PHOTOS: This is what‘s left of Palmyra after ISIS occupation
After months of occupation, Syrian troops have retaken the
ancient city of Palmyra from ISIS. The site gained international attention in
May 2015 when the terror group began destroying centuries-old monuments.
The damage, however, is not as bad as feared. While some
monuments have been toppled, some of the larger structures remain intact.
Palmyra had had about 150,000 visitors a year before Syria’s
civil war began.

citadel, central Syria. The

historic Syrian town of Palmyra was similar to what experts have
expected but the shock came Monday from inside the local museum where

Cat builds igloo during massive blizzard in Colorado
A determined cat named Boots who lives in Denver, Colorado built himself a mini igloo in his owner’s backyard after a massive snowstorm hit the region.
Photojournalist Adam Stevens posted the video on social media last week and to his surprise, it went viral.
It shows the adorable feline digging out a tunnel in the large pile of snow that accumulated in Stevens’ backyard. In his 15 minutes of Internet cat fame, Boots had his own Twitter account set up to track the igloo building progress.
In a sad turn of events, the igloo didn’t hold up to the warm weather that Easter weekend brought. The last video posted online shows Boots walking out on the snow, instead of digging through it.
Igloo is no more, thanks to some warmer weather. But I still like to walk around in the snow. Happy Easter Everyone! pic.twitter.com/b5U3w9fn0N

What’s the deal with Obama and Castro’s awkward hand embrace?
[Cuban President Raul Castro and U.S. President Barack Obama hold a joint news conference at the Palace of the Revolution, Monday, March 21, 2016, in Havana, Cuba. AP Photo/Ramon Espinosa]
It’s been 88 years since a meeting between the leaders of
Cuba and the U.S., so it’s only natural that things got a little awkward.
U.S. President Barack Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro are working on patching up relations between the two nations during an historic visit by the American leader.
In the clip, the U.S. president’s left arm goes limp as Castro lifts it up. We aren’t really sure what to make of the moment between the two leaders but the Internet sure had a lot to say.
Maybe Obama was just sitting on his arm for a while and it was asleep. https://t.co/NTkn5yKUS6
Goat enjoys the view from a seemingly impossible to reach height
[A mountain goat is making people wonder how he got up there / Reddit]
A photo of goat sitting atop a seemingly impossible to reach vantage point has raised a lot of questions among the Reddit community.
The animal is perched on top of a high, rock-like mountain looking down at the world.
As cool as the photo is, it poses questions such as what kind of epic pilgrimage did the goat go on to be in such a position?
What we do know however is that Rocky Mountain goats, native to North America, are crazy good at what they do.
One Redditor who used to live near them, said that “most of the time you see them, they’re not even grazing or doing something important… just chillin’. On the straight up most ridiculously dangerous part of the mountain they can find.”
Although it seems like a pointless practice, another user pointed out that they do it to avoid predators.
“The predators are much higher risk than falling so they deliberately go into these places to avoid them,” the user wrote.
The post has since received over 5,500 ‘up votes’ and is probably saving the reputations of goats everywhere, who took a major hit with all of the screaming goat videos.
A 35-year-old man’s attempt to steal security cameras was foiled after he was caught on video committing the act.
In the security footage, the robber, who police identified as Thomas Stillwell of Louisville after his arrest, can be seen inspecting the laundromat he broke into.
Micah Reed of EZ Wash told WLKY that the burglar was “literally hanging on the cameras until they gave way,” instead of using tools.
But after taking three security cameras and one decoy camera in what would appear to be a successful mission, he was caught because of the very things he stole.
Although this may be the most bizarre breaking and entering the laundromat has ever witnessed, it was not their first.
But this time around, Reed says that it was both a failure and a success.
“Failure in the sense our cameras are gone,” Reed told WLKY. “But success in the sense that hopefully there is some justice that comes from it.”
