Nearly 2,000 years ago, the ancient Roman city of Pompeii was buried in an eruption from Mount Vesuvius. When the volcano erupted in the summer of A.D. 79, ash and debris covered the city and preserved it for centuries. Its ruins were first found in the 16th century, and since then, many amazing discoveries have been made at the site. Most recently, archaeologists unearthed a large banquet hall with frescoes of mythical figures associated with the Trojan War painted on its black walls. Per the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, the grand room provided an elaborate setting for entertaining and conversation. Gabriel Zuchtriegel, the director of the archaeological park, explained that the walls were painted black to hide the smoke deposits from oil lamps that were used during entertaining after the sun went down. "People would meet to dine after sunset; the flickering light of the lamps had the effect of making the images appear to move, especially after a few glasses of g...

A fire sign ruled by the luminous sun, Leos are confident, passionate, fun-loving, joyful, positive, bold, and, yep, somewhat theatrical at times. When they love someone, they're loyal, generous cheerleaders who take a ton of pleasure in showering their VIPs with luxe gifts and emotional warmth. Because they're the ruler of the fifth house of romance and self-expression, Leos innately tap into the power of their creative voice and inspire others to do the same. The Lion exudes playfulness and is a major flirt who sees themselves cast as the romantic lead in the cinematic story of their own life.

Of all the astrological signs, Scorpio is perhaps the most misunderstood. Symbolized by the scorpion, it's no surprise that Scorpios are viewed as cold, secretive and vindictive. In reality, however, that couldn't be further from the truth. Scorpio, which runs from Oct. 23 to Nov. 21, is the eighth sign in the zodiac, sitting in between Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) and Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21). Since the eighth house represents sex and death in astrology, the stereotypical Scorpio is dark and brooding. On top of that, Scorpio is ruled by two planets, celebrity astrologer Kyle Thomas tells PEOPLE: Mars, the planet of action, desire and aggression, and Pluto, which is often associated with the underworld. But astrologically speaking, Pluto represents transformation, while the eighth house is associated with intimacy and rebirth. Thus, Scorpios strongly value spiritual growth. As a water sign, they're heavily connected to their emotions and are typically highly...

Bonnie Rosenfeld had 38 people crowded into her home in Rockaway, N.J., on Monday night. She has hosted Passover Seders for years, but none that felt quite like this. She wanted to address "the elephant in the room" up front. So as they lit candles to mark the start of the holiday, they also recited a set of prayers alluding to the war in Gaza — for the remaining Israeli hostages, for peace, for the horrors unfolding, she said, on both sides. It was, in her eyes, a recognition of the obvious: "This night is different," said Ms. Rosenfeld, invoking the Four Questions traditionally recited on the holiday. "This Seder is different." That sentiment echoed around the country this week, as families and groups of friends gathered for the start of Passover amid the complicated swirl of emotions and fiery political debates stirred by the monthslong Israel-Hamas war. The festive holiday, for many, has instead felt solemn. And its familiar rituals, this year, have se...

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – After five years of dating, Mike Branham wanted to take the next step with his girlfriend, Amber. He ordered an engagement ring from Kay Jewelers in December 2020 for more than $6,000, and was told it would be delivered to his home two weeks later, just in time for a Christmas Eve proposal. "The ring never showed up," Mike said.  Torchy's Tacos announces opening of New Albany store And without the ring, Mike told Amber his plans. She then took the matter into her own hands. "I had spent, like it was my daily job, eight hours a day, with Kay's, with UPS," Amber said. "They could not tell us, like, anything. Finally, [Kay's] told us that they were going to go ahead and open up an investigation to locate it. That it had been lost." The couple waited weeks for the company to call with an update. Then one day, without warning, the ring arrived. "But, that ...

I have been married for 14 years and have no plans to update my relationship status. But that doesn't stop me from wondering – why do people still get married? Why did I? For years I have worked as a celebrant, mostly at funerals, but recently I started conducting weddings. I felt like it would be good to have a little more balance in my life and schedule. In the preliminary meeting with couples, I always ask them why they decided to get married. Their answer helps me to write their ceremony and also satisfies my nosiness. People's answers, perhaps unsurprisingly, converge around the theme of commitment. A young bride once replied: "It's about seeing something through." On another occasion, a groom told me: "We share the same values." A middle-aged couple asked me to emphasise respect, loyalty and kindness in their ceremony. They told me the story of their earlier relationships and divorces, the narrative of their lives framing this marriage as an evolut...
