See the face of a Roman slave crucified in ancient Britain 1,700 years ago

Archaeologists in 2017 unearthed a significant historical find in Cambridgeshire, England – the remains of a Roman slave who met a brutal end through crucifixion during the third or fourth century CE.





This extraordinary discovery has led to a comprehensive digital facial approximation. The man, believed to be between 25 and 35 years old at the time of his death, was found buried in a cemetery alongside more than 40 others who displayed signs of rigorous manual labor. The skeleton is described as “battered” and unique due to the preservation of a nail in his heel.

This is the kind of TV

Image
This is the kind of TV we had when I was a kid back in the 70s. And back then most homes only had one. So whether it was the Price is Right,  Saturday morning cartoons or the Sunday night movie we all watched the same thing. During  Comercials we would rush to go to the bathroom or get a snack from the kitchen. Nowadays most people have a tv in every room of the house and families just don't get together as they use to. These old sets might well be old and outdated but they did something that modern TVs don't they brought us all together in one room. It was a shared experience that modern families don't enjoy and it's sad because as an older person I know what their missing.

Why Do Women Send Nudes? Why Do Men? It's Complicated, A New Study Finds.

Why Do Women Send Nudes? Why Do Men? It's Complicated, A New Study Finds. Sexting is a universal language: Jeff Bezos does it (albeit awkwardly; remember that “I love you, alive girl” text?), Rihanna does it, teens do it (though it’s a smaller percentage than you’d think, given the worried headlines).  The question of why we send dirty images and texts doesn’t have an easy answer: Can it all be chalked up to sheer horniness, or is there some deeper ulterior motive that drives us to tap “send” on that nude?   In a new study, University of Arizona researcher Morgan Johnstonbaugh asked that very question: What motivates young people to send an explicit text in the first place ― and does the motivation differ for men and women?  To conduct the study, Johnstonbaugh, a sociology doctoral student, had more than 1,000 college students from seven universities fill out an online survey asking them about their rationale for sexting. She looked at two primary motivators: outside...

The End of the Old World? Understanding the power relations that transoceanic settlements and trade opened up.

The End of the Old World? Understanding the power relations that transoceanic settlements and trade opened up. Jonathan Scott is one of the leading historians of 17th-century England. Here he continues the admirable expansion of his horizons to include oceans and the power relations that transoceanic settlements and trade opened up. But the book’s main aim is to use this international dimension to frame an argument about ‘how the old world ended’.  His model depends on the viability of familiar ideas: that there was a single ‘old world’, and that its undoubted evolution was rapid enough to be historically analysed as an ‘end’. Yet Scott explores neither problem. With no doubts about the categories, he can advance his case in an extreme form: ‘Fewer than three hundred years ago there occurred the most fundamental reordering of human existence since the beginning of agriculture’; there was ‘an exponential Industrial Revolution in Britain from about 1780’. The Industrial Revolution ‘c...

A group of friends from Manjummel visits Kodaikanal and then Guna cave

A group of friends from Manjummel visits Kodaikanal and then Guna cave. One of them, Subhash falls into a zigzag like pothole. How the friends, police and fire force  collectively did the impossible task?.  In the first 20-30 minutes, Chidambaram introduces us to the gang- Their fight, tug of war and daily jobs. Though it may feel bit insipid, trip begins and soon the pivotal incident occurs.  The best part about the gang is that they never lost hope even after knowing about the history of the place. In a scene before rescue mission, Deepak Parambol's character replies to Soubin's character Kuttan, "Nee erangilengil njan eragum". Chidambaram managed to brilliantly portray the selflessness, resilience and optimistic attitide of the gang. He never tried to limit the scope to rescue mission alone. Focus of the narration shifts to the aftermath of the traumatic incident as well.  Whole technical team deserve huge round of applause for their hardwork. Sushin Syam's sca...
