EARPRINTS
First there were fingerprints, then came DNA profiling to aid the police in finding criminals. And now we’ve gone one step further still: earprints.
British police have begun putting together a database of criminals earprints.
Just like fingerprints, no two ear lobe prints are exactly the same, and earprints can be found with remarkable ease at many crimes sites.
Unwary burglars often leave an earprint when listening at windows and doors before they commit their crime.
Roger Summers, head of Derbyshire Police’s scientific support unit, admits that it is not foolproof.
“Nobody has been convicted purely on earprint evidence. It may be that earprints will not stand up in court in the same way as fingerprints, but they could be useful corroborative evidence,” he says.

Almost three-fourths of the earth is under the ocean. Until a few years ago, people did not know what the ocean bottom was like.
The ocean bottom is different from what we thought. After World War I scientists made a new machine. This machine told them what the bottom of the ocean was like. The machine told how deep the ocean is in each place. For a long time many people thought the ocean bottom was flat. Now we know that there are large mountains and deep holes in the ocean bottom.
“... what the ocean bottom was like.” refers to

The Eiffel Tower is probably the most famous and distinctive building in Paris, but before I saw it for the first time, when I was about 23, I had thought of it as an impressive piece of grey metal. Obviously it had been a contemporary design back in the nineteenth century when it was built, but even then, most Parisians had hated it. And it did nothing for me. So when I first went to Paris I didn’t rush to visit it. Then one day the friend I was with insisted that we went to see it. We got out of the Metro and turned a corner and there it was. It was huge! What surprised me was that it had a colour, a kind of dull brown. Then there was the beauty of the iron work.
It was so delicate. Look up and up and up and finally you see the top. It has no function, but perhaps that’s part of the attraction. I love it!

SPRINGTIME ALLERGIES
Spring is about to, well, spring, and with those beautiful blooming trees and flowers come blowing noses, itchy eyes and sneezing – seasonal allergies.
It’s not just pollen that can create an irritation – dust, smoke and chemicals such as perfumes and dyes are culprits as well. Seasonal allergies can also heighten your sensitivity to these irritants, making for one miserable rite of spring.
Not surprisingly, cats can be sensitive, too – about 15 percent are intolerant to substances such as chemicals and dyes.
A few simple strategies can help minimize exposure and help you and your kitty.
