- Jefferson’s Masterpiece
Discussion. Collaboration. Enlightenment.
These are the ideals to which Thomas Jefferson aspired when conceiving the University of Virginia. In his quest to reinvent higher education in America, Jefferson sought to cultivate an environment in which students and faculty could live and learn from one another.
At the University of Virginia, scholars and professors could exercise their ingenuity, develop the tools of self-governance and push the boundaries of knowledge in service to the common good.
The result was a revolution: the Academical Village. Designed to foster cross-disciplinary exchange, Jefferson's design housed faculty from a range of specialties around a central Lawn. Students lived in single rooms between professors' homes. At the head of their shared Lawn stood the library (also known as the Rotunda). And at the Lawn's foot lay a panoramic view of the mountains, suggestive of the intellectual frontiers that lay open to discovery.
Indeed, Jefferson's Academical Village gave physical shape to his ideals--ideals that would alter the course of higher education in America and the world.

Restoring the Rotunda Capitals
UVA is regarded as one of the most beautiful and prestigious universities in the world. In 1987, UNESCO named the University (in conjunction with Monticello ) a World Heritage Site. This rare distinction has been bestowed upon only the world’s most culturally significant landmarks. As a proud recipient of this honor, UVA sits alongside such renowned global sites as the Acropolis, the Galapagos Islands and the Pyramids of Giza. The University is one of only two such sites still being used for its original purpose.
The Academical Village continues to bring Jefferson's vision to life every day. The Rotunda —originally the University’s library—still serves as the heart of the University and as a symbol of our endless pursuit of knowledge. The eastern and western sides of the Lawn retain the unique pavilions sketched by Jefferson, flanking student living quarters. Designed to promote purposeful collaboration, these buildings continue to play a major role in the University’s community, housing our most honored faculty and student leaders. Just steps from the Lawn and Rotunda, the Memorial to Enslaved Laborers honors the lives and work of those who built and maintained the University in its early years.

