After a year and a half at work, the Vatican has just finished restoration of a jewel-encrusted golden cross said to be the oldest reliquary of its kind, according to USA TODAY . The foot-tall, jewel-encrusted, golden cross, known as the Crux Vaticana , was given to the people of Rome by the Byzantine emperor Justin II in the 6th-century and bears the inscription “With the wood with which Christ conquered man’s enemy, Justin gives his help to Rome and his wife offers the ornamentation.” The reliquary is said to contain pieces of the cross on which Jesus was crucified, hence its longstanding reverence by the Catholic church

NEW DELHI: Wrongly blocking passengers with confirmed tickets who reach on time from boarding will now cost airlines dear, as per new rules to be imposed shortly by the Directorate-General of Civil Aviation. With overbooking becoming rampant to make up for last-minute no shows, the government has finalized cash penalties to clamp down on this practice.

Although the Roman scholar and official, Suetonius ,described Nero as “average height, his body marked with spots and malodorous, his hair light blond, his features regular rather than attractive, his eyes blue and somewhat weak, his neck over thick, his belly prominent, and his legs very slender” in his The Life of Nero , he more than acknowledged Nero’s penchant for luxury. In late September, one of Nero’s most lavish rooms was discovered during routine maintenance in the Domus Aurea, or Nero’s Golden Palace, in Rome : a revolving banquet hall . According to Suetonius’ account, “There were dining-rooms with fretted ceils of ivory, whose panels could turn and shower down flowers and were fitted with pipes for sprinkling guests with perfumes

Introducing the Italian Gift Incentive Program
Throughout Travel BlogCamp in 2008 I was quite relaxed knowing that it was the first event and if it didn’t go down well I could at least say that it was worth trying. This year, I felt added pressure because it had a lot to live up to, so imagine my relief when the night went by without any hiccups. Lost networking opportunities I would have liked to have chatted to more people, but, running around like a headless chicken meant I got very little time for networking which from my perspective is a shame.
