This is one of highly recommended museums in Munich. First it is one of the oldest museums of the city – more than 200 years is a good deal. Also its main theme – ancient sculpture is quite seldom exposed alone, so this place is quite unique. All the expo halls are spread around a cozy four-square inner yard, where you could enjoy your coffee, think about the turns of history and discuss your ideas with friends and other visitors. You should also remember about "museum Sunday rule" in Munich. Here as well as in lots of other Munich museums you can get your ticket for a miserable price (about 1 EUR). Children go on Sundays for free.


Here's a late edition of "Oldie Goldies" this week, with a look at a great piece of Italian neorealist cinema - "Rome Open City". This first film in Roberto Rossellini's War Trilogy is nicely shot and features a really compelling story. It certainly deserved its Best Screenplay nomination for the 1947 Oscars.
Major Bergman: Then it would mean an Italian is worth as much as a German. It would mean there is no difference in the blood of a slave race and a master race. And no reason for this war."
This film is considered a quintessential example of neorealism in film, so much so that together with Paisà and Germania anno zero it is called Rossellini's "Neorealist Trilogy."

If you're a seasoned homeowner, you're likely already aware of some of the perks that come with owning real estate, not least of which are the tax advantages. From being able to write off property taxes, home improvements and expenses, and mortgage interest, to taking advantage of renewable energy and energy efficient tax credits and more, there are plenty of opportunities for federal income tax deductions to help you save on your tax bill.
In fact, homeowner tax breaks are cited as one of the primary motivations when people decide to buy their own home. In order to take full advantage of these financial benefits, its important for homeowners to educate themselves about the myriad real estate tax savings available to them.
1. Home Mortgage and Refinancing Points: Mortgage lenders charge a variety of fees, one of which is called "points;" one point is equal to 1% of the loan principal. When you purchase real estate and close on the loan, you can write off the points you paid (both origination and discount points) at closing. Depending on your eligibility, you can either deduct all the points at once, or you may have to amortize them over the life of the loan.
2. Home Improvement Loan Interest: The IRS considers interest on a loan to make substantial home improvements fully deductible, up to $100,000 in debt; the work must be considered a "capital improvement" rather than ordinary repairs. Qualifying capital improvements are those that increase your home's value; examples include things like adding a new roof, fence, garage, porch, built-in appliances, insulation, heating/cooling systems, or landscaping. Standard repairs, such as repainting, plastering, wallpapering, patching a roof, repairing broken windows, and the like are not deductible.
Interest paid on a HELOC (home equity line of credit) is also tax deductible, but a home loan that is worth more than the value of the property is not deductible.
3. Property Taxes: In most cases, property taxes are tax-deductible, and transfer taxes can be written off as well. However, other items on your settlement statement when you close, including your attorney and appraisal fees, title insurance and credit report costs, cannot be written off on your taxes. And a city or state property tax refund will reduce your federal deduction by the same amount.
4. Energy-Efficiency Tax Credit: Installing storm doors, energy efficient windows, air-conditioning and heating systems, and insulation can get you a tax credit. This credit has a maximum lifetime limit of $500 and you can only use $200 of this limit for windows; this credit will expire on Dec. 31, 2016.
5. Renewable-Energy Tax Credit: Homeowners may be eligible for the Renewable Energy Efficiency Property Credit if they installed equipment that uses renewable sources of energy like the sun and wind to help power their home. This tax credit can be as high as 30% of the cost of the equipment as long as the equipment is in service by December 31, 2016.
6. Income and Interest on Reverse Mortgages: Reverse mortgages are considered a loan advance, not income, so the IRS doesn't tax you on the amount you receive in a reverse mortgage. However, the interest accrued on a reverse mortgage isn't deductible until the loan is paid off, so you cant take an annual deduction for the interest as you could with a traditional mortgage.
7. Private Mortgage Insurance: If you were required to buy PMI (private mortgage insurance) by your lender, the PMI premiums are tax-deductible for mortgages taken out after 2006, but the amount of the deduction depends on your income. If household earnings are over $100,000 per year, the deduction starts to phase out, and you receive no deduction at all if your income is more than $109,000 per year. These amounts will change if married but filing separately.
This deduction was created as part of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006, and was extended at the end of 2014. Unless Congress decides to renew it, it expired at the end of 2015. The good news is, Congress has renewed the same set of expired tax breaks for years, including this one, but you should nevertheless be very careful about making tax moves before another possible extension of the PMI deduction becomes official.
8. Home Improvements and Expenses: If making home improvements, you can't write off the cost of materials and labor, but you can write off the interest of a home loan to pay the contractor and purchase the materials. And if you sell your home, you can add the cost of the improvements to the asking price, which will decrease the capital gains you may otherwise owe.
9. Buying a House: The IRS allows first-time home buyers to withdraw up to $10,000 from their traditional IRA and Roth IRAs without penalty to help with a home purchase. A spouse, parent, child or grandchild can contribute another $10,000 from their IRA accounts, for a total of up to $20,000. Buyers can also borrow half of their 401k balance up to $50,000 for the purchase of a home, but the interest on a 401k loan is not tax-deductible.
Other tax deductions homeowners may want to investigate include a home office deduction; selling costs such as real estate broker's commissions, title insurance, legal fees, advertising costs, administrative costs, escrow fees, and inspection fees; capital gains exclusion; and if you moved to take a new job, moving costs. For consumers who want to find out more, the IRS website has a number of free publications on real estate tax laws and deductions.
Real estate activity will always be a crucial factor to our nation's economy, which means the government will always provide tax incentives to entice consumers to purchase and own real estate. Both prospective and current homeowners should take the time to learn about these tax deductions to make sure they are taking advantage of all the financial benefits of home ownership.

