During World War II, Nazi Germany carried out the greatest art theft in history.
Led by Nazi philosopher Alfred Rosenberg and the Reichsleiter Rosenberg Task Force (ERR), the Nazis stole over one million art pieces from across Europe. Many of the plundered “ownerless cultural goods” were destined for a proposed Führermuseum in Linz.
At the urging of art conservator and Navy reservist George Stout, U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt established the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives program (MFAA), with the aim of protecting cultural treasures from the violence of warfare and returning stolen works to their rightful owners.

On his 10-year trip home, the Greek hero Odysseus at one point had to steer his ship and crew down a narrow stretch of water menaced on opposite sides by two sea monsters, Scylla and Charybdis.
The Greek people are in similar dire straits as they prepare to vote on a future in which they face two painful prospects: the slow grind of years more of austerity cuts or the country’s potentially catastrophic exit from the euro.
The question is whether their vote on Sunday can help them escape either. “Yes” to more budget cuts in exchange for a financial aid package for the country? Or reject it in the hope it will not lead the country out of the euro?

Oh MyGoodness! Incredible! The most impressive young lady!
Amira Willighagen singing “O mio babbino caro” — with Marc Ferre, Mahmoud Kabil, Michelle Waldsen, Enaya Albukhary, Ahmed Elsherbini, Kandel Khaga Raj, Salwa Karam, Rumiantceva Yulia and Arlindo Raposo.
One viewer’s comment: Carrine L – Okay, so EVEN if you are not into classical or opera you have to watch this young lady, a child really, sing this… The sound coming out of her little body doesn’t even look like it is her but more like she is a conduit for some other force greater then her sending a message, speaking with music through her… I don’t know, just watch it!
I love Andre Rieu (the renowned Dutch violinist, conductor and composer) when he works with young talents!

History was made in the ballet world this week when soloist Misty Copeland was promoted to principal dancer, thereby becoming the first black female principal in the 75-year history of the American Ballet Theatre.
Copeland, now 32 years old, has been dancing with the American Ballet Theatre for over 14 years, nearly eight as a soloist. Most recently, she starred as Odette/Odile in “Swan Lake” at the Met, a role dance critic Alastair Macaulay called “the most epic role in world ballet.”
Copeland’s name is known far beyond the traditional confines of the ballet world, in part due to her emphatic openness regarding the problematic relationship between race and ballet. As Elizabeth Blair explained on NPR: “It’s hard for any ballet dancer to succeed, regardless of race, but a black dancer is up against a centuries-old aesthetic — the idea, for example, that the swan must be feather-weight and snow white, and so does her prince.” tangie

Baa Baa Obamacare have you any wool? Yes Sir! Yes Sir! Many bags full. Affordable health care is making its way through the courts.
It took Social Security approximately 7 years to get past the dissenters. I know people Black and White who worked all their lives at a minimum wage which was to low and weren’t able to save for retirement and now live on Social Security. A treat is a well prepared chuck steak. While corporations who wouldn’t pay a decent salary raked in billions.
I’m not calling for socialism, just make sure the populous has a fair minimum wage, plus quality education available. Educated people with no jobs become entrepreneurs or not, their choice, but when opportunity knocks they step up. They make better decisions when voting (electing no idiots)
Quality education, quality healthcare just 2 of the many things needed for this country to stay great!
If knowledge is power, what is lack of knowledge? Ignorance. Is ignorance a design to control the masses? Look what happens in the Muslim world. With their education systems destroyed by war , idiots now rule.
Save America from idiots, educate a healthy populous!

An act of kindness by four young brothers has kept a 75-year-old woman from going to jail.
When the grass on Gerry Suttle’s lawn reached a height of 18 inches, a notice was supposedly issued asking her to appear before a judge. An ordinance for the city of Riesel, Texas, where Suttle lives, states that the “growth of weeds and grass may not exceed 18 inches.”
But Suttle never got the notice — she says it was never delievered — and a warrant for her arrest was issued, local news station KWTX reports.
