| Workers pose with British cannonball unearthed after 250 years - not realising it was still live Posted: 15 Jul 2017 08:37 AM PDT  When a Canadian construction team came across a giant cannonball as they excavated a building site in Quebec, they did what anyone else would do in this age of Snapchat and Instagram. They moved the 200lb projectile into better view and posed with it for photographs. It was only later, when an archaeologist was studying the missile, the workers learned of their lucky escape: The cannonball was still live, packed with a charge and gunpowder just as it would have been when fired by British gunners during the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759. Construction workers found the cannonball in Old Quebec Credit: Lafontaine/Facebook A team of army bomb disposal experts was hurriedly called in to make the artefact safe. "With time, humidity got into its interior and reduced its potential for exploding, but there's still a danger," Master Warrant Officer Sylvain Trudel, a senior munitions technician, told the Canadian broadcaster CBC. They are now working out whether they can make the cannonball safe - for display in a museum - or whether it must be destroyed. "Old munitions like this are hard to predict," said Mr Trudel. "You never know to what point the chemicals inside have degraded." It had lain buried for more than 250 years in what is now known as Old Quebec, the historic quarter of Quebec City. Historians believe it was fired during the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, a pivotal moment in the war between Britain and France for control of the land that would become Canada – and a small part of the wider Seven Years War as Europe's two most powerful nations fought each other around the world. Cannon Shot at Refrigerator 01:51 In 1759, British forces defeated the French and seized Quebec City forming what would become known as Britain's "annus mirablis". The battle lasted no more than an hour – and cost the lives of the commanding officers on either side - but came at the end of a three-month siege. The cannonball was most likely fired at Quebec City from the far side of the St Lawrence River where British gun batteries were based. Army munitions experts must decide whether they can make the cannonball safe or whether it must be destroyed Credit: Lafontaine/Facebook Although cannon generally fired solid iron balls, armourers also designed projectiles equipped with timed charges or fashioned into crude incendiary devices. Mr Trudel said such the newly discovered ball was designed to set fire to the buildings it penetrated. "The ball would break and the powder would ignite, setting fire to the building," he said.

| Congrats to this clever mama raccoon who broke into a car to give birth Posted: 15 Jul 2017 09:16 AM PDT  No one wants their car broken into, but sometimes you gotta give credit where credit is due. Consider, for example, this mother raccoon, who climbed through a plastic window cover and tumbled into the backseat of a parked convertible at an auto shop so she could safely give birth to her kits. She was later relocated by Devon of Wildlife, Inc. Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in Manatee, Florida. SEE ALSO: Pelican in a cop car wants you to know this isn't what it looks like "I captured the mother, then 2 caring employees and I searched the entire car for her babies," Devon wrote in a Facebook post. "Once they were both accounted for, I relocated them to some woods where she can continue to raise them." According to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune , the second kit — who is good at sneaking around, just like its mom — was hidden in the trunk. Raccoon litters are usually between three and five kits, so there's a good chance the mother was still pregnant when she was relocated. Perhaps she'll choose a less, er, spoken-for place next time. Might we suggest a nice tree cavity? WATCH: An iceberg the size of Delaware broke off Antarctica

| Never marry your daughter: the fatherhood lessons we can all learn from Game of Thrones Posted: 16 Jul 2017 01:00 AM PDT  Game of Thrones makes its much anticipated return to TV screens on Sunday. And if the epic fantasy is about anything – aside from politics, dragons, murders, and zombie snowmen – it's about the father-heir relationship. Fathers passing on the lineage of their House, or sentencing their offspring to death for not cutting the family mustard. Sons trying to live up to their father's name, or bumping off the old man for power instead. Yes, those parent-child relationships can be tricky. So, taking examples from the best (and worst) fathers from Westeros, here are a few lessons in parenting that all dads can relate to. Game of Thrones Season 7 trailer 01:35 1. Lead by example (your kids will follow – good or bad) Dad Lesson From: Ned Stark & Roose Bolton You know deep down that you're far from perfect, but your kids will look up to you no matter what. Ned Stark was honourable (to a fault, in fact – it's that kind of integrity that got him executed) and so are his kids (though it got a couple of them executed too). Roose Bolton, on the other hand, was a treacherous double-crosser who turned on the Starks and stole their castle. It's little surprise then, that his son Ramsey grew up to be the North's most vicious delinquent – and murdered his own father so he could have the castle himself. 