Mozart complete opera, The Magic Flute (audio only) conducted by Herbert von Karajan
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kHqX1HuUpk
It's a little different musically from productions I am more used to.
The musical interpretation is a bit different.
I don't speak or understand much German, but I think the German ennunciation in this production is more distinct.
I do find that sometimes von Karajan can be technically excellent, but a bit soulless in his interpretation.
I liked the Levine, Metropolitan Opera production featuring Kathleen Battle the best.
The sets and costumes of that production were designed by David Hockney.

Don't believe democracy has come to Burma through a hole in the wall.

This is junta inspired violence.
They have been working on this since 2010.

wow, wearing denim and jeans,unrecognizable.
But you bet her outfit is always expensive, and T may never cough up on that 1 m.
In any case, his foundation is under investigation and can't donate in any case,
and it is A LOT less than what other celebs such as JJ Watt have already raised (17m)--
I think T is on skids.
While trumping up mileage on Air Force One and Secret Service budget.
Meanwhile, Mueller has a copy of first rant he wrote, with Stephen Miller, the Nazi, acting as steno.
I see DJT as running scared every single day.

Amazing story of Lew Wallace, Union General during American Civil War, author of Ben Hur--
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben-Hur:_A_Tale_of_the_Christ
All written from library research, some at the Library of Congress.
I was much struck by the theological discussions of the Three Kings in the desert in Part One.
Just amazing.
This just shows, how classics become classics. So amazed it was written so long ago.

Quote of the day--from Ben Hur--Gutenberg Porject
No one, be it remembered, seeks the desert for a pleasure-ground.
Life and business traverse it by paths along which the bones of things
dead are strewn as so many blazons. Such are the roads from well to
well, from pasture to pasture. The heart of the most veteran sheik
beats quicker when he finds himself alone in the pathless tracts.
So the man with whom we are dealing could not have been in search
of pleasure; neither was his manner that of a fugitive; not once
did he look behind him. In such situations fear and curiosity are
the most common sensations; he was not moved by them. When men are
lonely, they stoop to any companionship; the dog becomes a comrade,
the horse a friend, and it is no shame to shower them with caresses
and speeches of love. The camel received no such token, not a touch,
not a word.
Exactly at noon the dromedary, of its own will, stopped, and uttered
the cry or moan, peculiarly piteous, by which its kind always protest
against an overload, and sometimes crave attention and rest. The master
thereupon bestirred himself, waking, as it were, from sleep. He threw
the curtains of the houdah up, looked at the sun, surveyed the country
on every side long and carefully, as if to identify an appointed place.
Satisfied with the inspection, he drew a deep breath and nodded,
much as to say, "At last, at last!" A moment after, he crossed
his hands upon his breast, bowed his head, and prayed silently.
The pious duty done, he prepared to dismount. From his throat
proceeded the sound heard doubtless by the favorite camels of
Job--Ikh! ikh!--the signal to kneel. Slowly the animal obeyed,
grunting the while. The rider then put his foot upon the slender
neck, and stepped upon the sand.
