On a recent morning, Daniel Jackson could be found kneeling on the floor of a small classroom, surrounded by words. Words written on the blackboard. Words typed in children's books. Words printed on paper.
Small words, big words. Sentences, stories, even recipes.
It seems each phrase the 7-year-old boy has learned has opened a door.
The words on the blackboard have taught Daniel how to pronounce the long words he once stumbled over. The words in the books have given him a great idea for a summer job -- a lemonade stand. And words printed by his small hand have helped Daniel realize the power of his imagination.
"I've learned a lot of stuff this summer," said Daniel, one of 66 children enrolled in a reading clinic run by Western Maryland College at Friendship Valley Elementary School.

When Commissario Guido Brunetti is visited by a young bureaucrat investigating the lack of official approval for the building of his apartment years earlier, his first reaction, like any other Venetian, is to think of whom he knows who might bring pressure to bear on the relevant government department. But when the bureaucrat rings Brunetti at work, clearly scared, and is then found dead after a fall from scaffolding, something is obviously going on that has implications greater than the fate of Brunetti's apartment ...

Pole packs and carry bagsWe can help you to work within your budget to provide poles for your project.
We have carefully considered all the Health and Safety considerations and do recommend different poles according to the fitness level, health issues and aim of each walker. Participants with joint, mobility or balance problems will need to place a considerable amount of body weight on the poles and it is important that they are suitable quality and strength. Other considerations are wher the pole is planted and the type of grip recommended for certain medical conditions - our team can help advise on all these issues.
We have a range of pole packs available according to the estimated number of participants – the packs come in convenient carry bags for ease of use and so they can be transported to a variety of locations. We aim to ensure these are as cost effective as possible.
We also recommend that participants purchase their own poles once they have become competent Nordic Walkers – this ensures they have the correct size and can walk outside of the group sessions as they progress. It also allows you to continue to attract new participants with your pack of poles. We can help you incentivise participants to buy poles with our discounted range for delivery partner projects and if income generation is key we can provide a commission scheme.

Oddly, there was a Land Rover in the series (used as a farm vehicle!). The Farmer Classic line was added in 2002, and focused on old-timer tractors. Subsequently, Farmer + and Farmer Classic + introduced more detailed and refined farm models. Classic + models featured tractors with rustic looking 'aged' paint.In 2004, a radio-controlled tractor was introduced in the all new radio controlled 'SIKU Control' line, which added play value in addition to the regular SIKU Farmer Series vehicles. These have working acceleration, steering, headlights and turn indicators. Other models have since been added to the Control line.More

It would seem that Texas has already seen its fair share of fatal car accidents this year. Unfortunately, being involved in a car accident is a reality for a lot of people, and these accidents often result in serious injury or fatality to those involved. A recent accident in Spicewood had tragic results for the victims involved and has police still trying to determine exactly what happened.
Fatal accident in Texas claims the lives of a father and his sons
The loss of a loved one, regardless of how or when it happens, is never easy. However, when the loss is the sudden and unexpected result of a fatal accident, surviving family members may have a harder time trying to cope. Recently, a family in Texas has had their whole world turned upside down due to possible negligence of another driver.
A motorcycle accident in Texas results in fatalities
Choosing a motorcycle as a mode of transportation can mean less protection for the driver and any passengers in the event of an accident. Since a motorcycle doesn't often the same protection as an enclosed vehicle, this often means that those involved in a motorcycle accident could have a greater chance of suffering serious injury or death. A recent accident in Texas resulted in the death of two people when a car allegedly pulled out in front of their motorcycle.
Driver surrenders in Texas fatal accident involving pedestrian
An accident involving a vehicle and a pedestrian often results in catastrophic injury or death due to the vulnerability of the pedestrian. Recently, a vehicle struck a woman as she was crossing a Texas street. The injuries she suffered were such that she succumbed to them before treatment could be provided by emergency responders. Unfortunately, the driver of the vehicle involved in this fatal accident fled the scene without stopping to render aid.