Massage and other hands-on therapies are increasingly utilized to address headache and migraine.
A new pilot study that evaluated the effect of a trigger point-specific physiotherapy on headache frequency, intensity and duration in children with episodic or chronic tension-type headache found that the therapy significantly reduced headache frequency, intensity and duration.
The researchers from the Department of Pediatric Neurology and Developmental Medicine, Dr von Haunersches Kinderspital, Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich, Germany, worked with nine girls between ages 5 and 15. The girls had all been diagnosed with tension-type headache and received trigger point-specific physiotherapy twice a week.
The researchers noted that these findings suggest trigger point therapy could assist children with tension-type headache, and that further (and larger) studies are warranted.

"Study provides evidence about benefits of massage therapy"

I always choke up when I hear 'Tender' by Blur.
NIN did do the original. Johnny Cash did the cover.
Wow, the original is way better.
Wilson isn't the original either.
Wayne Chochran is the one who first wrote and performed Last Kiss.
Hurt, I suppose you're talking about? Adding that as well, if I haven't already. Prefer Cash's version.
It tells the story of a college freshman coming home for spring break to learn his high school sweetback has died.
"Thumbtack" by Bob Mould always chokes me up.

Q: Will there be a difference between Unity "Desktop" and Unity "Netbook" interface? What has me slightly confused from all the different reports about Unity becoming the default shell in the 11.04 desktop edition:
Some claim and this is how most people seem to see it, that what currently is the UNE interface will be taken 1:1 (including any changes made during the Natty cycle) and used as the interface for the desktop version - meaning that the interface will be exactly the same for 11.04 UNE and UDE.
Some other reports talk more along the lines a "desktop unity", making it sound, that while both will be using Unity, the Desktop edition will get it's own Unity, tailored  specifically towards the Desktop formfactor. So both editions will be using Unity, but with slight differences in the layout or interface.
So my question is, will there be any difference between 11.04 Unity "Desktop" and Unity "Netbook" interface?

A: For a short summary from Unity's Technical Lead Neil Patel interview with OMG!Ubuntu!.

Will Unity for Netbook Edition be any different to Unity for Desktop Edition come Natty?
Yeah, all the things which we will change for the Desktop edition will automatically switch back to netbook-style when we detect a netbook. This will obviously need some good testing, and I'm leaning towards making it an option (autodetect / desktop / netbook) in case people want to use Desktop on netbook or vice versa.

A: The details about this have been discussed at the Ubuntu Developer Summit. The blueprint with the information is available here.


Jan, I added vb code into my personal signature. Now that it is disabled I want 2 delete it, but i can't log in. When I go to profile it doesnt let me type in my full user name. I cant get in to change it. What do I do?
We set it up so that people cannot register with so long names anymore, but apparently that effects the current users also. I will find a solution today I promise.
About the vb code is it still on, but I turned of the images when I found out they were allowed as that was not intended. The possibilities for abuse and the extra bandwidth and load time is to high a price to pay I think.
Didn't want to open a new thread.
Without Jesus, a hopeless end. With him, an endless hope.

