Run Time approx. 2 minutes. Italian Medieval Dance.
The town of Castellina dance group was founded in 1999 with the aim of studying and disseminating the dances of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, taking origin from the ancient and little known story of the small medieval village of Castellina in Serravalle where, each year in the month of July there is a striking reenactment of a banquet at court in which the performances of the dance group play a major role.The study of direct sources, iconographic and historical investigations have led tobuild and rebuild choreographies that draw on the cultures of the European Middle Ages and Renaissance. The town of Castellina dance group is composed exclusively of persons who, as a hobby, spend their free time to the noble art of dance.
The dresses of the dancers have historically inserted between 1300 and 1400, being taken from paintings from this period.
The Historical Group coordinated by Traversari Sig.re Laura andRoberta MARCHESINI under the choreographic direction of Ms. Annalisa Ceccarelliand comprises: Annalisa Ceccarelli, BANI Angela, Roberta MARCHESINI, PatriziaEASTER, Laura Traversari, Traversari Deborah, Orsola Sorrentino, TOGNOZZILucia, Josephine Celano, GIUSTINO Sabrina, Julia ROMAGNANI, Eliana Camilli,Marraccini Deborah Iacomelli Jade, Eleanor soundings.

A compelling and award-winning portrait of Othar Turner, his music and their role in the Gravel Springs community. The film not only demonstrates how to make a cane fife, but also gets to the heart of both Turner and his fife and drum music as he's shown performing at an annual Fourth of July picnic. Quick cuts between dancing band members and the rhythmic movements of Turner's family going about their daily chores capture the mounting excitement and provide a rare, revealing glimpse of the work and play that characterize this traditional rural Mississippi society.

NASA's Swift satellite has acquired the highest-resolution view of the neighboring spiral galaxy M31. Also known as the Andromeda Galaxy, M31 is the largest and closest such galaxy to our own. It's more than 220,000 light-years across and lies 2.5 million light-years away in the constellation Andromeda. Between May 25 and July 26, 2008, Swift's Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) acquired 330 images of M31 at wavelengths of 192.8, 224.6, and 260 nanometers. The images represent a total exposure time of 24 hours. Some 20,000 ultraviolet sources are visible in the image, including M32, a small galaxy in orbit around M31. Dense clusters of hot, young, blue stars sparkle in the disk beyond the galaxy's smooth, redder central bulge. Star clusters are especially plentiful along a ring about 150,000 light-years across.

The flag was adopted on July 24, 1913, has a background of colonial blue surrounding a diamond of buff color in which the coat of arms of the state is placed. Below the diamond are the words "December 7, 1787," which is the date Delaware first ratified the United States constitution. The shades of buff and colonial blue represent those of the uniform of General George Washington. Inside the diamond, the flag recognizes the importance of commerce{the ship}and agriculture{wheat, corn, the ox and the farmer}to the state. Tribute is also paid to the revolutionary war soldiers. The words in the ribbon banner read Liberty and Independence. The state anthem is “Our Delaware” written by George B. Hynson and composed by M. S. Brown. With this video you can see the flag and hear the anthem. Good for all students.

Aviator Amelia Earhart was born on July 24, 1897 in Atchison, Kansas. In 1923, Earhart, fondly known as "Lady Lindy," became the 16th woman to be issued a pilot's license. She had several notable flights, becoming the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean in 1928, as well as the first person to fly over both the Atlantic and Pacific. In 1937, she mysteriously disappeared while trying to circumnavigate the globe from the equator. Since then, several theories have formed regarding Earhart's last days, many of which have been connected to various artifacts that have been found on Pacific islands—including clothing, tools and, more recently, freckle cream. Earhart was legally declared dead in 1939. In this Biography Channel full length video, learn more about the life of pilot, Amelia Earhart. (43:11)

Rembrandt was a master of chiaroscuro (the effects of light and light's contrasts) and it shows in these paintings. Many different works are displayed but there is no explanation about the pictures.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was born on July 15, 1606, in Leiden, the Netherlands. His father was a miller who wanted the boy to follow a learned profession, but Rembrandt left the University of Leiden to study painting. His early work was devoted to showing the lines, light and shade, and color of the people he saw about him. He was influenced by the work of Caravaggio and was fascinated by the work of many other Italian artists. When Rembrandt became established as a painter, he began to teach and continued teaching art throughout his life.

THE DETECTIVE: Elyse Luray THE PLACE: San Jose, California THE CASE: July 2, 1937: newspapers all over the world report the same event: Amelia Earhart’s airplane disappears over the pacific. The disaster and presumed death of the beloved 39 year-old heroine gripped the public. For decades historians have debated how and where the aviator disappeared. Both scientific and more fanciful theories abound: some surmise she landed on uninhabited Gardner Island. Others suggest she was captured and executed by the Japanese. Less scrutinized is an accident she had four months earlier, during take-off for her around-the-world flight. Did that crash somehow contribute to Earhart’s disappearance? Over seventy years later, History Detectives investigates whether a fragment of metal is from the missing plane. (15:56)
