Couple Check Pet Cam, Realize Cat Is Trying To Warn Them About Something
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. One-year-old Marble the cat has been praised online after he warned his owners that their fire was burning out of control while they were out of the house. On a winter evening last year, Sabeen Shaikh, 31, from San Francisco, hosted friends and lit the fireplace for Marble, who relishes the cozy warmth of crackling flames. When the evening wrapped up, the fire was extinguished and the group left for dessert. But soon after, Shaikh received a motion alert from her Blink pet camera—and the thumbnail was ablaze with bright orange. "We saw Marble standing in front of the camera with the blazing fireplace behind him," Shaikh told Newsweek. "We turned around and raced back home." Luckily, the couple were just two minutes away, and when they returned they realized the fire was contained in the hearth—not nearly as dramatic as the camera made it look.

The moment was captured on the family's security cameras, and has since been shared on TikTok where it has been viewed more than 7 million times. In the comments, TikTokers shared their reactions to the heroic cat's actions. "She's looking at the camera like 'where y'all at?'" said Etherealkae. While viewer Lima wrote: "Thank god you had a camera in the right place, and a smart cat!" Another viewer, @ joked: "Plot twist—Marble was the one that reignited the fire."

"I'm overwhelmed with the views, likes, and comments. They are hilarious and I knew one day marble would the one who would make my TikTok go viral because he's such a silly boy!" This isn't the first time a pet has been dubbed a "hero" for warning their owners about a fire. In 2022, 9-month-old Rae from Oregon started barking at the door unexpectedly. When her owners looked out, they realized what was happening—a large wildfire was burning just outside the home. Because of Rae's helpful pre-warning, the family were able to put the fire out quickly and there was minimal damage to the home. Another dog was praised after he started scratching at the door in the early hours of Christmas eve. When the owners opened the door to see what was wrong, they realized why the pup was raising the alarm—the house was on fire. Thanks to the pup, the family were warned before the fire alarms even went off and were able to wake their children and get out of the burning building in time.

A Netflix show looks back on the 'poop cruise': Here's what happened
About halfway through 'Trainwreck: Poop Cruise,' a new undefined on Netflix, Devin Marble wanders around dark hallways on a Carnival Cruise Line ship searching for a working bathroom. The then 28-year-old was a passenger onboard the Carnival Triumph, which lost power following an engine room fire in 2013 – including to flush most onboard toilets. 'But every time I walked into a bathroom, you open up the door, 'Nope, that one doesn't work,'' he said in the show. 'Go into the next one, 'Nope, that one's disgusting. That one doesn't work.'' The ship was stranded near Mexico with more than 3,000 guests, including Marble and his soon-to-be wife and in-laws. Marble eventually found a bathroom, and more than a decade later, his camera footage makes up part of the latest installment of the 'Trainwreck' anthology series, which debuted Tuesday. 'You know, it's funny. Looking back on it, I keep thinking to myself it wasn't as bad as I thought at the time,' Marble, now 40, told USA TODAY ahead of the episode's premiere. 'And maybe time helps heal all wounds.' What is 'Trainwreck: Poop Cruise' about? The episode traces a February 2013 cruise aboard Carnival Triumph from Galveston, Texas to Mexico. The trip went smoothly until its return journey, when the fire left the ship dead in the water with insufficient backup power. Passengers were stuck onboard for around four days without working toilets, air conditioning or lighting in many parts of the ship before it was finally towed to Mobile, Alabama. Guests who had been sunbathing on the open decks were soon dragging mattresses out of their cabins to escape stifling heat. Plentiful buffet selections were replaced by what was leftover after many perishables were discarded. And crew members tried to keep guests comfortable and safe – even as sewage began flooding parts of the ship. One employee can be seen in the documentary standing in brown water in his cabin. 'You start off with two worlds, which are the passengers and the crew, and really they never mix,' director James Ross told USA TODAY. 'But actually, once this disaster happens, everybody's in the same boat, literally. So what's happening to the passengers, that's also happening to the crew as well, they're having to deal with this situation. So, a lot of the walls that are kind of necessarily built for people to have the holiday vacation of a lifetime, those walls start to crumble down – and then you get this really interesting mix of, we're all just human beings stuck on board a boat with no toilets.' The episode incorporates footage from the ship, such as the clips Marble captured, which he initially began filming to memorialize his vacation. An archive team also assisted with gathering others. They recreated scenes that were less likely to be filmed in the moment, such as operations on the bridge. 'Those were things that we had to get creative and reconstruct,' said Ross. 'You know, there's never really a moment as a director when you're trying to work out how you're going to film someone going for a wee in a shower.' Carnival told USA TODAY the incident was a 'teachable moment for the entire cruise industry.' 'A thorough investigation following the incident revealed a design vulnerability which was corrected and led Carnival Cruise Line to invest more than $500 million across our entire fleet in comprehensive fire prevention and suppression, improved redundancy, and enhanced management systems, all in support of our commitment to robust safety standards,' the cruise line said in an emailed statement. 'This is in addition to our vigorous Health, Environmental, Safety and Security (HESS) protocols that guide the entire Carnival Corporation fleet as we maintain our commitment to industry leadership in this area.' The ship still sails under the name Carnival Sunrise. How long is 'Trainwreck: Poop Cruise'? The episode runs about 55 minutes long. How do I watch 'Trainwreck: Poop Cruise'? The episode is now available to stream on Netflix. Marble credited the crew members as "superheroes" and said the ordeal became a bonding experience for him and his new extended family. He learned, for example, that he and his now-wife's father both traveled with extra batteries and flashlights just in case, even before the events unfolded. 'Crisis shows people's true colors,' he said.