Uzbekistan ? One of the Centers of Ancient Civilization
HOME Govt/Politics Politics
이경식 기자
History of Uzbekistan dates back to the 2 millennium BC
History of Uzbekistan dates back to the 2 millennium BC and is more than 3.5 thousand years old. Some of the cities of Uzbekistan, Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, Shakhrisabz, the contemporaries of Rome and Babylon, and are centers of civilizations of the Great Silk Road.
The Great Silk Road is one of the most significant cultural and socio-economic phenomena of the world history. These cities which were the most important hubs of the Silk Road and the ancient culture, developed science, education, crafts and art, trade, palaces, temples and mosques were being built as early as in the Middle Ages. All of these ancient civilizations and cultures that emerged and developed in the area, turned Uzbekistan into one of the centers of world tourism.
Today, the country has more than 7,000 ancient archaeological sites from different eras and civilizations. The country ranks 9th in the number of historical monuments and attractions. Tourists visit Uzbekistan to see with their own eyes ancient cities of the country and its historical monuments. Especially having seen Samarkand, tourists are amazed by the historical significance and beauty of the country. The city with nearly two thousand years history attracts the attention of travelers, tourists and visitors for its magnificent architectural monuments, its blue domes, unique oriental appearance and zest. Samarkand entered the top 50 cities in the world by the US rating agency Huffington Post, which must be visited.
More than 20 of the most beautiful monuments of Samarkand are recognized as the greatest achievements of the world culture: the Registan, "Gur-Emir" Mausoleum, "Bibi Khanum" Palace, Ensemble "Shakhi Zinda", and the historical center of the city were included in the UNESCO World Heritage List (2001). Samarkand is the home of the largest observatory of the Middle Ages - "Ulugbek" (1428), which houses the grand marble sextant to measure the coordinates of the sun, moon and other planets.
Bukhara has for centuries fascinated the entire world. Many unique ancient monuments are being preserved in the Holy Bukhara. Architectural structures of the city are well maintained and considered treasures of universal significance. Bukhara is the home of the world-famous architectural monuments such as the Mausoleum of Ismail Samani, Ark Fortress, Kalyan Minaret and mosque, Ulugbek Madrassa, Ensemble "Labi-Hauz", and "Chor Minor" Mosque.
Khiva is one of the few cities in the world, where historical buildings have maintained their original appearance. In fact, the city is an open-air museum, which is at least 2,500 years old. The inner part of the city - "Ichan-Kala", is a historical monument of the world significance, which hosts well arranged palaces, mosques, mausoleums, and minarets. Most of the architectural monuments of Khiva's "Ichan-Kala" date late XVIII - early XIX centuries. But excavations on its territory showed that there are even more ancient layers beneath belonging to the 3rd and even earlier centuries BC.
A significant role in the cultural and spiritual life of Uzbekistan is played by the cities, pearls of Islamic culture, such as Shakhrisabz and Kokand.
Shakhrisabz is the birthplace of the great commander Amir Temur and the state dynasty, and the second capital of his vast empire. The attention of tourists and architectural monuments of the city: Palace Tamerlane Ak-Saray, the Tomb of Dorus Siadat, Kok-Gumbaz, the complex of mausoleums Gumbez-Seyidan. In 2000, the historic center of Shakhrisabz was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Kokand, the oldest city in the Fergana Valley and its religious and cultural center, was the capital of the Kokand Khanate in XVIII - XIX centuries. Among the main attractions are the majestic palace of Kokand Khudoyar Khan (1871), Emir Madrassah (XVIII century), the architectural ensemble Dahman-Shohon (1825) and numerous craft shops.
The capital of modern Uzbekistan - Tashkent, having more than 2200 years of history, is one of the largest cities in Central Asia. Tashkent boasts numerous archaeological sites, which now amount to more than 240. On the outskirts of the capital an ancient settlement Shashtepa was found, which emerged in the IV - V century BC and which preceded the formation of the city.
Speaking about the great touristic potential of Uzbekistan, the alternative forms of tourism should be mentioned, particularly eco-tourism. Today it attracts a growing attention and determines ever more the value of the tourism in general. Indeed, the country has astonishing natural and weather conditions, vast deserts, mountain ranges, rivers, national parks. Among them Ugam-Chatkal National Nature Park with eco tourism potential, the Amudarya and the Syrdarya rivers, Karakum and Kyzylkum deserts, Nurata mountains, lake Aydarkul. Each region has a number of unique picturesque cantons that can impress tourists.
Fascinating Uzbek national cuisine can amaze any tourist. Once tried, one would never forget the great taste of its dishes. Ancient culinary heritage of the Uzbek people today is a unique phenomenon which represents tremendous history and tradition of the people. Uzbek cuisine is one of the most flamboyant and diverse in its taste and appearance in the whole East. Especially "plov", which was considered among the peoples of the East, as not just food but a remedy that can cure various diseases. After a bloody battle, prolonged starvation or hard work a person was served plov, which was not only to saturate him, but also to raise the spirits and restore health. Today, the necessary procedures are underway to include Uzbek plov in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List. Richness of culture and special harmony of Uzbek delicacies attract a growing number of tourists.