Things to do in Perm: 13 reasons I loved Perm
I really, really liked Perm. If you’re looking for reasons to visit Perm – or maybe even for things to do in Perm, then look no further. I visited on my Trans-Siberian journey and was so happy I did. Let me try and convince you why!
I’m going to say it again: I really, really liked Perm . The city was somewhere I’d always been curious about – mostly because I wanted to visit Perm-36 , the only former Soviet detention camp that has been preserved and is open to the public. But the more I read about the city, the more I was convinced I would like it ( despite its less-than-stellar reputation throughout the rest of Russia ), but even I have to say I’m surprised by how much I liked the city. In fact, Perm was easily my favourite city I visited on the Trans-Siberian.
Perm was easily my favourite city on the Trans-Siberian.
Here’s a few reasons why Perm left such a positive impression on me.
Check out my full Trans-Siberian itinerary here .
13 reasons I loved Perm
The last city in europe.
Perm is the last city in Europe, travelling east
Perm has the right to officially call itself the last city in Europe , thanks to its location just to the West of the Ural mountains. Traditionally, Perm was the last big stop that traders would make before heading into Siberia via the Kama River and traversing Siberia’s extensive river network.
But for me, travelling from East to West, Perm was the first city in Europe I reached and it 100% felt like it. The architecture in the core city centre has a strong Tsarist, imperialist feel. Streets of beautiful, old, pastel-coloured brick buildings from the turn of the century felt a world away from Siberia’s mixture of Soviet blocks and traditional wooden architecture.
The best food on my trip
Hands down, the best food I ate on my entire three-week trip was in Perm . If you’re looking for the best places to eat in Perm, head straight for Ris-Lapsha ( Rice and noodles ), a really cool Asian restaurant that does fantastic dishes. Quite similar to Wagamama’s in the UK (if you know it) in terms of offering, but a hundred times nicer. It was recommended to me several times by local Permians as one of the best restaurants in Perm , so you know it has to be good. It’s a small chain, but the most central restaurant is on Permskaya Ulitsa (number 11) , but not marked on Google Maps.
Another great restaurant worth checking out is Toropomodoro , found in a small courtyard just off Ul. Lenina. The interior is a very intimate ( read: small ) exposed-brick set up, with just a handful of tables. The menu is surprisingly long and the pizzas are amazing . Also recommended to me by a local, this is another great choice if you’re looking for the best food in Perm.
The Perm Stefanov Holy Trinity Monastery
One of the most beautiful monasteries I came across during my trip was the Perm Stefanov Holy Trinity Monastery, found in the Motovilikha suburb. Our visit here was fleeting, but the monastery is just as beautiful inside as out. Located a bit further out from the centre of Perm, the monastery is nevertheless well-worth a short taxi ride to explore.
Dr. Zhivago
Gribushin House
If you’re a fan of Russian literature, you might also be familiar with Perm for its connection to the novel Dr. Zhivago . I haven’t read it personally, but the author, Boris Pasternak, set the novel in a town based on Perm; on the city’s tourist trail, you can visit several buildings that were the inspiration for locations in the novel. House Gribushin is a great example.
Natural beauty of Perm Krai
En route to Perm-36 – less than an hour outside of Perm
The city of Perm is found in the Perm Krai (the Perm region), which is roughly two-thirds the size of the UK, with a population of less than three million. We drove through just a tiny portion of the area to reach Perm-36, but even on this short drive, I was taken by just how beautiful and green Perm Krai is . As I mentioned in my blog post about Ulan-Ude , I didn’t manage to take as many day trips out of cities and I wanted, but it looks like there are a lot of possibilities to get out and see more of Perm Krai, if you have the time. Tour companies like Evrasia Tours have some amazing options if you are looking for day trips from Perm. I would have loved to explore more and maybe done some hiking in the north of the region.
Perm architecture
One of the beautiful riverside mansions in Perm
Perm is genuinely a really pretty city in my opinion: walking around and appreciating some of the city’s architecture is one of the nicest things to do in Perm. The main streets in the city centre have some beautiful buildings, typical of the more European-style from the Russian empire. (Of course there are plenty of Soviet high-rises, too.) If you follow the green tourist trail, you’ll be led around some of the city’s nicest buildings, but those along ul. Lenina are particularly picturesque. The old train station (Perm I) and the mansions along the river are other standouts.
PERMM – The Museum of Modern Art
Getting interactive at PERMM
Chances are, if you’re thinking of visiting Perm, you’ll have already read about PERMM , an art gallery which Lonely Planet touts as one of the few subversive spaces in Russia. I have to admit, I’m not the biggest fan of art (modern or classical), but I would say that this impressive space is probably worth checking out. The exhibition when I visited was fairly out-there , but still something that I could enjoy . And while the museum is probably a lot less controversial than it might have been (PERMM’s founder and curator was removed in 2013 for poking fun at the Sochi Winter Olympics), it’s still a very cool, independent museum of art and one of the best things to do in Perm.
On my way to my amazing meal at Ris-Lapsha (see above), I stumbled upon a really cool area that was full of street art, which isn’t the most common sight in Russia. I’m not sure if this was a designated graffiti zone or something, but the art looked VERY professional ( and very instagrammable ). The area was the short, pedestrianised stretch of ul. Permskaya, roughly from number 55-67.
Cologne meets Perm
Now one of the weirdest moments of my trip – or quite possibly my life – was when I happened to glance up from my phone on the tram, just as we travelled past a Kölsch bar. Now, for those of you who don’t know, Kölsch is a special type of beer native to the city of Cologne (where I live). I had genuinely no idea this bar existed and found it by pure chance.
I went back later to find that not only was the bar dedicated to the beer, but all things Cologne. The inside was decked out in red and white (the city colours), there were prints of Cologne cathedral on the walls and emblems for the local football team FC Köln everywhere. I was in heaven. A home away from home.
‘Happiness is not behind the mountains’
“Happiness is not far away”: the new symbol of Perm
Everybody loves a good local landmark. Even better when that landmark can easily and frequently be instagrammed. Luckily, Perm has just that; a sign on the banks of the Kama river, which means ‘ Happiness is not far away ,’ (but more literally translates to: ‘ Happiness is not behind the mountains’ ) has become the new landmark of the city. The sign is pretty popular for Instagrammers, particularly when the river floods and the letters appear to be floating on the surface of the water. I don’t mind saying I grew very fond of this landmark and must have revisited at least three times to take about one million photos .
Perm was historically the last stop before crossing the Ural mountains into Siberia, the saying has a lot of relevance here. (It also doesn’t hurt that Perm’s rival, Yekaterinburg, is found on the other side of those mountains.)
The friendly bear
It’s good luck to rub the nose of the Perm bear.
However, the official symbol of the city is actually quite different – it’s a friendly walking bear and is found on the city’s crest. (Big emphasis on the ‘ friendly’ – the bear isn’t a show of strength or aggression but friendship and curiosity.)
The new friendly walking bear: in magnet form
Now one thing that really appealed to me about Perm was the region’s new branding – including a very artistic take on the friendly, walking bear. In fact, it’s fair to say that the Perm Tourism Board where pretty confused when I rocked up asking if I could buy anything with the bear on it. Instead, they gave me a load of stuff for free, including a very nice magnet, a t-shirt and more leaflets than you could shake a stick at. I am a sucker for nice branding .
The Kama Riverfront
Within the city itself, the Kama river is a great place to spend some time when the sun is shining. One thing that really left a last impression on me from this journey was just the sheer size of Russia’s rivers – the Kama is a relatively short river, but it is huge! The promenade which runs along the river is really well kept – I would recommend taking a leisurely stroll if you are looking for things to do in Perm.
The idea of visiting Perm-36 is what put Perm on my Trans-Siberian itinerary. And I’m sure it’s the same for many other visitors passing through: visiting the former GULAG is probably the #1 thing to do in Perm. Perm-36 is the only preserved GULAG in the entire of Russia and today functions as a museum and memorial site that can be visited on a guide tour from the city.
However, it’s fair to say that if you’ve read A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich , Perm-36 will probably feel quite tame. Despite being a forced-labour camp, the political prisoners here were entitled to certain luxuries not permitted elsewhere, allowing for trees and gardens to be grown in the barracks, for example. You can read more about the daily life of prisoners here .
A cleaner at the Perm railway station did this to a photo of Stalin in frustration of not getting a new uniform. She was sentenced to 10 years’ hard labour. Afterwards, she had restrictions on where she could live and work for a further five years.
Visiting is a fascinating look into the Soviet system of punishment – the on-site museum to the Stalinist purges is fascinating and tragic and shows just how casually the deaths of thousands were authorised by one man and his signature. If you are interested in Soviet history, do not miss the chance to visit.