Its been a while! Sorry, I was busy in the thrice-nine lands. What are the thrice-nine lands? Just look it up yourself. We have bigger fish to fry and rubber to burn to make up for lost time…
If Slavic folklore has a celebrity it would be Baba Yaga. The eccentric and terrifying witch appears with great variation across many stories, but her name instantly conjures up images of an old, huge, ugly hag with a a skeletal leg, a long nose, a small hut resting on chicken legs, and a mortal and pestle used for flying across the air. Generally Baba Yaga is a cannibal. Occasionally she has children. Even when she doesn't have kids she has a profound and psychopathic maternal instinct: she'll be more than happy to show hospitality. Sometimes she appears as a group of 3 sisters. Regardless of how she appears, Baba Yaga is the definitive witch of Slavic lore and probably the most well known witch in the world.
This post is just as much an introduction to Baba Yaga as it is a book review of Andreas Johns' Baba Yaga: The Ambiguous Mother and Witch of the Russian Folktale. Johns' book is probably the most definitive and thorough analysis of Baba Yaga that ever was and ever will be, and it greatly expands upon the work of Soviet folklorist Vladimir Propp on the subject. You may recall that Propp sought to break down folktales into their constituent parts. He identified certain recurring character types and 31 potential functions, which are essentially just plot developments a story may or may not feature.
The essence of Johns' book, and the essence of the Baba Yaga character, is a profound ambiguity. It is tempting to simply label the Baba Yaga character as a stock villain; this would be half right. While there are stories where Baba Yaga is just a villain, there are also plenty of stories where she helps the protagonist in a "donor" role. According to Propp's analysis of folklore, a donor is any character who provides assistance to a hero. Johns' book is actually organized according to Yaga's appearances as villain or donor. It is remarkable that a character who kidnaps children and attempts to eat protagonists in one story may be a Yoda-like figure in another, but keep reading because the plot thickens…
While there are some stories where she is a clear-cut villain or donor, there are others where the roles start to blend. The main contribution of Johns to the study of Baba Yaga is his analysis of her as villain AND donor simultaneously. How can a character at once be an antagonist and a helpful figure who assists in resolving the plot? Johns comes to define Baba Yaga as an "unwilling" or "hostile donor." In these stories she helps the hero against her own volition. Oftentimes what she unwillingly donates is advice or hospitality. A hero might travel to her house on chicken legs while questing. Baba Yaga will attempt to eat him or otherwise inconvenience him. Generally the hero will find a way to outsmart and/or kill her to steal what he needs. Other times he might just interrupt Baba Yaga's threats, telling her to make him a bed and some grub. Baba Yaga will end up serving the hero a meal and at some point provide some critical advice or help the hero needs.
I can't do justice to the Baba Yaga figure here, nor can I do justice to Johns' book, but I can perhaps explain some of the ramifications of how she is portrayed. You may recall from an earlier post that Russian demons generally greatly vary; some will skin you before you can say bathhouse while others will help keep your chickens in order. Usually Russian demons are fickle, like Baba Yaga they are morally ambiguous. Baba Yaga is one of the most complex characters in Slavic lore and shows the widest variation in type and role. She is the poster child for the ambiguity that permeates Slavic lore and makes it so fascinating to study. Russian lore has its fair share of heroes, but there are almost no dyed-in-the-wool villains (with Koschei the Deathless being a rare exception).
Between her wide range of roles and her distinct, but variable, appearance Baba Yaga neatly represents the sum of Slavic lore. Its unusual, different, and difficult to analyze. These features make it all the more memorable; Slavic lore has a unique flavour and texture that mark an excellent change in pace from the more standard Western European tales most of us are accustomed to.
