Title: Video: A Day in Pompeii
Body:
How did August 24, AD 78 unfold in Pompeii? Watch this 9-minute animated video as the day progresses from some rumbling and smoke from the Vesuvius in the morning, to tremors and ash fallout in the mid-afternoon, to destruction in the evening, to a final catastrophic onslaught of debris on the morning of August 25. There are some sounds of babies crying and dogs howling in some of the early scenes, but otherwise the focus is on the physical destruction of the city.

Title: Lesson on Apologizing in French
Body:
From https://www.commeunefrancaise.com/
Géraldine Lepère writes, “"Knowing how to apologize – and how to forgive someone – is one of the most important things you can learn in any language, even if you are just visiting another country! Knowing how to say “I’m sorry” in French will help you avoid awkward situations, apologize for your mistakes, and make sure you don’t offend anyone – or at least know how to fix things if you do!"
