Call control: In the late 1800s, frustration led Almon B. Strowger, a funeral director in Kansas City, Missouri, U.S., to suspect a telephone operator was redirecting his calls to a competitor. Determined to fix this, he created a system that connected calls without operators. Using simple materials, he built an early version of an automatic switch that selected numbers through electrical pulses. With an electrician’s help, he refined his idea and patented it. Initially met with skepticism, his device gained traction after a successful demonstration, leading him to found the Strowger Automatic Telephone Company. His invention revolutionized communication, replacing operators with automated dialing and reshaping the telephone industry.

Hidden waters: Kayakers are discovering a whole new world beneath the surface, paddling through hidden waterways carved into caves and abandoned mines. From the vast flooded chambers of Kentucky’s Red River Gorge (U.S.) to the submerged caverns of Missouri, these secluded routes offer an escape from crowded rivers. Some tours glide through crystal-clear water in see-through kayaks, while others illuminate the darkness with glowing LED lights. Traces of old mining operations, from rusted pipes to forgotten tunnels, add a sense of mystery to the journey. These eerie yet mesmerizing spaces provide an unexpected mix of history, geology, and adventure.

Chess duel: An age-old tradition brings history to life in Marostica, in northern Italy, with a game of human chess. Dating back to a legendary contest between two suitors, this event replaces sword fights with strategy, turning a town square into a giant chessboard. Every two years, hundreds of costumed actors, musicians, and flag bearers recreate the spectacle, complete with fireworks and medieval pageantry. The moves, borrowed from famous chess matches, add to the drama. Spectators gather around the marble board in Piazza Castello, watching as the fate of the “players” unfolds. This blend of history, theatre, and competition proves that in Marostica, even a centuries-old love story can be won with a well-placed move.

Waddling parade: At the Calgary Zoo in Alberta, Canada, king penguins are the stars of a winter tradition, strolling through the zoo’s pathways in a daily walk. This event isn’t just for entertainment: it mimics their natural behaviour of trekking across icy landscapes. The penguins are not forced to make the daily walk, but usually they eagerly step outside. Cold temperatures and low winds ensure their health, protecting them from potential fungal exposure. While the younger birds burn off energy, the older ones benefit from the exercise. Zoo visitors watch as these striking birds waddle past, offering a rare, front-row look at their movements. It’s a simple yet captivating way to experience the charm of these Antarctic wanderers.
