Kaiserin Elisabeth (Sisi) - Die alternde Kaiserin
Sisi-Pfad durch die Wagenburg
Der Lebensweg Kaiserin Elisabeths von ihrer Hochzeit bis zu ihrem tragischen Tod.
Gezeigt werden u. a. ihr Einzugswagen als kaiserliche Braut, die bezaubernden Kutschen ihrer Kinder, der goldene Imperialwagen in dem sie zu ihrer Krönung in Budapest gefahren wurde und jene Kutsche, die sie unmittelbar vor ihrer Ermordung in Genf benützte. Am Ende dieser Reihe steht der imposante schwarze Leichenwagen, mit dem sie zu Grabe getragen wurde.
Präsentiert werden diese Kutschen gemeinsam mit Porträts, Gemälden und weltweit einmaligen Objekten aus Sisis persönlichem Besitz: Eine wahre Ikone für Sisi-Fans ist das prachtvolle schwarze Kleid mit meterlanger Schleppe, das um 1885 von Fanny Scheiner für sie entworfen wurde. Die eindrucksvolle Erscheinung der Kaiserin mit der berühmten, von ihr erfundenen „Wiener Wespentaille“, wird durch dieses Originalkleid auf einzigartige und unvergleichliche Weise wieder lebendig gemacht. Kultstatus haben auch der einzig erhaltene Sattel der Kaiserin (die als beste Reiterin ihrer Zeit galt) und ihre nun erstmals rekonstruierte „Reitkapelle“ mit den Porträts ihrer unzähligen Lieblingspferde.

Russia: Shoigu gets his verbal claws out after UK's Fallon pokes the bear over Libya
Russia's Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu smoothly parried a jibe from UK Defence Secretary Michael Fallon from Moscow, Tuesday, bearing his claws with subtly over the British diplomat’s comments about Russia’s involvement in Libya.
Fallon had stated over the weekend that “We don’t need Russia sticking his paws into the Libyan crisis. Shoigu responded, They have a lion for their emblem, right? There is an old saying: every lion is a cat, but not every cat is a lion. Let everyone mind their own business. And I do not think that in their zoo there is an animal, which may tell our bear what to do.
SOT, Unidentified Student, Moscow State Institute of International Relations, (Russian): Would you comment on the statement by your British colleague Michael Fallon at the Munich Conference on Russia's actions in Libya. I will quote: We don't need the bear sticking his paws in.
SOT, Sergei Shoigu, Russia's Defence Minister, (Russian): Continuing to speak in relation to animals, they have a lion for their emblem, right? There is an old saying: every lion is a cat, but not every cat is a lion. Let everyone mind their own business. And I do not think that in their zoo there is an animal, which may tell our bear what to do.

Russia: Attemps to change Syrian authorities from abroad 'have almost stopped' - Shoigu
About 99 percent of Russia’s Strategic Missile Forces are in combat readiness, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said in Moscow on Wednesday.
SOT, Sergei Shoigu, Russian Defence Minister (Russian): About 99 per cent of the launchers of the Strategic Missile Forces are in combat readiness.
SOT, Sergei Shoigu, Russian Defence Minister (Russian): A number of geopolitical problems were solved, significant damage to international terrorist organisations in Syria was done and their financial support and system of resource provision are damaged. The collapse of the Syrian state has been prevented, the civil war and attempts to change the legal authorities controlled from abroad have almost stopped.
SOT, Sergei Shoigu, Russian Defence Minister (Russian): Plus, military information operations were created during this time, which are much more effective and stronger.

U.S. Air Strike In Syria Condemned By Assad
On Friday the United States said it believed Iran was directing an advancing convoy in southern Syria on Thursday targeted by military aircraft. It a possible sign of increased tension between Washington and Tehran in the Syrian war.
According to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis at the Pentagon, the U.S. strike was defensive in nature. It was condemned by the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. He has the backing of Iran and Russia.
On Thursday a member of the U.S.-backed Syrian rebel forces told Reuters the convoy comprised Syrian and Iranian-backed militias and was headed toward the garrison in Syria used by U.S. and U.S.-backed forces around the town of At Tanf.
The United States determined that the convoy posed a threat.

The In-Laws
Emmy Award-winner Peter Falk (Columbo, The Princess Bride) and Academy Award-winner Alan Arkin (Little Miss Sunshine, Slums of Beverly Hills) are brilliantly funny in this zany comedy about a dentist and a CIA Agent, and their riotous misadventures on the eve of their children's wedding. Written by Andrew Bergman (Honeymoon in Vegas, Blazing Saddles), and co-starring Academy Award-nominee David Paymer (Alex & Emma, State & Main), Ed Begley, Jr. (The Accidental Tourist) and Nancy Dussault (TV's Too Close for Comfort). A runaway boxoffice hit, this film was directed by Academy Award-honoree Andrew Hiller (Carpool, Silver Streak).

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Corfu (, also US: ) or Kerkyra (Greek: Κέρκυρα, romanized: Kérkyra, pronounced [ˈcercira] (listen); Ancient Greek: Κόρκυρα, romanized: Kórkyra, pronounced [kórkyra]; Medieval Greek: Κορυφώ, romanized: Koryfó; Latin: Corcyra) is a Greek island in the Ionian Sea. It is the second largest of the Ionian Islands, and, including its small satellite islands, forms the margin of the northwestern frontier of Greece. The island is part of the Corfu regional unit, and is administered as a single municipality, which also includes the smaller islands of Ereikoussa, Mathraki and Othonoi. The municipality has an area of 610,9 km2, the island proper 592,8 km2. The principal city of the island and seat of the municipality (pop. 32,095) is also named Corfu. Corfu is home to the Ionian University.
The island is bound up with the history of Greece from the beginnings of Greek mythology. Its history is full of battles and conquests. Ancient Korkyra took part in the Battle of Sybota which was a catalyst for the Peloponnesian War, and, according to Thucydides, the largest naval battle between Greek city states until that time. Thucydides also reports that Korkyra was one of the three great naval powers of fifth century BC Greece, along with Athens and Corinth.