I seriously had no idea this city was such a gem!
It was such a great place to spend some time in! I expected to like it, but I was still really surprised how much. I would happily re-visit and spend some time exploring the Krai. Would fully recommend it for a weekend.

Perm vodka distillery "PermAlko" excursion Vodka... probably there is no stronger Russian cliche than the country's most adored drink. Ever since the spirit appeared over a millenium ago, there has been a quarrel between the Russians and the Polish about who invented vodka first. Some say that the Polish started producing vodka using potato whereas the Russians used grain. Nevertheless, it is a fact that nowhere in the world more vodka is produced and consumed than in Russia. There are over a thousand registered brands of vodka in Russia, not taking into account the probably even larger number of "samagon" - the notorious home-made version, which is illegally sold everywhere. Although, during its long history of consumption, vodka has probably brought as much grief (alcoholism) as it brought joy, it has undeniniably integrated with Russian culture in many ways. Even today, no celebration goes without it... There are a few leading distilleries in Russia of which PermAlko, Perm's largest distillery, is one. Apart from local brands such as "Great Perm", "Old Ural", "Permskiy Krai", "Dimidovskaya" and "Permskaya Luxe", PermAlko also produces vodka for export among which are "Moskovskaya", "Smirnoff" and "Stolichnaya". The factory started producing vodka since 1895. Later, PermAlko also started producing a number of variations on plain vodka, for example: cranberry vodka, honey vodka, peppered vodka and several balzams. Balzam is a spirit varying from 25 to 50 percent alcohol, which is made using a large number of herbs and spices as a main ingredient for taste. During the 2-hour excursion at PermAlko, you are told about the factory and its products. The guide explains you about the distillation process of vodka - from water, sugar and grain until the bottled product - as he/she takes you past the different sections of the distillery. At the end of the tour, you are invited to the 'tasting room' to sense the flavours and aromas of different vodkas. There, in the form of a small lunch, you will be offered the typical snacks that Russians traditionally take with consuming vodka. And naturally you will not leave the distillery without a big souvenir...!

Historic Garden Week gives you the chance to see four breathtaking Lakewood homes
The tour kicks off saturday, april 27 at 10 a.m..
Keshia Lynn , Multimedia Journalist
ROANOKE, Va. – You can have the chance to tour four beautiful homes in the Lakewood neighborhood as part of Roanoke’s Historic Garden Week , which takes place tomorrow starting at 10 a.m.
The homes that are featured were built from 1913 to the 1950s. Chair of Historic Garden Week Jeanne Fishwick with the Roanoke tour said every house showcased differs from its interior styles and gardens.

