Post boxes in England were not always red. For much of the 19th century, they were painted green, designed to blend into the landscape. But there was a problem. People kept walking past them. In poor light, fog, or rain, they were difficult to spot. Letters were missed. The system suffered. So in 1874, a solution was introduced. Bright red. Red made post boxes instantly visible in all conditions. A small number of green post boxes still survive today, but they are exceptionally rare. Have you ever come across one of the original green post boxes?

Cómo pasó el Arsenal de jugar así a ser el Córner FC?

Tras el partido entre PSG y Liverpool, a Marquinhos le preguntan por Luchito Díaz, a quien tuvo que marcar casi todo el encuentro. A Marquinhos se le sale una sonrisa y dice: "Es un campeón. Lo he estado siguiendo desde su época en el Liverpool y también con la selección. Es un jugador muy difícil de marcar en situaciones de uno contra uno. Defender a un jugador como este, que constantemente busca situaciones de uno contra uno, es muy difícil." Marquinhos dijo también que este es el tipo de partidos que soñaba jugar cuando niño. Cuando la rivalidad y la competencia al máximo nivel se disfruta. Grande Marquinhos.

El Coliseo Romano, originalmente llamado Anfiteatro Flavio, es una de las obras de ingeniería más impresionantes de la antigüedad. Su historia es un reflejo del auge, la caída y la transformación de la civilización romana. Tras la muerte de Nerón, el emperador Vespasianoinició la construcción sobre el antiguo lago artificial de la lujosa Domus Aurea de Nerón. Fue un gesto político para devolver al pueblo romano un terreno que el tirano anterior había tomado para su uso privado. Fue inaugurado en el año 80 d.C. por su hijo Tito con juegos que duraron 100 días. Se estima que se sacrificaron miles de animales salvajes y cientos de gladiadores murieron en la arena.

KEDİLER EVDE YALNIZ KALINCA NE HİSSEDER? GERÇEK ÇOK FARKLI 🏠 Kedi yalnız kalınca her zaman “terk edildim” diye düşünmez; çoğu zaman evdeki sessizliği güvenli alan gibi algılar. 🏠 Ama sahibine bağlı kediler, uzun süre yalnız kalınca özlem ve huzursuzluk yaşayabilir. 🏠 Kapıya yakın beklemesi, seslere kulak kesilmesi ve siz gelince heyecanlanması bağ kurduğunu gösterir. 🏠 Bazı kediler yalnızlığı uyuyarak geçirir; çünkü evin sakinleşmesi onlar için dinlenme fırsatıdır. 🏠 Çok uzun yalnızlık ise can sıkıntısı, fazla miyavlama veya eşya tırmalama gibi davranışlara yol açabilir. 🏠 Oyuncak, pencere önü ve güvenli saklanma alanı kedinin yalnız kaldığında daha rahat hissetmesini sağlar. 🏠 Eve döndüğünüzde yanınıza gelmesi sadece mama beklentisi değil, sosyal temas isteği de olabilir. 🏠 Kısacası kedi yalnız kalabilir ama tamamen ilgisiz bir canlı değildir; kendi sessiz diliyle sizi bekler.

Piazza dell’Anfiteatro, Lucca 🇮🇹 2,000 years ago this was a Roman amphitheater. The city just built right on top of it and kept the shape.

The baby’s cry sounded very similar to that of a fawn. The mother deer followed her instincts and rushed in to help, until she realized it was humans. Truly a brave “mother” deer 🦌 The deer was like: “Help is on the way, Deerie!” 🥺

Americans love banging on about the War of Independence. They’re quieter on the War of 1812. Here’s why. In 1812, America declared war on Britain. The plan was to march into Canada and annex it. Thomas Jefferson said it would be “a mere matter of marching.” It wasn’t. The Canadians sent them packing. Two years later, the British sailed up the Potomac. American forces collapsed at Bladensburg in what’s still called “the Bladensburg Races” because of how fast they ran. President Madison had already fled to Maryland. The British walked into Washington unopposed. They sat down in the White House, ate the dinner Dolley Madison had laid out for forty guests, used the President’s silver, then set fire to the building. Then they burned the Capitol, the Treasury and the Navy Yard. A freak thunderstorm put the fires out the next day. The British left when they were ready. It’s still the only time a foreign army has captured the US capital. You can see why it doesn’t come up much.

The "it was due two weeks ago" does it for me. 😂 Good on him for standing up for TA’s though.
