The top mushroom of the Christmas tree is often decorated with ornaments, but it has a practical purpose as well. The large cap at the top of the tree helps to hold the tree together and keeps it from falling over. Without this mushroom-shaped cap, the tree would be more likely to topple over and potentially cause damage to your home.
In a time when everything is CGI, it’s nice to see some old-fashioned puppetry. The Minions are a big part of the Despicable Me franchise, and even got their own spin-off movie. It’s not just in the movies that we see them though; they’re everywhere! Minions have become such a huge part of popular culture that people are starting to wear them on their clothes and accessories. Here’s why everyone is wearing suits to minions.
Minions are small yellow creatures who were created by evil genius Gru in order to steal the moon. Since then, they have appeared in every Despicable Me movie as well as their own spin-off film. In fact, Minions have been so popular that they have also starred in their own TV series and several video games.
The trend of wearing suits with minions started with fans of the franchise, who wanted to show off their love for these yellow creatures by putting them on everything from t-shirts to phone cases. It soon became clear that there was more than one way to show your love for minions though; some fans decided that instead of just putting minion designs on things like clothing or accessories, they would wear an actual suit covered in minion designs.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak has resigned from his position in government. The resignation came as a surprise to many, with some speculating that he may have been planning it for some time. He will be replaced by former Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves. Here’s everything you need to know about the man who just quit.
Rishi Sunak was born in 1979 and raised in London. He went on to study at Oxford University and Harvard Business School before working for both JP Morgan and Credit Suisse. In 2010, he joined Deutsche Bank as an investment banker before being appointed head of corporate finance for Europe, Middle East and Africa in 2013. In 2015, he left Deutsche Bank to work for a family investment business, but returned to the world of politics when Prime Minister Boris Johnson appointed him Chancellor of the Exchequer in June 2020.

While most dogs are not afraid of fireworks, there are some that do suffer from this fear. In fact, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), up to 20% of dogs are frightened by loud noises. These include thunderstorms, firecrackers and fireworks. If your dog is afraid of loud noises, you may notice them shaking or cowering during these events. They may also become destructive or bark excessively.
Dogs can be scared of fireworks for a number of reasons. For example, if they have been hurt by fireworks in the past, they may be frightened by them in the future. However, this is not always the case as many dogs will never have been hurt by fireworks before and still become scared when they hear them.
Fireworks
“Why do dogs hate firework?”
Fireworks produce a sudden and loud sound that startles most animals who hear it. It is no different for dogs who can be startled by this sudden noise and then react with fear or aggression.
The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is the national police force for England and Wales. The MPS was formed in 1829 when the county constabularies of London were merged into a single organisation. The Met’s headquarters are located at New Scotland Yard, in Westminster, London. It currently employs over 40,000 people and its budget for 2018/19 is £4.8 billion.
The Met has six territorial police forces under its command: City of London Police, Greater Manchester Police, Merseyside Police, Northumbria Police, South Yorkshire Police and West Midlands Police. These forces are responsible for policing their own areas while the Met investigates serious crime that crosses over multiple jurisdictions or affects London as a whole.
What does 12 stand for?
“12”, or “one-two”, has been used to describe police officers since at least the late 19th century.
In 1876, Sir Richard Mayne – who was then Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police – wrote a report on the force’s nicknames: “There are many names by which our Force is known; some complimentary and some otherwise; but I think we may assume that there are none so popular as ‘the Peelers’ (derived from Sir Robert Peel) and ‘the Cops’ (a shortening of ‘Peelers’). Both these nicknames have been applied to us in derision by our adversaries; but they have stuck to us like leeches, through all our changes of uniform… I think it will be found that there are few men who joined our Force at an early age who do not retain these names as their pet ones… We cannot escape them except by adopting other nicknames ourselves; but such change would be unwise as well as unnecessary.”