2. You won't get a minute's peace (not even on the toilet) Dad Lesson From: Tywin Lannister Tywin knows about the unglamorous side of being a dad. You can't even sit on the loo without one of your kids hassling you. I know how he feels. In Tywin's case, it's his Imp son Tyrion, who he's just sentenced to death – the final act of fatherly disappointment. In my case, my eighteen-month-old, who admittedly just wants to sit on my lap or unravel a toilet roll, rather than confronting me about why I never loved him and then skewering me a crossbow. Still annoying though. 3. You can't have favourites (even if one of them is a little b-word) Dad Lesson From: Ned Stark It's arguably the greatest parenting taboo of them all, admitting that you've got a favourite. But chances are, if you're in any way human, the thought has passed through your mind – especially when one of the kids is playing up. But if Lord Eddard Stark has a favourite, he never showed it. Even Jon Snow – the boy Ned raised as his illegitimate son – got equal treatment. You have to admire Ned's commitment to good, fair parenting – especially in a world where the only thing more complicated than the father-son relationships are the father/b*stard son relationships. Jon Snow has turned out pretty well. In fact, a tenner says he's king by the end of the series. 4. Tell your kids they make you proud (no matter how utterly useless they are) Dad Lesson From: Randyll Tarley Lord Tarley, a proud warrior and nobleman, has always been ashamed of his son Samwell, who – to be fair – is a clumsy heffalump who's more interested in books that beheading enemies. Whether we want to admit it or not, a lot of us dads know how Randyll feels. For instance, my five-year-old's performance in the three-legged race last year was an embarrassment for everyone who witnessed it. I would never tell him, of course. I certainly wouldn't have sent him to the Night's Watch for a lifetime of celibacy and servitude. That's asking for guaranteed daddy issues and resentment. 5. Don't spoil them (unless you want to raise a tyrant) Dad Lesson From: Robert Baratheon It's easy to get carried away. You want your kids to have the best. You love the excitement on their faces when they get a new toy or open a bag of sweets. But it's double-edged sword (and it could be a literal double-edged sword, if you're spoiling them with, erm, swords). Look at King Robert Baratheon and his heir Joffrey. Willfully ignoring the fact that Joff's not his biological son, Robert's riches and nonchalant parenting (he only seems bothered about Joffrey when the boy's out-duelled by a girl) turned Joffery into a spoilt brat/sadist monster. Spoilt rotten, you could say. 6. Give your kids some attention (or they'll do crazy things to get it) Dad Lesson From: Balon Greyjoy How many times have you skipped a bedtime story because you were too tired? Or plonked your kids in front the TV because you're too busy? And how many times have the kids played up just to get a few seconds of valuable fatherly attention? If there was ever proof that you'll regret not being an attentive dad, it's Balon Greyjoy. He spurned his estranged son Theon, prompting Theon to seek his father's approval by sacking Winterfell and murdering everyone – which he ended up getting the, well, chop for. Bet Balon wishes he'd just given his son a cuddle as he opened up that parcel containing Theon's favourite body part. 7. You always regret tough love (it really, really burns them) Dad Lesson From: Stannis Baratheon We've all been there. The kids won't eat their dinner. They won't put their shoes on. They're screaming in the backseat. All of a sudden, you snap – raise your voice, dish out some unreasonably tough discipline, then spend the rest of day worrying you've been too harsh and you're somehow psychologically damaging your children. It's that kind of thing that makes fatherhood one long anxious worry. So think about how Stannis Baratheon feels. He dished out the toughest love of all – burning his daughter Shireen at the stake. And she wasn't anywhere near as annoying as my kids are. It's no wonder Stannis welcomed his death at the hand of Brienne just days later. 8. Treat boys and girls the same (girls can play with swords too, you know) Dad Lesson From: Ned Stark & Craster That's not to say gender neutral parenting is the only way (it's a bit hippy-ish, even for the decidedly gender-neutral eunuchs), but it's a sad day when your kids start seeing the world in terms of "boy things" and "girl things" – like their innocence has been lost. Put them on the right track by teaching them boys and girls are equal. Ned Stark – yes, that relentless do-gooder again, but to be fair, he's a ruddy good dad – broke gender norms by letting tomboy Arya swordfight, which put her in good stead. On the flipside, there's wilding nutcase Craster, who's so backward on the whole "boys and girls are equal" thing that he leaves his baby sons out in the woods to be gobbled up by White Walkers. Saying that, he marries his daughters too. Terrible parenting.
