A keeshondDue to their double coat, a thick undercoat and a longer "guard" coat above that, Keeshonden need regular brushing. An hour per week will keep the dog comfortable and handsome. The Keeshond's coat sheds dirt when dry, and the breed is not prone to doggy odor, so only infrequent bathing is necessary. The coat acts as insulation and protects the dog from sunburn and insects, so shaving or clipping is not desirable. The coat also loses its distinct color as the black tipping on the hairs will be shorn off. If frequent brushing is too much effort, it is better to choose another breed rather than clip the Keeshond short.

Auschwitz the largest of Nazi Germany's concentration camps and extermination camps,

operational during World War II. The camp took its German name from the hosting town of Oswiecim. Following the

German invasion of Poland in September 1939, Oswiecim was annexed by Nazi Germany and renamed Auschwitz, the town's German name. Burkina, the German translation of Brzezinski (birch tree), refers to a small Polish village nearby which later was mostly destroyed by the Germans.

The camp commandant, Rudolf Höss, testified at the Nuremberg Trials that up to 3 million people had died at Auschwitz. The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum has revised this figure to 1.1 million about 90% of whom were Jews from almost every country in Europe. Most victims were killed in Auschwitz II's gas chambers using zyklon b; other deaths were caused by systematic starvation, forced labor, lack of disease control, individual executions, and purported "medical experiments".

In 1947, in remembrance of the victims, Poland founded a museum at the site of the first two camps. By 1994, some 22 million visitors - 700,000 annually - had passed through the iron gate crowned with the motto Arbeit macht frei (Work brings freedom). The anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz by Soviet troops on January 27, 1945, is celebrated on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Holocaust Memorial Day in the United Kingdom, and other similar memorial days in various countries.

M.E. Kerr Dinky hocker shoots smack!!! Tucker Woolf, finds a cat but has to give it away

due to his father's allergic reaction. He then meets Dinky Hocker, a girl in the neighborhood (Brooklyn Heights), when she responds to the sign he puts up for his cat asking, "Do you feel unwanted, in the way, and the cause of everyone's misery?...If you know how a loser feels and want to help, call Main 4-8415. (p. 6)" Tucker gradually gets to know Dinky and about her "issues", a main one being that her mother is eager to help drug users but ignores Dinky's needs. Dinky copes with neglect by overeating. 

Tosca In February 1798 French troops had occupied Rome and other parts of the Papal

States and proclaimed a new Roman Republic. The opera's Cesare Angelotti (based on the historic Liborio Angelucci was one of the republican leaders and consul of Rome. The Pope had to flee to Tuscany: Ferdinando IV of Bourbon, King of Naples, tried to rescue him but was himself defeated. In January 1799 the Parthenopean Republic or Neapolitan Republic was proclaimed. In April 1799, while Napoleon was in Egypt, an Austrian-Russian army under General Suvorov crossed into northern Italy and defeated the French. In June Cardinal Ruffo occupied Naples in the name of King Ferdinand, and in September the Bourbon troops entered Rome. The reactionary party was inspired by Maria Carolina of Austria, the wife of Ferdinando IV and sister of Marie Antoinette. After the death of Pope Pius VI in August 1799 she assumed the regency and started a "cleansing" action against republicans, liberals or simply people who had compromised themselves under French rule. There were thousands of victims, including many artists, scientists and intellectuals.

The following spring, Napoleon crossed the Alps with an army and met the Austrians (commanded by general Mélas) at Marengo. The Austrians outnumbered the enemy and, after fierce fighting, took control of the locality in the morning of 14 June 1800. The battle seemed over when Marshal Desaix, at the cost of his life, managed to reverse the situation. By evening the victory had been won by the French army.
