Where I Live: Soaking up the urban life in South Main VillageIn the northern French city of Reims, the construction of a new house has brought an ancient home to the surface. Archaeologists discovered a domus, or luxury urban house , dating to the second century during housing construction along the Rue de la Magdeleine, according to a Dec. 4 news release from the National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research. Once inhabited by the Gallic tribe of the Remi , Reims was conquered by the Romans and grew into an urban center. The city was developed in the classic Roman urban planning style, archaeologists said, in which residential blocks form a grid of perpendicular streets around a city center, designed as a political and religious forum. In many cases, the outside districts are far less studied than the central areas, researchers said. The newly discovered dwelling, with a two-pillar facade facing the street, is two-thirds of a mile away from where the city center once stood. But this wasn’t just any common Roman’s home. This home was occupied by the elite. The inside of the house was buried under a destroyed layer that was likely caused by a fire, archaeologists said. In the mains, pieces of a megalography fresco were found. Megalography means the figures painted on the surface are represented in their real size, researchers said. Two fresco pieces have the painted names Achilles and Deidamia, referencing the mythological scene of Achilles on Skyros, a coveted pre-Trojan War episode, archaeologists said. This is the fourth depiction of this scene found in Roman settings, including ones in Aquileia, Pompeii and Rome, according to the release. What are we learning about the past? Here are three of our most recent eye-catching archaeology stories. → Anglers spot something poking out of seafloor — leading to rare ancient find in Italy → Hiker finds strange item at melting glacier in Switzerland — and it stumps officials → 'Phantom' coins — believed to be destroyed after WWII — found in warehouse in Japan Other items found in the home, however, pointed to the social standing and financial prowess of the home’s owners, researchers said. Three intricate bronze statues were unearthed from the remains. One depicts the god Mars, a second depicts an unidentified goddess and a third statue depicts a bull, according to archaeologists. Researchers described the statues as luxurious and made with a deft touch, supporting the idea that they belonged in an elite member of society’s home. The bronze Mars’ eyes are enhanced by silver, archaeologists said, and Mars is holding a shield with a depiction of the She-Wolf, Romulus and Remus. Mars’ cuirass, or breastplate, was decorated with the head of Medusa, and the statue’s circular base has silver and copper floral decorations, researchers said. The bull sits on a rectangular base and also has a bronze body and silver eyes. The variation of the silver eyes gives the bull an expressive gaze, officials said. The woman clearly represents a goddess, archaeologists said, but her specific identification hasn’t been made. She has a helmet with a relief representing a sphinx, a face and a crown, which may represent a city, researchers said, and spots on her back look like they might have once held wings. She holds the club of Hercules wrapped by a snake and the skin of the Nemean Lion. Officials say the odd aggregation of different representations has a mysterious meaning. The statues’ quality reaffirms their value, though researchers said the location of the home, so far from the city center, does raise questions as to the wealthy homeowner’s status in the community and the function of their home. Reims is in northeastern France, about a 90-mile drive northeast from Paris. Google Translate was used to translate the news release from the National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research.The detached home has been well-maintained over the years and in more recent times has been enhanced to bring the accommodation up to a high standard. The house is presented in good decorative order throughout, and has scope to further extend the living space, subject to the necessary consents. Inside, on the ground floor, there is a large dual-aspect sitting room with a central fireplace and doors that open to the garden. The separate dining room is also a good size and would work equally well as a home office or bedroom. The light-filled kitchen/breakfast room has a classic stylish look with an extensive range of fitted cream-coloured cupboards, quartz worksurfaces, numerous integrated appliances and a door to the garden. On the first floor, a large bright landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms and a smart refitted family shower room with a contemporary style. The principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes and a well-appointed ensuite bathroom. Outside, the enclosed and south-facing rear garden is beautifully landscaped with an area of lawn and well-stocked borders. A paved patio sits adjacent to the house, which is a superb spot to soak up the sun, and there is a lovely summer house nearby. An attractive picket fence separates the main garden from a further paved patio and seating area with a handy storage shed. At the front, the large driveway can accommodate several vehicles and leads to a double garage. The front garden features an extensive area of lawn and a plethora of specimen trees and shrubs.

A&T past North Carolina Central 85-72An illegal alien, wanted in Ecuador for his ties to the rape of a child, was released into the United States by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Adrian Patricio Huerta-Nivelo, a 25-year-old illegal alien from Ecuador, first crossed the border near San Luis, Arizona, and was apprehended by Border Patrol on June 4, 2021. Huerta-Nivelo, like millions of illegal aliens under Biden and Harris, was given a Notice to Appear (NTA) before a federal immigration judge and was released on an order of recognizance that same day. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents learned days after Huerta-Nivelo’s release from DHS custody that he was wanted in connection to the rape of a child in Ecuador. ICE agents arrested Huerta-Nivelo on June 12, 2021, in Boston, Massachusetts. Huerta-Nivelo remained in ICE custody pending deportation proceedings. A federal immigration judge ordered Huerta-Nivelo deported from the U.S. on October 22 of this year. He was deported on December 3 and turned over to Ecuadoran law enforcement.

Foxtel will maintain its local character, led by the CEO, Patrick Delany , and his world-class management team.

Under the terms of the transaction, News Corp and Telstra will become minority shareholders in DAZN, enabling them to retain an interest in Foxtel.

They are a perfect match for us as we look toward this next era of growth. "We have been grateful for the support of News Corp while we reimagined the future of Foxtel. In 2019, when we merged Foxtel and Fox Sports we had many people questioning our future. "After launching Kayo later in 2019 and BINGE in 2020, today we are the largest Australian-based streamer of sport and entertainment, we have stabilised our Foxtel base and launched Hubbl to help consumers find all the streamed content they love all in one place.
