Verulamium was an ancient town in Roman Britain.
It was in the southwest of the modern city of St Albans in Hertfordshire.
Much of the Roman city is unexcavated, with the modern city built over it.
The ancient Watling Street passed through Verulamium, which was one of the most important towns in Roman Britain.
Much of the site and its environs is now a scheduled ancient monument.
Before the Romans, it was a settlement of the Catuvellauni tribe, which  called it Verlamion.
It was among the first places in Britain recorded by name.
Verulamium was burnt to the ground and its people slaughtered by Boudica of the Iceni in AD 61.
A black ash layer has been found, confirming the Roman written record.
The town was rebuilt, and grew to about  by the early 3rd century.
It was defended by a deep ditch and wall.
Verulamium had a Roman Forum, a basilica and a Roman theatre.
Much was damaged by fires in AD 155 and AD 250.
The town was rebuilt in stone rather than timber at least twice over the next 150 years.
Occupation by the Romans ended between 400 and 450.
There are a few remains of the Roman city visible, such as parts of the city walls, a hypocaust (heating system) still in place under a mosaic floor.
Remains of the theatre are on land belonging to the Earl of Verulam.

He was born on 21 January 1912 in Nysa, Prussian Silesia, German Empire (today Poland).
He studied at the Technical University in Munich from 1930 to 1934.
He fled to the Schweizerische Forschungsinstitut in Davos, Switzerland in 1934 because of the Nazi persecutions of Jews.

In 1964, Bloch won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine which he shared with Feodor Lynen.
They won the prize "for their discoveries concerning the mechanism and regulation of the cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism".
The work that they did showed that the body first makes squalene from acetate over many steps and then converts the squalene to cholesterol.
Bloch traced the carbon atoms in cholesterol back to acetate.
Some of the research that he did was conducted using radioactive acetate in bread mold and this was possible because fungi also produce squalene.
The results were confirmed after he tested it on rats.
He was one of the researchers who showed that all steroids were made from cholesterol.
His Nobel Lecture was The Biological Synthesis of Cholesterol.

iOS 5 is the fifth major version of Apple's mobile operating system, iOS.
It came after iOS 4, and was replaced by iOS 6, which was released on September 19, 2012.
The current version of iOS 5 is iOS 5.1.1.
iOS 5 was announced during Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2011.
Support was dropped for the iPhone 3G and the iPod Touch (2nd generation), and devices that are supported are the iPhone 3GS and later, the iPod Touch (3rd generation) and later, and the first generation iPad and later.
When the iPhone 4S was announced on October 4, 2011, the release date for iOS 5 was also announced.
iOS 5 was released on October 12, 2011.
The iPhone 4S already had iOS 5 installed on it, but other devices had to have the update installed through iTunes.
At first, many people could not install iOS 5 because they got error messages when they tried to download it.
This was because Apple's servers could not keep up with the number of people who are downloading the update.
Apple's cloud-based service, iCloud, came as part of the iOS 5 update.
This feature allows users to sync their music, pictures, videos, and more across all of their devices that have iCloud on them.
Each user is given 5 gigabytes of storage for free, but they are allowed to sync unlimited amounts of music, apps, books, and photos.
A new feature called iMessage, built into the Messages app, allows anyone with an iOS device to send unlimited messages to people with iOS 5.
It also allows iPhone users to send text messages to people who don't have an iOS device.
The Messages app used to be only on the iPhone, but iOS 5 brought it to the iPod Touch and iPad.
Other new features
iOS 5 allows devices to sync with iTunes wirelessly for the first time, without being connected to a computer.
iOS devices can also be activated and updated over a wireless network for the first time.
In iOS 5, you can get to the camera quickly from the lock screen swiping up on the camera icon.
Users can get to the camera without having to enter a passcode, but you can only use the camera.
At first, you had to double-click the home button on the lock screen to get to the camera button, but it was changed in iOS 5.1 so that you could swipe up on the camera button.
Notification Center was introduced in iOS 5, and it also changed how notifications are displayed.
Instead of a message that appears in the middle of the screen, stopping what was going on at the time, they appear in a banner on the top of the screen.
You can access Notification Center by swiping down from the top of the screen, where it is hidden, and it shows notifications that happened in the past.

In medicine, compliance or adherence refers to the fact that a patient follows the advice of the doctor, and takes the prescribed drugs in the quantities prescribed.
Compliance is important for the treatment of chronic diseases.
Worldwide, non-compliance is a major obstacle to the effective delivery of health care.
In 2003,   the World Health Organization estimated that only about half the patients with chronic diseases living in developed countries follow treatment recommendations.
In particular, low rates of adherence to therapies for asthma, diabetes, and hypertension are thought to contribute substantially to the human and economic burden of those conditions.
Compliance rates may be overestimated in the medical literature, as compliance is often high in the setting of a formal clinical trial but drops off in a "real-world" setting.
Some drugs are difficult to take, because they must be taken at a specific time or interval; sometimes, several drugs must be taken together.
This is seen as a major obstacle to compliance.
Other factors that may adversely influence compliance are that many patients do not understand the benefits of being treated, or they see side-effects that they were not told about, the drugs costing a lot of money, poor communication or lack of trust between the patient and their health-care provider.
Efforts to improve compliance have been aimed at simplifying drug packaging, providing effective medication reminders, improving patient education, and limiting the number of medications prescribed at the same time.

The glaucophytes are a small group of freshwater microscopic algae.
Together with the red algae (Rhodophyta)  and green algae plus land plants (Viridiplantae or Chloroplastida), they form the Archaeplastida.
The glaucophytes are of interest because they may be similar to the original algal type that led to green plants and red algae.
The relationships between these groups are not yet clear, and the glaucophytes in particular need more study.
The chloroplasts of glaucophytes are known as 'cyanelles'.
Unlike the chloroplasts in other organisms, they have a peptidoglycan layer, like bacterial cell walls.
This is thought to be a relic of the endosymbiotic origin of plastids from cyanobacteria.
Glaucophytes have the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll a. They harvest light with the same type of pigment molecules as do cyanobacteria and red algae.
Green algae and land plants have lost that pigment, which is known as phycobiliprotein.
Glaucophyte mitochondria and flagella (if present) are  similar to forms found in some green algae.
Only 13 species of glaucophytes are known, none of which is particularly common in nature.
There are three genera.