“I think I like something special in every home one of my favorite things is all the homes have beautiful color. I really love color and interior design and every one of these homes has art,” said Fishwick.
One of the homes on the tour is owned by Meredith Draper. She said she fell in love with the home and neighborhood the second she saw it more than 10 years ago.
“We added on to the house and made it what we needed for our family and it’s just it is a wonderful neighborhood. Kind of right in the middle of the city, but you don’t feel like you’re in the middle of the city,” said Draper.
The home was built in 1952, and it’s a traditional, white-brick colonial.
Draper said when they moved in, she had to build her garden from scratch. She said it’s taken her about 10 years to build it up. There’s everything you can think of too from lilacs, magnolias, peonies and boxwood. She even has her favorite, which are hydrangeas.
“I just love them when they’re in bloom, and unfortunately, they’re not in bloom until later summer,” said Draper.
There’s also a pool that has several flowers and bushes surrounding it. The best part is the pool overlooks the garden.
Roanoke’s Historic Garden Week, which has existed for 91 years, is sponsored by the Garden Club of Virginia. The annual event allows visitors to tour private landscapes, public gardens and historic sites across Virginia, including Roanoke. This year, there are 29 tours across the Commonwealth. All proceeds from the event go toward raising money for the restoration and preservation of historic properties around the state.
“We’re always in Roanoke at the end of April,” said Fishwick.
The Lakewood neighborhood has not been featured in more than 50 years.
“I think it’s a beautiful little hidden gem of a neighborhood. The homes are absolutely gorgeous. The history of the neighborhood is very interesting. It was originally developed as a hunting lodge and property to escape downtown Roanoke,” said Fishwick.
If you come out on Saturday, you can even view the first floor of each house.
“I love peddling around in my home and the way I decorate our home is I truly buy what I love and just make it work. So, our home is very eclectic. I mix antiques and modern stuff. I have porcelain that I’ve collected. I have a Herend collection,” said Draper.
The event kicks off Saturday at 10 am at Virginia Western Community College. Shuttle buses are taking people to and from the Lakewood neighborhood until 4 pm. At the community college, you’ll have the chance to see the Community Arboretum and there are several vendors for you to enjoy.

Music and concerts, music and concerts | journey’s 50th anniversary tour makes its way to norfolk with a ‘dirty dozen’ in store.
Journey is back with its 50th-anniversary tour, headlining arenas this spring before spending a chunk of the summer on a stadium tour with Def Leppard.
Guitarist and founding member Neal Schon and keyboardist/guitarist Jonathan Cain say that today’s band has never played better.
“Finally, it sounds like the Journey everybody knows,” Cain said of the group, which formed in 1973 in San Francisco. “It’s back to the ’80s, that’s what it sounds like.”
Journey with special guest star Toto is coming to Scope Friday.
Schon and Cain are the two remaining members going back to the early 1980s when Journey was churning out hits like “Don’t Stop Believing,” “Any Way You Want It” and “Open Arms.” The two reflected on the band during a recent video interview, including on recent lawsuits, disputes and personnel changes, and regaining a level of popularity that has Journey back on the road.
But there were more issues to come – this time between Schon and Cain. Schon sent a cease-and-desist letter to Cain after Cain joined a sing-along of “Don’t Stop Believing” at a November 2022 event for former president Donald Trump. Cain’s wife, Paula, had worked as a spiritual advisor to Trump. Schon took offense to Cain’s performance, noting that Journey never was and never would be a political band.
Then last year, Schon and Cain traded lawsuits over a financial account for the group. The bandmates hashed out their differences without the courts, they said.
“All we really did was get fed up with the legal and having legals talk instead of us,” Schon said. “We talked for a couple of hours and we talked through it all. I think that’s what fixed everything.”
Now Schon and Cain are leading Journey (with Pineda, Castronovo and Jensen) on one of the band’s biggest touring years. Fans can expect to hear Journey’s biggest hits — the “Dirty Dozen” as the band has nicknamed them — with a handful of new or deeper cuts. This makes crafting set lists a challenge but it’s a problem many bands would welcome.
“We just have a massive catalog,” Cain said, “with so many great songs that we don’t get to.”
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Where: Scope, 201 E. Brambleton Ave., Norfolk
Tickets: Start at $49.50

