In 2015, Mount Athos saw its first snowfall in seven years. After breakfast, Orthodox monks stepped outside and quickly showed impressive snowball-throwing skills, even without much experience.
Within a short time, all the snow had been used up, and everyone quietly returned to their rooms as if nothing had happened.

In January 1997, Princess Diana traveled to Angola to highlight the deadly impact of landmines.
Supporting The HALO Trust, she donned protective gear and walked through a cleared minefield in Huambo, bringing worldwide attention to the issue.
Her visit was a turning point, putting pressure on governments to act.
Later that year, the Ottawa Treaty to ban landmines was signed, further cementing Diana’s legacy as a compassionate humanitarian.

In 2002, 19-year-old Michael Carroll won a $12 million lottery jackpot, instantly becoming a millionaire overnight.
But within a few years, he burned through his fortune on drugs, gambling, parties, and luxury. By 2010, Carroll was completely broke and working as a garbage man.
Today, he earns a living as a coal man — and despite losing it all, he says he has no regrets, famously remarking, “I’d do it all over again.”

A group of men wearing zoot suits in 1948. The zoot suit is known for being composed of loose, high-waisted pants that taper down into fitted cuffs and a jacket that has large lapels and shoulder pads.

Debuting in 1931, the Lancia Astura upheld the brand’s reputation for innovation and luxury.
By 1933, the third series introduced a more powerful 82-hp engine and offered two wheelbase options: the longer 233L and the shorter 233C.
While most Astura models had conservative styling, elite clients turned to top coachbuilders like Pinin Farina and designer Mario Revelli di Beaumont.
Their masterpiece? The stunning 1936 Astura Cabriolet ‘Tipo Bocca’ — a true blend of engineering and Italian elegance.
