Pepsi was first invented in 1893 as "Brad's Drink" by Caleb Bradham, who sold the drink at his drugstore in New Bern, North Carolina. It was renamed Pepsi-Cola in 1898, "Pepsi" because it was advertised to relieve dyspepsia (indigestion) and "Cola" referring to the cola flavour.

"By golly, look at it go, Branston!" the older businessman said, pleasantly surprised at the unexpected mannerism of the robot that. Branston just raised an eyebrow in scrutiny. He had to be sure of the thing they were about to invest in.
"So how do you like him, gentlemen? He's ready to work, self-sufficient, intelligent, and he'll definitely do good work in the mines," the inventor said. His partner grinned in satisfaction, sure of their creation, knowing that with this one chance, they can and will finally land their first big break. He just hoped that Branston agrees as well, of course.

Thomas A. Edison invented his first phonograph in 1877. The sound was recorded on tinfoil around a grooved cylinder.
Despite its limited sound quality and that the recordings could be played only a few times, the phonograph made Edison a celebrity. Although Edison obtained a patent for the phonograph in 1878, he did little to develop it until Alexander Graham Bell and others produced phonograph-like device in the 1880s that used wax-coated cardboard cylinders.

Rocchetta Mattei is the name of a romantic castle built in the mountains near Bologna by Italian miracle-maker Cesare Mattei in the 19th century.
Cesare Mattei, inventor of "Electro-Homeopathy" lived there after its completion in 1859. Crowned heads and celebrities from all over the world consulted the miracle healer here. In 1847 he was even raised by the Pope of Rome after a generous donation even to the count. Also Empress Sissi of Austria and the Russian Tsar are said to have belonged to his patients.
After being restored by a citizens' initiative of the city of Bologna, the Rocchetta has been open to the public again since 2015.
Carte de visite by H.H. Freeman of Belvidere, Ill. A man stands next to what appears to be a model of an engineering improvement. He may have been the brain behind the invention, and intended this image to be submitted to the patent office in Washington, D.C. Using photography for this came of age when the carte de visite became all the rage in the U.S.
I encourage you to use this image for educational purposes only. However, please ask for permission.

Hattie: Hello, what are you doing?
Tina: I'm inventing kids. Duh! What does it look like?
Hattie: Perhaps kidnapping to start with. Then unscrupulous handling of minors.
Tina: Pah! My dear child, this is science at its best. Only this little chap didn't fit in the oven. A setback I'll admit.
Hattie: Hm. Oh, that little nipper is getting away.
Tina: Quick! Grab the tongs and get him! He'll fit in there for sure.

Alfred Nobel´s aluminium hulled naphta sloop Mignon photographed in 1892-1896 in Switzerland by R. Guber. My colorization of an image in the Swedish Digital Museum.
"A naphtha launch, sometimes called a "vapor launch", was a small motor launch, powered by a naphtha engine. They were a particularly American design, brought into being by a local law that made it impractical to use a steam launch for private use." --
"The first naphtha launch appears to have been British, reported in the French journal La Nature in 1888. This launch, Zephyr, was the invention of Alfred Yarrow, a well-known builder of steam launches for some years previously. Similar launches were produced in the same year by the Swiss company Escher Wyss AG. One of these was Alfred Nobel's graceful aluminium-hulled sloop Mignon, of 1892."
"Alfred Bernhard Nobel ( 21 October 1833 – 10 December 1896) was a Swedish businessman, chemist, engineer, inventor, and philanthropist. He held 355 different patents, dynamite being the most famous. The synthetic element nobelium was named after him. He owned Bofors, which he redirected from its previous role as primarily an iron and steel producer to a major manufacturer of cannon and other armaments. Having read a premature obituary which condemned him for profiting from the sales of arms, he bequeathed his fortune to institute the Nobel Prize."

I made this guy in early 2018, and i personally consider him to be a massive turning point in my proficiency as a builder. The moc itself is a reimagining of an older character in a much sleeker refined style, which ended up being something i would try and stick to ever since.
The old photo i have of him is a bit outdated now as i made several minor changes to the moc each time i went to a new convention or fixed him up from a shelf fall, so i figured he deserved a new photoshoot. I like this pose a lot more too.

His Genius lives despite massive cover-up.
Nikola Tesla's prediction of a smartphone, Collier’s magazine interview, 1926:
"When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance.
Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we shall be able to do his will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone.
A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket."

I told Apollo about Zhi's and my need for a time machine..and seeing as though Apollo is such a genius, he worked for days and days without food or sleep and finally ...he did it..a time machine that will transport you to any time..for us, Zhi, it is designation..the Victorian era!
I am curious what time everyone would want to go to in Apollo's time machine? Any time is possible! <3