Neil Cowley Trio, St Luke's, Glasgow ★★★★ Following a seven-year hiatus after their wonderful Spacebound Apes album, the Neil Cowley Trio have a new album and are back on the road – with a vengeance, as manifested by their take-no-prisoners set on the opening night of Glasgow Jazz Festival. Neil Cowley Trio | Contributed The new album's title, Entity, certainly hints at the tightly organic interplay between Cowley on piano, double-bassist Rex Horan and drummer Evan Jenkins, right from their opener, Marble, the piano's stately ringing escorted by thrumming bass and drum mallets. The subsequent scampering keyboard hook of Lemon Meringue worked up a mighty groove, not least through Horan's bass reverberating through our seats. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Cowley had forsaken the ethereal electronica which can shimmer around his studio playing; instead this was full-on piano, as in the unremitting batter of Sharks of Competition, Jenkins cutting loose on drums, at times making you wonder whether they were being egged on by the toy T-Rex perched above Cowley's keyboard. In contrast, Cowley spelled out the spare, lyrical melody of Father Daughter, while numbers such as the title track from the new album, Entity, created expansively rippling arpeggios that the trio could whip into yet another bass and drums storm. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad They closed with a trio of tunes that opened with the beautifully meditative Grace, before cranking up yet more intense drive – jazz piano trio as rock band.

How to Match Your Walling Style with Flooring and Furniture
When it comes to creating a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing space, the connection between your wall, flooring and furniture plays a very important role. These three elements form the foundational layers of your design and when they connect with each other, they bring balance, comfort and beauty. They have the power to turn a mere house into a personalized, welcoming home. Walls commonly capture a person's attention right away. They act as the backdrop for everything else in a room. Believe it or not, your walls subconsciously influence the overall vibe of the room, so think carefully about the aura you want to create. Whites, greys and beiges are some of the super versatile and easy to go options. You can't go wrong with these shades. They are classic and never out of style. They also give you plenty of room to play with different flooring and furniture, since they don't demand attention. On top of that, they make spaces look and feel larger and airier. Beyond just painting, you can explore options like wallpaper with subtle patterns, fabric wall coverings or even exposed brick or wooden panelling. These add character to the walls. However, there is something that looks extremely elegant and can beautifully blend with your flooring and furnishings. We are talking about natural stone. For a really unique feeling, exploring the best Stone Wall Claddings can bring mesmerising texture and warmth to your space. Imagine the subtle veins of Marble or the sophisticated beauty of Limestone catching every eye in your living room. Flooring and walling don't have to look matching, but they should not outshine each other too. Instead of competing, your walls and floors should complement each other. If your walls has lots of texture, keep your floors simpler. Your furniture makes your home's personality shine. So, make sure you establish a perfect balance between your walls and furniture. For example, if you have earthy stone walls, go for warm, shaded furnishings. Bring in rattan, washed wood and soft blue cushions to complement your coastal-themed walls. For modern walling, furniture with neutral shades with a little pop of black or gold looks great. Before you buy anything, define the overall feeling you want to create. Do you want something serene or minimalist? A vibrant, eclectic space? A cosy, traditional room? This vision will guide all your choices, making the process much smoother. Often, one element will be the dominant feature and the others will play supporting roles. Bold Walls If you have gone for a strong walling style, you should opt for more subtle flooring and furniture to avoid overwhelming the space. A light, neutral-shaded floor and furniture in complementary shades would work really well here. Statement Flooring If your floor is a centre of attraction, keep your walls and furniture relatively simple. Eye-Catching Furniture If you have a striking sofa or a unique antique cabinet, choose a more neutral backdrop or feature wall for your walls and floors to allow the furniture to stand out. Light Walls + Light Floor This creates an airy, brighter feeling. This can be dramatic and bold, but you will need to consider it carefully to avoid feeling too heavy. A classic combination that offers good contrast and defines the room. You will find that light floors stand out and dark walls recede, which in turn makes the room feel more spacious. Mix different design elements, but don't rigidly match everything. Instead of perfectly matching textures, aim for a pleasing variety. If you're walling or flooring has a strong pattern, go for solid-coloured furniture or subtle patterns that don't clash. And, if your walls and floors are plain, patterned furniture can add striking beauty. For instance, if you are going for Stacked Stone Walling for Interiors and Exteriors, make sure you create a feature wall only with the stones and keep the rest of the walls simple. Always analyse how rooms flow into each other. While each room can have its own personality, maintaining a cohesive thread creates a sense of unity in your home. When you are thinking about integrating different natural elements, remember that even the best often have subtle variations in colour and texture that can be echoed in your flooring or furniture choices to create a seamless link. By thoughtfully considering your walling style, flooring choices and furniture selection as interconnected parts of a larger design, you can create a home that is not only beautiful but also really reflects your unique taste and provides a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere.
