British experts say they have found London's lost Black Death graves
History
And to go with that information: Black death was not spread by rat fleas, say researchers
Evidence from skulls in east London shows plague had to have been airborne to spread so quickly
Spring Clean Your Blogs: Reap the Rewards of Renewal
Bloggers' Corner
It's Spring!! It's Spring!! After a particularly trying Canadian winter I'm more than ready for this season of renewal and since Mother Nature still hasn't gotten the spring memo for my neck-of-the-woods I'm expending my new found energy on a much needed blog cleaning.
Truth be told, I really enjoy this creative process and so I thought I would share some of my enthusiasm.
First off, I'm really not talking about the little maintenance tasks that you should be doing all year round. Ensuring that your links are still working & your pictures are still posting are best dealt with on a regular basis otherwise they become a bit of a slog. If you have fallen behind, and who doesn't on occasion, you may want to take some time to get those in order before proceeding.
Now on to de-cluttering!
The older I get the more I value a well curated space be. Since this appreciation for restrained elegance is constantly at war with my natural magpie tendencies I have to compromise. I find it helps to take a step back and try to look at my blogs with fresh eyes all the while mumbling "... less is more ... less is more".
No matter how cool they are, if those gadgets & widgets are no longer highly functional & ascetically pleasing it's time to chuck them out.
Screen real estate is valuable; use it wisely while leaving room for your cherished content to breathe.

A Word to the Wise
Site News & Guidelines
Hello Everyone
It came to my attention yesterday (March 13th) that one of the Royal Courts members was sending out spam messages. I immediately banned her from the site.
It appears that she was sending a variety of messages including ones with "business opportunities" and "I need help - send money ..."
I know that most of us are internet-aware enough to recognize these as spam and not respond but I just wanted to post a word to the wise.
If you do receive these types of messages, please contact me as soon as possible so that I can take appropriate action.
Now back to our regularly scheduled program

Thanks for the information, Captain.
It's an area I don't really know anything about and what you're saying is very interesting. We'll have to investigate further.
