to please everyone else So she walked to the forest and stood with the trees She heard the wind whisper and dance with the leaves And she spoke to the willow, the elm and the pine