Western folktales tend to be more apparently didactic. While they were generally spooky and weird, many of them have been watered down to make them more child friendly (this isn't just a modern thing, it has been happening for centuries). Slavic lore preserves its old character, with surrealism and horror elements standing the test of time. I think this says a great deal of Slavic lore. It wasn't meant just to be education but rather was a key component of storytelling and life in general. It explores more complex and uncertain themes, made evident by the ambiguous and deep characters and situations. I think this reflects the Slavic/Russian worldview. It doesn't ask as many questions and reveals an acceptance of the difficulties of family life and life in general.
Looking at family life is especially pertinent to Baba Yaga since she is a very motherly figure. Johns suggests that a possible interpretation of Baba Yaga is as a corrupt mother or as a representation of the complex female relationships that existed in Russian villages. The saying it takes a village to raise a child was especially true in Russia, where children were often raised not only by mothers but by extended family, neighbors, and others. Children would have many surrogate mothers who would undoubtedly pull them in different directions. It wouldn't be hard to imagine some mothers being cruel and abusive while others were more forgiving and generous. Baba Yaga's ambiguity may be the result of the amalgamation of all of these various maternal influences. Good mothers and bad mothers would blur together in the dreamy landscape of childhood memory. It doesn't seem hard to argue that generations raised in such self-contradictory systems would naturally develop a culture that cynically takes life in stride. The ramifications this could have in sphere beyond culture, spheres such as politics, may be huge. Of course I'm rapidly stepping into ground that is evaporating beneath my feet, so perhaps I should just shut my mouth and conclude this.
One last thing before I go though: we should note the presentation of Baba Yaga in other media. Its only natural that Baba Yaga should make some appearances in or inspire other stories, but it is remarkable that these stories manage to capture her ambiguous nature. Baba Yaga appears in the Hellboy comics as a frequent antagonist. There are times when she works with the hero, but Mike Mignola seems to prefer presenting her as a behind-the-scenes villain. Even this portrayal though is still open to flexible interpretation however; Mignola has Baba Yaga act as a grandmotherly figure to Rasputin who grants him power and aid in a traditional donor fashion. Another homage to Baba Yaga can be found in Miyazaki's masterpiece, Spirited Away. This movie features two witch sisters, Yu Baba and Zeniba, who seem to reflect the Baba Yaga mythos (remember occasionally Baba Yaga appears as several sisters). Yu Baba, the witch owner of a massive spirit bathhouse, reflects the evil side of the Baba Yaga character. Rather than threaten the protagonist with murder however Yu Baba is used to represent the exploitative nature of capitalism. Zeniba, by contrast, is a good witch who aids the protagonist and gives her the means to overcome Yu Baba. But the ambiguity of Baba Yaga is not so clearly divided between the two sisters, Yu Baba despite all of her negative traits still have some redeeming qualities, such as when she attempts to feverishly defend her bathhouse from a rogue spirit.
I lied…One more thing to cover.
Click here to go to the amazon page for Andreas Johns' Baba Yaga: The Ambiguous Mother and Witch of the Russian Folktale. I highly recommend buying it, although I would advise you to brush up on your Slavic lore first and read some Baba Yaga tales going into it. A little bit of grounding it will definitely enrich the text. This is one time where I can honestly say though that the book is literally the end-all, best material on the topic at hand.