Federal officials tour newly online Richard Mine AMD treatment Plant
Rachel Pell | Thursday, April 25, 2024
MORGANTOWN – The new Richard Mine acid mine drainage treatment plant began operation last week, and on Monday, officials from the U.S. Department of Interior and the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement toured the site in advance of a special DOI announcement (see companion story).
“This pretty much will help restore the lower end of the watershed,” Jonathan Knight, with the state Department of Environmental Protection Office of Abandoned Mine Lands told the officials.
Knight gave a brief history of the mine and the efforts to get the plant built, culminating in a Natural Resources Conservation Service partnership with the DEP to get it built. The DEP’s Office of Special Reclamation helped design the site.
AML’s Travis Parsons led the tour, which began at the mine portal manhole where the mine water previously flowed down a concrete trench into Deckers Creek. Above the channel, the water was clear, below it the water was orange.
Now, he showed the group, the water is diverted off to the right (in the downstream direction) and underground through a 12-inch line into a manhole, then to another manhole – the metering manhole – where the water flow is measured before heading into the plant. At the moment it was just over 900 gallons per minute.
The plant crew uses the flow rate to determine some aspects of treatment, he said.
Inside the plant, the water heads over toward the big solo to bring the pH up so it’s no longer acid. Hydrated lime comes down from the silo and is mixed with water to create a lime slurry that is pumped to rapid mix tanks to join the mine water.
The water heads to the flocculators, where the suspended solids are aggregated into larger clumps called flocs. From there, the water goes to the two clarifying pools. The visitors looked down into the pools to see plumes of brown sludgy water flowing in.
In the clarifiers, the sludge settles out and gets pumped to two huge geotube bags situated outside at the edge of the plant. The now-clean water gets pumped back into the creek – through a new channel downstream of the old one.
Parsons led the group into motor control center – the brains of the plant, he called it. A computer server sits inside a gray metal cabinet and the monitor allows the operator to scroll through various screens and see every piece of equipment and make adjustments. Operators will also be able to access this screen from their cellphones and iPads and laptops and make adjustments remotely.
The Richard Mine Complex, Knight told the group, will also become the central hub to remotely control other AMD sites.
“With the exception of this plant, all of our systems are very primitive,” he said. They have a contract to replace six systems with fully automated systems that will all communicate with this one. They expect to have the sites upgraded and tied in within the next two to three years.
DEP also has stream restoration projects planned for downstream on Deckers Creek. Among them: Farther downstream, the Rock Forge mine on the other side across W.Va. 7 is dumping into the creek and saturating backyards and basements of homes along the road.
An orange-colored wet spot crossing the road shows where the mine is draining. They plan to capture the runoff from it and pump it back to the Richard plant for treatment.
And further upgrades are planned for the complex, he told them. Existing buildings will be upgraded and used for storage and equipment. They plan to pave the gravel parking lot. And the whole site will be fenced off for security.
A third clarifier, in an attached building, is not yet online. This one will be used for extracting rare earth elements – a project tied to WVU Water Research Institute’s rare earth element production project. The extracted material will be formed into a preconcentrate and then shipped to a central facility for processing and refining into rare earth metals...

Orange crush: Boats packed with revelers tour Amsterdam canals to celebrate the king’s birthday

AMSTERDAM (AP) — Decked in the national orange color, dancing to music, and eating orange-glazed pastries, many in the Netherlands Saturday are marking King’s Day , celebrating the birthday of their monarch who is enjoying a very slight rise in popularity as per a national poll.
As King Willem-Alexander celebrated his 57th birthday with his family in the northeastern city of Emmen, people across the country engaged in the traditional “free markets” held on that day, selling second-hand toys, books and other items. Others toured through the historic canals of the capital, Amsterdam as orange smoke from flares held aloft one boat drifted over vessels of all shapes and sizes jostling for space on a busy canal.
“Celebrating your birthday with your own family is the most beautiful thing you can experience. I’m very happy everybody is back,” Willem-Alexander told Dutch broadcaster NOS during a walkabout in Emmen, 190 kilometers (120 miles) northeast of the Dutch capital.
An annual poll published by the NOS for King’s Day showed Willem-Alexander’s popularity edging up very slightly since last year to 6.6 out of 10. His Argentine-born wife, Queen Maxima, scored 7.1 out of 10 in the poll of 1,015 people, conducted earlier this month.
The royals’ popularity took a hit during the COVID-19 pandemic after Willem-Alexander and his family went on vacation in Greece during a partial lockdown. The royals cut short their break amid national uproar and Willem-Alexander took the unusual step of issuing a video message to express his regret and contrition for the trip.
The king’s three daughters, Amalia, Alexia and Ariane have all spent time out of the country recently — Ariane has been studying in Italy while Alexia has taken a gap year to travel. The eldest and heir to the Dutch throne, Amalia, also returned ahead of the king’s birthday after being forced to leave her student accommodation in Amsterdam and move to Madrid following threats from the criminal underworld.
Amalia, 20, who is studying politics, psychology, law and economics at Amsterdam University, told NOS she was “extremely grateful to everybody who made it possible” for her to live in Spain, where she said she was able to enjoy more freedom than in the Netherlands.
But, she added: “I’m glad to be back.”
