Did you know? Edith Louisa Cavell was a British nurse, humanitarian and spy. She is celebrated for helping some 200 Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium during World War I, for which she was arrested. She is well-known for her statement that “patriotism is not enough.” Her strong Anglican beliefs propelled her to help all those who needed it, both German and Allied soldiers. She was quoted as saying, “I can’t stop while there are lives to be saved”. Cavell was also an influential pioneer of modern nursing in Belgium.

Did you know? In its early form, the candy cane began as a simple white stick of sugar for children to enjoy – there was no “cane” shape or stripes to speak of. These sticks were made by confectioners who had to pull, cut, twist, and (in later years) bend the sugar sticks by hand, making it a time-intensive process. Candy cane production had to be done locally, since they were easily damaged and vulnerable to moisture.

Did you know? The Siamese is one of the first distinctly recognized breeds of Oriental cat. The exact origins of the breed are unknown, but it is believed to be from Southeast Asia, and is said to be descended from the sacred temple cats of Siam (now Thailand). Today there are over a dozen breeds derived from the Siamese.

Did you know? The British tomb of The Unknown Warrior holds an unidentified British soldier killed on a European battlefield during the First World War. He was buried in Westminster Abbey, London on 11 November 1920, simultaneously with a similar interment of a French unknown soldier at the Arc de Triomphe in France, making both tombs the first to honor the unknown dead of the First World War.

Did you know? Corduroy is a textile composed of twisted fibers that, when woven, lie parallel (similar to twill) to one another to form the cloth’s distinct pattern, a “cord.” Modern corduroy is most commonly composed of tufted cords, sometimes exhibiting a channel (bare to the base fabric) between the tufts. Corduroy is, in essence, a ridged form of velvet.

Did you know? In physics, all magnets have two poles that are distinguished by the direction of the magnetic flux. Based on the early use of magnets in compasses they were named the “north pole” (or more explicitly “north-seeking pole”), “N”, and the “south pole” (or “south-seeking pole”), “S”. Because opposite poles attract, the Earth’s North Magnetic Pole is therefore, by this definition, physically a magnetic field south pole. Conversely, the Earth’s South Magnetic Pole is physically a magnetic field north pole.
