Word Of The Day. Corniche. Noun A road cut into the edge of a cliff, especially one running along a coast. Example Sentences “The luxury condos being built along the corniche offer breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean.” “The new development plan includes extending the area along the corniche to create a public park.” “Restaurants along the corniche are always packed during summer evenings.” Word Origin French, mid-19th century Have you ever driven along a picturesque seaside highway where hills rise up along one side of the road and cliffs drop to the beach on the other? That roadway is a classic corniche. The word “corniche” is related to a French architecture term, “cornice,” which is an ornamental molding around the top of a ceiling or, traditionally, crowning the top of a building. The cornice was inspired by classical Greek architecture, namely the “korōnis,” or the coping stone, which is still used in modern masonry. It’s the flat stone that sits atop brickwork or stonework to protect it from the elements. The next time you’re driving along a corniche and admiring the views, remember these architecture terms that inspired the name of the road perched along the edge of a cliff.

What can cats see that humans can't? 🐱 Cats can see UV light, which is invisible to humans. Cats can do a lot of things their human friends can’t: They can purr, sleep all day without consequence, and jump up to six times their own height in a single leap. But perhaps most impressive of all is their ability to see ultraviolet light thanks to UV-transparent lenses in their eyes that allow UV light to reach their retinas. This will come as little surprise to anyone who’s ever noticed their cat staring at seemingly nothing for minutes at a time, but it’s a fascinating insight into how our feline friends view the world all the same. In fact, their UV vision actually allows them to see their prey’s urine trail while hunting and distinguish between their prey and a similarly colored background. This ability may not help your housecat in any practical ways on a daily basis, as being fed from a can doesn’t require much in the way of hunting, but it’s still a cool evolutionary trick. And cats aren’t the only animals with this ability. Bees, birds, reindeer, and mice have this enhanced vision as well, though for some of them it comes with the trade-off of not being able to see the color red. Humans have kept cats as pets for at least 9,500 years. When we think of cats in the ancient world, Egypt tends to come to mind first. Egyptians considered felines sacred and some even mummified their pets, but they weren’t the first to hold cats in such high regard. There’s evidence to suggest they were beaten to the punch by at least 4,000 years: A grave in Cyprus dating back some 9,500 years contained the remains of a human and cat alongside decorative objects such as seashells and polished stones. Cats aren’t native to the island, meaning they must have been brought there by humans — perhaps “on a kind of Noah’s ark,” as archaeologist Melinda Zeder told National Geographic, theorizing that a number of non-native animals were transported to Cyprus. #Animals #Cats

On 12 February 1993 in Merseyside, England two 10-year-old boys, Robert Thompson and Jon Venables , abducted, tortured, and murdered a 2-year-old boy, James Patrick Bulger. Thompson and Venables led Bulger away from the New Strand Shopping Centre in Bootle, after his mother had taken her eyes off him momentarily. After Bulger was led away from his mother at a shopping center in Bootle. The boys took him to a railway line, where they physically abused and killed him. One of the boys threw the blue paint that they had shoplifted earlier into Bulger's left eye. They kicked, stamped, and threw bricks and stones at him. They placed batteries in Bulger's mouth although none were found there. Finally, the boys dropped a 10 kg (22 lb) railway fishplate on Bulger. He sustained 10 skull fractures as a result of the bar striking his head. Pathologist Alan Williams stated that Bulger suffered so many injuries—42 in total—that none could be identified as the fatal blow. Following this heinous act, the boys callously placed James's lifeless body on the railway tracks in the hope that it would appear as though he had been struck by a train. His body was found on a railway line two and a half miles (four kilometers) away in Walton, Liverpool, two days later. and Venables and Thompson were arrested and charged with murder. Jon Venables, one of the two boys who murdered James Bulger in 1993, has lost his parole bid to be released from prison in 2023. Home Secretary David Blunkett approved the decision, and they were released a few weeks later on lifelong license after serving eight years. It was reported that both boys "were given new identities and moved to secret locations under a 'witness protection'-like program. #TrueCrime
