![]() ![]() There is an additional fee for this but the frescoes here, and in the House of Livia, made it worthwhile.Įntry: Full ticket: € 12.00. On my last visit I finally made it up to the House of the Augustus – Rome’s first emperor. The ruins might be a bit confusing but you are heading into the political, economic, and social heart of ancient Rome. ![]() Another option is to buy your tickets online in advance – the marvels of modern technology!Īfter visiting the Colosseum, or beforehand, visit the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Instead of lining up here for a ticket, walk down the Via Imperali to the entrance to the Roman Forum and buy the combined ticket there. The architecture is overwhelming, standing at one of the 80 vaulted entrances and looking up makes you realise that the Roman architects wanted the individual to feel small and insignificant in comparison to the might of Rome. Built in by emperors Vespasian and Titus during the late 1st century AD, the Colosseum remains one of the most visited tourist attractions in the world. Seeing the Colosseum is a must for any visitor to the eternal city. Colosseum, Roman forum and imperial fora. The last thing you want to happen is to be turned away. In the photos above my shoulders are uncovered but I carried a light cardigan and scarf with me for modesty’s sake. Peters – in summer in particular, the queue here can be very long and you need to remember to dress respectfully. Make sure to leave plenty of time to get to St. Tips: Do book a ticket in advance so you can bypass the queues. ![]() Reduced ticket: € 8.00 (children 6 – 18 years old). Make sure to check out: Gregorian Egyptian Museum – particularly the reconstruction of the Serapeum of the Canopus at Hadrian’s Villa The Round Hall in the Pio Clementine Museum the aptly named ‘New Wing’ which includes my fave the Prima Porta Augustae (I’m posing with him above), the Raphael Room – making sure to stop at the School of Athens and the Gallery of Maps.Įntry: Full ticket: € 16.00. Obviously, I love the portrait galleries filled with long forgotten famous Romans, the treasures from Hadrian’s Villa (more below about that!), and the Round Hall stuffed with amazing statuary of the Roman deities. While the Sistene Chapel and Raphael Rooms are definitely not to be missed, take a moment to peruse the other galleries – especially if you end up deviating from the assigned route. This way you can settle in one of e bars and restaurants across from the Pantheon in the Piazza della Rotunda to enjoy the setting sun as it slides behind the ancient structure.Īmid the chaos of organised tours rushing through to see the Sistene Chapel lies one of the world’s finest museums, or should I say collections of museums? The Vatican Museum is in fact a large complex of interconnected museums which have been curated over hundreds of years. I’d recommend coming early in the morning or last thing at night. It can get very busy here and is a tourist hotspot watch your bags closely. ![]() If you stay here long enough, you can explore some of the other features such as the tombs of Raphael and Victor Emanual the second which are nestled in the apses of the rotunda. Upon entry, I always feel a sense of my own insignificance in the world, coupled with an irritation of selfie sticks, and I spend time just looking up at the coffered dome and watching the sun stream through the opening, the oculus. Built by the emperor Hadrian between 125-126 AD this temple is both a work of art and a work of astroaracheology. As you walk through the ancient Roman portico into the rotunda, you can’t help but be awed by the scale and grandeur of the former Roman temple. From the outside, the Pantheon (or church of Santa Maria…) hides a deceiving secret. I could go to these over and over and never get tired. I’ve been here six times, not bad from the opposite side of the world and I still find ways to entertain myself while here. With so much history it can be hard to know what to do in your time in Rome. Or closer to the present time where the much maligned Lucreza Borgia’s beauty was famed throughout Rome. Or, it is the age of the great Christian emperor Constantine and Rome is awash with different cultures and religious groups forming into one (or something like this). Here I can imagine that I’m back in the age of the first emperor Augustus and that at any moment political turmoil could break loose. Why? As a classics scholar it is the place that brings together almost all of my favourite sites and museums. Rome is where my heart lies, when I go there I feel as my soul sings. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Audrey's abusive boyfriend, Orin Scrivello, a sadistic dentist ("Dentist!"), encourages Seymour to take the plant and get out of Skid Row. Meanwhile, the employees at Mushnik's are sprucing up the flower shop because of the popularity of the rapidly growing Audrey II and the revenue that it is bringing in ("Closed for Renovation"). Her dream is to lead an ideal suburban life with Seymour, complete with a tract home, frozen dinners, and plastic on the furniture ("Somewhere That's Green"). As the caretaker of the plant, the timid Seymour is suddenly regarded as a hero ("Ya Never Know"), while Audrey secretly longs to leave her abusive boyfriend. As Audrey II grows, it becomes an attraction and starts generating brisk business for Mushnik. Seymour realizes that Audrey II requires blood to survive and allows the plant to suckle from his finger ("Grow For Me"). He accidentally pricks his finger on a rose thorn, which draws blood, and Audrey II's pod opens thirstily. The plant does not thrive in its new environment and appears to be dying, though Seymour takes very good care of it. Seymour, who is secretly in love with Audrey, names the plant Audrey II in her honor. After a sudden eclipse of the sun, Seymour finds a mysterious plant that looks like a large venus flytrap ("Da-Doo"). They are co-workers at a run-down flower shop owned and operated by the cranky Mr. They lament their stations in life and the urban blight in their neighborhood ("Skid Row (Downtown)").

