Archaeologists working at Pompeii say they have found the remains of a man who survived the initial explosion of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79 — but was crushed by a massive rock as he attempted to flee a deadly cloud of gases, ash and rock.
Archaeologists also managed, for the first time, to make a cast of the complete body of a horse that was killed in the eruption. The horses’ body was surrounded by volcanic ash.
hello! i am working on a 5m large and 12 m long house at the moment, and i find it difficult to make a plan that works for it ithout having long corridors or this sort of things... i was wondering if you had example of houses with the same type of configuration? :) thank you! (and thank you for your blog, it has given me many inspiration over the years!)
Look at row house precedents. The trick is to locate the main spaces on the front and back leaving the center portion to serve as circulation and spaces that do not require natural light.
more vampires who don’t remember more vampires saying ‘i don’t fucking know man, google it’ more vampires not remembering important historical figures more vampires not recalling centuries worth of history more vampires saying ‘ that was at least 300 years ago, how the FUCK could i remember that detail?’ more vampires whose brains work like human brains
More vampires who 300 years later can’t remember what was the truth and what was the lie they told to get out of trouble.
More vampires who are like, “I don’t know, man, I spent most of that decade in an opium den.”
More vampires who weren’t paying attention because they didn’t think it would be important.
More vampires who don’t know because there was lot of conflicting gossip and they don’t want to point any fingers.
More vampires who are just bad at dates. “Back in 1620, or was it 1645, wait, what year is it now?”
More vampires who were on a totally different continent when it happened, so get off their back and stop asking them questions already.
YES to all of this but also consider: vampires who only remember the most trivial stuff.
“Oh yeah, the only thing I remember about the American Revolution was this nice candlemaker I met sometime, and she was wearing this really cute red shawl…”
“Uhhh I don’t remember much about the fall of Rome but there was this one fucking cobblestone right outside the coliseum…”
Also consider: vampires who realize three or four hundred years after the fact that they knew someone famous.

“Stacy. Hey, hey Stacy.”
“Wh- Eric, what now?”
“I just realized that I missed the entire Islamic golden age.”
“Wh- what?”
“I missed it, Stacy. The whole thing. I was lost in a forest the whole time. I was so lost.”
“Eric, I’m trying to sleep.”
“Stacy they… listen here, Stacy. I missed the invention of the number zero. Stacy, Stacy I’m freaking out.”
Domestic violence is estimated to affect 10 million people each year. Head and neck injuries are some of the most common issues, and Phoenix-based neurologist Glynnis Zieman is uncovering how frequently traumatic brain injury is a part of the picture.
“About 81 percent of our patients had so many hits to the head, they lost count, which, you compare that to athletes, is astronomical,” Zieman says.
Zieman has paired up with Ashley Bridwell, a social worker, to try to get women the specific medical help and counseling that they need after domestic abuse.
We need to redefine recovery from “becoming neurotypical” to “learning to live a good life with a mental illness” cause in many cases the chase for the first gets in the way of the second.
Recovery doesn’t always mean “doesn’t have a mental illness anymore” - it can also mean:
Learning to cope with your symptoms in a healthy and constructive way.
Getting the accommodations and support that allows you to live with the impairments of your mental illness.
Learning to live a happy, fulfilling life despite your symptoms.
Knowing your limits and triggers and adjusting your life accordingly.
Learning to take care of your physical, mental and emotional health.
Learning to live with symptoms without having them control your life.
Finding and sticking to treatments that work for you.
Accepting and learning that even though you may not be able to live a “normal” life, you can still have a good life.
Many of us can’t expect the full recovery that we are told to strive towards, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t get better or that we shouldn’t work towards getting better, and it’s important that the language around mental illness and recovery reflects that.