Bonfire night can be a stressful time if your pet is scared of fireworks. A PDSA report from 2015 found 39% of pets have a fear of fireworks 1. Although we know the colourful explosions in the sky are perfectly safe, our pets don't understand. Their heightened sense of hearing also makes fireworks more intense. For dogs, cats and other pets frightened of fireworks, each bang causes a rush of adrenaline and the release of stress hormones.
There are lots of ways you can help your pet feel calmer during the firework season. Below are some tips on how to prepare and things you can start doing now. You'll also find recommended products and tips to help a pet feel at ease when a firework display begins nearby. First up are the signs of stress that your pet may show, indicating fireworks are making them feel anxious.
Making firework night as stress-free as possible requires some advanced planning. It's a good idea to start thinking about your prep before November, especially as some displays often take place the weekend before bonfire night.
If you are a new puppy owner or thinking about getting a puppy, their experiences when young can affect them when they grow older. When your puppy is 0-16 weeks (the socialisation phase) they are very responsive to stimuli. Exposing your puppy to unusual sounds, sights, people and other dogs during this period of their life can make a more relaxed adult dog.
Microchip your pet – Microchipping your dog is now a legal requirement in the UK but not required for cats. Scared pets can try to escape, so it's important that if they go missing a microchip is in place to help reunite pet and owner.
Desensitise your pet to loud noises and fireworks – Habituation is a type of learning where a response to a stimulus (e.g. stress caused by the sound of fireworks) is reduced through repeated exposure. Playing firework noises on a low volume ahead of bonfire night will reduce your pet's stress response to that sound. You can buy desensitisation CDs filled firework noises that can be played on a stereo or you can use these amazing free Soundcloud files from Dog's Trust on your PC. Begin playing these sounds at a low volume and if your pet responds well, you can increase the volume over time.
Build a firework den – A firework den is a place that muffles the sound of the fireworks, hides them from sight and makes your pet feel safe. This could be behind the sofa, in a wardrobe or under a table. When you've found the perfect spot, add blankets to muffle the sound and hide fireworks from view. Familiar toys and pillows can also make your pet feel more comfortable and safe.
Secure the house and garden – Before bonfire night, make sure the home and garden are escape proof! Scared pets are more likely to try and flee. Close and lock windows, gates, doors and flaps. If you have to answer the door, make sure your pet is secure in another room before answering.
Take a long walk before nightfall – Before the firework beings, around dusk, take your dog for a long walk to help tire them out. This can help them feel more restful during the evening ahead.
Serve your pet a carbohydrate-rich meal – A large meal ahead of the fireworks can make your pet feel more relaxed during the evening. This is due to the body using energy to digest a large meal and a rise in the levels of L-tryptophan – an amino acid that is converted to serotonin, which regulates mood and relaxation.
The tips above will give your pet a head start before the fireworks begin, but there are still more options if your pet shows signs of stress once the fireworks start.
Close windows and blinds and draw the curtains – If you haven't already, closing windows and drawing the curtains will minimise the amount of noise and light getting into your house. Don't lock your pet away in a room however. If they are unable to retreat to somewhere they feel safe, this will make them more stressed.
Play background noise – Having the radio or TV on can help mask the sound of the fireworks. The constant noise will also make the firework sounds seem less unexpected. Don't turn the volume too high in an attempt to completely cover the sound though, as this could damage your pet's delicate hearing.
Keep calm yourself – Don't allow yourself to become stressed and anxious over your pet's fear. They will pick up on your mood and this can make them stressed too.
Avoid reinforcing your pet's fear – If your pet wants to be around you when the fireworks start going off, let them do so. Don't excessively comfort them however, as this can reinforce their fear and justify their scared behaviour.
Don't punish your pet for being afraid – On the flip side, don't punish your pet for being afraid. This can greatly increase their stress and will not eliminate their fear.
Don't restrain a scared pet – Cats in particular do not like to be restrained when scared. Allow your pet to hide behind the sofa if that is where they feel safer. Hopefully, your firework den will be useful here. Restraining a scared animal is dangerous and can exacerbate their fear.
Give toys and treats as a distraction – Their favourite toy or some treats ahead of time can help distract your pet when the fireworks start going off. A filled KONG toy or food puzzle can help keep your pet distracted for longer.
Zylkène – Zylkène is available for dogs and cats, it contains a milk protein derivative that induces relaxation in newborns. Give Zylkène 1-2 days before the fireworks begin for the best effect.
Calmex – Calmex is another nutraceutical option, available for dogs and cats. It creates a lasting feeling of relaxation for up to 6 hours and is useful for acute situations (like bonfire night). Not recommended for long-term use.
Pheromones – Available for dogs (Adaptil – 30 day starter pack) and cats (Feliway – 30 day starter pack), these pheromones are detected by dogs and cats but not humans. Available in diffuser, spray, collar and tablet forms. Dogs and cats produce many pheromones, but the ones found in Adaptil/Feliway decreased stress. Switch a diffuser on a few hours before the fireworks begin for the best results.
Other Products – Calming collars are available, although not considered as potent as tablets, sprays or diffusers. Valerian is a herb used to treat anxiety in humans and is also available for pets. Bach Pet Rescue Remedy also receives a lot of reviews although not everyone sees a noticeable difference.
In severe cases, dogs or cats with noise phobias will still show signs of stress, even after following these tips. In these cases you will need to speak with your vet about pharmaceutical options. See this in-depth look at how noise phobias can be managed for more information. Your vet may refer you to a canine behaviourist who will support your pet.
Do you have any tips not listed here for helping your pet feel safe and secure on bonfire night? Have you had success with any of the products listed above? Let us know in the comments section below.
Next Are Essential Oils Safe for Dogs?
Thank you for your tips. My dog trembles and hides under my every firework night. I'll try these tips and hope it works well for him.
Thanks for sharing these information. My doggos can not stand fireworks.