"The practice of yoga has taught me how to approach life with open eyes and a fearless attitude. It has really helped me to stay present and find joy in every single moment of my life.I like to explore each Asana and it's influence on people's mental state, and how to use breath and balance to change people's mood and attitude towards every day life. Yoga is a phenomenal tool to inspire and help people"

MEGAN THOMPSON: Police officer Christopher Ross patrols a precinct on the south side of Memphis …an area with a very high rate of crime. Ross sees a lot of violence, drug use and prostitution. But those aren't the only types of calls that Ross responds to.
CHRISTOPHER ROSS: The mom's involved with her son and he's diagnosed with adhd, and mood disorder, and she said she's been taking his meds, but he's being unruly, so we are going to go see what we can do to help.
MEGAN THOMPSON: Ross is part of the Memphis police department's "Crisis Intervention Team" or CIT.
CHRISTOPHER ROSS: What's going on?
MEGAN THOMPSON: Officers specially trained to handle people with mental illness. Here, Ross finds a teenage boy in crisis. His mom says he's being bullied at school.
CHRISTOPHER ROSS: So everybody at the school knows that you are smart, that you've got something going for yourself, and what they are trying to do is stop you from being all that you can be.
MEGAN THOMPSON: Ross is trained to de-escalate situations using mostly verbal techniques…to keep both officers and citizens safe… and keep people with mental health issues out of jail.
CHRISTOPHER ROSS: As a matter of fact i'm going to give you my number so when you have a problem call me. Okay? If you're feeling sad, if you're feeling depressed, call me. And you can tell me whatever you want to tell me. I don't care what it is. Handshake on that.
MEGAN THOMPSON: After 20 minutes, the teen is calm and agrees to go back inside. Memphis started its CIT program 27 years ago, after the police shot and killed a man with mental illness who charged at them with a knife.
MEGAN THOMPSON: The City formed a task force including the police and the national alliance on mental illness. At the time, university of Memphis psychiatry professor randy dupont was directing the City's main psychiatric emergency service. He helped develop the CIT program.
RANDOLPH DUPONT: In an event that's going to escalate and become a crisis, it's going to be those first few minutes that are pretty critical. So, what they thought about, when they came up with this concept, was why don't we take some of that expertise, let's identify those officers that want to do this — that could be good at it. Give them the best training we can find, and then let's look and see what kind of differences that makes.
MEGAN THOMPSON: That training starts with changing officers attitudes and perceptions. Dupont says, people in crisis often act out of fear and may not understand what's happening around them. An untrained officer could interpret such behavior as defiance, or "non-compliance."
RANDOLPH DUPONT: Officers are often trained in the academy to see non-compliance and re- and respond with greater use of force. That's part of their training. But in CIT, what we're trying to say to the officers is, "let's analyze the non-compliance. Let's look strategically at it." So, we're looking for that different interpretation of behavior.
VINCENT BEASLEY: First of all, we have a talk about having compassion.
MEGAN THOMPSON: Major Vincent Beasley is in charge of the Memphis CIT program. He patrolled the streets as a CIT officer for 8 years.
MEGAN THOMPSON: Are all officers cut out to do this kind of work?
VINCENT BEASLEY: I don't think so. I really think it takes a special person to do that. Not everybody's cut out for that. Because you have to have patience. And you- and you have to really care about people. And you have to understand that it's not the individual himself. It's something that's going on. It's something, you know, in his brain that's not working properly. It's a chemical imbalance.
MEGAN THOMPSON: CIT is having a measurable impact. Major Beasley says of the 14,000 911 calls last year that CIT officers responded to, only 19 encounters resulted in injuries to a person with mental illness. And the vast majority ended without a person being detained. Around 4 thousand were taken to mental treatment facilities. And only about 600 were taken to jail.
VINCENT BEASLEY: So, we're not taking nearly as many people to penal facilities that are- that are suffering from mental illnesses. Because we realize they don't need to be there in most cases.
MEGAN THOMPSON: Those with mental illness who do get arrested wind up here, at the Shelby County jail, where there is special wing – with 46 cells for people with mental illness. Hundreds more inmates on psychiatric medication are housed in the jail's general population, where many are also offered psychiatric treatment and group therapy for things like addiction and anger management.
RANDOLPH DUPONT: What else would you all do when he throws up this, 'how are you going to help me?'
