History: The Habsburgs
In an age when family history has become popular, we look at one of the longest-lived and most influential families in European history. This family - which developed from being minor nobility in the early Holy Roman Empire to the holders of the title of Emperor - is still recognisable after over 1,000 years of existence. At one stage it controlled vast territories in Europe, America, and the Far East and even in its last stages of territorial control it was only removed as a result of external rather than internal forces.

Fitness and Exercise: Yoga for Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a health condition that weakens the bones making them fragile and more likely to break. The origin of the word is from the Greek language to mean 'porous bones'. Bones naturally have some empty space in them to allow them to bend and flex. Those with low bone density or osteoporosis have larger spaces and less bone mass - predisposing them to fractures and other bone injuries, especially in the hip, spinal vertebrae and some peripheral joints such as the wrists. Each week there is a simple, step by step guided practice to build bone strength, building and extending upon the previous week where we work on a variety of postures which are modified and adapted. These practices and techniques include slow, gentle, straightforward movements; breathing and relaxation techniques.