The musical was also made into a 1986 film of the same name, directed by Frank Oz.Ī trio of 1960s street urchins named Crystal, Ronette, and Chiffon set the scene ("Little Shop of Horrors") and comment on the action throughout the show. Because of its small cast, it has become popular with community theatre, school and other amateur groups. and abroad, and a subsequent Broadway production. It later received numerous productions in the U.S. The musical premiered off-off-Broadway in 1982 before moving to the Orpheum Theatre off-Broadway, where it had a five-year run. The music, composed by Menken in the style of early 1960s rock and roll, doo-wop and early Motown, includes several well-known tunes, including the title song, "Skid Row (Downtown)", "Somewhere That's Green", and "Suddenly, Seymour". The musical is loosely based on the low-budget 1960 black comedy film The Little Shop of Horrors. The story follows a hapless florist shop worker who raises a plant that feeds on human blood and flesh. Little Shop of Horrors is a horror comedy rock musical with music by Alan Menken and lyrics and a book by Howard Ashman. ![]() ![]() ![]() Remember to back up your important files before proceeding with a reset. ![]() If the problem persists, you can try performing a system reset to restore your laptop to its default settings.

Project Spark is available for Windows 8 and Xbox One, and seamlessly connects between the two platforms, so games created and played on one platform are available on the other. But the abrupt nature of pivoting its business model makes us think that we'll be seeing a lot more games that will be inaccessible the moment the companies behind it decide it stops making financial sense, leaving customers with no access to something they've paid for, one of the biggest drawbacks of having an online, microtransaction-based component to any video game.Gamers who purchased the game or DLC after July 28th will get a refund: With 46 content packs, thousands of assets and 16 updates since launch, Project Spark was one of the better supported games from Microsoft. While this means there have been no layoffs at Microsoft, it also means it's simply no longer feasible to continue the behind-the-scenes work involved with keeping "Project Spark" up and running with meaningful updates and bug fixes, so we have come to this hard decision," his post continues. When "Project Spark" transitioned away from active development last fall, many of our team members moved to other projects within Microsoft Studios. "This was an extremely difficult decision for our team that we do not take lightly. From a tiny spark may burst a mighty flame - or not, in the case of Project Spark. Bradley Rebh, the project’s lead designer, shares. After four years of production and its official release in October 2014, Project Spark is quickly gaining traction as users create their own games and play those created by others. In the light of this news, one would assume there would be lay-offs at the studio. Now you can create your own adventure with Project Spark, a new game development platform by Microsoft Studios.

If you want to access user-generated content offline, you will need to download this content prior to 8/12/16," a post by Project Spark's Community Manager Thomas Gratz on the game's official forum reads. Microsoft said tonight that it will transition Project Spark from a free-to-play microtransaction game to a free and open creation engine. Project Spark unlocks imagination and creativity like never before. Without services, players will no longer be able to download user-generated content or upload their own creations. For existing users of "Project Spark," online services will be unavailable after 8/12/16. "Starting 5/13/16, "Project Spark" will no longer be available for download on the Xbox Marketplace or Windows Store. Now Microsoft has announced that it is killing off Project Spark altogether. The team behind it announced it will pivot to "a free and open creation platform" last year. The business model it followed was free with micro-transactions, allowing users to enhance and customise their experience. It let users make their own games on Windows PCs and the Xbox One. ![]() An official blog post from the tech giant states: This was an extremely difficult decision for our team that we do not take lightly. One of the more intriguing things to come out Microsoft's gaming efforts in the recent years is Project Spark.