MEGAN THOMPSON: Joining the police department's Crisis Intervention Team is voluntary, and officers and dispatchers must attend 40 hours of training. There are three days of intensive role-playing…based on real situations officers have faced in the field.
OFFICER 1: I see that you're very upset. And I want to help you.
OFFICER 2: Nobody cares about me. And with me out of a job, man, there's nothing for me to be here for.
OFFICER 3:I want to say to say from the standpoint, like you said, dealing with being handled by CIT.
MEGAN THOMPSON: The trainees – dressed here in plain clothes – also spend a day meeting people with mental illness … to learn about what it's like to live with their conditions … and about their experiences with the police.
PERSON 1: The sheriff's department came to my house and kicked the door in.
PERSON 2: He told me to shut my frickin' mouth.
CHRISTOPHER ROSS: Could you have a paramedic make the scene over here?
MEGAN THOMPSON: today There are 274 active CIT officers like Chris Ross, on the Memphis force of almost 2100, or about one of every eight officers. The CIT program is operated within the department's existing budgets. Officers wear these pins to identify themselves. Ross, who's been CIT for three years, never answers a call without back-up.
MEGAN THOMPSON: When he is flagged down by a man who says he's a vietnam veteran and has bipolar disorder, Ross pulls over to talk. He uses simple strategies: introducing himself and being calm.
CHRISTOPHER ROSS: I'm fficer Ross. But call me Chris, ok?
MEGAN THOMPSON: Ross says a huge part of his job is simply listening and keeping tabs on people he knows might need help. Here he checks up on a man he's gotten to know.
CHRISTOPHER ROSS: Third Eye, you in there?
MEGAN THOMPSON: He lives in an abandoned motel.
CHRISTOPHER ROSS: Are you asleep? Come out here and talk to me. I just want to make sure you're doing alright. Make sure everything is going good.
MAN: I got all-seeing eyes. I'm a power ranger and a super hero. You're really on my side.
CHRISTOPHER ROSS: I'm on your side.
CHRISTOPHER ROSS: You always try to get them comfortable and let them know I'm here to help. And whatever they say, you listen to it. You repeat it to them so they'll know that you're listening to them. And eventually, you'll establish that relationship, and they'll feel more or less like you're there to help them, versus trying to lock them up.
MEGAN THOMPSON: If Memphis police determine people might pose a danger to themselves or others, an officer can take them to the crisis assessment center for evaluation and medication. Many of the services here are free. It's inside the Memphis Mental Health Institute, so if they need long-term, in-patient care, patients don't have to go far. After they leave, there's also a new out-patient program for continuing psychiatric care. Officials say it's reduced the number of repeat visits to both the crisis center and the institute.
MEGAN THOMPSON: Mark Havener has been a patient at the Memphis mental health institute. He has bipolar disorder and began having psychotic episodes 17 years ago…locking himself in a closet for hours at a time and attempting to kill himself.
MEGAN THOMPSON: Do you have any idea how many times you've tried to end your life?
MARK HAVENER: Lost count at about 25.
MEGAN THOMPSON: Twenty-five?
MARK HAVENER: And I lost count of my hospitalizations at about…I got tired of counting at 25.
MEGAN THOMPSON: During one psychotic episode in 2002, Havener started to strangle his wife.
MARK HAVENER: I grabbed her by the throat. And I got up and I shoved her up against the inside of the front door of the house.
MEGAN THOMPSON: After he let her go, she called 9-1-1 and CIT officers responded.
MARK HAVENER: By this time, I'm pretty much non-verbal. I can't express what's going on, because it's a hurricane inside of me. Maelstrom. They don't even handcuff me because they- they see what kind of condition i'm in. Treating me as a human being in crisis and not a potential perpetrator.
MEGAN THOMPSON: Havener was hospitalized and never faced criminal charges. He got treatment and today, he is stable, has reconciled with his wife, and works as a counselor to others with mental illness. He's also become an advocate, sharing his story with the new CIT trainees.
MEGAN THOMPSON: the strategies developed in Memphis are now called the "Memphis model" – and have now been adopted by almost 3000 of the nation's 18,000 law enforcement agencies. Studies have shown that CIT-trained officers are less likely to arrest people with mental illness than non-trained officers. And for Chris Ross, that's one of the things he likes most about this job. The potential to help people … rather than put them in jail.
CHRISTOPHER ROSS: And that's something that I can remember that will keep me going to when sometimes things get rough on the streets. That's why I work, that's why do it. Because if we get to the point where we're making a difference, we won't have to lock so many people up.