It was a very busy and productive year for the Natural History Museum as their experts described 552 new species that included dinosaurs, crustaceans, plants, and even a meteorite.
The majority of the new species described by the museum were a group of crustaceans called copepods. Wherever there is water, you'll find the small shrimp-like creatures. "Copepods are not only free-living but many are parasites and they can be found living in virtually every other major animal group," stated Professor Geoff Boxshall. A total of 291 copepods species were described in 2021.
A total of 52 wasps, 13 moths, 7 crabs, 6 flies, and 5 amphipods were described as well. Additionally, 91 new beetle species were described that included a couple of green and purple glittering metallic beetles that were from India.
There were 10 new species of amphibians and reptiles that included five snakes. The other five included a fan-throated lizard and a gecko found in India; a frog from Vietnam; another frog that is categorized as likely extinct; and a snake-like amphibian called a caecilian. Eight algae species, six parasitic worms, and three diatoms were described as well.

Five new plants species from the eastern part of Africa were described which included jewelweeds that have white or pink flowers (very few have red flowers).
Six new dinosaur species – four which were found in the United Kingdom – have been described by the museum. Two of them were large carnivorous spinosaurs that were found on the Isle of Wight. The other two that were discovered in the UK were a dinosaur with a huge nose called a Brighstoneus simmondsi (also found on the Isle of Wight); and the Pendraig milnerae which was the earliest ever carnivorous dinosaur found in the United Kingdom. The two species that were not found in the UK were the Spicomellus afer which was the first ever ankylosaur discovered in Africa; and a sauropod from China named Rhomaleopakhus turpanensis.
Other discoveries included fossil bryozoans (also called moss animals), algae, arachnids, and brachiopods that were trapped inside of amber. An ancient relative of crocodiles was described as well. There were two prehistoric mammals – Megalomys camerhogne from the Caribbean, and the Borealestes cullinensis which was a "Jurassic mouse" that lived about 166 million years ago in Scotland.

A very interesting discovery was made in February of 2021 when a fireball flew through the sky before landing in a driveway in the town of Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, England. More than 600 grams of the meteorite were located in the driveway. It was revealed that the space rock had come from billions of kilometers away and was heated to more than 1,600 degrees Celsius (2,912 degrees Fahrenheit) when it streaked across the sky. This meteorite, which has been classified as being a carbonaceous chondrite, was the first to have been found in the United Kingdom in the last 30 years and is believed to date back 4.6 billion years when our Solar System first formed.
Pictures of some of the creatures and of the meteorite can be viewed here.