Reference:ġ.“ Axon.” Wikipedia, Wikimedia Foundation, 1 Sept. Therefore, the main difference between axon and dendrite is the direction of the transmission of nerve impulses. Axons transmit nerve impulses away from the cell body, and dendrites transmit nerve impulses towards the cell body. Some axons are myelinated to speed up the transmission of nerve impulses. The diameter of an axon is uniform while dendrites consist of tapering ends. Both axons and dendrites transmit nerve impulses. ConclusionĪxon and dendrite are the two types of projections of a nerve cell. Afferent/EfferentĪxon:Axons form the efferent component of the nerve impulse.ĭendrite: Dendrite form the afferent component of the nerve impulse. Direction of the TransmissionĪxon: Axons carry nerve impulses away from the cell body.ĭendrite:Dendrites carry nerve impulses towards the cell body. Myelinated/Non-myelinatedĪxon:Axons can be either myelinated or non-myelinated.ĭendrite:Dendrites are non-myelinated. Nissl’s GranulesĪxon:Axons do not contain Nissl’s granules.ĭendrite: Dendrites contain Nissl’s granules. VesiclesĪxon:The synaptic knobs of the axons contain vesicles with neurotransmitters.ĭendrite:Dendrites do not have vesicles that contain neurotransmitters. ![]() Synaptic KnobsĪxon:The tips of the terminal branches of the axon are enlarged to form synaptic knobs.ĭendrite: No synaptic knobs occur at the tips of the branches of the dendrites. Branchingĭendrite:Dendrites are branched all along. Diameterĭendrite: Dendrites have tapering ends therefore diameter continuously decreases. LengthĪxon: Axons are very long (several meters).ĭendrite: Dendrites are very short (around 1.5 mm). OriginĪxon: An axon arises from a conical projection called axon hillock.ĭendrite:Dendrites arise directly from the nerve cell. Numberĭendrite:A nerve cell has many dendrites. Both axon and dendrite contain neurofibrils.ĭifference Between Axon and Dendrite DefinitionĪxon:Axon is the long thread-like part of a nerve cell which conducts nerve impulses away from the cell body.ĭendrite: Dendrite is the short branched extension of a nerve cell, which transmits nerve impulses to the cell body from synapses.Both axon and dendrite are branched structures. ![]() Both axon and dendrite transmit nerve impulses.Both axon and dendrite are projections of the cell body of a nerve cell. ![]() Since dendrites are short projections, they are not myelinated. A cross-section of an axon is shown in figure 1.ĭendrites possess tapering ends. The axon hillock is the initial segment of an axon. Vesicles that contain neurotransmitters are present in the axon terminals to transmit the nerve impulses by means of chemical signals through the synaptic gap. The membrane of the axon terminal is linked to the membrane of the target cell. The axon terminals form the synaptic connection with a dendron of another neuron or with an effector organ. The axon terminals are the swollen ends of the telodendria. The tips of the branched ends are formed by telodendria. Axons are branched at their terminal ends. The membrane that covers the axon is called the axolemma. Axons carry nerve impulses away from the cell body. Key Terms: Axon, Axon Hillock, Cell Body, Dendrites, Myelin, Myelinated Nerve Fibers, Nerve Cells, Non-Myelinated Nerve FibersĪn axon is single, long projection of a nerve cell. What is the Difference Between Axon and Dendrite What are the Similarities Between Axon and DendriteĤ. The main difference between axon and dendrite is that axon carries nerve impulses away from the cell body whereas dendrites carry nerve impulses from synapses to the cell body. The short structures that extend from the cell body are called dendrites. An axon is a long conical prolongation of the cell body of the nerve cell. They transmit nerve impulses to the brain, spinal cord, and to the body to coordinate the functions of the body. Nerve cells are the structural and functional units of the nervous system of animals.