Folk-inspired, multi-award winning singer-songwriter Seth Lakeman tours with his hugely talented band plus special guest Lisbee Stainton on dates around the UK in October. Seth has released six albums including 2005's Mercury-nominated Kitty Jay through to his latest album, Tales from the Barrel House, which confirms Seth's innate knack for writing both foot-stomping, sing-along songs and more tender, thoughtful ballads. His fiddle and tenor guitar playing is often breathtaking and Seth's trademark, soaring vocals are at the forefront of the album, as beguiling and haunting as ever. Seth and the band will be playing tracks from all his previous studio albums plus a few brand new songs on the Autumn tour.

Winter Mountain
Winter Mountain have a truly extraordinary backstory straight out of a movie screenplay for which their songs would make the perfect soundtrack. Their vocals blend as if they've been harmonising for a lifetime. And although Martin's from Donegal, Ireland and Joseph's from West Cornwall, you get the impression they were born to sing together.
There have been the obvious comparisons to Simon & Garfunkel, The Fleet Foxes and The Everly Brothers and when you hear and see them perform you'll understand why. Their new EP "FIND, FOLLOW" was released in May 2013 on Charcoal Records, the label owned by Irish folk luminary Cara Dillon, and features three tracks mixed by the acclaimed, and highly in demand, Mike Crossey (Ben Howard, The Arctic Monkeys, Jake Bugg).

Do you remember the tree house you used as a fort/castle growing up? Sure, it was cool when you were 8 years old, but you"re probably not clamoring to spend the night there anymore. There"s no A/C, no bathroom, and no Internet. How can anyone expect to live in those conditions? If only a similar place existed to combine the best of both worlds…
Welcome to Atlanta"s tree house of wonder!
In 2000, Atlanta-based environmental activist Peter Bahouth built a fantastic fairy tale tree house in the forest surrounding the city.
Found in northwest Atlanta, the tree house consists of a trio of structures connected by footbridges.
The bridges connect structures with different functions a bedroom that sleeps two, a living room, and a deck.
The best part? Anyone can stay here for the night.
(via Laughing Squid)
The tree house is listed on AirBnb for $350 a night. Sure, it"s certainly pricier than staying at an area Hilton Hotel. Regardless, you"re sure to get your money"s worth by staying in the grown-up version of your childhood hangout.

Sonoran Desert Natural History
The Sonoran Desert covers the lower half of Arizona, the extreme southeastern portion of California, and parts of the Baja Peninsula and Mexico. It's a 55-million-acre world of rugged mountain ranges, ancient lava flows, rivers, underground springs, sprawling sand dunes and yes, cities. The Sonoran is the hottest desert in the United States (although not in the world) and is the most tropical. On a worldwide scale, we are the most temperate desert on the globe generally remaining between 32 and 118 degrees Fahrenheit, making this a great area for many plants and animals.
© The Nature Conservancy
Adding to our attractiveness for plants and animals, we usually get between 7 and 12 inches of rain per year. This rain is provided through a bi-seasonal system. From December to March, frontal storms from North Pacific Ocean occasionally bring widespread, gentle rain to the northwestern areas. From July to mid-September, the summer monsoon brings surges of wet tropical air and frequent but localized violent thunderstorms.
These rainy seasons and our temperate climate added to the extreme elevation changes ranging across the state make Arizona and the Sonoran Desert a very diverse area with hundreds of plant and animal species. The Sonoran Desert alone has over 500 edible plants out of its nearly 3500 plant species. Arizona harbors greater plant and animal species diversity than any other non-coastal state in the country – third only to California and Texas and has the eighth highest number of endemic (unique to the area) species, with 135 species found nowhere else in the world.
Temperature and Climate:
Rivers in the Desert
Rivers play a very important role in the complex environment of North America's Sonoran Desert. Water is scarce in the desert and plants and animals have adapted to the harsh conditions that come with high summer temperatures and low average rainfall. Along the river corridors are delicate and unique ecosystems known as riparian zones. In these areas, lush trees such as desert willow and cottonwood take the place of the hardy saguaro cactus. The soft greenery and plentiful water attract many the animals who make their homes here including beavers, otters, loons, eagles, turkey vultures and on Arizona's lower Salt River, even wild horses.
The Salt River flows from its headwaters in the White Mountains of Eastern Arizona and rushes along through the high elevations until it winds its way to the lower arid desert outside of Phoenix. Here the riparian ecosystem created by the mellow flow of the Salt is an indispensable oasis, home to many plant and animal species, and a perennial slash of green across the dry brown of the surrounding landscape.
Over four million people who live in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area depend on the Salt River for energy generated by a series of hydroelectric dams managed by the Salt River Project. The reservoirs created by those dams are in turn a source of life for the creatures that live in the surrounding environment, mule deer, wildcats, desert cottontail rabbits, and many others. The flow of water past the dams varies depending on the season and recent precipitation within the Salt River watershed. On AOA's guided river tours our expert guides will share their stories of the river and educate you about the delicate ecosystems that occur within riparian zones in the desert. Keep alert when floating along, rafting and kayaking on the Lower Salt River are wonderful ways to see the Sonoran desert from a new perspective.
Reservation Policies
Advance reservations are required and can only be confirmed with receipt of guest contact information and a valid credit card. Final payment is due in advance of the tour. Guide gratuities are optional, but are appreciated.

