Russian photographer Sergey Sapozhnikov takes as his topic and inspiration a landmark building of Russian Constructivism, the Drama Theatre in Rostov-on-Don. Designed by architects Vladimir Shchuko and Vladimir Gelfreikh in 1930, it's an iconic work built in the impressive shape of a tractor. Like several other buildings from the period, it underwent various transformations and only recently a poor restoration works.

Capone was widely assumed to have been responsible for ordering the 1929 Saint Valentine's Day Massacre, despite being at his Florida home at the time of the massacre. The massacre was an attempt to eliminate Bugs Moran, head of the North Side Gang, and the motivation for the plan may have been the fact that some expensive whisky illegally imported from Canada via the Detroit River had been hijacked while it was being transported to Cook County, Illinois.

Moran was the last survivor of the North Side gunmen; his succession had come about because his similarly aggressive predecessors, Weiss and Vincent Drucci, had been killed in the violence that followed the murder of original leader Dean O'Banion.

The basics of Japanese braiding without special equipment.
-------------------------
Kumihimo is a traditional Japanese artform of making braids and cords. Literally meaning "gathered threads",
kumihimo are made by interlacing reels of yarn, commonly silk, with the use of traditional, specialised looms –
either a marudai ('round stand') or a takadai (also known as a kodai).

There are a number of different styles of kumihimo weaving, which variously create a braided cord ranging
from very flat to almost entirely rounded. Kumihimo cords are used as obijime, cords worn belted around the
front of some obi when wearing kimono.
