Russia is openly bragging about a cruise missile powered by a miniature nuclear reactor. The weapon, called Burevestnik and nicknamed “Skyfall” by NATO, was presented by Vladimir Putin as something no one else has: a low-flying missile with “unlimited range” that can dodge missile defenses. Russia’s top general, Valery Gerasimov, told Putin that in an October 21 test the missile stayed in the air for 15 hours and flew about 14,000 kilometers, roughly 8,700 miles, which he said is still not the limit.⁠ ⁠ If that flight happened the way Moscow describes it, it would mark one of the longest demonstrations of nuclear propulsion ever reported in a cruise missile. The idea dates back to the U.S. Project Pluto of the 1950s, which explored nuclear-powered ramjet weapons before being shut down in 1964 over safety, cost, and the rise of ICBMs. Those same concerns are still here. A reactor that heats incoming air for thrust also risks spraying radioactive exhaust, and past Russian tests have already ended in deadly accidents and localized radiation spikes.⁠ ⁠ Western defense analysts are openly skeptical. Independent verification of the 15-hour test has not been produced, and past Burevestnik launches have mostly failed or only partially worked. Critics say the missile is technically extreme, strategically awkward, and environmentally reckless.⁠ ⁠ The politics are immediate. Donald Trump responded by downplaying the threat, saying the U.S. has nuclear submarines near Russia and telling Putin to end the war in Ukraine instead of advertising new doomsday weapons.⁠ ⁠ #tech #military #defense #nuclear #russia #ukraine #security #aerospace

Prakash Nemade, a humble farmer from Imdevadi village in Solapur district, Maharashtra, began his dairy journey in 1998 with just one cow. Initially selling milk on a small scale, he recognized the potential in dairy farming and gradually expanded his herd to 150 cows. Today, his dairy produces approximately 1,000 liters of milk daily, generating a monthly income in lakhs. Understanding that milk sales alone weren’t sufficient, Prakash turned his attention to an often-overlooked byproduct—cow dung. Recognizing its growing demand for organic farming and biogas production, he commercialized its use, adding another revenue stream to his business. Combining earnings from milk and dung sales, his annual income has now reached around ₹1.5 crore. With his earnings, Prakash constructed a luxurious ₹1 crore bungalow in his village, aptly named “Godhan Nivas.” His journey exemplifies how traditional farming, when approached with innovation and dedication, can transform into a lucrative enterprise. Prakash Nemade’s story serves as a beacon of inspiration for the new generation in rural areas. #PrakashNemade #DairyFarmingSuccess #OrganicFarming #BiogasEnergy #RuralEntrepreneurship #GodhanNivas #FarmersInspiration #Trending #MaharashtraFarmers #InnovativeAgriculture #Marketinggrowmatics

In the early hours of the morning, she felt “something just ain’t right”, she said at the time. Tracy thought “there was some poltergeist stuff going on”, but was far more horrified by what she actually found. It wasn’t a ghoul, it was her ex-partner who had spent two weeks living in her attic after being released from prison. Tracy had been in contact with the former partner while he was in prison, exchanging letters in which he claimed to have changed, but she’d never considered getting back together. She believed he had returned to Charlotte, North Carolina, after his most-recent arrest. It was Tracy’s adult sons and her nephew who discovered the unwelcome guest cowering at the back of the attic. “They found a man. He had packed all the old coats and jackets into the heating unit and was sleeping in the heating unit,” Tracy said. When he was rumbled, the ex-boyfriend ran out of the house before police arrived. He had been using large cups to relieve himself, with several of them discovered filled with feces and urine.

We have our Startup Battlefield victor! Glīd, a company that aims to streamline the complex, multistep process of moving shipping containers from ships to freight trains, has already developed a range of hardware and software to do so — including its first product, GliderM. I’d a hybrid-electric vehicle that can use a hook to pick up and move containers without needing forklifts. Founder Kevin Damoa had deal with logistics before, as a 17-year-old in the U.S. Army tasked with moving tanks across the country, and after stints with companies ranging from SpaceX to Northrup Grumman, Damoa was inspired to become a founder. “I had my come-to-Jesus moment. I looked around the globe, and I was like, ‘OK, rail is broken, ports are really congested, roads are congested, the fatalities on roads are crazy. Why aren’t more folks using rail?’ And then, my 17-year-old self tapped me on the shoulder, was like, ‘Because it’s hard to get things from road to rail,’” he said of Glid’s inception. Glid’s victory came after months of pitches and vetting, as thousands of companies were trimmed down to the Battlefield 200, from which the 20 startups pitching live at #TechCrunchDisrupt2025 were selected before our final batch of judges, which included Aileen Lee, founder and managing partner of Cowboy Ventures, and Digg founder Kevin Rose, made their call.

He traded rock stages for open ranges. French-born artist Mark Maggiori left a globe-trotting music career to pursue a lifelong fascination with cowboys, clouds, and the American West. That journey began at 15, during a cross-country road trip that left a lasting mark. Years later, armed with a film camera and a dream, Maggiori returned—captivated by ghost towns, endless horizons, and the spirit of the frontier. He made a bold choice: to dedicate his life to painting the West. Formally trained at the renowned Académie Julian in Paris, Maggiori now calls Arizona home, where he paints full time. His work fuses academic precision with cinematic emotion, often framed beneath sweeping skies that seem to breathe with memory. Each canvas tells a story. Each rider is a legend in motion.

The Azorean hood, known as the capote e capelo, was a traditional garment unique to the Azores and commonly worn until the 1930s, particularly on the island of Faial. Its origins remain uncertain—some trace it to Flanders, while others connect it to Portuguese fashions of the 17th and 18th centuries. The hood’s distinctive feature was its voluminous, cape-like form, which concealed the wearer’s body and revealed only part of her face. Although each island developed its own variation in cut and cowl style, the garment was consistently crafted from sturdy, electric-blue fabric. From the 15th century onward, the Azores’ strong Flemish presence contributed to its role as a cultural crossroads, where woad production, alongside whaling, became a vital part of the local economy.