The great Arena of Verona
Meet the greatest Opera theatre in the world
Piazza Bra is one of the most popular turistic place in Italy and it was an obliged step during the historical Gran Tour (Lord Byron, Dickens, Mozart, they all stopped here). It is an amazing place, full of great cafès, but the reason of this worldwide fame is that Piazza Bra is the square of the great Arena of Verona.
The Arena was built by the Romans during the 1st century a.C., probably in the period between the two emperors Augusto and Claudio. The Arena has always been a cradle of every kind of show. First the gladiators, then bullfights, chivalric carousels, bingos, even the socalled God's judgements (old legal practice that consists in judging the innocence or the guilt of a person by fighting a duel). The Arena has been also the scene of bloody events: during the 14th century two Christians would have been martyred here, and in the 1278 the Scala lordship would have ordered to set fire to 200 hereticals. For many decades it had been a brothel used as a place of prostitution.
The walls of the Arena have been used as defensive walls several times: it passed floods, earthquakes and plunders. During the years it has always been restored, thanks to Teodorico, Palladio, even Napoleone, who decided to put it back in order after every sort of accident. The last renovation dates back to 50 years ago.
In the 19th century the Arena became a very important musical theatre, during Rossini and Doninzetti's period. But the Arena started to be a real Opera house in the 1913, when Verdi's Aida has been put on scene for the first time. We came to the Arena to watch a modern version of Aida in occasion of the centenary…
The most beautiful show has always been the Arena itself: 2000 years old, but so modern. It is different from the other opera houses, its huge size is a merit just like a sport building, the Arena has got its perfect acoustics and all its changing rooms, warehouses and theatrical structures. The Arena is a great treasure, also and most of all behind the scene!

This cool style could also be called Warrior Princess braids or something similar – so you take your pick as to what you'd like to call this style! Ultimately, however, it's perfect for any age and isn't a hard style so that's a win in my book for sure!
Here's our short video showing how it's done, and step-by-step instructions below. Be sure to keep scrolling to see all the pictures of the finished style! It's awesome! 🙂
Step 1 – Make a rectangular part from the temples back across the crown of the head
Step 2 – Create a French braid with this section of hair
Step 3 – Once you reach the crown stop adding hair and continue a regular 3 strand braid to the end
Step 4 – Gently pull on the very edges of the 3 strand braid to give the edges a loopy appearance
The goal is not to just pancake it and make it flat and wide – you just want the edges to resemble loopy edges of lace or something similar. Make a few stitches of the braid, then pull on the edges as you go – don't do it once you've finished the braid.
Step 5 – Once the braid looks like you want, secure the end with a clear elastic
Step 6 – On the left side of the head, create a horizontal part near the bottom of the temple
Step 7 – With this section of hair create a regular 3 strand braid
As you braid, every few stitches, pull on the bottom (or left) side of the braid to make it loopy in appearance. Again, you don't want to flatten and loosen the braid, you just want the left edge of the braid to be loopy but the rest of the braid to remain tight.
Step 8 – Braid until your braid reaches the center of the back of the head & temporarily secure the end
Step 9 – Repeat Steps 7 & 8 with the hair remaining above the left ear
Step 10 – On the right side of the head create another 2 braids, repeating Steps 6-9
Step 11 – Now you should have a total of 5 braids – 2 braids on each side of the head and the French braid in the middle
Step 12 – Draw the top 2 regular 3 strand braids toward the back center of the head
Step 13 – Join them together with a clear elastic so they are centered on top of the braid you made in Step 3
Step 14 – Take a Topsy Tail and stick the straight end through that center braid just underneath the elastic from the braids above
If you don't have one, you can purchase a Topsy Tail HERE. These are great for so many styles, I highly recommend you have one on hand! 🙂
Step 15 – Place the tail of those 2 braids through the loop of your Topsy Tail and pull them through to the back side of the braid from Step 3
Step 16 – Repeat this process with the 2 final braids above each ear. Join them together with an elastic, and pull the tail through the braid with your Topsy Tail.
Step 17 – Adjust braids as needed so the elastics don't show
Here's a bit more up close look at the braids. You can see that we just pulled the edges to make the braid have "loopy" edges, rather than just flattening the braid to make it wider.
Thanks for check out our hairstyle today! Comment below & let us know what you think! Have a great day! 🙂

Win 7 Home
Win Easy Transfer Not Copying Admin settings from old computer
I've kept my XP SP3 machine around until now. I've got a new Win7 Home Premium 64 machine and started transferring files last night. I was the Admin on the old machine and my wife had her own user account. Easy Transfer only copied her settings and Shared settings. I think I tried telling Easy Transfer to copy the Admin settings but with no success. What other tricks should I try? I'm attempting to use a flash drive, if that tidbit is pertinent.
|My System Specs

I would not import AppData settings as it is a corruption path into a fresh install. In addition, Easy Transfer can fail with data loss.
Instead I would use the backup and preparation methods just the same as for Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7, which also includes the steps, tools and methods which will assure you get and keep a perfect install based on tens of thousands we've helped with here.

Victoria thanks Armed Forces Reservists on Reserves Day
Today I extend my best wishes and thanks to all Reservists who serve in the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force. The dedication and professionalism of our Reservists is exemplary, and we are lucky that so many people choose to commit their time to the Armed Forces alongside their civilian careers.
Recent restructuring of our Armed Forces has meant that Reservists are now an even more important element of the country's defence capabilities. A great many have served with distinction alongside Regular forces, not only in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, but also in efforts to tackle Ebola and in humanitarian missions to address the migrant crisis.
During my career in the Civil Service I worked closely with both Reservists and the Regular personnel of our Armed Forces, and I have seen first-hand the great work that they do. We are fortunate to have 142 (Queen's Own Oxfordshire Hussars) Vehicle Squadron, Royal Logistics Corps, based in Banbury, and I know that the residents of the town are immensely proud of the unit.
I hope that people across North Oxfordshire will join me in thanking Reservists for their service on this national Reserves Day.

Will anyone miss Kelvin Mackenzie? The long-serving Rupert Murdoch ally (below) has had his post as Sun columnist terminated "by mutual consent" following his comparison of Everton's Ross Barkley to a gorilla.
News UK has also sold its shareholding in Mackenzie's A Spokesman Said business and turfed him out of its London Bridge HQ.
Mackenzie says: "I refuse to allow this latest controversy to cast a shadow over the decades of great times I have had with the Sun. There are plenty of opportunities out there and I agree with Winston Churchill, who said: 'Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.'"
The old controversialist does have a way with words. He once fired the Sun's astrologer thus: "As you will already know.."
Murdoch's right hand woman Rebekah Brooks, one of Mackenzie's successors as editor of the Sun and no stranger to controversy either, will be pleased to be rid of the unruly septuagenarian. Murdoch will have his regrets but his Fox company is trying to buy the 61 per cent of Sky it doesn't currently own and doesn't need any more scandals. Fox News in the US is mired in a string of sexual harassment/hush money allegations.
The UK's Ofcom broadcast regulator, trying to assess whether or not the Murdochs (sons James and Lachlan hold key positions in the business) are "fit and proper" to run a big British broadcaster, is known to be unimpressed by this. Murdoch's last effort to buy Sky foundered because of the phone hacking scandal at his now defunct News of the World.
So the Murdochs are in trouble and it's no surprise that loyal retainer Mackenzie has chosen to fall on his sword (before it fell on him).
Would a Tory government have the cojones to stop them buying Sky? If Theresa May wins the General Election it would be a brave man or woman who volunteered to be Culture Secretary, the person who'd have to pass on the bad news. A job for Boris Johnson, currently the UK's risible Foreign Secretary?
As for Mackenzie he'll doubtless be back, to amuse and infuriate in more or less equal measure. Not as court jester to the Murdochs though.
